Sparton Resources Inc. (SRI:TSX-V) (the "Company") reported today that new sampling results from prospecting on its West Hammond Contact (“WHC”) property located in northern Ontario have now extended the mineralized gold trend for a total of 2.8 kilometers. The WHC claim group is contiguous to the claim holdings of Brett Resources Inc. (“Brett”), and is located approximately 25 km. north of the town of Atikokan. Brett is doing advanced evaluation of its Hammond Reef deposit which is now reported to contain 6.8 million ounces of Gold. (See Sparton news release dated October 26, 2009, and recent news releases by Brett Resources Ltd.).

SAMPLING PROGRAM
During the initial prospecting and sampling program new mineralization was discovered on the WHC claims along strike from the previously reported Stubby Zone (see Sparton news release dated July 20. 2009). This included the new South Silicified Zone located southwest of Stubby.

Of 689 prospecting (grab) samples taken to date at West Hammond, 109 samples returned significantly anomalous values above 100 ppb Au.  Values obtained over 1 g/t are 17.65 g/t Au, 13.55, 12.4, 4.04, 4, 3.19, 2.76 and 2.61 g/t Au.  Most of the higher values are from the grid area which is 3100 meters long by 800 meters wide centered on the Stubby showing.  Anomalous gold values generally occur in quartz-ankerite veins and vein stockworks with pyrite, rarely accompanied by chalcopyrite and/or galena.  Highly altered mafic volcanics with abundant pyrite and altered pyritic granite have also returned anomalous gold values up to 12.4 g/t Au.  Some of the assays and soil results are still pending but visually the mineralized trend is more or less continuous along the grid baseline and has been traced over a distance of 2.8 kilometers.  Anomalous gold values in soils analysed to date from the grid are observed for a strike length of about 2.2 kilometers.  The data display several anomalous trends within the grid and a significant number of anomalous values occur beyond the north-western limit of the grid where sample values reach up to 1.71 and 1.92 g/t. 

Based on the initial sampling several trenches were cleared to bedrock and channel sampled in locations where some of the better prospecting sample results were found. Several anomalous zones (over 0.5 g/t Au) in exposures up to 14 metres wide were located in the trenches, associated with strong silicification.   

GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYS, DRILLING
Based on the positive sampling results, induced polarization (IP) and magnetic surveys commenced over the entire grid area in mid November and are now essentially completed. At least three distinct anomalous trends characteristic of disseminated sulphide mineralization with related increased resistivity (silicification) have been located to date. These are related either to anomalous gold mineralization located by the rock sampling program or anomalous gold in soil results.

A drill program to test several of the IP zones is expected to begin on or before December 12, 2009. It is expected that at least three or four 200 meter holes will be completed prior to year end. These will target the most attractive IP anomalies associated with elevated gold values in soils or rock and trench sampling.

The Company West Hammond claim holdings cover approximately 20 kilometers of this favourable zone. Anomalous gold values have also been found an additional 1.5 km northeast of the current grid area where the initial work has been completed. Follow up work here be done during next year’s field season.

POSITIVE CLEMENT LAKE RESULTS
The prospecting program has also located new mineralization in the Clement Lake claim area where a total of 169 grab samples were taken during reconnaissance prospecting across lineaments which are similar to those related to Brett’s Hammond Reef deposit Ten samples returned anomalous values of greater than 100 ppb, with the better values being 1.09 and 3.44 g/t Au.  The anomalous values are scattered over a broad area and require further investigation.                                  

Sparton’s management is extremely pleased with these new data. They confirm the occurrence of a very strong zone of shearing, alteration and related gold mineralization associated with the contact zone between the Marmion batholith and the Finlayson Volcanic Belt. The presence and pattern of the IP anomalies and association with either anomalous gold values in soil samples or rock samples makes these high priority drill targets and it has been decided to begin drill testing them immediately. The new gold mineralization located on the Clement Lake claims is also very encouraging.

All sample data reported here represent analyses performed by ALS Chemex’ Laboratory in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Sparton maintains an industry standard program of sample control security, and chain of custody for quality control and quality assurance purposes.
