Ottawa, Ontario - (November 25, 2015) - Everton Resources Inc. (“Everton” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:EVR)(FRANKFURT:ERV) is pleased to report that Hecla Quebec Inc. ("Hecla"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hecla Mining Company, has renewed its option to earn up to 60% interest on the Opinaca B Property in the immediate vicinity of Goldcorp's Éléonore gold mine in the James Bay region.
On the Opinaca B Property, Hecla has the option to earn up to a 60% interest from Azimut and Everton, each company currently owning a 50% interest. A $60,000 option payment from Hecla was recently received by Azimut.
During the spring and summer of 2015, Hecla conducted a $394,000 exploration program comprising:
A 40.5-km ground magnetic survey and a 21.8-km induced polarization ("IP") survey;
A prospecting program, including the sampling of 473 grab (rock) or float samples and 96 soil samples; and
A trenching program, including the collection of 153 channel samples from six sites.
Results outlined a 150- to 200-m-wide package of IP anomalies in the D8 prospect area carrying anomalous gold values (up to 0.11 g/t Au). The best prospecting result was 3.0 g/t Au from a boulder of chloritized wacke with quartz-feldspar-tourmaline veinlets.
Recently 42 new claims (22 km2) have been added to the Opinaca B property. These new claims provide better control on the possible extensions of already defined prospective targets.
A drilling program is currently proposed for 2016 to test several high priority targets on the property
