EV Resources Limited (ASX:EVR) (“ EVR ”, the “ Company ”) is pleased to provide an update on its activities for the March 2022 Quarter.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Khartoum Tin-Silver-Tungsten Project (EVR 100% Interest)[1 ]
During the quarter, the Company identified numerous greisen style tin targets in the Boulder area of the Khartoum Project, located approximately 100km southwest of Cairns.
Recent sampling by EVR has demonstrated that surface mineralisation associated with greisen-Sn mineralisation is more widespread than previously identified. EVR targeted areas of less intense greisen alteration not previously sampled to determine the potential lateral extent of tin mineralisation, particularly between and along strike from areas that had previously returned significant results.
EVR results include 0.91% Sn and 0.55% Sn 250m to the south of the Adelaide workings (BARC07-06 on Figure 1), 0.10% Sn, 0.18% Sn and 0.13% between BARC07-02 and BARD07-05 and 0.12% Sn 700m north from BARC07-01 in an area not previously mapped as greisen altered (Figure 1 and Figure 2).
Previous outcrop channel sampling and mapping identified 35 greisen outcrops in the Boulder area that returned greater than 0.1% Sn at surface. Of these, 19 have a mapped surface area of over 1000m[2] , indicating economic tonnage potential (Figure 2).
The Company has planned a 3,000m drilling campaign for the Boulder area to expand the mineralisation footprint defined by previous drilling by stepping out along strike and below previous drilling and to test at least 12 further higherpriority greisen targets (those of >0.1% Sn and > 1000m[2] extent) that have not received previous drill testing (Figure 2). Drilling is expected to be of approximately four weeks duration and commence in late May.

Don Enrique Copper Project (EVR to acquire 100% interest)[2]
During the quarter, EVR announced that the Company has entered into an in principle agreement with the principal shareholder of Minera Montserrat S.A.C, a Peruvian company and 100% owner of the Don Enrique Copper-Gold Silver Project, located in Peru. Total consideration for the acquisition of 100% of Minera Montserrat S.A.C. is US$1.3m, payable over two years. The Don Enrique Project consists of four licences covering 1,800Ha in an area 30km northeast of Jauja and approximately 260km from the nation’s capital, Lima.
Significant copper, gold and silver values returned from previous sampling of an underground exploration adit and from surface outcrop of over 1,500m extent indicate considerable potential for the Project. Underground rock chip samples returned values to 4.7% Cu, 1269ppm Ag and 0.33ppm Au and underground continuous channel sampling across mineralisation returned a best sample of 12m at 1.56% Cu, 282ppm Ag and 0.06ppm Au. Surface samples 800m from the adit returned up to 4.8% Cu, 251ppm Ag and 0.15ppm Au.
Further sampling, mapping and geophysics is required before drilling with the intention to apply for a licence under the PPM (Pequeno Productora Minera) permitting framework which expedites mining licences for projects smaller than 2000 hectares in extent, which may be drilled after granting.

New Standard Copper Project (EVR to acquire 100% Interest) and NS Claims Staked[3]
During the reporting period, the Company exercised its option to acquire the New Standard Copper Project (“Project”), located in the Cienega Mining District of La Paz County, Arizona. The Project comprises six lode claims covering 120 contiguous acres, in a district of considerable old workings dating back to the 19th century. Historic workings provide evidence of copper mineralisation over a 1.5-kilometre extent. It appears from desktop studies of historical reports that mining, and processing continued until approximately 1922.
EVR engaged geological consultants to undertake site evaluation and geological reconnaissance, during which 60 surface grab samples and 8 underground grab samples were collected from locations within the New Standard Claims and in surrounding areas where historic workings and surface copper mineralisation were identified. Of the 68 samples assayed, 26 returned copper values greater than 1% Cu to a maximum of 16.8% Cu and 16 gold results greater than 0.1g/t Au to a maximum of 16.95g/t Au.[ 4]
The March quarter sampling and mapping programme identified that the copper-gold mineralised system in which the New Standard claims lie, is far more extensive than previously thought, and numerous samples taken outside of the claims area confirmed this hypothesis. EVR immediately staked a further 149 claims, covering 3078 acres, increasing the land under licence to 3198 acres (“NS Claims”). These claims are held 100% by the Company.
This development positions New Standard as a copper exploration project of some scale, and further mapping and sampling to the east of the initial claim area will commence in May 2022.

Weinebene and Eastern Alps Lithium Projects (EVR 80% interest)[5]
During the quarter, the Company appointed Austrian geological consultants, GEO Unterweissacher GmbH (“GEO Unterweissacher”), to advise on the exploration strategy for the lithium projects in Austria, which are held 80% by the Company and 20% by EUR. This includes the Weinebene and Eastern Alps Lithium Projects located in Southern Austria that contain indications of high-grade lithium targets. Rock chip and soil sampling in the area have identified numerous spodumene bearing pegmatites with very high lithium values up to 3.39% Li2O. The project area has significant exploration potential.
GEO Unterweissacher has reviewed and advised on geological evaluation programs across six other projects that the Company holds in Austria. The Company is working with the European Lithium Limited (ASX:EUR) technical team to co-ordinate the proposed drilling program for the extension of the Wolfsberg Mine.

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
