Spanish Mountain Gold Announces PEA for a New Project Concept
Vancouver, BC ‐ Spanish Mountain Gold Ltd. (the “Company”) (TSX‐V: SPA) is pleased to announce that
the Board of Directors has authorized the Company to proceed with a Preliminary Economic
Assessment ("PEA") for the Spanish Mountain Gold Project (the "Project") located in central British
Columbia, Canada. The Company expects the PEA to investigate the potential viability of a mining
operation with the following parameters:
Milling throughput at 10,000 tonnes per day
A proposed pit focused on a higher grade resource and an initial decade of mining operations
In light of the positive results and findings from various field programs conducted during 2018 and the
recently‐announced study for project alternatives, the PEA will assess the potential technical and
economic viability of the new project scenario. As announced in a news release dated August 19, 2019,
the Company has set four key project objectives for the alternate project concept compared to the PEA
that was completed in 2017 for a 20,000 tpd operation as follows:
Lower initial capital cost
Higher process plant feed grades
Refined pit shell that could isolate a higher grade pit‐constrained resource
Improved economic metrics for the Project
CEO Comments

project objectives are attainable and the initial value that the Project can pote ntially deliver during its
first decade of operation.”
