OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - April 13, 2011) - Everton Resources Inc., ("Everton") (TSX VENTURE:EVR)(FRANKFURT:ERV) is pleased to report additional results from the La Lechoza prospect at the Ampliación Pueblo Viejo concession, immediately adjacent to Barrick/Goldcorp's Pueblo Viejo gold deposit in the Dominican Republic.
Highlights include in drill hole APV11-30: 10.50 m at 2.29 g/t Au, 65 g/t Ag, 0.64% Cu and 3.43% Zn, including 1.50 m at 11.26 g/t Au, 235 g/t Ag, 0.76% Cu, 6.99% Zn and 1.05% Pb.
"The latest La Lechoza numbers continue to prove the value of our strategy to focus our exploration and discovery operations exclusively on Ampliacion Pueblo Viejo," said Andre Audet, President and CEO of Everton Resources Inc.
"Last year, Everton Resources Inc. began divesting its Canadian gold properties to enable its management to re-focus its energies on the company's Dominican Republic gold, silver and copper resources immediately adjacent to the 24 million ounce Barrick/Goldcorp Pueblo Viejo gold deposit.
"We've positioned ourselves perfectly - financially and operationally - to deliver the potential our shareholders and backers expect from us," he said.
"Our positioning has led to the progress we've seen today. The growing understanding of our mineralized geology brings us a step closer towards initiating the calculation of a resource estimate in compliance with National Instrument 43-101" Mr. Audet said.

This news release was reviewed by Robert Wheatley, P. Geo. and VP Exploration of Everton, who acts as Everton's Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. 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 Maimón 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.
Everton
Everton and Brigus Gold Corp hold 50-50% interests in the Ampliacion Pueblo Viejo ("APV") and Loma El Mate projects, which are managed by Everton and are contiguous with Barrick's and Goldcorp's US$3 billion Pueblo Viejo gold project. Everton has the right to earn an additional 20% interest in each of the projects by investing further. Planned divestiture of its 100%-owned subsidiary Hays Lake Gold containing the Shoal Lake Gold Project in Kenora, Ontario is expected to provide internal funding to advance the Ampliación Pueblo Viejo project. Everton also holds an interest in the Opinaca region of James Bay, Quebec where the Company has partnered with Aurizon Mines Ltd. who is advancing Everton's interest by funding 100% of all exploration work on one of the largest land packages adjacent to Goldcorp's Eleonore gold deposit.
