(TSXV:SSE)(FRA:S6Q1) (\"Silver Spruce\" or the \"Company\"), with its partner Colibri Resources Corp. (\"Colibri\"), announces that their Hermosillo-based team of geologists and service contractors has completed the first R/C drilling program on the Diamante project. Nineteen (19) holes were drilled in its 2,005-metre program at the La Prieta (10) and El Pillado (9) Au-Ag-Pb-Zn-Cu targets (Figure 1, Table 1). The drill-ready Diamante gold-silver (Au-Ag) property (\"Diamante\" or the \"Property\") is located 5 km northwest of Tepoca, and 165 km southeast of the capital city of Hermosillo, eastern Sonora, Mexico.\"We are pleased to complete successfully our maiden exploration drilling program on two highly prospective areas of Diamante. Our first two drill targets, El Pillado and La Prieta, exhibited multiple intersections of sulphide mineralization, locally with fault controls, comprising polymetallic vein-style occurrences within and adjacent to historical artisanal mining,\" stated Greg Davison, Silver Spruce Vice-President Exploration and Director.Figure 1.

Mineralized sections occurred over individual 1.5 metre sampling intervals and, with anomalous geochemical haloes, over contiguous intervals up to 21 metres. From one to seven discrete pXRF anomalies per hole, based on 90th and 95th percentiles for Pb, Zn, As, Ba and Sr values, were indicated at both El Pillado and La Prieta,\" Mr. Davison added. \"The initial batch of data from ALS Global (\"ALS\") is in hand and under review for the El Pillado drilling prior to release. We anticipate receipt and release of the remaining La Prieta geochemical results from ALS shortly concurrent with interpretation of the geological sections from both targets. C...
