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.”
