VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 6, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Evrim Resources Corp. (TSX-V:EVM) (“Evrim” or the “Company”) has been advised by partner Vale Exploration Canada Inc. (“Vale”), that it is relinquishing its option to earn up to a 70% interest in the Arroyo Amarillo project in Sonora, Mexico.

Evrim President & CEO Paddy Nicol stated, “We would like to thank Vale and their exploration team for their efforts on the Arroyo Amarillo project over the past two years. Their geophysical, geochemical, and mapping work will help contribute to our knowledge base of Arroyo Amarillo, the un-optioned San Nicolas project, and the greater Santa Rosa district. Evrim will now compile data received from Vale and determine the next steps for exploration at Arroyo Amarillo before seeking a new partner.”

About the Arroyo Amarillo Project

The Arroyo Amarillo project covers approximately 200 square kilometres of underexplored ground located 180 kilometres southeast of Hermosillo. The project hosts polymetallic veins with significant silver values in widespread propylitic and phyllic alteration zones within Late Cretaceous andesite. This mineralization is interpreted to be the preserved top of a porphyry copper-molybdenum system that has never been tested below the polymetallic vein occurrences. Adjacent to the polymetallic veins are magnetic targets located in a graben filled with post mineral rocks that have not been tested either. Surface grab sampling at Arroyo Amarillo has returned values of up to 2.72 g/t gold, 1405 g/t silver, 1.19% copper, 16.15% lead, and 2.43% zinc.
