Evrim Resources Reports Drill Results From the Suaqui Verde Property
VANCOUVER, May 30, 2013 - Evrim Resources Corp. (TSX-V:EVM) ("Evrim" or the "Company") is pleased to report results from the Phase 2 drill program at the Suaqui Verde copper-molybdenum porphyry project in Sonora, Mexico. Evrim and exploration partner First Quantum Minerals Ltd. ("First Quantum") have received assay results for five drill holes totaling 3,221 metres of an expanded 2,300 metre drill program. This follow-up program was designed to expand on mineralized zones encountered in Phase 1 drilling and to test exposed targets within the Adriana system and geophysical targets within the surrounding basin. Drill Highlights
- Drill hole DHSV12013 represents a discovery of an extension to the Adriana system within the basin and located over 700 metres east of hole DHSV11004, and returned 150.8 metres of 0.11% copper, 0.03 g/t gold, 0.6 g/t silver and 0.003% molybdenum.
- Drill holes DHSV12016 and DHSV13017 represent a blind discovery of another system located within the basin four kilometres south of the Adriana system. Drill hole DHSV12016 returned 24.0 metres grading 0.18% copper, 0.01 g/t gold, 2.8 g/t silver and 0.0001% molybdenum.
- Drill hole DHSV12014 returned 97.1 metres grading 0.13% copper, 0.05 g/t gold, 1.4 g/t silver and 0.004% molybdenum including 13.65 metres of 0.31% copper, 0.08 g/t gold, 2.3 g/t silver and 0.005% molybdenum. This hole was collared 800 metres southeast of DHSV11003 and 570 metres southwest of DHSV11004.
- An east-northeast corridor of anomalous copper mineralization measuring 2,200 metres by 500 metres has now been outlined at the Adriana system.
"The blind discovery in the basin opens a new area for exploration at Suaqui Verde," commented Paddy Nicol, President and CEO of Evrim Resources. "Drill holes DHSV12016 and DHSV13017 demonstrate our ability to discover new porphyry targets under deep cover. This ability will serve as a foundation for future work."
About the Suaqui Verde Project
The Adriana system at Suaqui Verde is a copper-molybdenum porphyry system represented by a two kilometre by four kilometre alteration foot print comprising propylitic-phyllic-potassic alteration. The Phase 2 drill program comprised wide step outs ranging from 400 metres to 700 metres where significant mineralization is hosted in granodioritic intrusive rocks and fracture-controlled mineralization in biotite-magnetite altered (potassic alteration) andesitic volcanic rocks, important components of porphyry style mineralization.
Additional drilling within the basin focused on finding new porphyry centres or extensions to the Adriana system. This drilling was successful in identifying a new blind discovery four kilometres south of the Adriana system. Two holes drilled in this system collared 1,250 metres apart intersected fracture-controlled porphyry style mineralization in magnetite±biotite±silica hornfelsed andesitic volcanic rocks in drill hole DHSV12016 and wide continuous intervals of quartz-sericite-pyrite stockwork (phyllic alteration) with anomalous copper cutting similarly-altered andesitic volcanic rocks in drill hole DHSV13017.
Evrim Resources Corp. and partner First Quantum Minerals Ltd. are reviewing the results of this program to determine appropriate steps to follow-up this program. Drill hole intercepts for DHSV12013, DHSV12014, and DHSV12016 are provided in the table below:
