Silver Spruce Samples More High Grade Gold Surface Mineralization at Cocula Advanced Gold Project
Silver Spruce Samples More High Grade Gold Surface
Mineralization at Cocula Advanced Gold Project
September 12, 2019 - Bridgewater, NS - (TSXV:SSE) – Silver Spruce Resources Inc. ("Silver
Spruce" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received gold, silver and base metal
assays from new rock chip samples taken from the surface at the Cocula gold project in Jalisco
State, Mexico, as part of the due diligence program being conducted by the Company.
Nine out of 26 rock chip samples recently taken from surface outcrop returned gold assay values
of 0.88 g/t gold up to 12.55 g/t Au. These recent sample assays continue to confirm the presence
of widespread gold mineralization at surface.
Selected assays from the Cocula sampling program.

The samples were taken during a two week mapping program over the main mineralized area at
Cocula. Three types of spatially related mineralization/alteration were recognized: a westernmost
area of massive and milky quartz veining with pyrite, galena and oxide copper minerals hosted by
chloritized andesite with disseminated pyrite and local epidote interpreted as propylitic alteration.
Quartz types and textures are believed to be indicative of higher temperature s. A central zone of
quartz matrix breccia and stockwork quartz veining with iron oxides and jarosite exhibits
epithermal textures and less pyrite and galena consistent with lower temperatures of formation ,
The easternmost zone of crystalline quartz- and massive to bladed barite veining with manganese
oxides that may postdate other mine ralization. All of these zones are associated with gold
mineralization and may represent a zoned system. To the south of the main stockwork zone , the
wallrock adjacent to the main structure are strongly argillized. This zone overlaps the stockwork
mineralization and extends along the main NW-SE mineralized structure.
The recent work indicates that past drilling may have inadequately explored the geometry of the
mineralization over several targets . The previous drilling was done by the reverse circulation
method and no structural information was obtained. Many of the drill holes in the main structure

are vertical and do not cross structures interpreted as steeply dipping whereas d rill holes to the
west are angled, though too short to intersect the main mineralization tested by the vertical holes.
The Company intends to test these areas during its first drill program.
Quality Assurance and Quality Control
Samples collected by ProDeMin on behalf of Silver Spruce were analyzed by ALS Global, a
worldwide analytical testing laboratory well -known in the exploration and mining community.
Samples submitted to ALS consisted of rock chip samples that were analyzed for gold by the Au-
AA26 method, consisting of a 50 g fire assay with an AA finish. Silver and base metals were
analyzed with the 25 gram ME-TL43 package using aqua regia digestion and ICP-MS finish. Blind
control samples consisting of a standard pulp and a coarse blank were inserted in the sample stream
and laboratory also uses standards and blanks as part of its routine QA-QC program.
