Spanish Mountain Gold Ltd. ("the Company") (SPA-TSXV) is pleased to announce details of assay results received from drill holes completed on the Spanish Mountain gold project in southern central British Columbia this year. Twenty NQ and HQ diameter holes were drilled for exploration, geotechnical and metallurgical purposes. All exploration holes intersected gold mineralization that confirm or extend the known mineralization up to 350 m from the current limits of the Main and North zones.

Significant Drillhole Intercepts

Highlights of assay results include:

• 26.50 metres (m) grading 1.18 grams per tonne (g/t) gold including 2.25 m grading 5.06 g/t gold in Hole 10-DDH-912 drilled 150 m west of the Main Zone
• 29.00 m grading 1.21 g/t gold including 13.00 m grading 2.25 g/t gold in Hole 10-DDH-918
• 119.50 m (starting at 5.50 m down the hole) grading 0.74 g/t gold including 27.00 m grading 1.50 g/t gold and a second zone of 25.50 m grading 1.56 g/t gold in Hole 10-DDH-902.
• 42.15 m grading 1.15 g/t gold in Hole 10-DDH-915.
• 76.00 m grading 0.87 g/t gold in Hole 10-DDH-906.
• 82.00 m grading 0.62 g/t gold including 12.50 m grading 1.04 g/t gold in Hole 10-DDH-911

Tables 1 & 2 presenting significant assay intervals and a drill hole location map (Fig. 1) are appended to this news release.

Discussion of Results and PEA Update

The exploration holes intersected gold mineralization in areas to the west of the Main zone and north and east of the North Zone. The new intercepts confirmed or extended the known mineralization up to 350 m from these zones. Of particular note is Hole 10-DDH-912 which intersected 26.5 m grading 1.18 g/t gold in an area 150 m west of the Main Zone. The Company is encouraged by these results which would suggest that areas of potential exist west of the Main Zone and around the North Zone. Further drilling is warranted in these areas.

Brian Groves, President and CEO, stated: "The exploration drilling was successful in demonstrating that the potential exists to expand the areas of mineralization to the east and west. Additional drilling will be done in 2011 to better define the continuity of mineralization in these areas."

The holes completed for geotechnical and metallurgical purposes were drilled within the Main and North Zones of gold mineralization. The results are consistent with those from previous drilling within the known mineralized areas and will be included in the PEA for the Spanish Mountain gold project. The economic model for the project will be released in November 2010. The full report is scheduled for release in December 2010 and is expected to incorporate tailing facilities that do not impact any lakes or streams in the project areas.

All core samples were fire assayed at ALS Chemex Laboratory in Vancouver, BC. Stuart Morris, P. Geo, the Company's Vice-President, Development Geology is a qualified person as defined under National Instrument 43-101 and has reviewed the contents of this news release.
