Sparton Resources Announces Positive Initial 2023 Results From Bruell Gold
Project and Welcomes New Director
TORONTO, May 10, 2023 -- Sparton Resources Inc. (SRI: TSX-V) ( the “Company”) is pleased to announce positive early
assay results from Eldorado Gold Corporation’s (“Eldorado”) winter drilling program at the Bruell gold project, east of Val D’Or,
Québec.
Eldorado has completed 8,430 meters of oriented core drilling in 18 (eighteen) holes, in the initial 2023 program at Bruell. The
work tested a variety of targets along a four-kilometer gold mineralization corridor extending from the Bruell 1, and 2 shafts to
the west, eastwards beyond the Avocalon Shaft and past the “Sparton Zone”, located by the Company’s drilling in 2018, to the
new “Penguin Anomaly”, located by Eldorado’s till and soil sampling program in 2020-21. The Penguin Anomaly is about 2
kilometers east of the Sparton Zone.
RESULTS
While core logging is still in progress and most assay data have not yet been received, visible gold was seen in core from Drill
Hole BU- 23-14 at the Penguin Anomaly and priority analyses completed with the following results:
BU-23-14 (azimuth 003
deg, Dip -50 Deg,) 497.2-500.2, 3.0 meters @ 13.77 grams / tonne Au
Including: 497.2-497.7, 0.5 meters @ 73.92 grams/tonne Au
499.7-500.2, 0.5 meters @ 7.95 grams/tonne Au
These results are from what appear to be north-east trending gently dipping quartz tourmaline veins not previously identified on
the property, and Penguin is a new zone not previously identified in historical work at Bruell.
The widths reported above are core lengths and true widths of the zones will be determined by future structural analyses.
Follow up drilling will be determined after Eldorado does a complete review of all results.
QUALITY CONTROL and QUALITY ASSURANCE
Exploration activities on the Bruell project have been conducted under the direct supervision of Eldorado Gold Québec
employee Nathalie Prud'homme, P.Geo. from Eldorado Gold who is a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-
101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"), and has verified and approved, the scientific and technical
disclosure contained in this press release in relation to the Bruell project. Eldorado operates its exploration programs
according to industry best practices and employs rigorous quality assurance and quality control procedures. All results are
based on half-core samples of diamond drill core. Drill core samples were prepared and analyzed at MSA Labs in Val d’Or,
Québec. All gold assays are based on Chrysos PhotonAssay(tm) technology of a 500 gm charge. Certified standard reference
materials, field duplicates and blank samples were inserted regularly and were closely monitored to ensure the quality of the
data.
