Everton Resources Inc. (TSX-V: EVR, Frankfurt: ERV) is pleased to announce that it has earned its 50% interest from Azimut Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: AZM) on the Opinaca A and B gold properties in the vicinity of the Eleonore gold deposit, James Bay region, Quebec.
Exploration work performed by the partners since 2005 led to the discovery of significant gold mineralization including the Charles, Smiley and Inex prospects at Opinaca A, as well as the Dominic and Claude prospects at Opinaca B, for which results have been previously reported. The Claude prospect is considered to be one of the most significant discoveries at Opinaca with a drill intercept of 0.21 g/t Au over 186.8 m, including 1.0 g/t Au over 21.5 m. Several attractive well-defined targets on the two properties have yet to be drilled.
The Opinaca A property is adjacent to the northern boundary of Goldcorp’s Eleonore property hosting the Roberto gold deposit containing an estimated 3.2 million ounces of indicated gold resources at an average grade of 11.92 g/t Au and 6.3 million ounces of inferred gold resources at an average grade of 12.93 g/t Au; (Source: Goldcorp - MD&A, for the year ended December 31, 2009). The Opinaca B property is located about 8 km southeast of the Eleonore property. The Opinaca A and B properties comprise 429 and 220 claims respectively covering 338 km2. Everton earned its 50% interest after completing exploration programs totalling $4,800,000 and cash payments totalling $540,000 over a 5-year period.
Commenting on the earn-in, Everton's President and CEO, Andre Audet said: "We are very pleased to have completed our second 50%earn-in during the second quarter. In March, we announced completing the earned interest from GlobeStar Mining Corporation in the Dominican Republic and we have now completed a significant milestone with the Opinaca earn-in in James Bay. We believe our strategy of establishing significant earned interests adjacent to established mineral deposits with well respected partners will provide ongoing benefit and value to Everton shareholders. Everton will be updating its plans in light of Goldcorp’s recent impressive progress at Eleonore. We're very encouraged about the prospects going forward."
Everton also hold 100% interest in the Wildcat project located adjacent to the Opinaca and Eleonore properties. The Wildcat project is comprised of eight different blocks totalling 755 claims for 395 km2. Exploration work conducted to date by Everton led to the discovery of the Inex Extension gold zone, which is located on trend with the Inex prospect along a 2.8 km long gold corridor, and the Manuel gold prospect which returned 12.0 g/t Au over 4.6 m in a channel sampling.
