Perlite is also used as a lightweight industrial material and horticultural growing medium. \n \n \nHighlights\n \n· Drill plan builds on results of Phase 1 drilling carried out in July 2017 and subsequent positive testing programmes for pozzolan and perlite.\n \n· Phase 2 programme allows for mine plan drilling at a further 22 drill sites.\n \n· Objective is to define permitting boundaries for one or more open-pit mine sites for production of perlite and pozzolan.\n \n· Drilling will include Main Zone pozzolan and perlite and Tuff Zone pozzolan.\n \n \nCommenting today, Executive Chairman Patrick Cheetham said: \"Test results from Phase 1 drill samples, surface and trench samples meet the key 1ASTM strength requirements for natural pozzolan across a very wide area of the property but future open-pit mine boundaries need to be constrained and defined for mine permitting. The results from this next stage of drilling, together with the results from the more advanced stages of pozzolan and perlite testing now in progress, will help us define the best locations for the start of mining. We are currently reviewing drill quotes and will advise a start date for drilling in due course.\"\n \n \nFurther information\n \n\n\n\n\nSunrise Resources plc\nPatrick Cheetham, Executive Chairman \n\n\nTel:\n\n\n+44 (0)1625 838 884\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNorthland Capital Partners Limited\nNominated Adviser & ...
