ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 25[th] March 2024

332 Metres Drilled from Near Surface at 1.36% Copper Equivalent at Parag in Peru

Highlights:

  • Hole APG-DDH-001 at Parag has assayed 332 metres at 1.36% CuEq Copper (Equivalent) from 3.2m.

  • This includes intersections of

  • 44 metres grading 2.18% CuEq, from 3.2 metres to 47.2 metres.

    • Including an intersection of 24 metres at 2.94% CuEq from 7.2m to 31.2m.
  • 86 metres grading 2.14% CuEq from 56.2 metres to 141.2 metres.

  • 50 metres grading 1.58% CuEq from 209.2 metres to 259.2 metres.

  • Assays are awaited on the remaining 144 metres of the hole which was drilled to a depth of 479.4 metres.

  • 7 diamond drill holes totalling 1980 metres were drilled in this maiden drill campaign, with drilling to resume in May after the end of the wet season.

EV Resources Limited (ASX:EVR or “EVR”) is pleased to announce and provide first results from its first hole drilled (APG-DDH-001) at the high grade Parag coppermolybdenum project in Peru. Assays reported here are for core drilled on the La Trinchera Este breccia (see Figure 1), and additional assays are awaited from the laboratory (CERTIMIN) for the remaining 144.4 metres of the hole.

The initial assays from the Company's flagship Peruvian Cu-Mo project further strengthen the board's view that Parag is an exciting project with unusually high grades of ore from surface.

In addition to specific high grade intersections included in the assays, the current exploration program was designed to include the first systematic drilling plan focused

evresources.com.au 311-313 Hay St Subiaco, Western Australia 6008 [email protected]

on defining breccia geometry, and its relationship with the copper-molybdenum porphyry type system interpreted to lie at depth.

Significantly, the initial assays contribute towards supporting this thesis, and these positive results support the board’s decision for drilling to resume in May following the end of the region’s wet season.

Hugh Callaghan, Managing Director of EVR said “The high grade intersections substantiate Parag’s status as the Company’s flagship project. More importantly, delivering these high grades over the length of the intersections reported from near surface is very exciting as it supports our geological model and warrants further exploration and drilling”.

Mr Callaghan said the higher copper grades and higher copper-molybdenum ratios recorded at intersections at depth were consistent with the Company’s view of the potential for a deeper lying porphyry orebody below the zone of high grade breccia structures.

The Parag Drill Programme

The drilling campaign is focused on validating historic holes and exploring new areas of an extensive breccia system. The campaign will, additionally, define the geometry of the mineralized breccia bodies.

The assays received to date on Hole APG-DDH-001 show the presence of Cu-Mo mineralization in the breccia body of the Trinchera Este sector, confirming historical sampling, and demonstrating consistent copper and molybdenum grades.

Figure 1: Plan view of location of breccia bodies

==> picture [457 x 363] intentionally omitted <==

The recent assays received have confirmed historical information. Mineralization lies shallow, and was intercepted from a depth of 3.2 m.

Geological Description

The mineralization is mainly confined in a series of breccias that begin near surface, a crackled breccia and monomictic hydrothermal breccia with strongly silicified hornfels fragments superimposed on strong chloritization.

This is followed by matrix supported polymictic breccia with subrounded fragments of intrusives altered to silica-sericite and fragments of silicified horfels, quartz veins cut the breccia.

Chalcopyrite is frequently found in veins and patches or filling open spaces and molybdenite in the matrix or filling open spaces. Zn mineralization occurs locally with the presence of sphalerite and Pb galena mineralization occurs sporadically.

==> picture [450 x 375] intentionally omitted <==

The current program represents the first systematic drilling plan focused on defining breccia geometry, and its relationship with the Cu-Mo porphyry type system interpreted to lie at depth.

Mineralization at Parag appears consistent as high-grade combined Cu and Mo within a porphyry-type system. The mineralization found and the quartz textures including type A and B veins support this concept.

In addition, the alteration assemblages of quartz-sericite, presence of secondary biotite and propylitic alteration in addition to a strong pervasive silica content provide further evidence of a porphyry setting.

==> picture [378 x 416] intentionally omitted <==

Core Management: Core sections extracted every 1.5 metres. Once extracted from the inner tube, the core is extracted on a metal rail, expelling it with water pressure, the runs, recovery, and total meters drilled are marked on plastic blocks. The cores are deposited in hard plastic boxes with plastic lids, 4-lane boxes, quick logging is carried out on site, then the boxes are secured with plastic straps tensioned with special equipment.

Chain of Security or Custody : A representative of the company (EV Resources) is always at the drill platform. A geologist or duly trained assistant receives the duly marked boxes. After completing the quick logging, these are secured and deposited in the bed of a 4x4 truck and transported to the core shack in the town of Huacho 176 km approx. from the project. The boxes are received in deposit and stored with appropriate security measures.

evresources.com.au 311-313 Hay St Subiaco, Western Australia 6008 [email protected]

Core Logging : In the core shack, the logging process is undertaken, including: alteration, lithology, mineralization, RQD and structures. The sampling intervals are previously marked. Sampling is carried out every two (2) meters if a structure greater than 50 cm is found. This is sampled separately and continues with sampling every two meters. The boxes are photographed with their proper information, name, interval, number of boxes, see Figure 6.

.

Figure 6: Logging and sampling in coreshack

==> picture [461 x 210] intentionally omitted <==

Cutting : An electric disc saw is used to split cores, the cutting line along the axis core is defined by the geologist, half of the core is sampled, the highly fractured areas are wrapped with transparent packaging tape prior to making the cut, in order not to lose material.

Sampling : Sampling is always supervised by a geologist. Sampling every two meters, if a mineralized structure is present, a vein of quartz or sulphides, etc. that exceeds 50 cm. This is sampled separately. The weight of the sample is approximately 7 kg. The sampling bags are previously marked with an indelible marker on the mouth of the bag and on the base of the sampling bag.

The sample is inserted into resistant plastic bags, the label is included at the top without coming into contact with the sampled material and the bag is sealed with a plastic clamp, 4 samples are inserted into polypropylene bags and sealed with plastic clamps. and the bag is labeled with the included samples in addition to listing the bags to be transported.

The samples are periodically moved from the town of Huacho to Lima city, to Laboratory facilities, a transportation guide is generated with details of the transported material. A company staff is in charge of delivering the samples to the laboratory. In the laboratory, personnel receive the samples along with a guide and analysis instructions. Every time, a document is signed where the details of the personnel who delivers, who receives, date and time are filled out.

evresources.com.au 311-313 Hay St Subiaco, Western Australia 6008 [email protected]

Quality Control QAQC : The insertion of control samples is 16%, standard samples (Oreas) are included, three types of samples of high, low, and intermediate Cu and Mo grades. Blank samples from the White Quartz quarry Prepared by Minex Productos, and samples of coarse duplicates of rejects and fines are inserted .

Analysis Company/Laboratory : CERTIMIN (www.certimin.pe), Lima Headquarters: Av.Las Vegas 845, San Juan de Miraflores Industrial Zone-Lima-Peru.

Sample preparation in the laboratory followed the following sequence, drying at 60º, crushed at 90% through 10#ASTM mesh (2mm), cracked and pulverized 250 g, at 85% through 200#ASTM mesh (75um) Up to 5 Kg sample.

It was analyzed for Au by fire assay test AAS Nominal 30 g, code GO108.

Samples were analyzed with a combination of ICPMS and ICPOES for 50 elements with multi-acid digestion.

Next Steps

Assays from the remaining 147 metres of Hole APG-DDH-001 and the other holes will be released in sequence as and when they are available.

EVR’s geologists are carefully logging and modelling the core, and drilling will resume in May, when the wet season has passed, and drilling and core transport will be quicker and safer.

Hugh Callaghan said “We are delighted to be able to report to shareholders that the result from this initial portion of our first drill hole supports our view that Parag is an exciting project, with unusually high grades of ore from near surface. We look forward to the release of additional assay results which are expected over the coming weeks”.
