Spanish Mountain Gold Executes Strategy for Achieving Major Project Milestones
Vancouver, B.C. ‐ Spanish Mountain Gold Ltd. (“Spanish Mountain” or the “ Company”) (TSX‐V: SPA) is
pleased to announce that preparations have commenced for this summer's field work. This work will
advance its Spanish Mountain gold project (the “Project”) based on the 10,000 tonnes‐per‐day concept
outlined in a Preliminary Econom ic Assessment ("PEA"), the resu lts of which were announced in a news
release dated October 23, 2019. The PEA is based on the propos ed first phase (Phase I) of the Project
that would process an average of 1 g/t gold for an 11 year peri od. Phase I targets exclusively the near‐
surface/ higher‐grade portion of the mineral deposit, comprising l e s s t h a n 3 0 % o f t h e m e a s u r e d a n d
indicated ounces of the Project’s multi‐million ounce gold reso urce. The current work involves
engineering investigations in preparation for a focused field p rogram this summer that will provide the
data required to further delineate the quality and quantity of the Project’s mineral resource. The
Company expects to mobilize its crews and contractors by mid‐August at its exploration camp near
Likely, B.C. under the safety protocol required by B.C. health authorities in response to the COVID‐19
pandemic.
Management of the Company has set an ambitious goal of achievin g major project milestones within 12
months, including the completion of the Project’s inaugural Preliminary Feasibility Study ("PFS"). The
PFS will include a reserve statement for Phase 1 of the mineral deposit. Further details will be
announced as work progresses rapidly throughout the accelerated timeline.
Larry Yau, CEO, commented: “The recently completed financing ha s secured us the financial resources as
well as the critical endorsement for our project strategy. Wit h both the gold price and our share price
reaching multi‐year highs, I believe we are now well‐positioned to continue delivering the value of our
Project for our shareholders.”
