Silver Spruce Resources and Aroland First Nation announce completion of archeological and cultural study for Melchett Lake Ag-Zn-Au-Cu Project, Ontario; exploration permit granted for recent mining claim acquisitions

BEDFORD, NS / ACCESSWIRE / September 17, 2024 / (TSXV:SSE) - Silver Spruce Resources Inc. ("Silver Spruce" or the "Company") and the Aroland First Nation ("Aroland") are pleased to jointly announce the completion and receipt of Western Heritage's independent Phase 1 archeological and cultural study on the Melchett Lake area. The confidential report was reviewed and accepted by Aroland and was submitted to the Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport as a condition of licensing in accordance with Part VI of the Ontario Heritage Act.

"This archaeological assessment provided an opportunity for direct input by Aroland in documentation of the historical, cultural and spiritual importance and heritage values of the Melchett Lake area. This will allow both parties to have available current information, as deemed necessary by Aroland, with respect to certain values in the land held by Aroland prior to execution of any Exploration Activities," stated Greg Davison, Silver Spruce VP Exploration and Director.

The Company entered into an exploration agreement by which Aroland in exercising its inherent jurisdiction has issued its permit and approval to Silver Spruce to undertake mineral exploration under the conditions set out in the agreement (see Press Release - September 23, 2021). Following receipt of the ENDM exploration permit on January 14, 2022, Silver Spruce with consent of Aroland, retained Western Heritage to undertake the archaeological assessment as required in the agreement with the First Nation.

Melchett Lake is an advanced precious and base metal property located in the Thunder Bay Mining District (the "Property"). The Property lies 110 km north of Geraldton and 60 km north of Nakina, in part of Aroland First Nation's ("Aroland") territory known as Melchett Lake, in northwestern Ontario.
