REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

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

During the reporting period the Company achieved its objective of securing a drilling permit for the high grade Parag copper-molybdenum project located in Huauru province, Peru. This followed an extensive period of community engagement, and the conclusion of multi year land access, partnership and investment agreements with the communities of Caujul and Navan.

Exploration and Next Step s

AK Drilling International have been appointed as drilling contractor and have mobilised to site in early January, after the preparation of drill pads and maintenance of roads.

The drill permit allows for drilling from 20 drill platforms, and will allow a full year of constant work, while a more comprehensive drilling programme is permitted during 2024.

Figure 2 – Google Earth image showing the location of the initial planned drill holes shown by red dots.

The initial focus of the exploration will be to drill well understood targets on the high grade and outcropping breccias orebodies which have had a substantial amount of drilling to date, although most holes were drilled in an era before the adoption of the JORC code and need to be drilled again. Following an initial drill programme, a geophysics programme will be conducted that will be followed by drilling planned to test the deeper lying porphyry target discussed in previous announcements.

Don Enrique Copper Project, Peru (EVR 50%)

During the quarter, EVR focused its attention on obtaining a drilling permit for the Don Enrique project. An initial drilling permit for a 20 platform programme was issued, after extensive engagement with the community of Quero, with whom a multi year land access, engagement and investment agreement was signed. EVR will commence permitting a more expansive programme in mid 2024.

During the quarter, initial drilling targets were selected, for testing a very substantial chargeability high identified after an Induced Polarisation study earlier in 2023. This programme will utilise excellent quality unsealed roads, and test the anomaly which has been interpreted to dip to the west of the previously sampled and mapped hydrothermal breccia structures. The anomaly appears to widen as it dips to the -500m level, which was the extent of the depth tested.

==> picture [396 x 415] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 3 – Chargeability Anomaly at 500 metre depth

The anomaly appears to be widening and intensifying at the north west boundary of the project’s licence.

A drilling programme is planned for later in the March quarter of 2024, to follow the initial drilling of the Parag project.

La Cienega Copper Project, Arizona (EVR 100%)

No Work was undertaken in the quarter.

Other Projects

EVR did not complete any activities at its remaining projects and has commenced a process of disposal of its non core holdings, by way of outright sale or Joint Venture.

Forward Looking Statement

Forward Looking Statements regarding EVR´s plans with respect to its mineral properties and programs are statements that are not historical facts. Words such as “expect(s)”, “feel(s)”, “believe(s)”, “will”, “may”, “anticipate(s)”, “potential(s)”and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. 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. There can be no assurance that EVR’s plans for development of its mineral properties will proceed as currently expected. There 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 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.
