Calidus Resources Reports High Grade Depth Extensions at Klondyke

Keras Resources plc, the AIM listed mineral resource company, notes the announcement released by Calidus Resources Limited (ASX:CAI) ('Calidus'), regarding initial high-grade drilling results from underneath the current Klondyke Mineral Resource at its Warrawoona Gold Project in the Pilbara in Western Australia. The results demonstrate high-grade depth extensions to the currently defined JORC resource of 654,000oz at a grade of 2.06g/t Au at Klondyke. In addition, all results have been received from drilling at St George Shear, located 150m immediately north of and parallel to the Klondyke Main Shear. The results from both the 'Klondyke Deeps' prospect and St George Shear prospect will be included in an updated JORC Resource Estimate for the entire Warrawoona Gold Project in Q1 2019.

Keras currently has 458m shares in Calidus, representing approximately 32.3% of the current issued share capital of Calidus. On successful completion of the aforementioned PFS, an additional 265m performance shares of Calidus ('Performance Shares') owned by Keras will be converted into ordinary shares of Calidus.

Russell Lamming, Chief Executive Officer of Keras, commented, "All indications from this drill programme, and previous programmes conducted at the wider Warrawoona Project over the past two years, point to this asset hosting a large and high-grade gold mineralised system. Calidus has already proved-up a significant Resource of +700,000oz gold at Warrawoona, however we are confident that this has potential for substantial upside and we look forward to the publication of a Resource upgrade, due in Q1 2019, as we look to better define and translate the tangible value of this exciting gold asset for Keras investors."
