Parag Project – High Grade Copper-Molybdenum
•
EVR holds 70% of the Parag project, and the original owner retains a
30% free carried interest to a Bankable Feasibility Study, with a non
diluted interest of 12% at production.
•
76 Diamond Core holes have been drilled in Parag. We have the drill
core for 10,170 metres (21 holes).
•
Mineralization at Parag/Viento project is hosted in different lithological
units including different types of breccia, hornfels and in felsic
igneous bodies.
•
High-grade Cu-Mo mineralization is hosted in breccia bodies that is
evident from the surface and tested in areas by drilling.
•
Identified porphyry mineralization includes:
•
Rounded fragments of felsic igneous rock with porphyritic texture in
matrix supported breccia with Mo cementing, with quartz-sericite
alteration and type A/B veins with chalcopyrite and bornite that
suggests the presence of a porphyry mineralized body at depth.

Major Mining Groups View The Region As Highly Prospective

Parag is surrounded by major
mining groups drawn to the
cluster of porphyry orebodies
in a largely unexplored region
of recent focus.

EVR has initiated discussions
with their counterparts to
attain a better understanding
of the prospectivity of
neighbouring permits and the
potential impact, if any,

-
During Q3, EVR’s team reviewed core, did additional mapping of the project and reevaluated the previous data and model for Parag, and EVR is now planning its next programme around the assumption of a mineralised porphyry system below the shallow high grade and partially drilled breccia zone.

• The focus remains on a strategy of moving quickly towards defining a shallow resource on the breccia zone whilst developing a deeper, longer-term,

Based on 18,470m of historical drilling (76 Holes), and a reinterpretation of this and other geological data, EVR has expanded its original drill campaign.

Exceptional Grades Warrant Further Exploration
==> picture [581 x 301] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [581 x 165] intentionally omitted <==
The revised geological model reflects the impact of exceptionally high molybdenum grades which is to raise the grade of ore on a copper equivalent basis. Molybdenum will provide substantial by-product credits that reduce the costs of copper production, At left, see selected historical drill holes in a table that shows copper equivalent assays, calculated and based on the average value of the Mo/Cu ratio for prices recorded on April 30th and October 26[th ] 2023

•
Photographs of selected samples from these holes are shown in the following slides for illustrative purposes of the geology encountered in logging, sampling and assaying

Note: The figures are generated with Cu Eq (Copper Equivalent) values calculated based on the average of the Mo/Cu ratio calculated on April 30[th ] and October 26[th ] 2023 (6.365:1). The ratio is subject to variance with the relative prices of the commodity and no prediction is made as to future pricing

worlds largest producer, with 40% of the market supply.
- Molybdenum is priced on the London Metals Exchange.
• Declining grades at aging mines in the Americas come at a time of steadily growing demand. Usually, the grade of Molybdenum in copper orebodies is 0.01-0.025%, and Mo is separated to a concentrate in the flotation circuit.
• Molybdenum has a very high melting point, which enables it to form strong, stable carbon compounds in alloys such as ultra-strong steel with resistance to corrosion and wear, used in missile and aircraft parts, nuclear reactor condenser tubes, engines, heating elements, drills and saw
• Molybdenum is a critical mineral required for a range of low-carbon technologies, especially wind and geothermal.
“The greatest share of demand for molybdenum from electricity generation and energy storage technologies comes from wind (47.3 percent) and geothermal (41.7 percent), with all the other generation and energy storage technologies together accounting for only a small share (11 percent),” according to a World Bank report.
