Spur Ventures Inc. ("Spur" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SVU)(OTCBB:SPVEF) is
pleased to announce the appointment of John Morgan as president, CEO and a
director of the Company effective immediately.


Mr. Morgan will succeed Dr. Rob Rennie, who has retired as President and CEO
following the completion of the Company's sale of its phosphate business in
China. Dr. Rennie will remain with the Company as a Director and has agreed to
remain as an advisor to the Spur Board in order to ensure an orderly transition.



Mr. Morgan is a geologist with a 35 year career as a mining executive. He has
been involved in all phases of mine exploration, planning and development,
primarily in gold and coal in a variety of jurisdictions including Central and
South America and Canada. He has participated in a diverse range of corporate
activities, including technical reports and feasibility studies, corporate
mergers and acquisitions and major corporate financings. Mr. Morgan is also a
fluent Spanish speaker.


Mr. Morgan will be responsible for executing the Company's strategy to pursue
potential acquisitions in gold, base metals or other mineral assets or
businesses that are in more advanced stages of development where the balance of
technical and geopolitical risk is intended to result in increased value to
Spur's shareholders within a relatively short time frame. 


Steven Dean, Chairman of Spur, noted: "We are delighted to have someone of
John's calibre join the Company as President and CEO. John's extensive
experience in all phases of mine exploration, planning and development will be a
significant asset as the Company looks to take advantage of current financial
market volatility to make a strategic investment or investments on favourable
terms." 


Mr. Dean added: "We are also pleased to have Dr. Rennie remain with the Company
as a Director. His tireless efforts in China have been very much appreciated by
the board and by the Company's main shareholders and we wish him well in his
future endeavours outside of Spur." 


The Company announced the granting to Mr. Morgan a total of 1 million stock
options pursuant to the Company's stock option plan at $0.40 per share for 5
years subject to regulatory approval.
