Everton Acquires 136 Claims for Gold Targets Using Diagnos Cards System in Detour Lake Area, Quebec

OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - April 27, 2016) - THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.

Everton Resources Inc. ("Everton" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:EVR) is pleased to announce the acquisition of 136 claims in the James Bay, Quebec.

The new 136 claims cover 7,437 ha (74.37 sq. km). The Detour Gold Quebec project area is a highly prospective area for gold deposits associated with the Sunday Lake and Lower Detour deformation zones. It is mostly known for hosting the Detour Lake Mine which has a gold reserve measured over 15.5 M ounces (reference: Detour Lake 2014, NI43-101 Technical Report) and the Casa Berardi Mine.

The claims were acquired using DIAGNOS' property Computer Aided Resource Detection System (CARDS) to target the gold potential in the Detour Lake area of Quebec. The CARDS system uses powerful pattern recognition algorithms to analyze digitally compiled exploration data, and identifies precise areas (gold targets) with, geological, topography and geophysical signatures similar to areas of known mineralization. The database modelling included: 1) levelled and merged High-Resolution Aeromagnetic Data Compilation of the Abitibi and the Ontario of the Detour Lake area; 2) topography; and 3) over 18,814 compiled assays (7,353 with Au = 1 g/t Au) from Quebec government-registered drill hole assays and surface samples. Based on analysis and on known lithology and structural geology in the region, over 6 high priority gold targets have been identified and staked. One of these priority gold targets is located 16 km north of the Casa Berardi Mine and overlaps the road.

Under the terms of purchase and sale agreement with DIAGNOS, Everton has purchased a list of targets on the areas of interest by issuing 1,700,000 common shares and by paying $25,000 on signing and $25,000 in 90 days following the signing to Diagnos, as well as, a 2% royalty on the net return of the smelting revenues associated with the minerals and concentrates to be extracted from the concessions identified by DIAGNOS. The purchase agreement stipulates that Everton may, at any time, reduce the royalty from 2% to 1% by paying DIAGNOS $1,000,000 in cash.
