[{"type":"text","content":"Evrim Expands Gold Mineralization at Cerro CascaronVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 14, 2016 / Evrim Resources Corp. (TSX.V: EVM) (\"Evrim\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce results from an exploration program on its 100% owned Cerro Cascaron project in Chihuahua, Mexico. Cerro Cascaron is an early stage target covering 69 square kilometres of ground prospective for epithermal gold-silver deposits. The property is favorably situated in the dissected volcanic terrains of the Sierra Madre Occidental in Chihuahua, approximately 55 kilometres southeast of Goldcorp Inc.'s past-producing El Sauzal gold mine. Cerro Cascaron represents one of the few untested targets in the trend.Exploration Program Highlights-Gold-silver mineralization outlined over a 10 square kilometre area to date on the eastern third of the property-Fourteen structurally-controlled epithermal gold-silver systems identified with strike lengths ranging from 70 to 800 metres with a cumulative strike length of over 3000 metres delineated to date. Most structures remain open along strike.-Significant gold or silver epithermal vein mineralization sampled in eleven zones, including:--9.24 g/t gold and 134 grams per tonne (g/t) silver over 2.0 metres--6.18 g/t gold over 1.5 metres--1.19 g/t gold over 5.0 metres--1.80 g/t gold and 516 g/t silver over 0.8 metres--0.499 g/t gold and 231 g/t silver over 3.8 metresThe exploration program comprised property-scale and detailed geologic mapping and rock chip sampling at selected targets identified from Evrim's previous reconnaissance-scale programs. Geologic mapping has better defined the controls on mineralization that occurs in Cretaceous andesite volcanic rocks and extends upwards into younger Tertiary rhyolite and andesite volcanic rocks. The mineralized structures comprise quartz veins, vein-breccias, quartz veinlet and stockwork zones with finely crystalline, drusy, locally banded and lattice textures that are common in low sulphidation epithermal gold-silver systems. The mineralized structures range from 0.3 to 10 metres in width and follow two dominant orientations, east-west and north-south with higher-grade gold mineralization preferentially hosted in the north-south structures. A vertical zonation has been identified in the vein systems that have a vertical extent of at least 900 metres. The veins exposed at...
