Spartan Managing Director and CEO, Mr Simon Lawson, commented:

“Spartan has continued to deliver on all fronts during the March Quarter, with more outstanding high- grade results from across the Dalgaranga Gold Project supporting our objective of delineating more high-grade ounces in front of the Project’s existing high-quality infrastructure and laying the foundations for a sustainable long-life gold business.

“Drilling at the high-grade Never Never gold deposit has continued to deliver broad intersections at very impressive grades, such as an uncut intercept of 15.85m grading 136.80g/t gold including 2.50m grading 697.00g/t gold, reinforcing the deposit’s exceptional endowment.

“Underpinned by the success of our drilling programs to date, we have recently reported an updated JORC Exploration Target for the Never Never deposit of 8.1 to 9.9 million tonnes grading between 5.8 and 6.7g/t gold for 1.6 to 1.9 million ounces of contained gold.

“We’re also continuing to see very exciting results from other deposits surrounding the Dalgaranga processing plant, with high-grade results reported from West Winds, Four Pillars and Sly Fox during the reporting period. These results will all contribute towards Our next Resource update for the Dalgaranga Project, which is scheduled for delivery by mid-year.

“With the Company now approaching a critical mass of high-grade gold ounces at Dalgaranga, we have continued to progress mining study work throughout the Quarter to consider the optimal pathway for a return to production.

“As we continue to map this pathway, we were absolutely delighted to appoint Craig Jones as our Chief Operating Officer earlier this month. Craig has an outstanding operational track record – with previous senior roles at Poseidon Nickel, Bellevue Gold and Northern Star Resources – and will be an invaluable asset to Spartan as we work to convert our exploration success into profitable production.

“We were also very pleased to welcome Deanna Carpenter to the Board during the Quarter as a Non- Executive Director. Deanna has extensive experience across equity capital markets, mergers & acquisitions, governance, risk management and corporate compliance and will be a valuable addition to our Board moving forward. We would also like to sincerely thank outgoing Director, John Hodder, who stepped down during the Quarter, for his significant contribution to the Company’s growth and development.

“Looking to the coming months, we have an incredibly busy period ahead, with four drill rigs currently on site, our next Resource update underway and feasibility studies advancing on multiple fronts.”

Top Stories This Week: Gold Price Rises, Trump Talks Tariffs, Trudeau Resigns

Gold was on the rise during the first full week of the new year, with futures ending above US$2,715 per ounce.

The yellow metal is seeing support from a variety of factors, including turmoil related to incoming US President Donald Trump. CNN reported on Wednesday (January 8) that Trump is considering declaring a national economic emergency in order to legally justify a wide-ranging set of tariffs on both ally and adversary countries.

Trump's team hasn't confirmed this plan, but it would allow him to build a tariff program via the International Economic Emergency Powers Act (IEEPA), which gives the president the ability to manage imports during a national emergency.
