MARMION GOLD PROJECT UPDATE

Two drill holes have now been completed on the West Hammond claim group, part of the Company’s Marmion Gold Project near Atikokan, Ontario. These tested well defined induced polarization (“IP”) targets located on the 3.5 km long shear zone trending through the West Hammond claims. Both holes intersected varying amounts of sulphide mineralization (pyrite) in both altered granite and volcanic rocks along this major structure. Both holes were drilled into IP anomalies under anomalous gold in soils and / or positive grab sample sites identified by the earlier prospecting program (see Sparton news release dated December 10, 2009).

Drilling will resume in early January 2010, after a break for the Christmas holiday season. At least 10 more holes are planned for the initial program.

Sparton’s domestic and international exploration, development, and evaluation programs are being carried out under the direct supervision of A. Lee Barker, P. Eng., P Geol., the Company’s President and CEO who is a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101.
