Everton Resources Inc. (TSX-V: EVR, Frankfurt: ERV) and its partner Linear Gold Corp. (TSX: LRR) are pleased to announce the discovery of a new mineralized zone West of La Lechoza prospect on the northern portion of the Ampliacion Pueblo Viejo concession located in the central part of the Dominican Republic, adjacent to the Barrick/Goldcorp’s Pueblo Viejo 22.4 million ounce gold deposit.

Recent field follow-up on soil anomalies from the 2007 survey led to the discovery of the La Lechoza West showing which consists of a series of limonitic to siliceous gossan floats and red ferruginous jasper with white quartz stockwork veinlets floats clustered over an area of 600 m². A composite rock sample from several floats on La Lechoza West returned up to 1.0 g/t gold, 6.7 g/t silver, 0.1% copper and 0.12% zinc. The La Lechoza West showing is situated 1.5 kilometer northwest and on stratigraphic trend to the La Lechoza prospect from which the best surface intercept in trench LT-11 returned 6.65 g/t gold and 18.8 g/t silver over 22.0 meters (press release September 18, 2007). In 2005, drilling performed by Linear at La Lechoza included a 1-meter massive sulfide zone at 10.25% copper and 5.71 g/t gold within a larger zone of 22.0 meters containing 1.0% copper and 0.3 g/t gold (LRR press release of August 25, 2005).

Everton and Linear just completed a 90-sample infilling soil sampling program to confirm the continuity between La Lechoza and La Lechoza West. A field mapping and rock sampling program is currently underway on La Lechoza West in preparation for the upcoming drill program announced by the partners on June 1^st, 2009.
