Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 2, 2022) - Spearmint Resources Inc. (CSE: SPMT) (OTC Pink: SPMTF) (FSE: A2AHL5) (the "Company" or "Spearmint") is pleased to announce that the maiden drill program is now underway on the 100-percent owned "Goose Gold Project" directly bordering New Found Gold Corp.'s Queensway project in Newfoundland (see map below). The maiden drill program on the Goose Gold Project will consist of up to 1,000 meters of NQ diamond drilling. Management cautions that past results or discoveries on properties in proximity to Spearmint may not necessarily be indicative to the presence of mineralization on the Company's properties.

James Nelson, President of Spearmint Resources, stated, "We are pleased to commence the much-anticipated maiden drill program on our 'Goose Gold Project' directly bordering New Found Gold Corp.'s Queensway project. Not only do we border New Found Gold, which is one of the most exciting new high-grade gold discoveries in the world, but our 'Goose Gold Project' is approximately 1 km from their 'Keats Zone' discovery making this one of the closest projects to their discovery. This maiden drill program is funded with flow-through funds on hand which included an investment by certain funds managed by Sprott Asset Management LP. Mr. Sprott is also one of the largest shareholders of New Found Gold. Spearmint also recently announced a major upgrade to our resource estimate in Nevada on our McGee Lithium Clay Deposit, having more than doubled the previous amount of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) to 1,369,000 indicated tonnes and 723,000 inferred tonnes of LCE for a total of 2,092,000 tonnes of LCE. We feel the second half of 2022 could have a significant impact for our shareholders."
