About Spanish Mountain Gold
Spanish Mountain Gold Ltd. is focused on advancing its flagship Spanish Mountain gold project in southern central British Columbia. The Company has adopted a two-zone project approach in which the pit-delineated higher grade core (the First Zone) of the multi-million ounce resource is expected to sustain a robust stand-alone operation exceeding 24 years. The potential viability of the First Zone has been demonstrated in a Preliminary Economic Assessment completed in 2017. Additionally, the resource ounces not included in the PEA (i.e. the Second Zone) as well as the mineralization identified along the Phoenix corridor present future opportunities for the Company. Additional information about the Company is available on its website: www.spanishmountaingold.com.
