EV Resources Commences Drilling at Khartoum Tin-Tungsten Project

EV Resources will begin drilling in the coming week, with the rig expected to arrive at the Khartoum tin-tungsten project in Queensland on June 6. The initial 3,000m RC drilling campaign in the Boulder Prospect area has been planned for some time but has been repeatedly postponed due to the counter-seasonal wet weather.

The Company's drilling will follow up on the five greisen pipes drilled in 2007 and test several new areas not previously drilled based on high surface geochemical sampling. While awaiting the end of the late rainy season rains, the exploration team is evaluating new areas through mapping and rock chip sampling of approximately 200 rock chips.

Adrian Paul, EV Resources' Executive Director, said: "He is delighted to finally commence drill testing as this will be the first drill test of many targets. Historic drilling has identified extensive zones of low to medium grade tin and the current drilling of Khartoum Tin-Tungsten Project is designed to define the extent of this mineralization. In the meantime, the exploration team has been busy evaluating a number of tin and tungsten prospects and we plan to undertake a further drilling program before the end of the year. Samples have been submitted to the laboratory and results from preliminary samples are expected to arrive shortly."

EV is also evaluating historical data from the Stannary Hills and Brownville mining areas for drilling. EV Resources' projects are strategically diversified and include electric vehicle and green technology metals in Australia and lithium in Europe. The Company also holds interests in precious metals projects located in Latin America.

The Company has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Yahua International Investment and Development Company Limited to enter into a strategic partnership to acquire and develop lithium projects and provide zircon concentrates on a global basis. Under the MOU, the parties will enter into a strategic partnership agreement whereby the Company will sell 100% of the lithium concentrate from its lithium projects to Yahua.
