EVR Everton Resources Inc

Everton Resources Inc. ("Everton") (TSX VENTURE: EVR)(Frankfurt: ERV) announces that it has signed a letter of intent with Brigus Gold Corp. ("Brigus") whereby Everton will acquire Brigus' remaining interest in the Ampliacion Pueblo Viejo II ("APV"), Ponton and La Cueva concessions in the Dominican Republic ("the Concessions").

Under the terms of the letter of intent, Everton must complete a minimum CAD$5 million financing, pay Brigus CAD$1 million cash and issue Brigus 15 million common shares in Everton. Brigus will also receive a sliding scale net smelter return royalty on the Concessions equal to 1.0% when the price of gold is less than US$1,000 per ounce, 1.5% when the price of gold is between US$1,000 and US$1,400 per ounce, and 2% when the price of gold is above US$1,400 per ounce.

In addition, Everton is required to incur a minimum CAD$5 million in exploration expenditures on the Concessions over the next two years, $4 million on APV and $500,000 on each of Ponton and La Cueva. Upon completion of a National Instrument 43-101 compliant measured and indicated resource estimate on the Concessions of a minimum 1 million ounces of gold equivalent ("AuEq") (at an average grade of 2.5 g/t AuEq or higher for APV and 1.5 g/t AuEq or higher for Ponton and La Cueva), Everton will pay Brigus an additional Cdn$5 million or issue 5 million common shares, whichever has the greater value.

"The signing of the letter of intent represents another step in Everton's strategy to focus on its Dominican Republic properties, and we believe acquiring a 100% ownership interest in APV, Ponton and La Cueva will add significant future shareholder value," said Andre Audet, President and CEO of Everton."

The closing of the transaction with Everton is subject to Everton completing its planned financing. The transaction and financing are subject to receiving regulatory approval.
