Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 26, 2019) - Spearmint Resources Inc. (CSE: SPMT) (OTC Pink: SPMTF) (FSE: A2AHL5) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has acquired the Perron-East Gold Prospects consisting of 4 mineral claim blocks covering 2,862 acres located in the Abitibi greenstone belt of northwestern Quebec. These new claims are situated in the direct vicinity of Amex Exploration Inc.'s Perron property and past-producing Normetal mine, and one claim block is directly bordering Osisko Metals Inc. The newly acquired Perron-East Gold property covers prospective ground for orogenic gold and polymetallic VMS-(volcanogenic massive sulphide)-style mineralization in a region well known for its gold occurrences and historical production.
James Nelson, President of Spearmint, stated, "The acquisition of the Perron-East property is an exciting addition to the Spearmint portfolio. Amex Exploration's Perron property has recently experienced substantial drilling success and has identified what appears to be a new high-grade gold district. We are pleased to now have a footprint in this expanding gold region in Quebec, at a time when we look forward to results from Spearmint's ongoing work program in BC. Management is currently formulating plans for this new prospect."
