ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

29[th] September 2023

High-Grade Sampling Results from the la Cienaga Copper-Gold Project

Highlights:

  • EVR completed a systematic sampling program at the la Cienaga CopperGold Project.

  • Average values from a total of 119 samples assayed at 0.88% Cu, 2.51g/t Au, 5.61g/t Ag.

  • In the Eagle Zone, sample #1844128 returned the highest-grade gold assay

o 83.87g/t Au, 2.9% Cu, 7.7g/t Ag

  • Further detailed mapping and sampling including trenching will be completed and results will be used for drill target evaluation.

  • The New Standard claims pegged in 2021, have been rationalised to focus attention on a strong structural anomaly.

EV Resources Limited (ASX: EVR) (“ EVR ”, or “ the Company ”) is pleased to announce that it has completed an initial geological review of the la Cienaga copper-gold project within la Paz County, Arizona, USA.

The Project is located in the Buckskin Mountains of West-Central Arizona, and covers ground in the Cienaga sub-district which accounts for 85% of all the gold produced from the Buckskin District, although no mining has occurred since the 1920s. This follows the consolidation of the ground position at the New Standard project (See ASX announcement of 10[th] May 2023 “New Standard Project Land Position Consolidated”).

The dominant mineralisation of the Buckskin District is related to a regional burial event caused by tectonic over-plating. The Buckskins experienced a regional MVT-style mineralisation event in which Iron-Oxide/Copper mineralisation has emplaced along stratigraphic controls within the Paleozoic Sedimentary Rocks. Subsequent extension and rifting have affected the area. A distinctive feature of the Eagle Zone is vertical sedimentary formations which host mineralisation

Eagle Zone – Maiden Exploration Programme

The recently pegged Eagle Zone (See Map 1, above and for more detail Map 2, below) has returned excellent sampling results. For a full list of Sample Results see Table 1, below.

The Eagle Zone contains numerous old mine workings and more than 4,000m of underground workings are noted in State and County records. Many of the underground developments were completed prior to 1910 and minimal reporting exists. The historic mining in the Eagle Zone is concentrated within the craggy peaks and outcrops of the Double Eagle Shaft and Gray Eagle Shaft. Historic records, maps, and sections are being integrated into a working 3D model. There are numerous existing access roads and only minor rehabilitation will be required to mobilize drilling operations.

In the Eagle Zone, copper-oxide mineralisation occurs in conjunction with massive hematite, hematite-breccia, and local mushketovite (hydrothermal magnetite). Copper-Oxide species are more advanced and include malachite, chrysocolla, azurite, brochanthite and others. Later emplacement of sub-vertical volcanics is along trend with the vertical sedimentary rocks and west of a 100m-thick Tertiary basalt flow. The historic mining area is focused on mineralised contacts of the sedimentary sequence. Numerous vein trends extend to the southwest, a basement detachment fault has also been observed nearby.

The exposed portion of this zone presents as a block of highly mineralised (iron-oxide/copperoxide) paleozoic carbonates and siliciclastic sediments that have been rotated to a sub-vertical orientation. More than 5km of structurally controlled quartz vein mineralisation has been identified along this trend.

New Standard Zone – Revisited and Refocused

The New Standard Project Area was visited during the summer field season. Access from Parker, AZ is 15 miles by paved and dirt road. Previous sampling of the project in 2022 was made available to Mineoro by EV Resources, this information was used to supplement a complete geologic reconnaissance.

The New Standard Project can be broken into the East and West, divided by the Central Arizona Project Water Canal. The East half was visited briefly and had been previously mapped and sampled in 2022. Mineralisation observed in the East Half is hosted in carbonates, Iron-Oxides and Copper-Oxides is patchy and discontinuous, although concentrated along stratigraphic controls. This land position has been dropped, to focus exploration on the West Half - auriferous mineralisation here is related to both low-angle structural zones and sub-vertical structures which host volcanic-related mineralisation.

Forward Looking Statement

Forward Looking Statements regarding EVR´s plans with respect to its mineral properties and programs are forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance that EVR’s plans for development of its mineral properties will proceed as currently expected. There can also be no assurance that EVR will be able to confirm the presence of additional mineral resources, that any mineralisation will prove to be economic or that a mine will successfully be developed on any of EVR’s mineral properties. The performance of EVR may be influenced by a number of factors which are outside the control of the Company and its Directors, staff, and contractors. These statements include, but are not limited to statements regarding future production, resources or reserves and exploration results. All of such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond the control of the company, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: (i) those relating to the interpretation of drill results, the geology, grade and continuity of mineral deposits and conclusions of economic evaluations, (ii) risks relating to possible variations in reserves, grade, planned mining dilution and ore loss, or recovery rates and changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined, (iii) the potential for delays in exploration or development activities or the completion of feasibility studies, (iv) risks related to commodity price and foreign exchange rate fluctuations, (v) risks related to failure to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis and on acceptable terms or delays in obtaining governmental approvals or in the completion of development or construction activities, and (vi) other risks and uncertainties related to the company’s prospects, properties and business strategy. Our audience is cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements that

JORC CODE, 2012 EDITION – TABLE 1 REPORT TEMPLATE

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random
chips, or specific specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should
not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are
Material to the Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done
this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation
drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg
was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In
other cases more explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types
(eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed
information.
•A total of 119 rock chip, channel samples, and ore characterisation
samples were collected from outcrops and accessible mine
development. This is in addition to 190 surface geochem samples
from previous efforts (refer announcements dated 15thMarch 2022
and 15thSeptember 2022).
•All, of the 119 samples taken from this project are rock chip derived
either directly from exposures or from extant dumps (or composites of
the two).
•Samples were collected to be representative of the outcrop; typical
sample mass was 1-3 kilograms; the mass of samples collected
ranged from a low of 0.16 kg to a maximum of 4.6 kg with an average
mass was 1.6 kg. The samples were collected for laboratory analysis
and no analytical instruments were used in the field.
•Sample locations targeted visible mineralisation, alteration, and
structural features of interest.
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer,
rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg
core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond
tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is
oriented and if so, by what method, etc).
•Some drilling was noted on the property but no information is
available from this work.
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample
recoveries and results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery
and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred
due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
•No drilling data is available for the property.

Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in-situ material collected, including
for instance results for field duplicate/second-half
sampling.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of
the material being sampled.
•Surficial samples were taken from dry outcrops and not split in the
field.
•Samples were shipped via Fedex to American Assay Laboratories
(AAL) in Sparks, Nevada, USA for sample preparation.
•Sample preparation techniques in pv-1 procedure, which includes:
o
Crush to 70% passing 2 millimeters
o
Riffle split a 250 gram subsample
o
Pulverize 250 g to at least 85% passing 75 microns
•The sample preparation technique is designed to homogenize the
material for subsampling representative splits for gold fire assay and
whole-rock ICP analysis.
•Quality Assurance/ Quality Control procedures for assay data include
insertion of certified gold and or copper standards, duplicates and
blank samples of crushed marble.
•Certified standards were inserted into the sample stream as one
certified standard (pulp) and one blank (either certified pulp or
uncertified coarse material) approximately every twenty samples.
•Certified standards and blanks originate from Ore Research and
Exploration, Bayswater North, Victoria, Australia or KLEN
International Pty Ltd. located in Neerabup, Western Australia.
•The coarse blank samples are landscape marble chips acquired from
a home improvement store. This material does not have certified
values for the elements of interest, but it is expected to have low
abundance of gold, silver, and copper compared to the surface
samples that target mineralisation. The coarse blank samples will go

through the same sample preparation process as the surface
samples. Any cross contamination from sample preparation
equipment will be evident in the results of the blank samples.
•In addition to standards and blanks included within the submitted
samples, AAL inserted internal blanks and standards during the
execution of the assaying program.
•In the field, discrete features with consistent mineralogy were targeted
to collect representative samples.
•Silicification, structural controls, and altered volcanic rocks were
sampled in addition to the Iron-Oxide/Copper-Oxide mineralisation of
historic mining activities. Neither gold, nor silver were visible in hand
sample. Sample sizes are considered appropriate for the style of
mineralisation
Quality of

The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying
and laboratory procedures used and whether the
technique is considered partial or total.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF
instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the
analysis including instrument make and model, reading
times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.
Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg
standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks)
and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias)
and precision have been established.
•Analytical methods selected are gold fire assay and Inductively
Coupled Plasma (ICP) with fiver-acid digestion ((hydrochloric,
hydrofluoric, perchloric, nitric and sulphuric) followed by an by ICP-
OES. AAL method code FA-ICP to determine gold via fire assay and
ICP- Atomic Emissions Spectrometry (ICP-AES) on a 30-gram
charge. Gold results from this technique are considered total.
•AAL method code IO-4AB51 to determine whole-rock composition via
ICP-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) on a 0.25-gram charge after
digestion with nitric, sulphuric, perchloric, hydrofluoric, and
hydrochloric acids. Silver, copper, and iron results from ICP-OES are
considered total. Refractory minerals, like barite and rutile, may not be
fully digested, and therefore, barium and titanium results may be
partial. Tin and tungsten minerals and rare earth oxides may not be
fully digested.
•No analytical tools, like handheld XRF instruments or portable
spectrometers, were used in the field.
•Quality Assurance/ Quality Control procedures for assay data include
reference samples of known composition.
•The Certified Reference Material (CRM) samples are prepared pulp
samples of OREAS and KLEN laboratory standards. Results from
these samples will be compared to the certified values to determine if
an analytical bias exists.

•No drilling samples were available for verification.
Location of

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes
(collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings
and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.
Specification of the grid system used.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
•Surface sample locations were determined in either Universal
Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates using North American Datum
1983 (NAD 83) or World Geodetic System (WGS84).
•Sample locations were measured with a Garmin GPSMAP 64sx
handheld GPS unit with 3-meter horizontal accuracy. These data
were later refined using Google Earth to identify exact locations from
aerial images available on that site; 3D coordinates (WGS84 Latitude
and Longitude decimal degrees) were then determined for each site
and recorded in the project database.
•Sample locations were registered to the topographic surface
generated from 10-meter elevation contours from the United States
Geological Survey (USGS) Digital Elevation Models (DEM) to obtain
elevations.
•The resolution of the DEM is limited but is adequate for this early-
stage exploration study.
•Mine workings and mineralised outcrops were sampled if accessible.
Surface sample locations were determined by distribution of
mineralisation, as well as historic prospects and mines. Coordinates
of drill collars, that had not been reclaimed, were located via handheld
GPS, decline and azimuth (True North) determined via magnetic
Brunton pocket compass (± 0.5o accuracy).
Data spacing

distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.
Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to
establish the degree of geological and grade continuity
appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve
estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.
Whether sample compositing has been applied.
•Mineralised exposures were sampled, where accessible and not
based on any spacing protocols. The distribution of historic prospects,
mines and surface mineralisation within the Project area is randomly
spaced.
•Workings are spaced at random intervals.
•The sampling discussed here is reconnaissance in nature only. No
definition of“ore”or resources can be inferred.

•Compositing has not been applied to surface samples.
Orientation of
data in
relation to
geological
structure
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased
sampling of possible structures and the extent to which
this is known, considering the deposit type.
If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the
orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to
have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed
and reported if material.
•Samples were predominantly taken on mineralised structures;
perpendicular where thickness warranted, otherwise laterally along
strike or as random sampling of material on the dumps.
•The surficial samples do not have an orientation relative to
mineralised structures, as drillhole samples would.
•Because sample locations were selected to characterize mineralised
material, there is an inherent sampling bias introduced from the
sampling technique.
Sample
security
The measures taken to ensure sample security. •Samples collected on site remained in the custody of EV Resources
contract geologist until they were delivered to the laboratory for
preparation and analysis.
Audits or

The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.
•No audits have been completed for the 2022-2023 surface sampling

•Results from the 2022-2023 sampling program will be compared to
results previously reported for the property.

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other
parties.
•The current owner of the Project completed a field survey and confidential
report in early 2021. Gold, silver, and copper values reported for surface
samples will be compared to the analytical results from the field
investigation completed by EV Resources in a qualitative manner.
•Documentation of exploration work completed on nearby claims, which
are no longer active, states that a magnetometer survey was completed.
The results of the survey and the area of interest are not known but could
potentially be acquired.
•Drill sites have been located in various areas of the project; but it is
unknown as to when or who was responsible for this work.
•Historic documentation indicates mining and other activities took place in
this area in the early part of the 20th century (World War I era). Much of
the prospecting looks to have been completed at this time as well.
•Mining, milling and cat work was completed in the vicinity of the Pride
mine through the 1960’s. No documentation of this work has yet been
located.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. •Iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) mineralization is developed along low-
angle detachment and mid to high angle structures associated with basin

Drill hole
Information
A summary of all information material to the understanding
of the exploration results including a tabulation of the
following information for all Material drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea
level in metres) of the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis
that the information is not Material and this exclusion does
not detract from the understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the
case.
•Although old drilling has been identified in the form of open holes and
cuttings, there is no drilling documentation available for the Project.
Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging
techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations
(e.g., cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually
Material and should be stated.
•All geochemical results are based on biased surface sampling.
•Grade determinations are the results of this sampling and, at this point in
the program, will serve as little more than a guide to focusing additional
exploration efforts moving forward.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of
high-grade results and longer lengths of low-grade results,
the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated
and some typical examples of such aggregations should
be shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly important in the
reporting of Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the
drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are
reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect
(eg‘down hole length, true width not known’).
•No drilling samples are available for the Project.
•The surficial samples collected do not have a length attributed to them.
They represent the feature of interest; the width of each feature is
included in the sample description.
•Structural orientation data were collected at most surficial sample
locations.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and
tabulations of intercepts should be included for any
significant discovery being reported. These should include,
but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations
and appropriate sectional views.
•N.A.
Balanced
reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results
is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and
high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid
misleading reporting of Exploration Results.
•Analytical results for surficial samples were not available at the time this
report was finalized. The range of grades was unknown.
•Mineralized features are structurally controlled and range in width from 0.1
to 15 meters.
Other
substantive
exploration
data
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should
be reported including (but not limited to): geological
observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical
survey results; bulk samples – size and method of
treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density,
groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics;
potential deleterious or contaminating substances.
•All available and reliable exploration data have been presented above.
Results from previous investigations have not been presented, due to
incomplete information and uncertainty in the data collection process,
including sample location, sampling technique, and analytical practices.
Further work The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for
lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-
out drilling).
Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible
extensions, including the main geological interpretations
and future drilling areas, provided this information is not
commercially sensitive.
•Future exploration work should include geophysical survey methods,
namely magnetics; induced polarization and resistivity surveys may also
prove beneficial.
•Targets for exploration drilling may be developed with surficial geology
data and results of geophysical surveys, if available.
•Geophysical surveys can provide data to reduce the risk and maximize
the value of exploration drilling.
