Evrim Acquires the Ball Creek Project in British Columbia

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 27, 2015 / Evrim Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE: EVM) (“Evrim” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement with Paget Minerals Corp. (“Paget”) to acquire a 100% interest in the Ball Creek project in northwest British Columbia. Ball Creek is an early stage exploration target covering 52,442 hectares of ground prospective for copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry and epithermal gold-silver deposits.

Evrim’s President and CEO, Paddy Nicol, commented, “The Ball Creek property gives Evrim a strategic presence in the Golden Triangle area of northwest British Columbia. The project is central to the Galore Creek and Schaft Creek deposits to the west and the Red Chris Mine to the northeast. In addition, the project has the added benefit of being located eight kilometres west of provincial Highway 37 and the recently commissioned 287 kilovolt transmission line, making Ball Creek one of the most accessible porphyry systems in the Iskut region.”

The Ball Creek project is a significant land package straddling sections of the regionally significant Jurassic Eskay Rift and contains several separate porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum and epithermal gold-silver systems associated with the Jurassic intrusives of the Texas Creek plutonic suite. Prominent gossanous alteration zones occur over an area of 20 square kilometres within the property. The Ball Creek porphyry system contains at least four distinct mineralized zones with extensive potassic, phyllic and propylitic alteration indicating a multi-phase and substantial hydrothermal system. Drilling in the Main zone by previous operators intersected 231 metres grading 0.21% copper and 0.54 g/t gold in drill hole BC07-12 and including 15.24 metres grading 0.42% copper and 1.11 g/t gold. The zones remain open in several directions and at depth, and there is significant potential to expand the area of mineralization to the south at the Cliff, Goat, and ME zones, which have seen very limited exploration to date.

Other prospective mineralized centers distributed across the property have seen only minor exploration. These include the Mess and the North Rainbow porphyry prospects, and the Rainbow, Rojo Grande and HP epithermal systems.

Subject to the approval of Paget’s shareholders and the TSX Venture Exchange, Evrim will pay to Paget $150,000 and additional consideration consisting of cash or shares, at Evrim’s election, in the event certain exploration milestones are made or joint venture payments are received. The Ball Creek property is also subject to an underlying 2% net smelter royalty (NSR), of which half can be purchased for $1.0 million.
