Spanish Mountain Gold Partners with ANDRITZ

for More Sustainable Mining

Vancouver, B.C. , May 24, 202 4 - Spanish Mountain Gold Ltd. (the " Company" or " Spanish

Mountain Gold ") ( TSX-V: SPA | FSE: S3Y) is pleased to announce it has partnered with

international technology group ANDRITZ and BC Hydro (the province’s utility company) to

reduce the carbon intensity of its proposed Spanish Mountain G old project in the Cariboo

Gold Corridor near Likely, BC, Canada.

With the goal of building the most sustainable gold mine in Canada, Spanish Mountain Gold

will use ANDRITZ’s simulation software for process optimization, energy management, and

operator training.

Peter Mah, Spanish Mountain Gold’s President, CEO and Director comments, “We are very excited

to partner with ANDRITZ, a leading international technology company, who shares the same

values on sustainability as Spanish Mountain Gold. Through this partnership, our aim is to redefine

the mining industry's approach to energy generation, consumption, and environmental

responsibility by lowering carbon intensity to ensure we build the greenest gold processing facility

in the industry.”

Graham Ethier, Vice President Digital Products and Solutions for Mining and Mineral

Processing at ANDRITZ in Canada , said, “We are very excited to be working with Spanish

Mountain Gold on this project. The use of our technologies will help to reduce energy

demand and drive positive changes in industry sustainability .”

ANDRITZ's proprietary IDEAS simulation software will enable Spanish Mountain Gold to

analyze energy consumption for greenfield operations, optimize process flowsheets, and

predict power demand accurately. This proactive approach is crucial for balancing long -

term supply and demand cu rves effectively. Similarly, it can be used to accurately support

water management programs.

In addition, Spanish Mountain Gold envisions using the IDEAS simulation software to train

local operators, supporting employment in the region. Trainees can learn the operation

using a digital twin ahead of workforce recruitment and once employed at an ope ration ,

can continuously improve how processes are controlled.

By harnessing simulation technology, Spanish Mountain Gold aims to achieve sustainable

gold mining while creating opportunities for local communities through skills development

and employment.
