The Fresso concession (6,650 hectares) has an extensive zone of disseminated sulphides mineralization occurring within the siliceous bedded chert. The area is underlain mostly by mafic metavolcanics and cherts of the Duarte Formation (Lower Cretaceous), in contact with intrusive tonalites.

The option agreement involves a payment of US$35,000 to the concession owner ( Asesores Internacionales Especializados, S.A.) for a one-year evaluation period.

Upon conclusion of the evaluation period, Everton can acquire a 100% interest in the property for a final cash payment of US$140,000. The concession owner is entitled to a 0.50% Net Smelter Return (“NSR”). Everton will have the option to acquire 50% of this NSR at any time, for US$250,000.
