[{"type":"text","content":"Evrim Resumes Exploration on High Grade Epithermal Vein Field at Cerro CascaronVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 8, 2016 / Evrim Resources Corp. (TSXV: EVM) (\"Evrim\" or the \"Company\") announces exploration results and the resumption of exploration activity at the Company's 100% owned Cerro Cascaron project in Chihuahua, Mexico. A large, zoned, and high grade gold vein field has been defined at Cerro Cascaron and the next phase of exploration is aimed at mapping the extent of the system and defining drill targets. Cerro Cascaron is a low sulphidation epithermal gold target located 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. \nCerro Cascaron Exploration Highlights\n\n The Cerro Cascaron vein field is 4 kilometres by 2.5 kilometres and open in all directions\n The veining has been mapped over 900 vertical metres with strong textural and geochemical zonation \n The upper 380 metres contains bonanza grade vein mineralization with abundant visible gold. Rock chip samples grade from <0.005 grams per tonne (\"g/t\") to 1,670 g/t gold\n The lower 520 metres are characterized by silver and base metal rich veins with rock chip samples grading from <0.5 g/t to 599 g/t silver \n Mapping has defined competent quartz veins up to 1.5 metres wide and quartz breccia veins/quartz healed faults and stockwork zones up to 25 metres wide\n Tourmaline rich breccias and veins with high grade gold values from 0.565 g/t to 39.7 g/t gold are present at the lowest elevations \n\n\"The Cerro Cascaron project is an indication that the mineral endowment in Mexico continues to produce untested high quality exploration targets,\" commented Alain Charest, Evrim Resources' Vice President Exploration for Mexico. \"In six months Evrim's exploration team has transformed Cerro Cascaron from an unexplored concession to a highly prospective low sulphidation epithermal gold target.\" \nAbout the Cerro Cascaron Project \nThe 69 square kilometre Cerro Cascaron project covers a historic Colonial-era mining district that contains numerous gold and gold-silver prospects. The property hosts significant veining with high gold and silver grades that has never been drilled or evaluated by modern exploration techniques.\nMapping to date has foc...
