Spanish Mountain Gold Announces Plans for Resource Expansion
Vancouver, B.C. ‐ Spanish Mountain Gold Ltd. (“Spanish Mountain” or the “ Company”) (TSX‐V: SPA) is
pleased to announce plans for a major drill program intended to lead to a potential expansion to the pit‐
delineated mineral resource. The Company previously announced in a news release dated July 28, 2020
that Phase 1 of its Spanish Mountain gold project (the “Project”) is fully funded to be “shovel ready”.
The recently completed private placement allows the Company to simultaneously pursue the additional
objective of rapid resource expansion.
Management has immediately activated plans to add a drilling campaign to the 2020 summer field
program. The drilling will strategically focus on areas in the Main Zone where gold mineralization is
expected to expand the Project’s overall mineral resource. The Company believes the mineral deposit
comprising the Main Zone is highly prospective and may lead to a further drilling program next year. The
drilling initiative will be fully funded from currently availab le cash. Additional details of the program will
be announced as they are finalized.
The planned program does not currently cover the Phoenix Zone, w h i c h i s l o c a t e d l e s s t h a n t w o
kilometers from the Main Zone. Previous drilling at the Phoeni x Zone revealed a broad northwest trend
to the mineralization along a 3,500 m long corridor, more than three times the strike length of the Main
Zone. The trend remains open and untested to the northwest and southeast. The Company’s technical
team will investigate potential targets within this new zone, which may be pursued in future drilling
exercises.
Larry Yau, CEO, commented: “With no doubt, we are now fully funded to execute our strategy t o
demonstrate our Project’s robust economic value and its vast po tential. We look forward to aggressively
advancing our Project with the dual objectives of fast tracking Phase 1 to be ‘shovel ready’ and
significantly expanding the mineral resource.”
