Everton Resources Inc. ("Everton" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:EVR)(FRANKFURT:ERV)(OTCQX:EVRRF) is pleased to report that Hecla Quebec
Inc. ("Hecla"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hecla Mining Company, has announced
its intent to renew for a third year its option on the Opinaca A & B and Wildcat
(1 to 7) gold properties located in the Eleonore mining camp, James Bay region,
Quebec. 


Hecla has the option to earn up to 60% interest in the Opinaca properties from
Everton and Azimut Exploration Inc., each company currently owning a 50%
interest in the properties. Helca has the option to earn up to a 65% interest in
the Wildcat properties from Everton. Everton has a 100% undivided interest in
the Wildcat properties.


According to the original agreement (see press release of September 16, 2010),
Aurizon Mines (now Hecla) was required to perform $6,000,000 of work
expenditures on Opinaca including 5,000 metres of diamond drilling over four
years to earn an initial 50% interest and was required to perform $3,250,000 of
expenditures on Wildcat. While the terms to earn the initial 50% interest on
both the Opinaca and Wildcat properties remain the same, the work schedule has
been extended by two years. So far, approximately $3,200,000 has been spent on
Opinaca and $ 1,800,000 on Wildcat. 


The Opinaca A & B and Wildcat (1 to 7) properties are in close proximity to
Goldcorp's Eleonore major deposit where gold reserves and resources are
estimated as follows: probable reserves of 12.48 Mt at 7.56 g/t Au (3.03 Moz of
gold), measured and indicated resources of 1.36 Mt at 10.95 g/t Au (0.48 Moz of
gold), and inferred resources of 12.25 Mt at 10.60 g/t Au (4.17 Moz of gold) (as
of December 31, 2012, Goldcorp website). Production at Eleonore is scheduled to
begin in 2014 with an estimated average of 600,000 ounces of gold per year.


Andre Audet, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company said, "Everton
is pleased that Hecla is moving the project forward, continuing with its earn in
option for a 3rd year and planning an exploration program in 2014."
