Evrim Resources Corp. (TSX-V:EVM) (“Evrim” or the “Company”) is
pleased to announce the acquisition and initial exploration results
of the Cuale gold property, an early-stage exploration property
prospective for high sulphidation epithermal gold-silver in
Jalisco, Mexico. The Cuale project was initially staked under
the Callinan Royalties Generative Alliance (now owned by Altius
Minerals Corporation (TSX:ALS)) with formal title granted to Evrim
for 100% ownership in November 2017.
Cuale Exploration
Highlights
- Rock chip sampling has defined a 500 metre by 250 metre zone of
gold mineralization with all seven samples ranging from 0.19 to
4.56 grams per tonne (g/t) gold;
- Contour soil sampling within the area defines a 400 metre by
140 metre zone of gold anomalism with all seven soil samples
ranging from 0.13 g/t gold to 4.06 g/t gold;
- Excellent infrastructure nearby and within the same region as
the Barqueño project (Agnico Eagle Mines) and the Terronera project
(Endeavour Silver).
“Gold mineralization from sampling at the La
Gloria prospect indicates significant potential for an oxidized
high sulphidation gold system at the Cuale project. These
encouraging early results warrant rapid advancement to define the
full extent of mineralization,” commented Evrim’s Vice President
for New Opportunities and Exploration, Charles Funk.
“Oxidized high sulphidation deposits are highly valued for their
often large tonnages and lower construction costs. Cuale is a
new project for Evrim and the extent of mineralization over such a
broad area presents an uncommonly compelling prospect.”

Mineralization is found in moderately to
strongly silicified rhyolite that contains up to 10% specular
hematite in boxworks, interpreted to have formed after
pyrite. Zones of pervasive silicification with strong clay
alteration of phenocrysts trending to vuggy silica are observed but
the distribution is not yet well understood. Overprinting
white quartz veins and massive specularite veins form sheeted
networks in outcrop. On the margin and at lower elevations,
high temperature clays including pyrophyllite and dickite are noted
before the system grades towards kaolinite with abundant specular
hematite (up to 15%) distally and at lower elevations.
Soil sampling shows gold, silver, bismuth,
molybdenum, lead, antimony with depleted manganese and zinc occur
together in the mineralized zone with elevated copper and arsenic
occurring at lower elevations to the northeast. In rock
samples gold, silver, bismuth and antimony strongly correlate.
About the Cuale Project
The Cuale 100% owned project is a 97 square
kilometre early stage exploration property prospective for high
sulphidation epithermal gold-silver, located 185 kilometres west of
Guadalajara in the Cordillera Madre del Sur. Cuale was
identified and staked under the Callinan Royalties Generative
Alliance (now owned by Altius Minerals), and is subject to a 1.5%
net smelter royalty (“NSR”) for precious metals and a 1.0% NSR for
base metals payable to Altius Minerals. Cuale was identified
and staked as part of the Company's generative exploration
program.
The property is located within the Talpa de
Allende area of Jalisco near Agnico Eagle Mines’ Barqueño project
(663k oz gold and 2.2M oz silver) and Endeavour Silver’s Terronera
project (37M oz silver and 311k oz gold). The area is close
to infrastructure with roads and powerlines crossing the
property.
The property is located within a complex
accreted arc terrane that developed during the Mesozoic Era and
that hosts the majority of volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS)
deposits in Mexico. The accreted arc terrane comprises an
interbedded sequence of rhyolitic volcanics and volcaniclastics
that are only weakly deformed. These units are intruded by
the Cretaceous Puerto Vallarta batholith.
