("Everton" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:EVR) is pleased to announce the re-appointments of Mr. Keith Stein, Mr. Steven Mintz, and Mr. Salvador Brouwer as Directors of Everton and Mr. André Audet as Chairman. The Company also welcomes a new director to its Board, Mr. Michel Fontaine. Mr. Fontaine's broad experience in the financial and mining industries provides the background for directing business development and managing the mining division as a Vice-President at DIAGNOS. He will be a great asset to Everton. The Board of Directors would also like to thank Mr. Michael Farrant for his contribution through the years as a Director and wishes him well in all his future endeavors.

The shareholders have also approved an amendment to its Stock Option Plan. Under the "rolling" 10% Stock Option Plan, subject to the required approvals from regulatory authorities, the number of common shares which may be reserved under the Plan is limited to 10% of the aggregate number of common shares of the Corporation issued and outstanding, as the case may be. Consequently, the number of common shares that could be reserved under the Plan could automatically increase or decrease as the number of issued and outstanding common shares of the Corporation increases or decreases. The "rolling" Stock Option Plan must receive shareholder approval yearly, at the annual and special meeting of shareholders.
