(TSXV: SPMC) (OTCQB: SPMEF) (FSE: 6J00) (\"SPMC\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce new exploration work programs are underway at the Anga Project, following surface geochemistry targeting results confirming the Irinke Prospect's priority nature and identifying several new gold prospects extensional to Irinke. Surface sampling will assist with prioritized drill targeting. Cathy Fitzgerald, President and Chief Geologist of the Company, stated, \"As the Company awaits delivery of its brand-new drill rig, we are accelerating exploration across our highly prospective Kainantu Gold District projects. In particular, the new study of all surface samples collected to date at the Anga Project has revealed further exciting targets near our Irinke Prospect, where mineralization of the same nature as K92's Arakompa system returned rock samples up to 3.68 g/t Au. We will be very active sampling across this broad area of gold-mineralization.\" ALS Geoanalytics Advanced Technology Targeting ResultsThe Company engaged ALS Geoanalytics to complete a geochemical study of all soil, stream sediment and rock samples (including historic data) to provide a deeper understanding of geochemical indicators for discovery at the Anga Project. This work has confirmed the K92 Mining Arakompa-like geochemical signature of the Irinke target, providing vectors to further mineralized areas as well as identifying new prospects warranting on-the-ground follow up now underway.
