TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Dec 19, 2014) - Eloro Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:ELO)(FRANKFURT:P2Q) ("Eloro" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce proposed shares-for-debt transactions (the "Proposed Transactions") in which Eloro proposes to issue up to 5,810,000 common shares ("Common Shares") (of which 950,000 could be issued to insiders of the Corporation) at a price of $0.05 per share in connection with the repayment of unsecured loans made to Eloro. The Proposed Transactions are being undertaken by Eloro in order to conserve capital and improve the Corporation's balance sheet while global financial markets remain turbulent and financing junior exploration companies remains difficult.
The Proposed Transactions would create a new "Control Person" pursuant to applicable securities legislation as it is proposed that Eloro issue Cartier Iron Corp. ("Cartier") 4,760,000 Common Shares at a price of $0.05 per share in connection with the settlement of $238,000 in unsecured loans made by Cartier to Eloro.
The following is a breakdown of the debt proposed to be settled with each related party ("Related Party"), and the number of Common Shares expected to be issued to each of them:
| Name of Insider (Related Party) | Relationship to the Corporation | Loan to be Settled ($) | Shares to be Issued as Payment (#) |
| Thomas Larsen | Director and Officer | 10,000 | 200,000 |
| Miles Nagamatsu | Officer | 10,000 | 200,000 |
| Jorge Estepa | Officer | 10,000 | 200,000 |

| Duster Capital Corp. | Private corporation controlled by Dusan Berka, a Director of the Corporation | 5,000 | 100,000 |
| Martin Bourgoin | Officer | 2,500 | 50,000 |

At the Special Meeting, disinterested shareholders will be entitled to vote on the Proposed Transactions.
