SRI Sparton Resources Inc

Sparton Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SRI) (the "Company"), announced today that
new exploration activities are underway on the Sierra Rosario and Battle
Mountain Ridge royalty and option properties in Mexico and Nevada.


SIERRA ROSARIO PROJECT, MEXICO

In Mexico, American Consolidated Minerals Corp. (TSX VENTURE:AJC), ("AJC") and
International Northair Mines Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:INM) ("Northair") have reported
that on May 29, 2012 a core drill program had commenced at their Sierra Rosario
silver/gold 50/50 joint venture property ("Property"), located in Sinaloa State,
Mexico. Induced Polarization ("IP") and soil sampling surveys were completed on
the property in March and April 2012, and a drill program is currently underway
totalling approximately 1,400 metres in six holes. It is designed to test a
minimum 600-metre length of a 1400 metre long coincident IP and silver/gold
geochemical soil anomaly. This drilling is the first to be conducted on the
property and will focus on the San Rafael Zone and its southeastern extension
where significant widths of silver-gold mineralization were discovered in an
extensive trenching surface program. The exploration is managed by Northair, the
project operator. Recent geochemical results have returned values of up to
326g/t silver, 0.712g/t gold and 3470 ppm lead in soil samples coincident with
the IP anomaly zone. Sparton holds net smelter return royalties on the Sierra
Rosario property equal to 3% of AJC's share of base metal production, 2% of
AJC's share of gold production and 1.5% of AJC's share of silver production.


BATTLE MOUNTAIN RIDGE (SBD) PROJECT, NEVADA

The Battle Mountain Ridge (formerly SBD) property currently under option to
Waseco Resources Inc., is located in the middle of Nevada's prolific Battle
Mountain Trend, in close proximity to Goldcorp and Barrick's Marigold Mine
(approx.3 Million oz Au) and immediately adjacent to Newmont Resources' Trenton
Canyon Mine (approx. 300,000 oz Au production). The claims are approximately 6
miles north of Newmont's Phoenix Gold Mine operations which has a gold endowment
exceeding 10 million ounces. The claims host a non-N-I 43-101-compliant historic
Resource of 2.9 million short tons of 0.023 oz/t Au (0.80/g/T Au) reported by
previous operators in 1997.


Under the terms of the option agreement, Waseco can earn a 75% interest in the
claims by paying all property carrying costs and carrying out $900,000 of
exploration expenditures over 3 years. Waseco is to be the operator of the joint
venture. Other terms of the Agreement include that if either party is diluted
down to a 10% interest in the joint-venture, that interest shall be converted
into a 1% net smelter return royalty (NSR); and if the property is subsequently
sold to a third party the 1% net smelter return royalty will be converted to 10%
of the value of the proceeds of the sale.


Waseco has recently completed additional soil geochemical surveys on the claims
and a compilation of previous exploration data. Once all analytical results from
the geochemical work is available Waseco is expected to commence a core drilling
program later this season to expand the known mineralized zones and test new
areas. No core drilling has ever been done on the property and this information
will serve to provide a clear understanding of the nature of the gold
mineralization at Battle Mountain Ridge.


NEW SHARE OPTIONS

According to Sparton's Stock Option Plan ("SOP") the Company has reserved for
issuance share purchase options to directors, officers and consultants to
purchase a total of 3,400,000 common shares at $0.10 per share for a period of 3
years, vested immediately, and expiring on June 21, 2015. There will be
approximately 4,000,000 options remaining unassigned under the SOP.
