Evrim Resources Corp. Commences $1.5 Million Four Year Exploration Alliance with Callinan Royalties

VANCOUVER, Jan. 17, 2013 - Evrim Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:EVM) ("Evrim" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that geological work has commenced under an agreement with Callinan Royalties Corporation (TSX VENTURE:CAA) ("Callinan") for a four year, C$1.5 million regional exploration alliance (the "Alliance") in Mexico. The Alliance will initially focus on generating gold and silver targets within a 40,000 square kilometre area of interest (AOI). Callinan has already provided the initial funding of C$500,000 for the first year of exploration.

Callinan will provide annual funding to the Alliance and Evrim will conduct generative exploration within the AOI to stake and acquire new projects (the "Projects") and develop the Projects for joint venture purposes. Projects acquired within the AOI during the term of the Alliance will be 100% owned by Evrim and subject to a 1.5% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) in the case of precious metals and a 1.0% NSR in the case of base metals and other minerals to Callinan. Evrim will grant to Callinan a Right of First Offer on the sale of any royalties owned by Evrim on Alliance properties.

The initial phase of the program will consist of compilation of geological and land tenure data within the AOI to identify high-priority targets. The second phase will be to conduct field examination of available targets including surface geochemical sampling and geological mapping and prospecting.

"We are excited to start project generation in another geological terrane in Mexico," commented Paddy Nicol, President and CEO of Evrim. "Evrim's regional and local expertise will provide the Alliance with a head start in identifying new opportunities for new and existing exploration partners. Moreover, it will provide Callinan the potential for the creation of a new portfolio of precious and base metal royalties for its shareholders."
