Yanamina Gold-Silver Project Update, Peru
Highlights:
EVR is reviewing its’ 100% owned Yanamina Gold and Silver project in Ancash State, Peru, against a backdrop of substantially improved gold and silver prices, approaches from prospective buyers and expressions of community support.
EVR will continue an internal review concurrently with discussions with prospective buyers and investors, and expects the review to be concluded in the first quarter of 2025.
Yanamina has a Maiden Resource Estimate[1] of 6,742,260 tonnes @ 1.23g/t gold and 4.31 g/t silver for 265,987 ounces of contained gold, and 934,528 ounces of contained silver in Indicated and Inferred Resources, confirming the Yanamina Gold Project as a significant bulk mining development opportunity with strong economic potential.
| Resources | Tonnes | Au(g/t) | Ag (g/t) | Total ozs(Au) | Total ozs (Ag) |
| Indicated | 2,790,620 | 1.35 | 4.34 | 121,136 | 389,431 |
| Inferred | 3,951,640 | 1.14 | 4.29 | 144,851 | 545,097 |
| Total/average | 6,742,260 | 1.23 | 4.31 | 265,987 | 934,528 |
(0.5 g/t cut-off)
The review to date has highlighted a significant exploration target in the down faulted hanging wall that bounds the upper part of the resource. The large majority of the resource outcrops or sub outcrops indicate the potential for a low strip (waste: ore) ratio of around one times.

EV Resources Limited ( ASX:EVR ) (“ EVR ”, the “ Company ”) is pleased to announce the Company has been approached by parties expressing an interest in EVR’s Yanamina Gold and Silver project located in north- central Peru in the Department of Ancash, province of Huaylas, District of Caraz, and approximately 16km east of the town of Caraz.
As a result, EVR has commissioned a review following these approaches from prospective buyers for the project against a backdrop of significant rises in gold and silver prices, and expressions of support from the local community.
Yanamina is a bulk, open pit gold and silver target that has declared a Maiden Resource Estimate and has a number of high quality drill targets for resource growth.
The total Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource has been estimated in accordance with the guidelines set out by the JORC Code (2012). The estimated total resources at the lower cut-off grade of 0.5g/t gold (“ Au ”) are 6,742,260 tonnes @ 1.23g/t gold and 4.31 g/t silver for 265,987 ounces of contained gold, and 934,528 ounces of contained silver (“ Ag ”), confirming Yanamina as a significant bulk mining development opportunity with strong economic potential.
JORC (2012) Resource Estimate

Physiography and Climate
Yanamina lies on the western flank of the Cordillera Blanca, in the northcentral section part of the Western Cordillera at an altitude of between 3200-3700 metres. Caraz is situated at 2,500 metres and the mountains to the east of the project rise to 6,000 metres.
In the project area topography is steep with hillsides between 38-45 degrees in gradient. The local vegetation consists of brush and cactus, which is indicative of a semiarid environment.
Mining Concessions
The Yanamina gold project is held through 5 mining concessions, Malu I, II, III, Monica T and Gladys E, with a total area of 918.66 hectares. The main concession, Malu I, which covers the Yanamina resource, has an area of 224 hectares and lies within the “buffer zone” adjacent to and around the Huascaran National Park.

Exploration Potential
==> picture [474 x 394] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 2: Exploration Targets
The work carried out for the maiden JORC 2012 Resource Estimation highlighted a number of areas at Yanamina which show potential for additional mineralization, both as an extension to, but also proximal to the existing resource. As a result of the extensive and important surface alteration within the mineralised zone, a number of these target areas can be initially explored geologically to determine their potential.
An additional exploration target which remains open is the potential faulted extension

to the existing Yanamina resource. The Yanamina resource is located on a fault scarp and there is sound geological evidence that the top of the resource has been removed by faulting. How substantial the “missing” top of the resource is unknown but it presents a simple exploration target with possible significant exploration upside. The exploration targets are shown in Figures 2 &3.

Next Steps
EVR will continue an internal review concurrently with discussions wit prospective buyers and investors. This review will be concluded in the first quarter of 2025 and directors expect to report back to shareholders at this time on the future strategy for realising value for this asset.
