Spanish Mountain Gold Ltd. (the "Company") (TSX-V:SPA) is pleased to announce additional assay results from the reverse circulation drilling program recently completed within the Main Zone of its Spanish Mountain Gold Project (the "Project") located in central British Columbia, Canada.
Highlights of Drilling Results:
- 56.39 metres (m) grading 1.21 grams per tonne (g/t) gold in hole 13SMRC-1181
- 42.67m grading 1.08 g/t and 39.62m grading 0.82 g/t gold in hole 13SMRC-1185
- 10.67m grading 1.82 g/t gold in hole 13SMRC-1186
- 45.72m grading 1.68 g/t gold in hole 13SMRC-1187
- 65.53m grading 0.78 g/t gold in hole 13MRC-1190
Significant assay results are contained in Table 1 appended to this news release. Drilling was carried out in the central portion (Phase 1) of the potential open pit as outlined in the Preliminary Economic Assessment (the "PEA") announced on November 14, 2012. A map showing the location of the reported drill holes is shown in Figure 1 appended to this news release.
Dr. Morris Beattie, Chief Executive Officer, commented "The drilling program was completed early in December 2013. The final assay results are expected in the next few weeks at which time all results will be fully analysed to determine their impact on the project. We have been encouraged by the results to date as they are demonstrating mineable interval lengths of gold grades that are well above the average resource grade as outlined in the PEA. Over the next month we will start to plan our work program for the current year".
Judy Stoeterau, P.Geo., the Company's Vice-President of Geology and the qualified person as defined under National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed the contents of this news release. All samples were assayed at ALS Chemex Laboratory in Vancouver, BC. The Company has retained Discovery Consultants of Vernon, BC, to monitor independently the quality control and quality assurance (QC/QA) data on the Spanish Mountain Gold Project. Analytical precision and accuracy are being measured and monitored by the use of duplicates, prep and pulp samples and by standards (reference material). Possible contamination during the sampling and processing procedures is being monitored by the insertion of blank samples.
