REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Exploration Commenced at the Don Enrique Copper Project (EVR 50% Interest)

During the quarter, EVR commenced exploration at the Don Enrique Copper Project in Peru after extensive engagement with the nearby communities, who are also contributing labour to the Project. The Company’s community team have been in constant dialogue with them to establish a lasting relationship based on respect, trust, and co-operation[1] .

The Project consists of 4 licences covering 1,800Ha, in an area 21km northeast of Jauja, and approximately 260km from the Nation’s capital, Lima. The Project is currently owned by EVR’s 50% owned subsidiary, Minera Montserrat SAC. EVR holds a 2-year option to purchase the remaining 50% of Minera Montserrat SAC.

The exploration programme commenced with underground sampling in a series of 4 exploration crosscuts, which neatly allows evaluation of the 2 separate and parallel hydrothermal breccia orebodies estimated to vary between 5-20 metres in width, over a 1500 metre outcropping strike, and separated by an andesite parting typically 90 metres in width.

Photo 2. Panoramic View of Body 1 and Body 2, the separation between them is 90 metres. Each body has a length of 1.5km and a width of 5-20metres. The vertical extent is 300 metres.

It is in this crosscut, that historic grab sampling (verified by EVR’s geological team), had assayed up to 7.17% copper in Sample RDEN-1 (taken at E 459997, and N 8712314 using Datum WGS84).

Channel samples that are 2 metres in length are being collected with a manual rock cutter and diamond saw, supported by a small generator on site to recharge batteries. Conventional QA/QC controls are being employed by experienced geologists under the leadership of Mr Gonzalo Lemuz, a veteran geologist who has held leadership positions in major and junior companies with a focus on copper and gold.

Geophysics and Drill Permitting

A geophysical Exploration Programme employing IP (Induced Polarisation) and Magnetometry is planned to follow the sampling and select drilling targets. EVR has employed the services of Aquarum S.A.C, a specialist permitting consultancy, to prepare the drilling permits, and their team have been on site since August 2022 compiling baseline data for inclusion in the drill permit application planned to be submitted in Q4, 2022.

Exploration Potential

The highest values in rock chips occur in the underground samples, which raises the possibility that surface weathering may have leached metals and reduced the geochemical contrast for the surficial samples which represent most of the area. There is clear potential at Don Enrique for both of two possible scenarios:

  1. Underground mining of the silicified breccias themselves, with the potential for high grade epithermal pods in structurally controlled jogs; and

  2. A possible porphyry system at depth which is the fluid source. Because of the uplift rates often encountered in the Andes, it is often possible to find related porphyry and epithermal systems in relatively close proximity.

Further exploration including both geophysics and drilling, will be planned to investigate both possibilities.

Acquisition of Shaw River Lithium Project (EVR 80% Interest)

EV Resources agreed to terms to acquire the remaining 20% of E45/5849, “Shaw River”, held by Supergene Pty Ltd during the quarter. Upon completion, EVR will hold 100% of the Shaw River Project tenement. The acquisition consideration is 3,000,000 Ordinary EVR shares issued at $0.03 per share[2] .

The Shaw River Project, located 220km from Port Hedland and 70km from Marble Bar, comprises exploration license E45/5849 comprising 22 blocks. The tenement area has a strong history of successful mining of alluvial tin and tantalum as part of the Shaw River Tin Field and demonstrated potential for lithium and rare earth minerals.

3 ASX Announcement 23 December 2021 - Results Received for Shaw River Reconnaissance Sampling

The Company will assess the sites in upcoming field programs. The Shaw River Project complements the Company’s existing lithium assets located in Austria which are being collaboratively developed with European Lithium Limited (ASX:EUR).

Exploration at the Khartoum Tin-Silver-Tungsten Project (EVR 100% Interest)

During the quarter, EV Resources received rock chip results from fieldwork undertaken at various prospects within the Khartoum Tin-Silver-Tungsten Project, located in Northern Queensland. Several high-grade tin and base metal results were returned from rock chip samples collected in April and May from outcrop and historic mine workings including tin values from historic mines to 4.62% in the Brownville area, 5.02% in the Stannary Hills area and 1.53% in the California area.[4]

Additionally, high-grade base metal results returned values of 4.66% Cu, 24.4% Zn, 4.62% W, 211ppm Ag, 196ppm in (Brownville) and 3.69% Pb (Stannary Hills). EVR’s exploration team is conducting follow-up detailed mapping and further geochemical sampling in several areas where surface alteration and high-grade rock chip results indicate potential for economic mineralisation.[4]

The Company also received results from the initial RC drilling campaign for the Boulder Prospect area, comprising 23 holes for 2781 metres. Results were from several areas at shallow depths, and the tin mineralisation targeted in the Boulder area was granite-greisen-hosted bulk tonnage zones that have lower grades than the structurally controlled quartz vein-hosted mineralisation found in areas such as Stannary Hills.[5]

The historic Adelaide workings comprise of a linear zone of small pits and minor underground workings reaching 250 metres of surface extent. A previous hole 40m north of BARC0002 intersected 3m at 0.24% Sn . Drilling was completed at the northern extent of the workings, with the southern 150 metres remaining untested. The BARC0002 result indicates the tenor of tin mineralisation may improve to the south.

  • BARC0002: 7m at 0.54% Sn from 33m, including 2m at 1.46% Sn from 36m .

4 ASX Announcement 12 July 2022 - Reconnaissance rock chip results received, and drilling completed at Khartoum Project

5 ASX Announcement 12 September 2022 – Broad Tin-Zones from Drilling at the Khartoum Tin-Tungsten Project

Holes BARC0003, BARC004 and BARC0013 were completed to test a previous drill intersection of 30m at 0.28% Sn . BARC0004, drilled below the previous hole, intersected mineralisation at a similar depth to that previously encountered, indicating a flat-lying zone rather than a west-dipping zone as initially interpreted.

  • BARC0004 : 31m at 0.26% Sn from 90m.

The Mary Ann workings comprise a linear zone of small pits over 150 metre strike extent. A single drill hole had previously been undertaken to test quartz veined greisen outcrop to the north of the workings, returning 23m at 0.14% Sn. EVR completed three holes designed to test the depth and strike extent of mineralisation encountered in a previous drill hole. The holes were drilled 40 metres north, south and below the earlier drill hole (see Figure 2).

  • BARC0018 : 18m at 0.22% Sn from 22m, and 2m at 0.27% Sn from 59m.

  • BARC0019: 62m at 0.18% Sn from 23m, including 8m at 0.32% Sn from 40m and 5m at 0.71% Sn from 79m.

  • BARC0020: 15m at 0.19% Sn from 34m, and 5m at 0.15% Sn from 60m.

Tungsten Exploration Geochemistry

EVR also commenced reconnaissance fieldwork in areas of historic tungsten mines to determine the potential for economic tungsten mineralisation within the Khartoum Project. There appears to be a distinct association between tungsten occurrence and the periphery of the Black Prince Granite (Figure 3). EVR collected 65 samples in areas of historic tungsten mines. Sampling at the historic Fingertown mine returned encouraging tungsten values with results from the main working averaging

0.68% W to a maximum of 2.01% W and a sample of quartz material with visible wolframite located within a trench 200m west of the cutting returning 0.68% W. Subsequent sampling at other prospects returned values to 2.03% W at Gauntlet, 0.84% at Fingertown West, 1.0% W at Gows and 1.06% W at Geebung. Sampling at Geebung also returned a number of high tin values to 3.96% Sn. Further sampling has been undertaken and results are pending.

Boulder Area Geochemistry

The linear trend of pits at Mary Ann, along strike and south of the outcrop tested by RC drilling (BARC0018 – 18m at 0.22% Sn, BARC0019 – 62m at 0.18% Sn, BARC0020 – 15m at 0.19% Sn), was sampled to determine whether mineralisation extends to the south. Seven samples (KRC000330 – 000336) of mullock and vein material were collected from the historic pits. Of the three mullock samples collected one sample returned an elevated value of 0.10% Sn. Three of the four in situ vein samples returned elevated values of 0.27% Sn, 0.49% Sn and 0.28% Sn. Elevated multielement values were to 12.3ppm Ag and 0.60% As, a similar association to the elevated values returned from RC drilling. Based on previously reported drilling intersections and results of sampling of historic mines to the south, the Mary Jane mineralised trend has potential to extend for at least 400m strike. Drilling has been planned to test strike extensions at Mary Ann.[6]

Exploration of Austrian Lithium Satellite Projects (“Eastern Alps Lithium Project”) (EVR 80% interest)

In September 2022, EVR received sampling results from various prospects within the Eastern Alps Lithium Satellite Projects (located in Austria) held by EV Resources GmbH, which is owned 80% by the Company and 20% by European Lithium Limited (ASX:EUR)[7] .

Following initial and encouraging assay results returning high-grade Lithium (Li2O) values in 2019[8] ,EV Resources GmbH engaged technical consultants for a mapping and rock chip sampling campaign to define trenching and drilling targets in selected Austrian satellite lithium exploration projects. These project areas in the south and southeast of Austria are Millstätter Seerücken (Edling, Kreuzstein, Lugins-Land in Carinthia province), St. Radegund (Garrach, Ehrenfels, Rabnitzberg in Styria province) and Defereggen Valley (Ratzell, Glanzalm, Poling in the Tirol province) (Figure 4).

The Company’s technical consultant collected 39 rock chip samples from numerous outcropping pegmatites. Pegmatite outcrop sample results returned high-grade Li2O values with a highest value returning 3.24 % Li2O and an average value over mineralised samples (samples with grades < 0.1 % Li2O excluded) being 1.65 % Li2O . The fieldwork also included the recording of structural planes and the mapping of host rock to assist in locating potential drill sites.

Wolfsberg are the geological template model for the Millstätter Seerücken area because they have the same host rock, similar mineral paragenesis, same geodynamic setting, common origin of pegmatites, and geological history. Recent fieldwork has identified two individual veins have been identified with a thickness of around 2 up to 5 m, most likely striking around 4 km W-E (Figure 5), comparable with the Wolfsberg area.

Several drillholes have been designed to verify the veins in depth and continuity. The process for drill permitting is underway and a community engagement and liaision executive has been retained to help expedite discussions with landowners. The Millstätter Seerücken area will be extended by 27 additional exploration licences with an area of 12.27 km[2] , and the total area under licence is now 16.05 km².

Garrach Exploration Results

Assays from Garrach have Li2O contents up to 2.38% and an average for mineralised pegmatites of 1.53%. Two vertical drill holes for the area of Garrach will be permitted in due course, to check the lateral continuity of the spodumene pegmatite veins to the south. The exploration area will be extended by six additional exploration licences covering 2.63 km² to 3.17 km² in total for St. Radegund area, although a portion of these new licences as shown in Figure 6, overlaps another licence holder with a primary right to the area shown in red hatching.

Other Licences

Several high-grade assays were obtained from sampling on other licences held by EVR, although these are considered lower priority due to a combination of steep topography, and accessibility.

Assays show Li2O grades up to 2.29% and an average of 1.36% for mineralised in the Rabnitzberg area. In the Ratzell area, Li2O content was assayed as high as 1.86% with an average of 1.67% for mineralised samples. Glanzalm samples have provided grades up to 2.89 % Li2O and an average of 1.84 %. Besides the high Li2O values. Assay results from the Poling area indicate Li2O values up to 2.26% within a boulder of currently unknown origin. One spodumene pegmatite outcrop has a grade of 1.6 %. No further exploration work is currently planned in these areas.

Extension of Option & Exploration at Christina Tin-Tungsten Project (EVR acquiring 100% interest)

During the quarter, EVR reported that the Company had extended the exclusive three (3) month option to acquire the Christina Tin-Tungsten Project (“Christina” or “the Project”), located in Morocco to the granting of an exploitation licence or 1st January 2023.[9] The Company had previously agreed to a three (3) month option in May 2022 to acquire the Project, to be paid in staged payments amounting to US$500,000 (refer ASX Announcement “EVR to Acquire Christina Tin-Tungsten Project in Morocco” dated 26 May 2022).

9 ASX Announcement 21 September 2022 - High Grade Samples Received from the Christina Tin-Tungsten Project

Subsequently, EVR has worked with Skiait Mining S.A (the 100% owner of Christina), to convert a portion of the 3 Exploration Licences covering 48km[2] to an Exploitation Licence. EVR and Skiait agreed to extend the option period to 1st January 2023, by which time the exploitation licence is expected to be approved.

Following the signing of the Option agreement on 25 May 2022, EVR mobilised a team of geologists to carry out extensive mapping and sampling on site. An initial eight samples were taken for due diligence purposes and a further 404 samples were taken over a widespread area (see Figure 4, below). The key purpose of the larger sampling programme is to assess the potential for Sn (Tin) – W (Tungsten) mineralisation outside of the known quartz veins.

Figure 7. Sample Locations at Christina

In September 2022, the Company received the results from the eight samples taken from selected locations on surface and underground at the Project. Three samples (EZ-06, EZ-07, EZ-08) were collected from the quartz veined material, both on old surface stockpiles and from underground and returned assays of up to 2.19% Sn (tin) and 44.2% WO3 (tungsten) which demonstrate a compelling exploration project. Other mineralogical samples taken from host granite revealed anomalous tin and tungsten grades. 100 further samples have been dispatched to ALS laboratories in Ireland.[10]

Sampling Update at New Standard Copper Project (EVR 33.3% Interest, 50.16Ha and 100% interest, 8.86Ha)

During the quarter, the Company announced it has completed a second sampling programme at the New Standard Project located in Arizona USA. EV Resources has an option to acquire 100% of 6 unpatented lode mining claims, covering an area of approximately 124 acres (50.16 Ha) and purchased an initial 33.33% share in the project in January 2022. Subsequently, EVR staked an additional 145 unpatented lode mining claims at 20.66 acres (8.86 Ha) each for a total project area of approximately 2,996 acres (1,254 Ha), all of which is on public lands (Figure 8).[11]

Assay results from the 130 samples collected from surface and accessible underground sources returned copper values ranging up to 13.1% Cu and averaging 1.61% Cu , whilst gold values returned up to 27.1 g/t, averaging 0.43 g/t . 7 of the samples taken were split into 3 separate assays with 144 assays recorded in total. The Company has also identified that much of the copper potential lies around the Old Pride Mine in the eastern half of the project area.

This second program followed the Company’s sampling campaign reported in March 2022 where 60 surface samples were taken from within the New Standard Claims and in untenured surrounding areas. The results from the initial campaign were promising with 26 of the 60 samples returning copper values greater than 1% to a maximum of 16.8% and 16 gold results greater than 0.1g/t gold to a maximum of 16.95g/t.[12]

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 nо assurance that EVR’s plans for development of its mineral properties will proceed as currently expected. Therе 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, that 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 speak only as of the date hereof, and we do not undertake any obligation to revise and disseminate forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof, or to reflect the occurrence of or non-occurrence of any events.

$10M Mint Finance Facility
The Company executed a Standby Placement Agreement (SPA) with US based Mint Capital Advisors
Ltd (Mint) for a financing facility of up to $10 million over a two year term.
The key terms of the Facility are summarised below.
  • EV Resources Limited (EVR) may elect at its sole discretion to drawdown funds in consideration for the issue of shares to Mint in accordance with the terms of the Facility.

  • • Any shares issued to Mint following a request for drawdown made by EVR will be issued at a price per share equal to 90% of the average of the 15 trading day daily VWAP of EVR’s shares as published by Bloomberg for the 15 trading days following the date of issue of EVR’s drawdown notification.

  • • The number of shares to be issued to Mint will be that number of shares equal to 5 times the average daily traded volume of shares on ASX for the 15 trading days following the date of issue of EVR’s drawdown notification to the total value of the drawdown requested by EVR.

  • • EVR may drawdown up to $300,000 per month (Maximum Drawdown) (or such larger amounts as agreed by the parties).

  • • EVR will only be able to drawdown funds if the issue price that is calculated on notification of the drawdown is above a floor price of $0.04 per share. No notification of a drawdown is able to occur if 90% of the average of the 15 daily VWAPs for the actual trading days immediately prior to the drawdown notice, is below $0.04 per share. However, if the actual issuance price calculated according to the terms of the Facility is less than the floor price, the drawdown will still proceed unless both parties agree otherwise.

  • • Mint shall not be entitled to own more than 9.99% of the shares in EVR, either pursuant to the terms of the Facility or via one or more on-market acquisitions, at any given time. If Mint’s shareholding was to increase above 9.99%, then Mint would need to use its reasonable endeavours to sell down part of its shareholding to ensure compliance with the terms of the Facility or a respective drawdown would be reduced accordingly.

  • • All issuances of shares under the Facility are subject to compliance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules. Drawdowns will be undertaken in reliance on Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.1A – if the Company does not have sufficient placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, then it will not undertake a drawdown and no shares will be issued until such time as the Company has capacity to do so
