OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Dec. 9, 2008) - Everton Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:EVR)(FRANKFURT:ERV) ("Everton" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the start of a 1,500 metre diamond drill program on the 66-km2 Fresso concession, located in northwestern Dominican Republic. The 5 to 10-hole drill program is designed to test coinciding induced polarization (IP) and geochemical anomalies.

Everton has the option to acquire a 100% interest in the Fresso concession over a period of up to two years.

This program is a follow-up to a comprehensive surface evaluation program on the Fresso concession, which included a detailed systematic soil and rock sampling program, stream sampling and geological mapping.

In November 2008, Everton announced soil anomaly results that included peak values of 1.9 g/t and 0.98 g/t gold; and 0.12% and 0.13% copper. These anomalies coincide with strongly silicified, gossanous chert & andesite and copper oxide mineral showings. To date, selected rock grab samples have yielded values as high as 9.6 g/t gold; and 4.15% and 3.9% copper.

Core samples will be prepared at the ACME Analytical Laboratories Ltd. facilities in Maimon, Dominican Republic and assayed at ACME Labs in Vancouver, B.C. Results are expected by February 2009.
