("Sunrise" or "the Company")

Placing and Total Voting Rights

Sunrise Resources plc (ticker symbol 'SRES'), the AIM-traded company focusing on the development of its CS Pozzolan-Perlite Project in Nevada, USA, is pleased to announce that it has raised GBP400,000 before expenses through a conditional placing of 285,714,285 new ordinary shares of 0.1p each (the "Placing Shares") at a price of 0.14p per share ("the "Placing").

The Placing was arranged by SVS Securities Plc ("SVS") and SVS has been appointed as a Joint Broker to the Company.

Use of Proceeds

The net funds raised will be applied primarily to the Company's CS Pozzolan-Perlite Project in Nevada; to continue the mine planning and permitting process and to continue customer trials.

Commenting today, Patrick Cheetham, Executive Chairman said: "We are pleased to welcome new shareholders to our register which share the Board's vision for the Company and we look forward to reporting on future progress as we advance the CS Project towards production and build our customer base."

Admission to Trading and Total Voting Rights

The Placing Shares, which represent 11.76 per cent. of the Company's enlarged issued share capital, will be issued credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared on or after the date on which they are issued.

The issue of the Placing Shares is conditional, inter alia, on their admission to trading on AIM ("Admission"). Application will be made for the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and Admission is expected to occur on or around 7 August 2018.

Immediately following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will comprise 2,429,865,638 Ordinary Shares with one voting right per share. There are no shares held in treasury and the total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 2,429,865,638. This figure of 2,429,865,638 Ordinary Shares may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

About Natural Pozzolan

Pozzolan is a cementitious material that can partially replace ordinary Portland cement in cement and concrete mixes in amounts up to 35%. Natural pozzolans, therefore, have strong "green" credentials as the production of Portland cement is responsible for 5% of the global man-made carbon dioxide emissions with nearly one tonne of carbon dioxide (CO(2) ) generated for each tonne of cement produced. Natural pozzolans can also improve the strength and chemical resistance of concrete. Natural pozzolans can also replace industrial by-product pozzolans in cement such as coal fly ash. The availability and quality of fly ash is under threat as coal-fired power stations are phased out in favour of natural gas plants and fly ash quality becomes more variable due to increased emission control legislation.

About Perlite

Perlite is a glassy raw material which, when heated in a furnace, pops like popcorn and expands by up to 20 times in volume into a white or pale coloured, low density material. Expanded perlite is used in various industrial and household applications such as insulation, paint texturing, building materials, filter aids, insulating industrial cryogenic storage vessels and as a potting medium in gardening and horticulture to aid water retention and aeration of the soil. Some perlites can also be used as a natural pozzolan.
