Evrim Resources Corp. announced that it has acquired the Cerro Cascaron project in Chihuahua, Mexico. Cerro Cascaron is an early stage target covering 69 square kilometres of ground prospective for epithermal gold-silver deposits.

The project was identified through the company's generative programs in 2015. The property is favorably situated in the dissected volcanic terrains of the Sierra Madre Occidental in Chihuahua, approximately 70 kilometres southeast of Goldcorp Inc.'s past-producing El Sauzal gold mine. Cerro Cascaron represents one of the few untested targets in the trend.

The Cerro Cascaron project covers a historic Colonial-era mining district that contains numerous gold and gold- silver prospects with evidence of small-scale artisanal mining. The company has identified a number of low sulphidation epithermal gold-silver targets at, or near, the unconformity between the Cretaceous to Tertiary Lower Volcanic Sequence andesites and the Tertiary Upper Volcanic Sequence rhyolites. Most epithermal gold- silver deposits found in the Sierra Madre Occidental, including El Sauzal, Mulatos and Ocampo, occur at, or near, this unconformity.

Exploration work to date has outlined a primary zone called Serpiente Dorada.
