Evrim acquires Lemon Lake copper-gold project in British Columbia, Canada

08.05.2019  |  GlobeNewswire

VANCOUVER, May 08, 2019 - Evrim Resources Corp. (TSX.V:EVM) (“Evrim” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has acquired a 100% interest in the Lemon Lake copper-gold project in central British Columbia, Canada. Lemon Lake was identified through Evrim’s copper porphyry target review and was acquired in late 2018. The project is located in an area of producing mines and deposits in the Quesnellia Terrane and contains a drill ready porphyry target.

Project Highlights

  • A 2,646 hectare project prospective for copper-gold porphyry deposits
  • Located 34 kilometres southeast of the Mt. Polley mine and 13 kilometres northeast of the Woodjam deposit cluster
  • Porphyry alteration and copper and gold geochemistry masked by shallow till cover
  • Historic drilling intersected 21.3 metres of 0.25% copper from 21 metres downhole and was not assayed for gold or followed up
  • A recent Induced Polarization (“IP”) target coincident with alteration and geochemistry indicates historic drilling only clipped the outer edge of the target

“The Lemon Lake project brings together historic drilling, mapping, sampling and geophysics that presents an attractive drill target,” commented Charles Funk, VP of New Opportunities and Exploration. “Our evaluation team recognized the area’s potential and was able to unite several claims into one group. The project adds to Evrim’s portfolio of discovery opportunities in British Columbia.”

The property is located close to infrastructure with nearby power and road access across the project.

Evrim acknowledges that Lemon Lake is situated within the traditional territory of the Williams Lake Indian Band, Xatsull First Nation and the Neskonlith Indian Band. Evrim is committed to developing positive and mutually beneficial relationships with First Nations based on trust and respect and a foundation of open and honest communications.

About the Lemon Lake Project

The property is centered on a 5.0 by 2.7 kilometre zoned pluton hosted in volcanic units of the Quesnellia Terrane, a typical setting of many porphyry deposits in central and southern British Columbia. The pluton is zoned from gabbro through diorite to monzonite from south to north, however detailed mapping is limited by extensive shallow till cover. Historic exploration has shown that the monzonite phase contains zoned porphyry alteration from distal propylitic to central potassic alteration with associated copper mineralization.

In 1974, HudBay Minerals Inc. (“Hudbay”) completed a series of percussion drill holes. The northernmost hole (drill hole 74 L-4) intersected 21.3 metres grading 0.25% copper from 21 metres downhole with individual samples up to 0.7% copper. Gold was not assayed during this program. The drill log for hole 74 L-4 notes strong potassic alteration with disseminated and fracture filled copper mineralization. Hudbay’s report also summarized the intersection as encouraging and recommended follow-up drilling to the north and west. 1 The follow-up work was never completed.

In 2012, an IP survey outlined an elongated 2,800 metre by 600 metre chargeability anomaly coincident with altered porphyritic monzonite and a large copper and gold in soil geochemical anomaly. Drill hole 74 L-4 from the 1974 program clipped the eastern edge of the chargeability anomaly.

Evrim is seeking a joint venture partner to advance the project.
