Sunridge Gold Reports High Grade Assay Values From Adi Nefas, Asmara Project, Eritrea
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/01/11 -- Sunridge Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE: SGC)(OTCQX: SGCNF) reports assay results from the recent drill program at the Adi Nefas zinc-gold-copper deposit located 6 kilometres east of the large Emba Derho Deposit on the Company's Asmara Project, Eritrea. The drill program was designed to test for expansion of the deposit to the north and at depth as well as to collect geotechnical and metallurgical samples for the current prefeasibility study on the Asmara North Deposits which include Emba Derho, Adi Nefas and Gupo Gold.
Highlights:
The mineralized zone was successfully expanded by diamond drill holes AN-100 and AN-101 which extended the deposit 20 metres to the north and AN-GT-04, which extended the deposit to depth by 40 metres in the south.
Michael Hopley, Sunridge's President and CEO states, "These drill results further confirm the very high value of the mineralized material found at Adi Nefas when all metal values are taken into account. We believe that the current prefeasibility study being conducted on the Asmara North Deposits, which includes Adi Nefas, will show that this deposit will add significant value to the project economics by providing a higher grade "sweetener" feed to a process plant located at Emba Derho."
A summary of the assay results from the recent drill program at Adi Nefas are as follows:
NOTE: A plan map has been posted on the Company's website - . There were no significant assays from drill hole AN-GT-01 and AN-GT-05. Drill Hole AN-GT-01 was drilled at the location of proposed underground portal to collect geotechnical data and AN-GT-05 was drilled in footwall to support underground mine design.
The Asmara North Deposits Prefeasibility Study
The Prefeasibility Study on the Asmara North Deposits is being conducted by Snowden Mining Industry Consultants Inc. and GBM Minerals Engineering Consultants Ltd. The Asmara North deposits are made up of three distinct deposits:
The prefeasibility study will consider a centralized process plant using flotation for the recovery of the base metals and will study various mining options over a forecast life of mine of between 10 and 14 years. The study will further investigate process options for the development of a gold recovery plant to process gold mineralized material from the "gold cap" at the Emba Derho deposit, the nearby Gupo gold deposit and other possible nearby surface zones of gold mineralization to enhance economics of the deposits. The completion of this report is expected in the first quarter of 2012.
