Evrim Defines New Porphyry Target at Llano del Nogal
Vancouver British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 12, 2016) - Evrim Resources Corp. (TSXV: EVM) ("Evrim" or the "Company") announces new exploration results at the Company's 100% owned Llano del Nogal project in Sonora, Mexico. Recent mapping and ground geophysics has defined a large 1,000 metre by 600 metre zone of porphyry alteration with a buried target at the Suanse area. Llano del Nogal has had very limited exploration and represents one of the few undrilled projects within the Cananea - La Caridad Porphyry Belt.
Suanse Porphyry Target Highlights
- Mapping and geochemical work has defined a 1,000 metre by 600 metre zone of propylitic to potassic altered volcanics, Laramide age intrusives and hydrothermal breccias
- A 600 metre by 500 metre copper (>100 parts per million) in soil anomaly within a broader 900 metre by 500 metre multi-element anomaly. Copper mineralization occurs as chalcopyrite with chlorite-K-feldspar-pyrite in veins and chalcopyrite with magnetite veins within the anomaly.
- Ground magnetics have identified a 400 metre by 400 metre donut-shaped anomaly coincident with the anomalous soil geochemistry
- Interpretation of the alteration, geochemical zonation and geophysics suggests a shallowly buried porphyry target that has never been drill tested
About the Llano del Nogal Project
Llano del Nogal covers approximately 104 square kilometres and lies 180 kilometres northeast of Hermosillo at the junction of the Cananea - La Caridad Porphyry Belt, and an east-northeast structural trend that hosts polymetallic, gold-silver vein, and breccia systems. The project overlies an extensive alteration system, which is exposed over approximately 25 square kilometres.
The property includes windows of pre-mineral Cretaceous rocks intruded by Laramide-equivalent intrusives largely covered by post-mineral rocks. A number of prospective mineralized structures within an east-northeast trending alteration zone are interpreted to be high-level epithermal gold-silver structures that could be related to a buried porphyry copper±molybdenum±gold system.
Suanse Porphyry Target
Mapping at the Suanse target has encountered andesites and dacites that have been intruded by granite-granodiorites and a quartz-feldspar porphyry dyke. A 200 metre by 35 metre quartz-sulphide healed hydrothermal breccia and overprinting epithermal quartz veins indicate a dynamic porphyry environment with multiple intrusive phases. Alteration varies from distal propylitic to locally potassic and the quartz feldspar porphyry dyke is quartz-sericite altered.
A 50 line-kilometre ground magnetic survey defined a donut shaped magnetic high that is coincident with magnetite veinlets in the potassic alteration, surrounding the hydrothermal breccia and quartz-feldspar porphyry dyke in the centre of the prospect.
A 1,400 metre by 1,200 metre soil grid defines a broad multi-element porphyry target. Copper greater than 100 parts per million (ppm) occurs coincidently with the magnetic anomaly over a 500 metre by 500 metre area within a broader 900 metre by 500 metre zone including high bismuth (>1 ppm) and tellurium (500 parts per billion).
Interpreting the zones of potassic alteration, with the strong bismuth, tellurium and copper in soil anomaly and the inverted magnetic model suggest a shallowly buried porphyry is the main target at the Suanse prospect.
