"Our discovery efforts continue to reward us and our shareholders. Today's results show these are some of the best holes we've seen yet," said Andre Audet, President and CEO of Everton Resources Inc.
"Combined with our previous results, our geologists' growing understanding of La Lechoza Prospect has led to a more targeted drilling program intent on discovering higher grades and thicker intercepts," Mr. Audet added.
"Ultimately, the value of our decision to focus our business activities almost entirely in the Central Dominican Republic has been endorsed by EVR stakeholders. The assays appear to support our decision too," he said.

Personnel, at the project, photograph each individual core box from each core hole prior to measuring core recovery and geologically logging the hole. The core is then sawn in half with one half going to the lab and the other half kept for reference. All sample shipments are sealed and shipped to Acme Analytical Laboratories (R.D.) S.A. at Maimon for preparation. Prepared samples are then sent to the Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd. in Vancouver for analysis. Acme's quality control system complies with the requirements for the International Standard ISO 9001:2000 by monitoring analytical accuracy and precision with the insertion and analysis of blanks, reference standards and duplicate samples. Everton's Quality Control is further assured by the use of in-house blanks. The use of certified standards and independent analysis of duplicate samples is being initiated.
