[{"type":"text","content":"\n \nRNS Number : 7983Y Sunrise Resources Plc 13 May 2019 \n\n13 May 2019\nSUNRISE RESOURCES PLC\n(\"Sunrise\" or \"the Company\")\n \nCS PROJECT - SUBMISSION OF PLAN OF OPERATIONS \n& NEVADA RECLAMATION PERMIT APPLICATION\n \nSunrise 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 advise that it has submitted its combined Mine Plan of Operations/Nevada Reclamation Permit Application (\"Plan of Operations\") to the US Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection's Bureau of Mining Regulation and Reclamation (NDEP & BMRR).\n \nThe combined document has been submitted simultaneously to the two above-mentioned regulators and sets out in detail how the mine will be developed over time and how the mine will be reclaimed over its lifetime and on closure. \n \nIn the Company's announcement of 30 October 2018, a three-phase 15-year mine plan was outlined providing the option to mine pozzolan from either the Main Zone pit or the Tuff Zone pit, or both with separate alternative mine plans developed for pozzolan in each zone. The Plan of Operation now submitted includes both alternatives and envisages a longer, 27-year, mine life where both perlite and natural pozzolan are mined from the Main Zone in Phases 1-3 (years 1-15) with pozzolan continuing to be mined in the Tuff Zone in a new Phase 4 (years 16-27).\n \nThe Plan of Operations also includes programmes of drilling and bulk sampling to run concurrently with mining. These exploration programmes will test for extensions of perlite and natural pozzolan which are open ended and project beyond the current pit limits. This includes evaluation of the extensive Northeast Zone which so far has been tested by a single drill hole which intersected 40m of high quality natural pozzolan from surface. Previous exploration suggests that the Northeast Zone target extends over an area at least as large as the Main Zone. \n \nThe Plan of Operations will now be reviewed by the BLM and when deemed complete the BLM will initiate the Environmental Assessment process as required under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
