Shares Issued: 17,853,163

HALIFAX, Nov. 5, 2013 /CNW/ - Elcora Resources Corp. ("Elcora" or the "Company") announces the Company has signed a binding letter of intent ("LOI") to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Graphene Corp. (PvT) Ltd., a Sri Lankan company ("Graphene"). Graphene is the owner of exploration application licenses for 100 metric grid units located in Sri Lanka covering approximately 100 square kilometers (the "Graphite Claims"). The acquisition of the Graphene common shares does not involve a Non Arms Length Party.

Elcora's President and CEO, Troy Grant, commented:

"This is a high-grade graphite prospect that I believe can bring substantial value and growth to the Company. Sri Lankan graphite is unique in the world and can be as high as 99 percent pure in the ground. Elcora focused on past graphite producing areas in Sri Lanka with known graphite occurrences and chose to acquire these Graphite Claims in Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan graphite should enable Elcora to minimize costs and target high end graphite markets. Our experienced international team will focus squarely on unlocking the potential of this graphite property for the shareholders in the coming months."
