The Asmara Project is held by the Asmara Mining Share Corporation (“AMSC”) a joint-venture company of which Sunridge owns 60% and the Eritrean National Mining Company (“ENAMCO”) owns 40%. The project consists of six defined deposits, four of which were the subject of a feasibility study completed in May 2013 and are currently in the permitting process.

Exploration Work

Current exploration work is focused on the two “pipeline” deposits on the Asmara Project; the Kodadu volcanogenic-massive-sulphide (“VMS”) deposit and the Adi Rassi copper-gold deposit. Both deposits have Inferred mineral resources and are open for expansion. Details of the current resources can be seen at the end of this news release.  The goal of the current field work is to define new areas of mineralization and to direct additional expansion drilling planned for next year.

 Early Development work

The Asmara Project feasibility study mining operations plan includes an abstraction weir and reservoir built on the nearby Mai Bela River (Mai Bela Abstraction Weir or “MBAW”) which will provide water to the centralized processing facility near the large Emba Derho deposit.
