Update - Junction Project

Sunrise Resources plc ("Sunrise" or "the Company"), the AIM-traded company focusing on the development of its CS Pozzolan-Perlite Project in Nevada, USA, is pleased to provide the following update on activities at the Junction Project in Nevada where the Company has ongoing interests.

VR Resources Ltd ("VR"), the registered owner of the property, has announced that:

   --     Mapping, prospecting and soil sampling are nearly complete. 

-- Copper sulphide mineralisation related to pegmatites and quartz veins is evident at surface in numerous showings along a strike length of nearly 1,600 m.

-- It anticipates completion of a high resolution airborne magnetic/electromagnetic survey in 2018, in order to test along-strike sub-surface continuity of the outcropping mineralisation, and in preparation for a first pass diamond drill program.

As a result of the sale of the Junction Project, Sunrise is a shareholder in VR and, subject to certain exploration milestones being met, will be issued with further VR shares and receive a cash royalty on any future production.

Commenting today, Executive Chairman Patrick Cheetham said: "The Junction Project transaction was the first of what we hope to be a series of transactions to valorise our mineral project portfolio following our decision earlier this year to focus on the development of the CS project in Nevada. We are pleased that VR Resources has moved so quickly to initiate exploration of the Junction Property and we look forward to any benefits this may bring to Sunrise in future."
