(\"Silver Spruce\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV:SSE)(FRA:S6Q1) announces the approval of our Informe Preventivo by the Mexican government environmental authority, SEMARNAT, in application for our trenching and drilling permit at the Jackie project, Sonora, Mexico.\"We are pleased that the permitting documents were approved by SEMARNAT. As expected, the environmental report prepared by Saul Ruiz and his team at Green and Ceo clearly demonstrated their high-quality technical expertise and was approved on schedule,\" stated Greg Davison, Silver Spruce Vice-President Exploration and Director. \"These approvals clear the way for Silver Spruce and our partner, Colibri Resource Corp. (\"Colibri\") to move forward with our jointly funded trenching and drilling program. The Phase 1 trenching is scheduled to start in April and be completed in May. Receipt of assays are anticipated during May and June.\"\"The field team will have access to a portable X-ray fluorescence tool (\"PXRF\") to test trenching areas for metals and pathfinder elements in parallel with optimization of the anomalous rock sampling locations,\" said Mr. Davison. \"We believe that the PXRF, in conjunction with rock hyperspectral analysis, will provide excellent preliminary geochemical data for vectoring on alteration and mineralization while prioritizing trail and pad building for the Phase 1 drilling.\"Figure 1.
