Results provide immediate drill targets and vectors

Highlights

  • Footprint and Scale Extended: Geophysical survey indicates that the hydrothermal system extends well beyond the boundaries of Phase 1 drilling, defining two high-priority targets and a vectoring tool for feeder-controlled mineralisation.
  • Extensive Untested Conductor: A very large, open, low-resistivity anomaly has been delineated across all five survey lines, located approximately 500m southeast of current drilling. The structural-stratigraphic signature is consistent with a large-scale sulphide replacement system.
  • Inferred Fluid Feeder Conduit: Advanced processing has resolved a distinct, deep-rooting anomaly to the immediate east of shallow Phase 1 drilling, interpreted as a primary structural conduit for mineralizing fluids.
  • Structural Targeting Framework: Mapping of the vertical fault network provides a clear structural framework parallel to known mineralised trends, establishing precise vectoring parameters for the near-term drill program.
  • Phase 2 Technical Integration: On-ground field verification is currently underway to correlate geophysical anomalies with surface geology and geochemistry, directly informing final drill-hole planning ahead of a targeted maiden JORC Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE)

EV Resources (“EVR” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the completion and interpretation of a 2D inversion model from a Controlled Source Audio-frequency Magneto-Telluric (CSAMT) ground geophysical survey at Lirios 1 within the Los Lirios Antimony Project in Oaxaca, Mexico.The survey has returned three compelling targets for follow-up including a potential sulphide feeder zone at depth and adjacent to existing drilling, a massive untested and open anomaly to the southeast and a project-wide structural network expected to play a critical role in controlling mineralisation. The two low-resistivity anomalies are interpreted as potential sulphide enriched units, zones and/or structures, based on the very high resistivity (low conductivity) of limestone and gypsum country rock. Critically, these results demonstrate that the mineralised system remains open and possesses scale potential significantly larger than previously recognized, directly fast-tracking EVR’s exploration strategy to a maiden JORC Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) amidst a highly favourable global antimony market.

Three critical outcomes have been established from the interpretation of results:

1.  Central Low-Resistivity Anomaly (Potential Feeder Zone)

The survey has imaged a distinct low-resistivity anomaly immediately east of the primary drilling cluster on Line 2 and extending northwards through Line 1, remaining open (see Figures 1 and 2). The shallow antimony mineralisation intersected in Phase 1 drilling—which included 3.1m @ 2.1% Sb from 8.1m1 represents a tabular, conductive target hosted within a highly resistive limestone package. The newly identified central anomaly is structurally aligned with this shallow mineralisation but extends at depth. It is interpreted as a structurally focused, sub-vertical conduit representing the primary feeder zone of the system, offering an immediate target for deeper testing.

2.  Large Southeast (SE) Conductor Anomaly

Observed consistently across all five survey lines, and open to strike to north, south and east, the SE anomaly presents a significant exploration target (see Figure 1 and 2). The anomaly displays a strong vertical low-resistivity signature associated with structural boundaries, which then “blooms” into an extensive horizontally oriented low-resistivity zone. This specific structural-stratigraphic signature is typical of high-grade sulphide replacement styles within carbonate packages and provides an immediate target for the next phase of drilling.

3.  Critical Structural Network of Vertical Faults

Hydrothermal fluid flow in Carbonate Replacement Deposits (CRDs) requires structural pathways (feeders) for fluids to interact with receptive limestone units. The survey delineated multiple sub-parallel vertical features and lineaments bounding the low-resistivity target zones (see Figure 1 and 2). Critically these are parallel to the two known feeder structures, San Elias and San Miguel, providing high-potential targeting vectors for drilling where these newly identified structures intersect the receptive limestone unit.

Pit wall channel sampling indicates that antimony grade distribution within the CRD unit is highly elevated in the immediate vicinity of these feeder structures and diminishes laterally.

Delineating the fault network allows EVR to accurately predict where fluid interaction was highest, providing a potential roadmap for localised high-grade zones.

EV Resources Managing Director & CEO, Mike Brown, commented: “The results from this CSAMT survey represent a highly encouraging step forward for the scale potential of Los Lirios antimony project. By successfully mapping a robust network of vertical fault structures we now possess a critical vectoring tool to target high-grade zones within this CRD system.

The data has delivered more than what we’d hoped for: a potential sub-vertical connected sulphide feeder zone to the east of our initial drilling, and a massive, coherent and open anomaly to the southeast that significantly increases the scale potential given the strength and size of the anomaly. The southeastern signature is classic for major sulphide/quartz systems and gives us an immediate, high-priority target to test with the drill rig.

These results will feed directly into the planning phase for our Phase 2 drill program. Our strategy here is clear and aggressive: test these highly prospective structural corridors, where hydrothermal fluids interaction with the receptive tabular limestone unit is optimised, expand the mineralisation footprint testing the potential sulphide anomalies and accelerate towards a maiden JORC Mineral Resource Estimate.”

Technical Overview & Detailed Results

The primary objective of the survey was to map subsurface conductivity changes across a 500-meter vertical window to identify potentially hidden zones of sulphide accumulation and feeder structures to establish a potential geophysical fingerprint for mineralisation. The survey, comprised of five lines spaced 100 meters apart with 25-meter dipoles, was collected and processed by Zonge International and validated and interpreted by SouthernRock Geophysics. See Figure 3.

The 2D inversion effectively imaged a highly dynamic environment, ranging from highly resistive unaltered limestone (>10,000 ohm-m) to zones of low-resistivity (<40 ohm-m), potentially hosting higher conductivity sulphides.

Geology and CSAMT Discussion

The 2D inversion images a coherent volume from surface to approximately 500 m depth across the survey grid and estimates a dynamic range in resistivity of 40 Ωm to over 15,000 Ωm. The upper end of the resistivity range is typical of the unaltered limestone host and appears as a highly resistivity background. Zones of low to moderate resistivity may be associated with sulphide mineralisation, alteration, or structurally damaged and fluid-bearing carbonate facies.

The antimony mineralisation intersected in Phase 1 drilling represents a thin conductive target in a predominantly resistive limestone host of over 10,000 Ωm. The resulting response and 2D inversion model resistivity in the region of the drilling is likely understated in the model. The true extent and grade of mineralisation may be greater than the current survey response alone suggests, reinforcing the case for targeted Phase 2 drilling to test the newly identified anomalies at depth.

Forward Plan and Next Steps

Field crews are currently conducting ground verification across these newly identified anomalies, correlating geophysical data with surface geology and geochemistry, which will be used to refine final pad locations for Phase 2 drilling program.

The program will focus on generating the required drill density to produce a maiden JORC Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the project as well as testing the highly prospective SE anomaly, to potentially expand on the known mineralised zones.

  • Complete field verification: Correlating surface geology, interpretated structural network and the two low-resistivity anomalies identified in the CSAMT
  • Completion of CSMAT interpretation of Lirios 2 area, with results to be integrated into the broader project-scale targeting model to expand project-wide pipeline of targets
  • Establish an Exploration Target: Complete review of all geological and geophysical data on the Project area to establish an Exploration Target for antimony at Los Lirios
  • Phase 2 Rig Mobilization: Advance drill planning over; a) the known zones to underpin the maiden JORC Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE), and, b) testing the step-out potential of the Central and SE anomalies
