Evrim Resources Corp. (TSX.V:EVM) (“Evrim” or the “Company”) is
pleased to announce final drill results at the Cerro Cascaron gold
and silver project in southwestern Chihuahua, Mexico. Evrim
and exploration partner, Harvest Gold Corporation (“Harvest Gold”),
have completed a total of ten diamond drill holes at Serpiente
Dorada, San Pedro and Cascarita for a total of 2,255 metres.
The assay results included in this release follow up on the
announcement made in February 14, 2019.
“The maiden drill program at Cerro Cascaron
demonstrates significant potential to discover a low to
intermediate sulphidation epithermal gold deposit, specifically at
the Serpiente Dorada and San Pedro areas,” commented Stewart
Harris, VP of Technical Services. “Drilling at Serpiente Dorada
delineated a significant structural corridor containing local
high-grade gold mineralization. Well-developed quartz fissure
veins within a broad stockwork containing moderate gold grades and
epithermal textures exists at San Pedro, and drilling has aided in
vectoring toward a deeper and possibly higher grade gold
target. Additional drilling is needed to follow up both areas
and for exploration of several untested targets.”
Drill Program Highlights
Serpiente Dorada
- Drill hole SPT18-01 intersected 1.0
metre grading 20.10 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 22.5 g/t silver
from 225.5 metres downhole within 6.5 metres grading 3.29 g/t gold
and 6.3 g/t silver from 224.5 metres (previously reported February
14, 2019)
- Drill hole SPT19-02 intersected
11.5 metres grading 0.48 g/t gold and 3.9 g/t silver from 119.5
metres downhole and 1 metre grading 1.57 g/t gold and 1.2 g/t
silver from 219 metres
San Pedro
- SPED19-02 intersected 4.8 metres grading 1.02 g/t gold and 13.0
g/t silver from 141 metres downhole and 0.35 metres grading 5.39
g/t gold and 23.7 g/t silver from 154.45 metres downhole
(previously reported February 14, 2019)
- SPED19-03 intersected 2.4 metres grading 0.98 g/t gold and 36.6

About the Cerro Cascaron Drill
Program
Ten drill holes have been completed with two
holes at the Serpiente Dorada, four holes at San Pedro gold
targets, and four at the silver-rich Cascarita target.

Serpiente Dorada
Drill hole SPT19-02 targeted the intersection of
the north-trending Serpiente Dorada and northeast-trending La
Julieta structures approximately 180 metres north of
SPT18-01. The hole drilled into a sequence of rhyolitic and
andesitic volcanic rocks with crosscutting hydrothermal breccias; a
similar setting as hole SPT18-01. A zone of pervasive
silicification and quartz veining hosts a broad zone of low-grade
gold mineralization from 119.5 metres depth and a narrow zone of
strong quartz veining hosts the intersection from 219.0 metres.
The true widths of the zone of silicification and strong
quartz veining are not known.
Drill holes SPT18-01 and SPT19-02 intersected
the Serpiente Dorada structure over a strike length of
approximately 180 metres and also delineated a new structure or
splay off the Serpiente Dorada structure. Mineralization
intersected in these holes comprises quartz veining and
silicification where the Serpiente Dorada structure intersects
interpreted hydrothermal breccias and a contact between andesitic
and rhyolitic volcanic rocks, and presents a structural setting for
additional drilling.

San Pedro
Drilling at San Pedro has intersected a quartz
vein beneath the shallow historic workings hosted in rhyolitic tuff
and andesite. Drill hole SPED19-02 intersected the quartz vein
approximately 110 metres beneath the workings at the contact
between andesite and rhyolite and returned 4.8 metres grading 1.02
g/t gold and a separate higher grade interval of 5.39 g/t gold over
0.35 metres. Drill hole SPED19-03 intersected the San Pedro
vein approximately 40 metres beneath the vein in SPED19-02 and
returned 2.4 metres grading 0.98 g/t gold from 162.5 metres
downhole. Both SPED19-02 and SPED19-03 intersected the
banded San Pedro quartz vein and the vein intersected in hole
SPED19-03 also contained multi-episodal chalcedonic quartz and
quartz breccias. The textures observed in holes SPED19-02 and
SPED19-03 suggested that the vein in these holes is above the
boiling zone where the best mineralization is expected. Hole
SPED19-04 was drilled to intersect the San Pedro Vein about 70
metres downdip from the vein in SPED19-03 and intersected a zone of
pervasive silicification and quartz veinlets with anomalous gold
and pathfinder elements. Additional drilling is recommended
to test deeper targets along strike within the system.

About the Cerro Cascaron
Project
The Cerro Cascaron property hosts a low to
intermediate sulphidation epithermal gold system that includes a
gold-bearing vein in the eastern part of the property.
Veining has been mapped over 900 vertical metres, with
classic textural evidence of hydrothermal boiling accompanying the
highest gold grades. The proposed boiling zone has been established
in the upper 380 metres of the vein field. Beneath the
boiling zones, silver and base metal rich veins and breccias
provide additional exploration targets.
Cerro Cascaron's setting and mineralization are
similar to many epithermal deposits in the Sierra Madre Occidental,
including Minera Frisco SAB's Ocampo Mine to the northwest, Coeur
Mining Inc.’s Palmarejo mine, and First Majestic Silver's San
Martin de Bolaños silver mine.
