- Diamond drilling starts on Mount Benedict Property - T-649 and Super 7 showings

Silver Spruce Resources Inc. is pleased to announce that diamond drilling has
begun on the, T-649 and Super 7 showings on the Mount Benedict Property, located
in the eastern part of the Central Mineral Belt (CMB) of Labrador.


The T-649 and Super 7 showings, located in the summer of 2007 during prospecting
follow up of airborne surveys, are high-grade uranium prospects. At the T-649,
five grab samples taken across a 12 to 14 meter wide outcrop of hematite breccia
averaged 0.5% (10 lbs/ton) U308 and boulders with values over 3.0% (60 lbs/ton)
U308 were located downstream of the showing. Values varying from a few hundred
ppm to 1.0% (20 lbs/ton) U308 were located at the Super 7 prospect in limited
sampling.


The permit for the pre-drilling magnetometer surveys and diamond drilling on the
T-649 and Super 7 showings and the summer work program on the property was
received on February 22, 2008. As required under the permit, a public
information session was held in Makkovik on February 29. A fully winterized camp
had previously been established on a small lake approximately 50 kilometers to
the south of Makkovik on Labrador Inuit Settlement Area (LISA) lands. The
helicopter supported drilling is being monitored by an Inuit environmental
monitor, as required under the permit.


Results for the 2007 prospecting surveys and maps showing the planned drilling
on the Mount Benedict Property are on the company's website
(www.silverspruceresources.com). Results of the exploration will be reported as
received.
