Evrim Commences Drilling at Axe Copper-Gold Project in British Columbia With Partner Antofagasta

Evrim Resources (TSXV:EVM)has announced that a drilling program has commenced at the Axe porphyry copper-gold project in southern British Columbia.

In the press release the company said that it and its exploration partner, Antofagasta (LSE:ANTO), have planned to drill 3,000 metres using a combination of diamond and reverse circulation drill rigs.

As quoted in the press release, vice president of technical services at Evrim, Stewart Harris said:

“Drilling will focus on the West and South Zones where re-logging of historic drill core identified a strong association of high-grade copper and gold with magnetite. This interpretation, when combined with several untested magnetic targets from a 2012 airborne magnetic survey, has generated attractive drill targets. The large amount of historic data has contributed to the rapid advancement in our understanding of the property.”
