First Majestic drills 8.2 metres grading 11.5 g/t gold and 633 g/t silver at Ermitaño West VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Evrim Resources Corp.(TSX-V:EVM) (“Evrim” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce additional drill results from its Ermitaño gold project in Sonora, Mexico under option to First Majestic Silver Corp. (TSX:FR) (“First Majestic”). First Majestic provided assay results for the remaining six holes of a ten hole 3,156 metre diamond drill program completed in early 2017. These drill holes follow up on the discovery hole EW16-04 that returned 11.4 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold and 86 g/t silver over 18.0 metres at Ermitaño West (announced January 17, 2017). The Ermitaño West prospect is located approximately 3.5 kilometres southeast of First Majestic’s operating Santa Elena gold-silver mine. Ermitaño West Drilling Highlights Drill Hole EW16-05 - 26.2 metres grading 4.2 g/t gold and 52 g/t silver, including 12.3 metres grading 7.3 g/t gold and 72 g/t silver
- Mineralization was intersected approximately 200 metres west of EW16-04
Drill Hole EW16-06 - 32.8 metres grading 3.8 g/t gold and 187 g/t silver, including 8.2 metres grading 11.5 g/t gold and 633 g/t silver
- Mineralization was intersected approximately 130 metres west of EW16-04
Drill Hole EW16-09 - 13.8 metres grading 3.3 g/t gold and 72 g/t silver, and 3.3 metres grading 6.2 g/t gold and 27 g/t silver
- Mineralization was intersected approximately 60 metres east of EW16-04
Drill Hole EW16-10 - 16.4 metres grading 2.2 g/t gold and 35 g/t silver including 5.5 metres grading 4.8 g/t gold and 65 g/t silver
- Mineralization was intersected approximately 310 metres west of drill hole EW16-04
True widths are estimated to be approximately 50%-80% of the reported intervals Charles Funk, VP of New Opportunities and Exploration commented, “We are very excited by the development of the Ermitaño West vein. Drilling to date has traced a zone that is 590 metres in strike and up to 210 metres deep with an average thickness of approximately 11 metres. Mineralization remains open at depth and to the west while the main shoot has demonstrated the presence of high gold and silver grades with the potential for significant additional mineralization and tonnage. According to First Majestic their plans for Ermitaño West in 2018 include 20,000 metres of drilling to define a resource, expand the extent of known mineralization and explore for additional veins in the area.” http://de.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&article=76485564
