summary, our recommendation is based on the following:
Robust
Mining P
roject
:
SGC
’s main asset is
the
Asmara
VMS
project in Eritrea, located in northeastern Africa.
SGC holds a 60% in
terest with the Eritrean Government
holding the remaining 40% (10% free
-
carried).
The
feasibility study
i
s completed on the
copper
-
zinc
-
gold
-
silver
project, and permits to begin
mine
construction are
expected
in Q1/15.
Multi
-
Staged Development
:
initial
ope
rations will involve
open pit
mining of direct shipping ore (DSO) containing
high grade copper, gold, and silver.
Next, n
ear
-
surface
oxides will be processed at site using heap
-
leaching
methods to recover gold and silver.
Finally, additional
processing cir
cuits will be added, and throughput rates
increased, to recover zinc and
copper from primary
sulphide ores.
Experienced Management Team
:
SGC’s team includes
several people involved in taking the Bisha mine from
exploration to production in Eritrea.
Reratin
g Opportunity With Permits/Financing

renewed market interest in SGC shares as additional
milestones are achieved towards moving the Asmara
project into construction
in the coming few quarters

Sunridge Gold has been exploring for VMS base and precious metal
deposits in Eritrea since 2003, outlining several deposits on its Asmara
property. The project has been advanced sufficiently for the
Government of Eritrea to exercise its option to purchase 30% of the
project.
