Everton, Linear cut massive sulphides in DR (May 17, 2006)

A 10-hole drilling program at the Loma el Mate property in the Dominican Republic has returned several significant intersections of zinc-copper mineralization.

Equal partners Everton Resources (EVR-V) and Linear Gold (LRR-V) announced the results on the program, which finished actual drilling in late April. The campaign followed up on a three-hole drill program last November, where one hole intersected a narrow massive-sulphide zone on a prospect called Tres Bocas.

Two of the holes in the follow-up program intersected massive sulphide mineralization. Hole TBM-07, collared 100 metres southeast of the hole that intersected mineralization last year, cut a 10.6-metre interval grading 9.41% zinc, 2.03% copper, 3 grams gold and 105 grams silver per tonne. That intersection was part of an 11-metre zone of massive pyrite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite overlying altered and pyritic quartz-sericite schist. The geology was similar to that of the earlier drill hole.

A second hole, TBM-12, cut a 4.6-metre interval that graded 8.05% zinc, 0.75% copper, 1.4 grams gold and 120 grams silver per tonne. Grades within the interval were variable, with a 1.3-metre zone in the middle that graded over 20% zinc.

Further mapping and ground geophysics are planned for the prospect.
