SILVER SPRUCE ANNOUNCES MOU WITH CHINA UNIVERSITY OF MINING AND TECHNOLOGY FOR JOINT GEOLOGICAL RESEARCH

Silver Spruce Resources Inc. has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with China University of Mining and Technology (CUMT) to engage in joint geological research, fieldwork and educational studies on Silver Spruce's properties.

CUMT was founded in 1909 and is one of China's premier mining universities, with over 30,000 students enrolled. Execution of the MOU followed a seminar at CUMT's main campus in Xuzhou, China, on Oct. 18, 2019, when director Kevin R. O'Connor introduced Silver Spruce's three current projects and when chief executive officer Karl Boltz participated by live video.

"We are honoured to have introduced our projects to professors and PhD students at CUMT," commented Mr. Boltz. "We look forward to them visiting our properties to engage in joint research. We are hopeful the perspective that they bring to our projects and their collective network of mining contacts in China will be of benefit to Silver Spruce over the long term."

Under the terms of the non-binding MOU, the parties will look for mutually convenient times when professors and graduate students of CUMT can visit Silver Spruce's properties to engage in joint geological research, fieldwork and educational exchanges.

"I was fortunate to have been introduced to CUMT by the chairman of one of China's largest construction equipment companies," commented Mr. O'Connor. "During my 11 years working in China as an attorney for multinational companies, I was involved in numerous construction and mining equipment projects. My intent is to explore additional co-operation opportunities involving China for Silver Spruce. The appetite for precious and industrial metals in China appears immense."
