Sparton Resources Inc. (SRI: TSX-V) (the "Company") reported today the results of  four additional drill
holes completed in early April on its  West Hammond Contact (“WHC”) property located in northern Ontario.
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 6.7 million ounces of gold at a grade of 0.80 g/t gold using
a cut off grade of 0.30g/t gold. (See Sparton news releases dated October 26, 2009, December 10, 2009,
March 1, 2010, and recent news releases and 43-101 Technical Report of Brett Resources Inc.).

The Company also reports that is has increased its holdings in the area by staking approximately
544 hectares of new claims (34 Units) immediately adjacent to Brett’s main claim group.

DRILLING

Four holes totalling approximately 1200 metres in length were completed prior to spring breakup,
in the latest drilling program. All holes were drilled at an angle of -50 degrees and the average hole
length was approximately 300 metres. One hole (WH10-14) was completed at a length of 317 metres.

Hole WHC10-13 tested the shallow part of the South Silicified Zone (“SSZ”) immediately in front of
Hole WHC10-7 and confirmed the low gold values seen in the trench on this section, with the best
intersection being 0.50 g/t gold over a 2.5 metre core length.

Hole WHC10-14 located 75 metres to the south of holes WHC10-07, 12, 13 tested the intersections
reported previously in those holes (see Sparton news release dated March 1, 2010) at depth.  This
hole intersected a 100 metre (core length)  zone of  anomalous gold values  in altered Marmion
Batholith  granitic  rocks  which included intersections of  1.46 g/t gold over 1.0 metres, 3.48g/t gold
over 0.4 metres, 1.32 g/t gold over 1.0 metre, 0.62g/t gold over 1.0 metre and  0.48g/t gold over 1.0
metres. Semi -continuous gold values between these intersections ranged from 100-400 ppb gold.
One continuous zone from 282-296 metres in this hole averaged 0.40 g/t gold over a 14 metre core
length at a depth of approximately 225 metres below surface confirming the increase in gold values
with depth seen in Hole WHC10-12 which encountered 0.37 g/t Au over 39.4 meters including 0.74 g/t
Au over 14.8 meters.  Deeper drilling on this zone will be required.

Drill hole (WHC10-15) tested an area of anomalous surface prospecting results (with values up to 1.92 g/t
gold from grab samples) on the west part of the WHC grid, and returned only low values. The fourth hole,
WHC10-16 tested a wide IP anomaly approximately 2 kilometers north of the SSZ main drilled area. It
intersected a strongly silicified zone of altered Finlayson Volcanic rocks containing significant amounts
of pyrite and minor base metals but returned low gold values.

Several other untested targets remain on the WHC grid and lines have been extended to provide
additional geophysical coverage with more Induced Polarization and Magnetic surveys planned for
the summer field season.

It is clear from these results that the deeper part of the SSZ contains better gold values and more
consistent mineralization. Future drilling will focus on deeper testing of this zone.  

NEW CLAIM STAKING, SUMMER PROGRAM

As part of its ongoing evaluation program in the Marmion Batholith area the Company has acquired by staking
an additional 34 claim units totalling approximately 544 hectares contiguous to the WHC claim block. This
property also ties on to Brett Resources claims north and west of Brett’s Hammond Reef deposit. The new
claims the West Hammond Extension Group (“WHE”) cover several well documented, strong deformation
zones in the Marmion Batholith north and west of Hammond Reef. These will be prospected in detail
during the upcoming summer field season expected to begin in the third week of May, 2010.

Sparton has only covered about 20% of its land holdings in the Marmion Batholith area since discovering the
SSZ after initiating its exploration programs in October 2009.  The upcoming field work will focus on covering
the remainder of the claim areas and also follow up positive prospecting results associated with strong
alteration zones located in the Clement Lake claims last season which are located east of Hammond Reef.
   Work on the WHC and WHE groups will cover a further 15 kilometers along the contact of the Marmion
Batholith and the Finlayson Volcanic Belt  and evaluate the favourable structural zones within the Marmion
Batholith itself. These programs will be directed by Mr. Denis Villeneuve P.Geol., who has over 4 years
experience working in the Marmion Batholith area.  Additional drilling is also planned later this summer
to test deeper parts of the SSZ and any new targets generated by the summer program.

Sparton's domestic and  international exploration, development, and evaluation programs are being carried
out under the direct supervision of A. Lee Barker, P. Eng., P Geol., the Company's President and CEO who is
a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101.
