Evrim completes first phase of exploration at the Axe porphyry copper-gold project
Vancouver B.C. – July 6th, 2017: E v r i m R e s o u r c e s C o r p . ( T S X . V: E V M ) ( “ E v r i m ” o r t h e “ Co m p a n y ” ) is pleased to
provide an update on the first phase of exploration and data co mpilation of the recently acquired Axe porphyry
copper‐gold project. The Axe project is located in the Quesnel terrane of south‐central British Columbia, a well‐
known metallogenic belt that is host to such mines as Highland Valley (Teck Resources Limited), New Afton (New
Gold Inc.) and Copper Mountain (Copper Mountain Mining Corporation). Access and local infrastructure are
prominent features; a 238 kV power line crosses the southwest c orner of the property, while a network of logging
roads immediately east of Highway 5A provide excellent road access.
The Axe porphyry complex is represented by a cluster of four known porphyry centres including the West zone, Adit
zone, Mid zone and South zone whe re various exploration program s were completed since the 1960s, including
work by Cominco Ltd. (1980‐1993) and Xstrata Canada Corporation (2012‐2013). Evrim has completed an extensive
data review including detailed logging of over 5,000 metres of historic drill core, reprocessing of geophysical data,
and digitization of old records.
“Evrim identified the Axe project as a large area of alteration with evidence of economic intersections that were
not well understood,” Evrim’s Vice President of New Opportunities and Exploration, Charles Funk commented. “The
large amount of historic data has allowed us to quickly advance our understanding of the property. Combining the
recognition of high‐grade copper and gold mineralization with magnetite, and generating geophysical models with
magnetic cores adjacent to and be neath economic drill intercept s at the West and South zone, brings the project
an exciting leap forward.”
In 2006, a NI 43‐101 resource of 39 million tonnes (“Mt”) at 0.38% copper in the indicated category and an additional
32 Mt at 0.38% copper in the inferred category was estimated, although gold was not included as it was not assayed
in most previous drilling.
Significant copper intersections
Drill Hole A07‐08
124.5 metres grading 0.35% copper and 0.22 grams per tonne (“g/ t”) gold from 121.5 metres, including
10.5 metres grading 1.55% copper and 0.94 g/t gold from 234.0 metres
Drill Hole 14A‐04
71.5 metres grading 0.31% copper and 0.17 g/t gold from 180.0 metres
Significant gold intersections
Drill Hole A06‐05
49.5 metres grading 1.23 g/t gold from 25.5 metres
Drill Hole A07‐07
25.5 metres grading 1.09 g/t gold from 114 metres

Detailed logging of historic drill core recognized that high‐grade copper and gold mineralization (greater than 0.5%
copper and 0.3 g/t gold) is mainly associated with stockworked potassically‐altered zones in diorite, syn‐mineral
porphyry intrusions, and intrusive and volcanic breccias, where massive magnetite and/or millimetre‐ to
c e n t i m e t r e ‐ s c a l e m a g n e t i t e v e i n s c o n t a i n c o a r s e ‐ g r a i n e d c h a l c o pyrite and traces of bornite. Higher grade
mineralization is also found in late‐stage quartz‐carbonate‐massive pyrite‐chalcopyrite veins commonly found
peripheral to the porphyry systems.
A three‐dimensional (3D) inversion of the 2012 airborne magneti c survey reveals untested magnetic highs within
the core of the West and South zones and a new target at the Oh io prospect. These magnetic highs are due to
increased magnetite within the rocks, and when combined with the logging interpretation of high copper and gold
grades associated with magnetite in potassic alteration, present attractive drill‐ready targets.

B‐Horizon soil geochemistry dat a outlines a 1,000 metre by 400 metre copper (greater than 300 ppm) with gold,
molybdenum, bismuth, tungsten and zinc anomaly to the east of t he Summers Creek fault. The target, known as
the 1516 zone, coincides with an Induced Polarization (IP) high and an outcropping chlorite, pyrite, epidote gossan
with minor chalcopyrite and potassium feldspar. Three shallow holes drilled in the area in 1971 and 1982
intersected a porphyritic intrusive but does not adequately explain the geochemical anomaly. This area represents
another drill‐ready target on the project.

highs in both elements reflect the 1516 target area. Soils are not completed over the northwest of the property due to till c over making
them ineffective.
Evrim will now focus on presenting the project to exploration p artners with a goal of drill testing these exciting
targets.
