(\"Silver Spruce\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV:SSE)(FRA:S6Q1), with its partner Colibri Resources Corp. (\"Colibri\"), announces that the Company has mobilized its Hermosillo-based team of geologists and support personnel to the Diamante project, and collared the first hole of its 2,000 metre R/C program at the Pillado Au-Ag-Pb-Zn-Cu target (Figure 1).\"We are pleased to begin our maiden exploration drilling program on several highly prospective areas of Diamante. Our first two targets, Pillado and La Prieta, exhibit multiple vein, breccia, disseminated and manto-style mineralization, locally with fault controls parallel to and intersecting high grade polymetallic, silver-gold and base metal-bearing occurrences with historical artisanal mining. Importantly, despite the number and quality of known mineralization targets, there is no recorded historical drilling on Diamante to date,\" stated Greg Davison, Silver Spruce Vice-President Exploration and Director.Figure 1. Reverse circulation drill rig collared on pad #40 north of artisanal underground workings at the Pillado drill target, first DDH on the Diamante 1 concession.Mr. Davison added, \"TRAX equipment and personnel have conducted activities for two weeks on the Pillado and La Prieta targets, under the direction of our exploration point team, to clear access routes and prepare the requisite drill pads. Minera Drilling mobilized from Hermosillo to site on June 15th and currently are collared on Pillado pad #40 located north of the portal. The initial three holes at this location will target the E-W trending, northerly-dipping mineralization. Six additional holes are proposed at Pillado and another eight holes at La Prieta, all of which are oriented to intersect depth projections of known surface and shallow underground mineralization. The program is anticipated to continue for four to five weeks through mid-July 2022. Samples will be screened using pXRF analyses during the on-site logging to provide rapid qualitative data for dynamic decision-making on drill hole planning and depth targeting.
