SSE Silver Spruce Resources Inc

Silver Spruce Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SSE)(FRANKFURT:S6Q) reports that it
has optioned the Rambler South gold property located on the Baie Verte peninsula
in north central Newfoundland. The property hosts three areas of structurally
related gold mineralization - the SB gold in till anomaly, and the Krissy and
Brass Buckle gold trends. The property totals 56 claims (1,400 ha) and was
optioned from Northeast Exploration Services, Krinor Resources Inc. and Peter
Dimmell (PMD). PMD is an insider, as a director and the VP Exploration of Silver
Spruce. Krinor Resources is a company owned by PMD and his wife and, as such,
the option agreement is subject to TSX-V acceptance.


Terms of the option to earn a 100% interest, subject to a 2.5% NSR with a 1.0%
buyback for $1.5 M, are:




                           Cash        Shares   Work Commitment
On signing:             $15,000       300,000          $100,000

2nd Anniversary         $50,000       400,000          $250,000
Totals                  $95,000     1,050,000          $500,000



In addition, a yearly advance royalty payment, deducted from future NSR
payments, of $10,000 per year, is payable from the 4th anniversary on.


The property is located on the Baie Verte peninsula in north-central
Newfoundland, approximately 20 kilometres from the town of Baie Verte. It is
road accessible via the Gull Pond Resource Road which cuts the northern portion
of the property and extends to the southern part of the property along the Brass
Buckle trend.


The host rocks are the Pacquet Harbour Group (PHG), mainly mafic volcanic units,
the host for the gold rich Rambler deposits located to the north, which are cut
by intrusive units - the Burlington Granodiorite to the west and a number of
quartz porphyry dikes thought to be related to the Cape Brule Porphyry, to the
east. All gold mineralized zones, from north to south - the Krissy, SB and Brass
Buckle, are structurally related. Gold mineralization at the Krissy and Brass
Buckle zones, both of which have visible gold, is associated with sulphide rich
quartz veins emplaced along shear zones and related to the intrusion of linear
quartz porphyry bodies. Values vary from background (100 ppb or less) to 12.5
g/t / 1.5 m - Krissy channel and 65 g/t over 1 m (including 280 g/t over 0.25 m)
- Brass Buckle - DDH. The South Brook till anomaly appears to be related to
shearing along the southern contact of the northeasterly trending "tongue" of
Burlington Granodiorite that cuts the PHG to the northeast of Gull Pond. Four
till exploration programs, carried out from 1989 to 2007, defined a gold in till
anomaly, 3.5 km long and up to 1.5 km wide to the south of the "tongue" which
gave gold grain counts up to 200 grains and background values less than 10
grains with many at 0 grains, with all samples processed by Overburden Drilling
Management of Nepean, ON. The assumed source area, defined in 2007 by close
spaced (50 m) sampling, gave gold grain counts up to 1,360 grains with 95% being
pristine, lies along the south side of the "tongue" and is believed to be a
chlorite altered shear zone in the mafic volcanics of the PHG.


The Brass Buckle and SB zones were discovered by Corona Corporation in the late
1980s / early 1990s. PMD first acquired the property by staking the Krissy Trend
after the discovery of visible gold in the Krissy boulder during prospecting in
1992. The property has been optioned to five different companies over the past
17 years and exploration by these companies and PMD/Krinor/NE Exploration has
enhanced the property potential with each exploration phase. Only limited
drilling has tested the Brass Buckle (13 holes) and Krissy (6 holes) trends,
with significant but narrow gold intersections noted in both cases - Krissy -
6.9 g/t over 0.3 m; Brass Buckle - 65 g/t over 1 m (incl. 280 g/t / 0.25 m). No
trenching or drilling has tested the probable source area of the SB gold in till
anomaly.


Five due diligence samples taken by the QP, Guy Mac Gillivray gave Au values
from 15 to 13,563 ppb with the high value taken from the Krissy trend in the
same area as the high channel sample value. Exploration, to begin immediately
will consist of compilation, rehabilitation of the Krissy grid along the Krissy
Trend, soil geochemistry and prospecting followed by trenching / diamond
drilling on the Krissy Trend and linecutting followed by diamond drilling on the
SB gold in till anomaly. No work is planned on the Brass Buckle trend this year.


Analyses in 2009, were carried out at Accurassay Laboratories in Thunder Bay, ON
after sample preparation at the Gambo, NL preparation facility. Samples were
analyzed for gold by fire assay using an atomic absorption finish plus an ICP-31
technique for other elements. A compilation map of the property can be viewed on
the company website www.silverspruceresources.com.
