Spanish Mountain Gold Submits Initial Project Description  

to Commence Environmental Assessment 

Vancouver,  BC ‐   Spanish  Mountain  Gold  Ltd.  (the  “Company”)  (TSX‐V:  SPA)  is  pleased  to  report  the 

submission of the Initial Project Description (IPD) and Early Engagement Plan to the B.C. Environmental 

Assessment Office and Impact Assessment Agency of Canada for the Spanish Mountain Gold Project (the 

"Project") located in British Columbia, Canada.   

The submission of the IPD and Early Engagement Plan formally initiates the Early Engagement phase of 

the  provincial  process  and  the  Planning  phase  of  the  federal  process.   As  announced  on  January  25, 

2022,  this  undertaking  represents  a  milestone  in  the  Company’s  ambitious  action  plan  for  the 

environmental assessment and permitting of the Project.  

The  IPD  provides  an  overview  description  of  the  Company’s  plans  to  develop,  operate,  and  eventually 

decommission the Spanish Mountain Gold Project. The Early Engagement Plan identifies parties with a 

potential interest in the  Project and details the engagement that has already been conducted and any 

issues  or  concerns  that  have  been  raised.   It  also  presents  the  Company’s  plans  to  engage  with 

Indigenous Nations, the public, and government through the initial phases of the EA processes.  

Before the IPD was finalized for submission, it was provided to the three Indigenous Nations on whose 

Traditional  Territories  the  Project  is  located  for  their  review.    The  final  document  has  addressed  or 

reflected  their  review  comments.  The  Company  appreciates  the  diligence  and  the  input  from  the 

Williams  Lake  First  Nation,  Xatśūll  First  Nation,  and  Lhtako  Dené  Nation  and  looks  forward  to  the 

continuation of our collaborative relationships as the EA process moves forward. 

Larry Yau, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We are excited about the submission of the IPD, which 

marks the official commencement of our EA process following the extensive preparations we have put 

into  our  project  over  the  years.   We  are  hopeful  that  this  substantive  groundwork  will  help  us  avoid 

many  potential  pitfalls  in  the  lengthy  and  intricate  process  and  allow  us  to  achieve  the  remaining  EA 

milestones we have targeted for 2022 and beyond.”
