BEDFORD, NS / ACCESSWIRE / November 25, 2021 / Silver Spruce Resources, Inc. ("Silver Spruce" or the "Company") (TSXV:SSE)(FRA:S6Q1) reports the following update on the Pino de Plata project, Chihuahua, Mexico.

"We have receipt of flight data from our LiDAR survey and are updating the Pino de Plata technical database while negotiations remain ongoing for an access agreement with the landowner to allow drilling on several highly promising silver targets," said Greg Davison, Silver Spruce Vice-President Exploration and Director. "The new LiDAR data shown in this release provides high resolution topography for the proposed drilling, structural lineament mapping and future exploration programs."

"We submitted another offer sheet to the landowner during September, received positive feedback on the benefits of the potential terms of the agreement and remain confident that a mutually beneficial solution to long-term right of access to Pino de Plata will be achieved," said Mr. Davison. "We appreciate the understanding and support of our shareholders throughout this drawn-out negotiation, and we believe the project value will be worth our investment in time, effort and patience. We continue to maintain our communication with the technical team and drill contractors in Mexico to expedite our exploration program on Pino de Plata upon signing of an agreement with the landowner."

The Company is engaging on a regular basis, through our Hermosillo-based counsel, with a representative of the landowner since the registration of the claim ownership and the Agreement (Press Release - December 24, 2020) inherent in the terms under consideration.

As per the terms of the Agreement, it remains subject to force majeure until access to field exploration, including diamond drilling, is granted by the landowner.

The Company remains current on payment of the requisite property taxes (2^nd semester 2021 paid) on Pino de Plata and looks forward to advancing its proposed and fully permitted Phase 1 exploration drilling program. Further updates will be provided to shareholders in due course.

Exploration Update

The Company retained Eagle Mapping Ltd. ("Eagle Mapping") to conduct a LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) survey over the Property. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the Property exhibits moderate to steep topographic relief over the areas of the known mineralization.

Eagle Mapping collected LiDAR data and aerial photography from a nominal flight elevation of 5000 feet (1500 metres) at a minimum density of 8 ppm (pulses/m²) with expected accuracies of ±15 cm in the vertical and ±30 cm in the horizontal. Colour aerial photography were orthorectified to the LiDAR base earth model with a 12 cm pixel resolution. Digital elevation (DEM) and digital surface (DSM) models with contours at 1 metre were generated. The LASer (LAS) point cloud with classified bare earth and metadata final report are contained in the deliverables. The LAS format is an open binary file format designed for the interchange and archiving of LiDAR point cloud data and regarded as an industry standard for LiDAR data.

The Eagle Mapping team mobilized from Mexico City with a local flight base from Ciudad Obregón, southern Sonora, Mexico. The LiDAR survey data were processed and the final batch of files were received in late May. Data compilation was deferred until Property negotiations showed signs of advancement in September.

Examples of the LiDAR maps of the Pino de Plata claims with Phase 1 drill hole collars are shown in Figures 3 and 4. Surface topography with and without 1 metre contours is displayed.

Project Background

Pino de Plata is located within the western portion of the Sierra Madre Occidental Volcanic Complex within the prominent northwest-trending "Sonora Gold Belt" of northern Mexico and parallel to the precious metals-rich Mojave-Sonora Megashear.

The 397-hectare Pino de Plata Ag-Pb-Zn-Cu-Au concessions are strategically located only fifteen (15) kilometres west from Coeur Mining Inc.'s ("Coeur") Palmarejo open pit and underground operations and is largely surrounded by Coeur through its 2014 acquisition of the adjacent San Miguel Project via Paramount Gold and Silver. The Property has supported small scale historical production of high-grade mineralization from artisanal workings, though modern exploration is limited to Silver Spruce's 2016-2019 programs, and, of principal note, the project has not yet been drilled.

The project area is known to host widespread mineralization at surface with silver values, on average, of greater than 50 g/t Ag, with local targets >500 g/t Ag.

Three outcropping target types with attendant moderate to intense alteration include disseminated epithermal, carbonate replacement and significant vein mineralization, each providing high priority, shallow drill targets.
