Spearmint Resources Inc. (CSE: SPMT) (OTC Pink: SPMTF) (FSE: A2AHL5) (the “Company”) wishes to announce that based on the initial indications of the first six holes drilled in Nevada, the Company has decided to extend the drill program to 2 additional holes. Spearmint has encountered visual clay in each of the first six holes and has already rushed the first three holes in for assaying. The Company has received approval from the BLM to extend this program.
James Nelson, President of Spearmint, stated ,”We are pleased to extend this drill program. We are very encouraged to have encountered visual clay in each of the first six holes drilled and look forward to adding more holes to this program. This is the most ambitious drill program that Spearmint has undertaken and we are very optimistic about what we have encountered to date. We eagerly look forward to the first rushed assays on this project. We feel that battery metals will have a strong resurgence in 2021 especially in light of the explosive growth of the EV sector globally in 2020. Not only has the massive boom started to fully take hold, but Elon Musk stated at the Tesla Battery Day September 22, 2020 his desire to acquire lithium clay deposits in Nevada. These comments have put a large microscope on the few known lithium deposits in Nevada, of which Spearmint is the only company currently drilling into one of these known formations. Not only is Spearmint successfully drilling for lithium right now in Nevada, we are active on three separate gold programs in BC, Quebec and Newfoundland and expect results back on each of these this month. Clearly Spearmint is one of the most active junior mining companies in the market right now.”
Mr. Greg Thomson, P.Geo., a director of Spearmint and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical disclosure contained within this news release.
