Spearmint Successfully Completes Phase Two of Its Work Program on the Hammernose Gold Project in the Spences Bridge Gold Belt of BC
Vancouver, August 4, 2020 - Spearmint Resources Inc. (CSE: SPMT) (OTC Pink: SPMTF) (FSE: A2AHL5) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed its second work program on the 'Hammernose' Gold Project. Located in the Spences Bridge Gold Belt (SBGB) of Southern British Columbia, the Hammernose consists of 8,685 acres directly bordering Westhaven Gold Corp.'s (WHN.v) Shovelnose Property. All the creeks on the three tenures were sampled and all outcrops and areas of interest were geologically mapped and sampled by Rio Minerals Limited. The samples have been hand-delivered to ActLabs in Kamloops and we should have the results in 4-8 weeks. On July 9, 2020, Westhaven announced drill results that returned 34.00 metres (m) of 1.21 g/t gold (Au) and 3.68 g/t silver (Ag), including: 1.00m of 15.70 g/t Au and 77.50 g/t Ag within 200m of surface at Shovelnose. Management cautions that past results or discoveries on properties in proximity to Spearmint may not necessarily be indicative to the presence of mineralization on the Company's properties.
James Nelson, President of Spearmint, stated "We are pleased to have successfully completed our next phase on the Hammernose. This phase will help to define the highest priority drill targets. As we await those results, the Company is well funded to aggressively move forward on multiple other projects that include starting a drill program on our Clayton Valley lithium project, in addition to starting work on our Perron-East gold project in the vicinity of Amex Exploration. Gold prices have recently made all-time highs and most commodities are continuing their uptrends. The weeks ahead are expected to be the most active the Company has experienced to date."
