[{"type":"text","content":"\n \nRNS Number : 6216T Sunrise Resources Plc 16 October 2017 \n\nSUNRISE RESOURCES PLC\n(\"Sunrise\" or \"the Company\")\n \n16 October 2017\n \nFURTHER POSITIVE TESTWORK & NEW DISCOVERY\n CS POZZOLAN-PERLITE PROJECT, NEVADA \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 this positive update on testing of samples from its recently completed trenching and drill programmes and to announce the discovery and staking of a new perlite (pozzolan) occurrence in Nevada.\n \nHighlights\n \n· Additional pozzolan Strength Against Index (\"SAI\") test results received for drill and trench samples:\n \nØ 28 day SAI results for all Tuff Zone drill samples show increased strengths from the previously reported 7 day results, consistent with the performance of high quality natural pozzolan.\n \nØ 7 day SAI results for all Main Zone drill samples exceed the 28 day strength requirements of ASTM C618 after only 7 days curing. 28 day strengths, available for the majority of samples, also positive. \n \nØ Four surface samples from NE Zone return 7 and 28 day SAI results consistent with high quality natural pozzolan. \n \nØ 7 day SAI results complete for all trenches but one. All samples tested exceed the 28 day strength requirements of ASTM C618 at 7 days. Where available, 28 day results also positive.\n \n· Perlite expansion testing results now available for all drill samples from the Main Zone perlite/pozzolan deposit.\n \nØ Results support those previously reported for a smaller number of duplicate samples.\n \nØ Application-specific expansion testing now underway.\n \n· In-house exploration techniques result in discovery of new perlite/pozzolan deposit in Nevada.\n \n \nCommenting today, Executive Chairman Patrick Cheetham said: \"I am delighted to be reporting further good news from our CS Pozzolan-Perlite Project with positive implications for the production of both perlite and pozzolan. To date virtually every sample we have tested across a very wide area has met the key 1ASTM requirements for pozzolanic activity (chemical composition) and strength. We are now moving to a more...
