[{"type":"text","content":"\n \nRNS Number : 0552F Sunrise Resources Plc 16 February 2018 \n\nSUNRISE RESOURCES PLC\n(\"Sunrise\" or \"the Company\")\n \n 16 February 2018\n \nCS PROJECT - PHASE 2 DRILLING RESULTS POINT TO LARGER POZZOLAN TONNAGE POTENTIAL\n \nSunrise Resources plc, the AIM-traded company focusing on the development of its CS Pozzolan-Perlite Project in Nevada, USA, is pleased to provide the following positive update on results from the Phase 2 drill programme at its CS Project.\n \nCS Project natural pozzolans are being evaluated as a \"green\" replacement for Portland cement in cement mixes and concrete mixes. Perlite is also used as a lightweight industrial material and horticultural growing medium.\n \n \nHighlights:\n \n· 25 reverse circulation percussion drill holes completed for a total of 838m of drilling to better define the zones of commercial interest and assist in the preparation of mine plans for permitting.\n \n· Eight holes drilled in the Tuff Zone pozzolan (including two repeat holes where original holes had poor sample recovery):\n \nØ Thick zones of Tuff pozzolan intersected from bedrock surface (immediately beneath shallow colluvium) in all but one hole. \n \nØ Majority of holes ended in Tuff pozzolan with intersections up to 46m thick.\n \n· 16 holes drilled in the Main Zone perlite and tephra pozzolan:\n \nØ 12 holes intersected perlite from bedrock surface. \n \nØ Thick perlite intersections, up to 26m (18CSRC18), were encountered. \n \nØ Thick tephra pozzolan also intersected in step-out hole 18CSRC31 from bedrock surface (4.6m deep) to end of hole at 32m. \n \n· First step-out hole into Northeast Zone (18CSRC32) hit tephra pozzolan from bedrock surface (1.5m deep) to a depth of 40m. \n \n \nCommenting today, Executive Chairman Patrick Cheetham said: \"The Phase 2 drill programme has delivered everything that was hoped for and more. The thick and open ended intersections of tephra pozzolan from bedrock surface in the step-out holes in the Main Zone and Northeast Zone are impressive and demonstrate potential to add substantially to the known pozzolan deposits in the Tuff and Main Zones. We are now very confident that the Ma...
