Vancouver, BC – March 19, 2014: Evrim Resources Corp. (TSX.V:EVM) (“Evrim” or the “Company”) has been advised by its partner, First Quantum Minerals Inc. (“First Quantum”), that it is relinquishing its options to earn up to a 60% interest in the Suaqui Verde and Cardeleña projects in Sonora, Mexico.
Evrim President & CEO Paddy Nicol stated, “We would first like thank First Quantum for their exploration expertise and financial support on the Suaqui Verde and Cardeleña projects over the past three years. Exploration work totalling $3.7 million included geochemical and geophysical surveys, and 9,700 meters of drilling. This information has helped contribute to our understanding of the Suaqui Verde and Cardeleña projects, and the greater Suaqui Verde district. Evrim is in the process compiling the data received from First Quantum to determine the next steps for exploration at both projects.”
About the Suaqui Verde and Cardeleña Projects
The Suaqui Verde project covers approximately 65 km² of ground located in the southern portion of the highly prospective Sonora porphyry belt, host to the world class Cananea and La Caridad porphyry deposits. The project has been explored mostly for porphyry copper mineralization with potentially three porphyry copper, or related systems, identified to date.
The Cardeleña project consists of approximately 30 km² of mineral tenure contiguous to the west of the Suaqui Verde Project. The project was most recently explored for extensions to Suaqui Verde’s porphyry copper systems but historic work focused on gold bearing quartz-tourmaline±magnetite breccia-related mineralization. Recent porphyry exploration work encountered zones of interesting gold mineralization. Evrim is in the process of analyzing these new results in relationship to the historic work.
