REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Parag Copper-Molybdenum Project, Peru (EVR 70%)

During the reporting period the Company reached an agreement to acquire 70% of the Parag CopperMolybdenum Project in Peru. The Parag Project totals 1399 hectares and is located 145km north of Lima in the province of Huaura (Figure 1). It is accessed by sealed roads as far as Sayán, unsealed roads to Churin, and the final 75km on dirt tracks. The overall distance by road from Lima is 350 km, with travel time of about eight and a half hours. The terrain consists of open hills, above the tree line, with an average elevation of 4,700m.

The project was explored in two phases, first in the 1980s culminating in 8,300m of drilling and again in 2011 with an additional 10,170m of drilling. An extensive area anomalous in Copper and Molybdenum has been defined by channel sampling. Historically, attention was focused on several mineralised breccias (Figure 2) although other lithologies on site are mineralised, notably Hornfels and Dacite Porphyry.

Historical drilling suggests the presence of an economic copper-molybdenum orebody, with significant value contributed by the molybdenum, currently more than five times the price of copper. Minor quantities of silver and gold have been recorded in most drill holes. EVR’s plan is to move rapidly towards defining a shallow resource on the breccias whilst developing a deeper, longer-term, porphyry copper target.

The project was initially explored by the Gubbins Group in the 1980s. They undertook mapping and took 196 grab samples for geochemistry. Gubbins drilled 55 diamond holes for a total of 8,293m. The holes were relatively shallow, the deepest being 333.90m. There are references in their files to IP work done at this time, but this data is not available.

Figure 3 shows the target areas developed by the Gubbins geology team, with the collars from their drill program. Essentially, they correspond to outcropping breccia bodies and were mostly drilled with short, vertical, holes. In contrast to the later Orion programme, the Gubbins programme focused on high grade breccia targets only.

Figure 3: Drill collars from both phases of exploration with named target areas. Orión holes are labelled.

After a period of inactivity, the project was picked up by a Peruvian company Orión in 2010. They completed a program of mapping, geochemistry (including extensive channel sampling), geophysics (ground magnetics and IP), and 21 diamond drill holes totalling 10,168.8m. Key drill intersections from this campaign were as follows:

  • Hole VIE-01 317m @ 2.01% CuEq from surface

  • Hole VIE-03 89.4m @ 3.90% CuEq from 6.5m

  • Hole VIE-04 95.6m @ 2.04% CuEq from surface

  • Hole VIE-09 60m @ 0.78% CuEq from 3m

  • Hole VIE-10 54m @ 0.73% CuEq from 328m

  • Hole VIE-017 256m @ 0.38% CuEq from 199m and then 6m @2.89% CuEq from 283m

  • Hole VIE-18 72m @ 2.26% CuEq from surface and then 196m @0.34% CuEq from 72m

Exploration and Next Steps

EVR’s team is particularly interested in the body of tourmaline breccias, clasts of mineralised porphyry with chalcopyrite and traces of bornite found wirhin the body of the tourmaline breccias. This is direct evidence of a mineralised porphyry system below the zone of breccias and underpins our strategy of moving quickly towards a shallow resource on the breccias whilst developing a deeper, longer-term, porphyry copper target.

EVR will spend the due diligence period accumulating additional data and will commence reprocessing geophysical data from the Orion programme. Core will be relogged, and an initial 8,000m drilling campaign will be prepared. It is intended that this programme will seek to replicate the old Gubbins programme that focused on high grade breccia targets, and which (when supplemented by the later Orion drilling) provided historic, non-JORC resource estimates.

Transaction Details

EVR reached an agreement with GeoAndina Minerals for the acquisition of a 70% shareholding in the Parag project which will be placed into a newly established company. EVR will pay US$20,000 for a 3- month exclusivity agreement while due diligence is conducted.

At the conclusion of due diligence and confirmation EVR intends to proceed, the parties will enter into a Definitive Agreement that includes the following terms:

  • EVR will make a cash payment of US$150,000 to GeoAndina on signing the Definitive Agreement.

  • An amount of US$50,000 per quarter is payable to GeoAndina until the mine achieves first production.

  • GeoAndina Minerals will have a free carried interest to the point of Readiness to Mine (Bankable Feasibility Study including permitting), at which point GeoAndina may elect to fund its 30% share of project capital.

  • If GeoAndina elects not to fund its 30% shareholding, then it can convert its 30% holding to a non-dilutive 12% carried interest in the project once a commercial production rate is reached, of 3000 tonnes per day of ore mined and milled over a 60- day period.

  • EVR has the ability to terminate the agreement at its sole discretion.

  • The Definitive Agreement will be subject to any regulatory and corporate approvals.

Don Enrique Copper Project, Peru (EVR 50%)

An Induced Polarisation survey totalling 28.8-line kilometres was undertaken by Lima-based contractor Geomaster Geophysics at EV Resources’ Don Enrique Copper Project. The survey consisted of 100m – spaced lines covering an area of 2 km x 1.5 km. The survey covers the area of mapped breccias and mineralised underground workings (see previous announcements) and extends over prospective rocks to the southeast of the mapped and prospected area (Figure 4).

The IP survey used pole-dipole geometry with 100m line spacing and stations every 50m along lines. The resistivity and chargeability data were processed using Geotomo software to produce both 2-D and full 3-D inversions. The chargeability inversion model shows a significant volume of rock with chargeability greater than 17 mV/V (Figure 5).

Zones of high chargeability are frequently caused by the presence of sulphides in altered rock. The 3- D inversion shows two main features: to the southeast (right side of Figure 5) a “chimney” of chargeable rock reaches the surface on the high ground above the area of mapped breccias. Below and northwest of the underground workings, a more massive body is present beneath the valley bottom, towards the road.

Figure 5: 3-D chargeability model showing volume with values > 17 mV/V.

The geometry of the IP response suggests a steeply southwest-dipping structural control, consistent with the strike of the mapped breccias and faults on surface. The fault line shown in Figure 5 is inferred from a strong lineament in the first vertical derivative magnetics image (Figure 6). It appears to bound the zone of high chargeability and may exert a structural control in the alteration / mineralisation system at Don Enrique.

The total magnetic intensity image, reduced to the equator does show some zones of high intensity (magnetite-rich rocks); however, since the district geology is dominated by volcanics and andesitic to dacitic intrusive, it is difficult to interpret the magnetic highs as particular lithologies or plutons at this stage.

A plausible explanation for the observed IP anomaly would be a volume of phyllic alteration with abundant pyrite, often found in the outer part of a porphyry copper system. In this scenario (Figure 7), the structure observed in the IP and magnetics data provides permeability for hydrothermal breccias and alteration fluids to reach shallow levels.

Next Steps

The new geophysics data at Don Enrique, together with prior results, provide an internally consistent narrative which suggests the presence of a deeper intrusive body related to the mineralisation which outcrops at surface. The strong IP anomaly offers an immediate drill target which will be tested in the next phase of exploration.

The drill permitting for Don Enrique is underway, helped by the support of local communities. EVR expects to be in a position to drill by the end of the September quarter, and an initial programme of 2,500m of diamond drilling has been planned.

La Cienega Copper Project, Arizona (EVR 100%)

During the quarter, the Company continued to consolidate its land position of the historic Cienega Mining District within la Paz Country, Arizona, USA. The Company currently holds 145 unpatented lode mining claims for a total of approximately 2,996 acres along with the “Golden Eagle” claims of 18 unpatented claims amounting to 370 acres. All claims are located in the Cienega District of la Paz County, Arizona and the project will henceforth be called the “la Cienega Project”.

The Golden Eagle Claims

Eighteen unpatented claims amounting to 370 acres, have been secured by completing and paying for the pegging and registration commenced by MineOro Explorations, LLC, who have accepted a 2% NSR royalty in return for EVR completing the pegging in its own name. 1% of this Royalty may be purchased prior to development for a cash payment of US$750,000.

The project is located in the Buckskin Mountains of West-Central Arizona and covers ground in the Cienega sub-district on the Buckskin Mining District. Several outcrops of copper and a number of old copper mine workings have been documented on a mineralised trend over a 2.5 kilometre strike. Much of the underground developments were completed prior to 1910 and minimal reporting was required, although EVR has accessed some records of underground development and sampling. There are numerous existing access roads and only minor rehabilitation will be required to mobilise drilling operations.

The Golden Eagle claims area has extensive historic workings under multiple names. Historic naming conventions include Gray Eagle, Double Eagle, Arizona Empire, Arizona McGinnis, and others. More than 4,000m of underground workings have been reported.

Dominant mineralisation of the Buckskin District is related to a regional burial event caused by tectonic over-plating. The Buckskins experienced a regional MVT-style mineralisation event in which IronOxide/Copper mineralisation has emplaced along stratigraphic controls within the Paleozoic Sedimentary Rocks.

The Golden Eagle target presents as a block of highly mineralised (iron-oxide/copper-oxide) Paleozoic carbonates and siliciclastic sediments that have been rotated to a sub-vertical orientation. More than 4km of structurally controlled quartz vein mineralisation has been identified along this trend. An exploration program of systematic sampling, mapping, and drone magnetic survey commenced towards the end of the Quarter.

Khartoum Sn-Ag-W-REE Project, Australia (EVR 100%)

The Company completed an assessment of rock chip and drill samples, which identified several prospect areas that returned significant rare earth element results. The samples were initially collected during the Company’s exploration efforts to define tin (Sn) and Tungsten (W) mineralisation.

Rock chip samples were collected from various prospects within EVR’s Khartoum tenure, either from historic mine dumps or outcropping geology that indicated potential for Sn and/or W mineralisation. The drill samples are from RC drilling completed by EVR during 2022 to test Sn geochemistry targets.

Drilling was undertaken in the Boulder area to test the significance of surficial Sn geochemical anomalies in areas of greisen alteration of host granites. The drilling intersected elevated REE at shallow depth at a few locations. Most of the intersections returned a high ratio of Magnetic REO with maximum values of 223ppm Dy2O3, 1052ppm Nd2O3, 233 Pr6O11 and 39ppm Tb4O7. Many of the drill results are from 4m composite samples, hence grades may be greater over individual metre intervals.

The most significant REE rock chip results are from areas of highly altered and greisenised fractionated granite outcrop. These include samples returning Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO) values of:

  • Adelaide - 3920ppm TREO (1680ppm Y203, 323ppm Nd2O3, 305ppm Dy2O3 and 47ppm Tb4O7).

  • Gows - 3295ppm TREO (675ppm Nd2O3, 83ppm Dy2O3, 155ppm Pr6O11 and 15ppm Tb4O7).
