Everton Resources Inc. ("Everton")(TSX VENTURE:EVR) (OTCQX:EVRRF)
(FRANKFURT:ERV) is pleased to announce that its partner Aurizon Mines Ltd
("Aurizon") identified several new gold targets on the Opinaca and Wildcat
properties in 2012. The upcoming 2013 work program will include a diamond
drilling phase. The Opinaca and Wildcat properties are located near Goldcorp's
Eleonore gold deposit in the James Bay region of Quebec.


Aurizon recently informed Everton that it will renew its option for a second
year on the Wildcat (1 to 7) and the Opinaca (A, B and B-North) properties. The
Opinaca properties are subject to a three-way agreement with Azimut Exploration
Inc (TSXV: AZM) (see press release dated September 16, 2010). Azimut and Everton
currently hold a 50% interest these properties.


Andre Audet, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation said
"Everton is pleased that Aurizon is aggressively moving the project forward and
continuing with its earn in option for a 3rd year and is planning on intensive
winter drill program in 2013. The results continue to show the potential for
discoveries on these properties adjacent to the multimillion ounces Eleonore
Mine being developed by Goldcorp and going in production on 2014".


Aurizon's extensive 2012 program comprised:

On Opinaca Properties:



--  622 line-kilometres of helicopter-borne magnetic-EM survey 
--  684 soil samples 
--  243 rock grab samples 
--  290 channel samples 
--  93 till samples 



On Wildcat Properties:



--  728 line-kilometres of helicopter-borne magnetic-EM survey 
--  303 soil samples 
--  763 rock grab samples 
--  15 channel samples 
--  146 till samples 



The main results from the 2011 and 2012 exploration campaign are the discovery
of three significant outcropping targets-the D8, Eric and Penelope prospects-on
the Opinaca B property. Two additional targets-Baileys prospect on Wildcat 3
property and Autor prospect on Wildcat 6 property-are characterized mainly by
gold bearing boulders with associated till gold anomalies. These targets,
located along an east-west structure at the boundary between the Opinaca and La
Grande geological subprovinces, share similarities with the geological context
of the Eleonore deposit.


D8 target

The D8 trench displays a 20-metres-wide sheared and altered sedimentary unit
with amphibolite and quartz-tourmaline veinlets. Best channel sampling results
include 2.3 g/t Au over 1.0 metre and 0.55 g/t Au over 4.0 metres. This area
presents gold anomalies in soil and till.


Eric target

Located less than 1 kilometre north of D8, eight (8) bedrock samples returned
values above 0.1 g/t Au, including 2 samples above 0.5 g/t Au, up to 1.56 g/t
Au. The gold-bearing samples were collected within a kilometric-scale arsenic
and gold geochemical target in soil. Mineralization is typically related to
calc-silicate altered sediments and arsenopyrite-tourmaline-bearing pegmatites. 


Penelope target

Located about 1 kilometre west of the Eric and D8 targets, ten (10) bedrock
samples returned values above 0.1 g/t Au, including four (4) with values above
0.5 g/t Au up to 4.26 g/t Au. Mineralization is associated with
quartz-tourmaline veins and veinlets. 


Autor target

Located halfway between Eric target and Aurizon's Brad target along the same
corridor, the Autor target presents the best gold soil anomalies coupled with Au
anomalies in till and bottom lake sediments. Thirty-two (32) boulder samples
returned values above 0.1 g/t Au, including six (6) with values above 0.5 g/t Au
up to 3.81 g/t Au. Three (3) bedrock samples returned values above 0.1 g/t Au,
including one sample at 0.93 g/t Au. Gold is associated with both calc-silicate
altered sediments with low percentage of sulphides and intense silica-chlorite
altered sediments with local tourmaline and locally abundant pyrite. Arsenic
enrichment is much more sporadic in this area.


Baileys target

Located about 7 kilometers north-west of the Claude showing, one (1) boulder
sample returned 4.11 g/t Au, 1.5 kilometers west of an historic gold bearing
boulder. Gold is associated with a garnet and biotite altered paragneiss with 5
percent sulphides including pyrite-pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite mineralization.
The mineralized structure seems to pass underneath a nearby lake. This area
represents a distinct corridor than the one including all the above targets but
share similarities in term of gold and arsenic anomalies in till, bottom lake
sediments and soil geochemistry.


Property-scale exploration 

Work performed at the scale of the properties, including the collection of till
samples and a helicopter-borne magnetic-EM survey, will be used to further
define drilling targets. The results of these surveys are currently under
review. The Smiley prospect (at Opinaca A), Claude prospect (at Opinaca B) and
Conglo prospect (at Wildcat 1) both discovered during previous programs, are
still considered very attractive drilling targets.


Rock samples were sent to ALS Minerals in Val-d'Or, Quebec, and were assayed
using an ICP method. Soil samples were assayed using the MMI method by SGS
Minerals Services in Toronto, Ontario. The helicopter-borne survey was performed
by Fugro Airborne Surveys based in Mississauga, Ontario. Martin Demers, P.Geo.,
Aurizon's Exploration Manager and a qualified person as defined by National
Instrument 43-101, has reviewed the data disclosed in this release.
