Award of Share Options

London, United Kingdom - July 5, 2017 - Landore Resources Limited (AIM:LND) ("Landore Resources" or "the Company") announces that a total of 21,500,000 options of no par value in the Company (the "New Share Options") ("Ordinary Shares") have been awarded to the Directors, certain other members of the Company's management and consultants.

The exercise price of the New Share Options is 3.19 pence, being a 10 per cent. premium to the mid-market closing price of the Ordinary Shares on 4 July 2017. The New Share Options are not subject to any performance conditions and will expire 5 years from the date of the award.

Details of the New Share Options awarded are set out below:

Name	No. of New Share Options	Exercise price (p)	Date of expiry
William Humphries	10,000,000	3.19	4 July 2022
Richard Prickett	5,000,000	3.19	4 July 2022
Michele Tuomi	5,000,000	3.19	4 July 2022

Helen Green	500,000	3.19	4 July 2022
Others	500,000	3.19	4 July 2022

The New Share Options are partial compensation for the Directors, senior management and consultants whose remuneration was significantly reduced in order to secure the Company's ability to survive in very challenging market conditions and whose loyalty was justified by the significant gold discovery, and continued progress, at the BAM East Gold Project on the Company's Junior Lake Property.

Following the award of the New Share Options, there are currently 68,350,000 options over Ordinary Shares ("Share Options") outstanding. A summary of the Share Options held by the Directors and management are set out below:

Related Party Transaction

Given that there are no independent Directors, Strand Hanson Limited, the Company's Nominated Adviser, considers the terms of the Director Options to be fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
