SRI Sparton Resources Inc

SPARTON RESOURCES INC. (TSX VENTURE:SRI), (the "Company') is pleased to announce
that the 2011 exploration program on Sparton's claims in the Atikokan, Ontario,
gold area have been finalized with Osisko Hammond Reef Gold Ltd. the operating
subsidiary of Osisko Mining Corporation ("Osisko", TSX-"OSK", "EWX"-Deutsche
Boerse). The properties straddle Osisko's Hammond Reef Gold Project property,
which hosts a NI 43-101 compliant inferred resource of 6.7 million ounces of
gold (259.4 million tonnes at a grade of 0.8 grams per tonne, using 0.3 grams
per tonne cut-off), of which 97% lies within 300 metres of surface. The Sparton
property package is subject to a recently executed joint venture agreement with
Osisko. (See Sparton News release dated March 21, 2011).


WORK PROGRAM 

Osisko, as the manager of the project, submitted a comprehensive $1.2 million
dollar work program to the project management committee which gave its unanimous
approval. The planned work will cover both the West Hammond and Clement Lake
claims. It will consist of at least 3300 metres of new diamond drilling
following up the discoveries made by Sparton on the West Hammond claims, as well
as new exploration and follow-up on the prospective zones identified elsewhere
on the claim areas. There are also provisions for a comprehensive airborne and
ground geophysical program, new grid preparation and geochemical surveys, as
well as provision for new stripping, trenching and additional drilling. A team
of approximately 8 people will be assigned to the various work programs. 


Field work at West Hammond is expected to begin in mid-May and with grid
extension line cutting, soil sampling and induced polarization surveys in the
northern part of the West Hammond claim area. Several areas of anomalous gold
values were located by Sparton in this area in 2010. Assay results from
prospecting (grab) samples taken during this indicated several new areas of
anomalous gold mineralization. The Clement Lake program will begin later in the
field season. 


DISCUSSION

"Clearly, the past season's work at West Hammond by Sparton has indicated the
potential for new discoveries in this emerging gold mining camp in the Atikokan
area. Osisko's Hammond Reef program, with 20 drills operating in the property
area, is one of the largest mineral development programs in North America"
stated Lee Barker, Sparton's President and CEO. "We are excited and committed to
working diligently with Osisko to advance the potential of the properties".
