EV Resources (ASX:EVR) has confirmed two structurally controlled mineral systems directly overlying historic mine workings at its 100%-owned Milton and Dollar Projects in Nye County, Nevada, after digging through geochemical results from its maiden high-density soil sampling program this week.

These findings “establish a technical foundation” for the explorer as it looks to jump into the Western supply chain with its U.S.-based critmins projects.
The comprehensive grid survey was made up of 567 soil samples and included 324 samples collected at Milton and 243 at Dollar, grid-spaced at 100-metre lines with 25-metre stations targeting C-horizon residual regolith. Analytical data has been processed via ALS Laboratories’ 50-element aqua regia package.
At Milton, geochemical fingerprinting outlined a continuous, 1,100-metre-long anomalous pathfinder corridor with gold, arsenic, antimony, mercury, and thallium.
The path aligns directly with mapped north-south jasperoid trends and hydrothermal replacement bodies in Triassic Luning Formation carbonates, EVR has confirmed. Mapping highlighted 22 standalone samples in the highest 90th percentile decile for all five classic pathfinder elements simultaneously.
Over at Dollar, high-resolution sampling mapped two distinct systems across a more complex sedimentary-volcanic-intrusive environment.
The first was the “Dollar Mine Node,” a northern gold-arsenic-antimony system sitting directly over historic surface structures; the second, the “Resurrection Node,” is a southern polymetallic silver-lead-zinc system located near historic shaft PB39, approximately 200 metres south of the Dollar Mine Node.
EVR now plans to stage field teams to conduct high-density channel and rock-chip sampling across the exposed ridges at Milton and copper breccias at Dollar.
The Oz explorer is also planning high-resolution ground electrical geophysical surveys across the Milton trend to find fluid conduits, faults, and sulphide concentrations at depth. This will be synthesised with historical records to design a prioritised maiden diamond and RC scout drilling program at both.
EVR has been 0.6cps to lunchtime today.
