Condor (AIM:CNR), a gold exploration company focused on delineating a large commercial resource on its wholly owned 2.33M oz gold resource at La India Project in Nicaragua, announces that is has received notice from Mark Child, the Company's Executive Chairman and CEO, to exercise 450,000 options at a price of 20 pence per ordinary share that were granted in 2008.

Pursuant to the exercise of options the Company has received funds of £90,000 and accordingly it has issued and allotted 450,000 new ordinary shares in the Company, which on admission will rank, pari passu, with all existing ordinary shares. Application has been made for the new ordinary shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and admission is expected to take place on or around 27 November 2013.
