Fura Gems Provides Clarifications on Its Coscuez Property Acquisition

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Oct. 30, 2017) - At the request of IIROC, regarding the press release of October 29, 2017 of Fura Gems Inc. (TSX VENTURE:FUR), the Company wishes to clarify certain disclosure with respect to its proposed acquisition of Emporium HS S.A.S.

The current operation on the Coscuez emerald mine is on a small scale basis and there is currently no preliminary economic assessment nor any pre-feasibility or feasibility study to support any economics associated with the property. Fura Gems' decision to continue mining operations at Coscuez is therefore not based on any comprehensive feasibility study of a mineral reserve demonstrating the economic and technical viability of the project. The successful continued mining operations at Coscuez will be subject to technical and economic risks and uncertainties inherent to historical small-scale mining projects that have not been subject to a comprehensive feasibility study.

We also note that the October 29 press release made a reference to "orebody". The Company wishes to clarify that no mineral resource nor any mineral reserve has been defined for the Coscuez emerald mine.
