Management Comment

Spartan Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Simon Lawson, said: “These latest drill-holes continue to demonstrate the untapped high-grade gold potential at Dalgaranga. Our drilling at the expanding Never Never Gold Deposit is consistently delivering high-grade gold drill intercepts, week after week, month after month.

“When you combine this with the high-grade intercepts that we’re also seeing from the nearby Four Pillars and West Winds gold prospects – such as 15m @ 6g/t gold including 3.0m @ 23g/t and 20m @ 3.5g/t gold including 6m @ 7g/t respectively, outside existing resources – you can see why we’re so excited about the potential ahead of us!

“We understand better than most just how difficult it is to exist as a gold producer with low grade ore feed and the consequential risk to cash margins. That is why as an exploration business we are focused and committed to finding high-grade ounces, delivering consistent high-grade resource growth and eventually solid high-grade reserves aimed at underpinning long-term, lower-risk re-start of gold production at Dalgaranga.

“These high-grade drill results continue to give us the confidence that we will succeed in our task to deliver value to all of our shareholders, rather than just talk about doing it.”

Côte d'Ivoire: The Golden Frontier of West African Mining

As global investors seek new frontiers in the precious metals sector, Côte d'Ivoire is rapidly emerging as a high-potential gold region in West Africa. This West African nation, known for its stable political climate and pro-mining regulations, is becoming an increasingly attractive destination for gold exploration companies and investors alike.

Côte d'Ivoire's geological landscape is dotted with significant gold deposits within and nearby, including Resolute Mining’s (ASX:RSG,OTC Pink:RMGGF) renowned Syama deposit in Mali with gold resource of 10.3 million ounces, the Sissingué gold mine, which produces 70,000 to 100,000 ounces of gold per year, and Barrick Gold's (TSX:ABX,NYSE:GOLD) prolific Tongon operation.

These substantial resources are just some of the known deposits that underscore the country's potential to become a major player in the global gold-mining industry.

Rich Checkan: US$3,800 Gold a Minimum This Cycle, US$90 Silver “Very Doable”

Rich Checkan, president and COO of Asset Strategies International, explained to the Investing News Network why the gold price fell after the US election, as well as why he thinks the bull market is nowhere near over.

He sees the yellow metal reaching US$3,800 to US$5,700 per ounce during this cycle.

“Post-election we had a selloff, which I think was wonderful and needed and healthy. These are buying opportunities, this is not the end of the bull market — not even close. None of the factors suggesting that are firing right now,” he said.
