Cora Gold Limited, the West African focused gold exploration
company, announces the establishment of a share option scheme (the
"Scheme") and the granting of options (the "Options").
As outlined in the Company's Admission Document dated 4 October

Options are for a period of five years from the Date of Grant.
The Options are subject to the following principal
conditions:
1. Each option holder executing an option deed letter with the Company ("Grant Date");
2. Approval by shareholders at the Company's next annual general meeting ("Approval");
3. The Options are not assignable or transferable;
4. The option holder remaining a director, employee or

Notes to the Editors
Cora Gold is a new gold exploration company focused on two world
class gold regions in Mali and Senegal in West Africa. Historical
exploration has resulted in the highly prospective Sanankoro Gold
Discovery, in addition to multiple, high potential, drill ready
gold targets within its broader portfolio. Cora Gold's primary
focus is on further developing Sanankoro in the Yanfolila Gold Belt
(South Mali), which Cora Gold believes has the potential for a
standalone mine development. Cora Gold's highly experienced and
successful management team has a proven track record in making
multi-million ounce gold discoveries which have been developed into
profitable mines.
