Everton Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: EVR)(FRANKFURT: ERV)
("Everton" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the arrival of
its second drill rig to commence work this week on its pioneering,
20,000-metres deep-drilling program at the Ampliacion Pueblo Viejo
project (the "APV Project") located in the central region of the
Dominican Republic.
The new drill will be used to drill for gold and copper
discovery targets beneath the silica lithocap on the APV Project
which is located just west of and immediately adjacent to
Barrick/Goldcorp's Pueblo Viejo gold deposit.
"Our target is the porphyritic intrusion that we believe, backed
by geological theory, is associated with Pueblo Viejo, one of the
largest gold deposits in the Western Hemisphere," stated Andre
Audet, Chairman and CEO of Everton.
Drilling through the silica lithocap is aimed to test the theory
that underneath it lies a shallow level porphyritic intrusion that,
in turn, may be associated with porphyry style copper-gold
mineralization as documented in similar geological
environments.
The current drill program commenced in March of 2011 when the
first 600-metre capable drill commenced activities to explore
mineralized structures or possible extensions of the mineralisation
from the Monte Negro and Arroyo Hondo pits of the Pueblo Viejo
complex.
This program anticipates drilling of eight to twelve holes
ranging in depth between 800 and 1,200 metres. The new Maxidrill 18
built in Laval, Quebec is capable of drilling up to 1,500 metres in
NQ size core and will be used to drill the deeper holes which are
anticipated to be cut through the extensive silica lithocap that
extends over 20 square kilometres west and north of the APV
Project. Numerous geochemical and geophysical anomalies have been
defined at surface and at depth and these are the targets to be
tested. A third drill currently being assembled in Spain and it is
anticipated that it will replace an older drill currently being
used on the APV Project.

("APV"), Ponton and La Cueva projets (the "Concessions"), which are
managed by Everton and are contiguous with Barrick's and GoldCorp's

100%-owned subsidiary Hays Lake Gold containing the Shoal Lake Gold
