Sunridge Gold Corp. has received assay results from twenty-one diamond drill holes from the Debarwa copper-zinc-gold deposit located on the Asmara Project, Eritrea.
Most of these drill holes have successfully extended the depth of the primary mineralization at Debarwa from 150 to 200 meters from surface. These assays (along with results from 35 drill holes completed in late 2009) will be used to update the resource estimate for Debarwa which is scheduled to be completed in April 2011. This new resource will be used as part of the ongoing Debarwa feasibility study. A total of 59 diamond drill holes have been completed to date in the current phase of drilling. Assays for 24 diamond drill holes are still pending.
Michael Hopley, Sunridge's President and CEO states "Much of the focus at Debarwa has been on the shallow parts of the deposit, particularly the Gold Oxide and Copper Supergene Zones. We are excited that many of these new deeper drill holes are demonstrating excellent grades of copper, zinc and gold at depth in the primary zone of mineralization".
