James Nelson, President of Spearmint, stated, "We are extremely excited to get started on phase two of the work program on our Hammernose project where we had positive gold and copper indicators on last year's program. We were able to outline several areas of anomalous stream sediments and these targets will be our main focus with the goal of defining the highest priority drill targets. We will also spotlight the newly acquired acreage directly bordering Westhaven with strategic sampling and ground truthing. We have witnessed an uptrend in gold and copper trading near multi-year highs and we're excited to start work on multiple projects in our portfolio in the coming weeks and months."
