Project Update

As highlighted in our October 19, 2010 press release, Yichang Xingfa Group Company ('Xingfa') has been authorized by Yichang City to acquire 95.9% ownership of Hubei Yichang Phosphate Chemicals Industry's ('YPCC'), Spur's joint venture partner in China.

Xingfa is an experienced and financially strong group that is well connected in Hubei Province. Spur believes that the Xingfa takeover of YPCC will strengthen the YMC project with Xingfa's experience in mining of phosphates, production of phosphoric acid and production of high value added chemical phosphates nicely complementing Spur's expertise in fertilizer production and marketing.

Spur is actively working with YPCC and Xingfa to ensure that the appropriate Chinese government administrative procedures are in place to finalize the transfer of the mining licenses and complete all remaining Registered Capital contributions.

More information can be found in the audited financial statements and the related notes and the management discussions and analysis of the period filed with Canadian regulators on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the company's website: www.spur-ventures.com
