Evrim acquires Sarape gold-silver vein project near Ermitaño
Vancouver B.C. – August 2nd, 2017: Evrim Resources Corp. (TSX.V:EVM) (“Evrim” or the “Company”) is pleased to
announce the acquisition of the Sarape gold -silver project in central Sonora, Mexico . Sarape was identified
through Evrim’s generative programs with reconnaissance exploration completed in early 2017. The project is
100% owned by Evrim with no underlying royalties and is located near excellent infrastructure with roads and
power crossing the 5,776 hectare property.
Sarape is located in an emerging epithermal gold belt that hosts Premier Gold’s Mercedes Mine and First
Majestic’s Santa Elena Mine.
“Sarape displays many similarities with Evrim’s Ermitaño project discovery where exploration partner
First Majestic drilled 18 metres grading 11.4 g/t gold,” commented Charles Funk, Evrim’s Vice President
of New Opportunities and Exploration. “Common to both projects are prominent outcropping broad
veins with low to moderate grade gold and silver at surface. A key observation lies in the recognition of
textures within the veins at surface which commonly occur above concealed high-grade ore-shoots.”
The Phase 1 exploration program has defined two major veins : the Sarape vein, a northwest trending vein
measuring 6.0 kilometres in length and up to 12.0 metres in width, and the Chiltepin vein, a west trending vein
measuring 2.6 kilometres in length and up to 3 .0 metres in width. Both veins are located either side of a
Laramide age horst block. Systematic channel sampling reveals that the western portion of both veins contains
barren white quartz and calcite veins that are interpreted to represent late influx and boiling of meteoric fluids
during the collapse of the hydrothermal system . The eastern portion of the veins are composed of a separate
phase of low -temperature, tan green quartz that consistently assays from 0.10 to 0.36 g/t gold across sampled
widths, with individual samples assaying up to 3.6 g/t gold.
Neither the Sarape nor Chiltepin vein has ever been drilled.

Sarape and Ermitaño comparison
Both projects contain notable outcropping veins with long strike lengths and wide widths at surface:
Prospect Vein Strike Length Vein Width
Ermitaño Ermitaño West 1,450 metres 1-3 metres
Sarape Sarape 6,000 metres 1-12 metres
Chiltepin 2,600 metres 1-3 metres

The Ermitaño west vein has 14 of 924 samples above 1 g/t gold (1.5%) with a maximum value on surface of 6.6 g/t
gold. The Sarape project has 2 of 132 samples above 1 g/t gold (1.5%) with a maximum value on surface of 3.7 g/t
gold.

Identifying surface textures is a key observation at Ermitañ o West to interpret that the high grade ore- shoot
occurred at depth below. The outcropping vein at Ermitaño West is composed of massive white quartz with very
minor banding and anomalous gold and silver. A t 100 metres below surface in hole EW16 -01, banding is more
evident and a tan-green phase of quartz is first observed.
At Sarape , both the Sarape and Chiltepin vein s contain two phases of quartz; a low temperature chalcedonic
white quartz with bladed calcite phase associated with an influx of shallow meteoric water during the waning
phase of the system , and a second low -temperature banded tan -green quartz phase with anomalous gold and
silver.

g/t silver.
Evrim released the results of the first four drill holes at Ermitaño West (see news release January 17, 2017) where
drilling has intersected a boiling zone 150 metres below surface and a high grade ore -shoot with hole EW16 -04
recording 18 metres at 11.4 g/t gold.
Evrim will now focus on presenting the 100% owned Sarape project to exploration partners with the goal of drill
testing these veins.
