Holes APV10-21, Holes APV10-24, and Holes APV10-29 at the Noth Manuel target
returned low values.
Assays for APV11-01 to APV11-05 pending. Holes APV11-06 and APV11-09 currently
underway.
The mineralization at La Lechoza has the characteristics of exhalative
polymetallic volcanogenic massive sulphides (VMS) and is zoned laterally and
possibly vertically. Hole APV10-20 was drilled parallel to the interpreted
structure and confirmed the lateral zonation of the metal distribution and the
dip angle of the structure. The stratigraphy in these holes is dominated by
basaltic andesites, breccias and tuffs, and banded cherts which directly overlay
the mineralized structure at Pon Hill.
Diamond Drilling Program
This program to date has completed 3,400 metres and another 12 holes are planned
during the next two months. This program is designed to follow-up on targets
identified during the 2009 and 2010 drilling phases.
A second phase of the program that consists of deep drilling is slated to
commence in early 2011, as soon as the adequate equipment is ready. This program
will include 10,000 meters in 8 to 12 holes between 800 and 1200 meters. The
purpose of this program is to test the deep portions of the mineralization
system inferred to occur beneath a barren silica lithocap covering the area in
the southwestern sector of the Ampliacion Pueblo Viejo concession.
This press release was reviewed by Robert Wheatley, P. Geo. and VP Exploration
of Everton, who acts as Everton's Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101.
Personnel, at the project, photograph each individual core box from each core
hole prior to measuring core recovery and geologically logging the hole. The
core is then sawn in half with one half going to the lab and the other half kept
for reference. All sample shipments are sealed and shipped to Acme Analytical
Laboratories (R.D.) S.A. at Maimon for preparation. Prepared samples are then
sent to the Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd. in Vancouver for analysis. Acme's
quality control system complies with the requirements for the International
Standard ISO 9001:2000 by monitoring analytical accuracy and precision with the
insertion and analysis of blanks, reference standards and duplicate samples.
Everton's Quality Control is further assured by the use of in-house blanks. The
use of certified standards and independent analysis of duplicate samples is
being initiated.
Everton
Everton is partnered with Brigus Gold on actively exploring in the Dominican
Republic adjacent to the US$3 billion Pueblo Viejo project, currently being
developed by the world's largest gold mining company, Barrick Gold Corporation
(60%) (NYSE/TSX: ABX) in partnership with Goldcorp (40%) ("Goldcorp") (NYSE: GG,
TSX: G). Planned divestiture of its 100%-owned subsidiary Hays Lake Gold
containing the Shoal Lake Gold Project in Kenora, Ontario is expected to provide
internal funding to advance the Ampliacion Pueblo Viejo project. Everton also
holds an interest in the Opinaca region of James Bay, Quebec where the Company
has partnered with Aurizon Mines Ltd. who is advancing Everton's interest by
funding 100% of all exploration work on one of the largest land packages
adjacent to Goldcorp's Eleonore gold deposit.
