Sparton Resources Inc. (SRI:TSX-V) (the "Company") announced today that it has received the final payment for the sale of a 39% interest in Yunnan Sparton Minerals Company Limited ("YSM"), the Sino-foreign joint venture company which owns the Luxi Gold Project in Yunnan Province, southwest China (see Sparton News Release dated March 24, 2010).

The total sale price of 14 million RMB or approximately USD$2.044 million, was payable in cash in two tranches. The first payment of 12 million RMB was received on signing the sale agreement and the second payment of 2 million RMB was received on April 12, 2010, when all documentation related to the transfer of ownership of YSM was completed.

The purchaser, Joyful Ocean Industrial Group Limited ("JOG"), a Hong Kong registered company, is controlled by Luxi Hai Hua
Development Company, the owner and operator of the local Luxi Gold Mine in the YSM exploration area.

The Company retains a right of first refusal to become a 35% participant in any future expansion and development of the Luxi Gold Mine. Further, Sparton has a right of first refusal to participate, with an interest equal to 35% of JOG's YSM interest, in any new mine development by YSM in the YSM area that, at the feasibility stage, is forecast to be equal to or exceed three times the current Luxi Gold Mine production level.

THE COMPANY

Sparton is currently rationalizing its global portfolio of projects. Consideration has been given to both commodity and market conditions and management's time limitations.

The primary focus in China is to improve cash-flow at the producing Huajun germanium operations, and complete the
evaluation of the Guojiaping Exploration Licence which contains a large, shale hosted vanadium deposit with associated
uranium mineralization. At Lincang, the secondary uranium recovery program will advance through finishing a bulk sample
test and completion of a final feasibility study.

Sparton is extremely well positioned to capitalize on its favourable standing in the Chinese mining industry with additional
opportunities being evaluated on an ongoing basis. All of these projects have a positive environmental footprint and are
receiving strong support from all levels of PRC government.

Domestically, Sparton continues to explore its Marmion Gold Project, which is contiguous to the claim holdings of
Brett Resources Inc. ("Brett"), and is located approximately 25 km north of the town of Atikokan in northwestern Ontario.

Brett management recently announced its intention to recommend a friendly take over by Osisko Mining Corporation with a
view to fund and advance its Hammond Reef deposit, now reported to contain 6.7 million ounces of gold. The Atikokan
area is now being recognized as having excellent exploration potential. Sparton is also continuing its non conventional
uranium and germanium recovery evaluations in western Canada.
