VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, October 21, 2013 - Sphere Resources Inc. ("the Company"), listed on the NEX Board of the TSX Venture Exchange (NEX - SPH.H), is pleased to make the following announcement:
Following the completion of a CSAMT/IP survey the Company will initiate a 3,200 meter drill program to identify high grade feeder shoots from the continuation of gold mineralization of Gold Standard Ventures ("GSV") high grade gold discovery and other targets which include the anomalous area, from Spartan’s magnetic survey, known as the “Mag Dome” hosts structures that should provide specific target environments.
The survey also indicates a shallow magnetic high similar to the one at the Central Bullion Discovery made at the Railroad Property by GSV. In the news release dated October 2, 2013 by GSV it was stated that: "We are excited by this discovery of gold in oxide material at Bald Mountain as well as the multi-element potential of the broader Central Bullion area. We have recently expanded our surface sample coverage and are now looking at a target area for copper, gold and silver with a diameter of four kilometers."
There is no certainty further exploration will lead to discovery or development of similar deposits.
A breakdown of the estimated costs of the survey and drill program on Poker Flats is as follows:
Description Cost
CSAMT/IP Survey $180,000
10 Reverse Circulation Drill Holes ("RC") - 2,000m $193,000
4 Diamond Core Drill Holes ("DD") - 1,200m $466,000
The RC holes will be cased and used for diamond drilling.
