VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Sunridge Gold Corp. (the “Company” or “Sunridge”) (SGC: TSX.V/SGCNF: OTCQX) is pleased to provide an update on current field work activities on the Asmara copper/zinc/gold/silver project in Eritrea. These activities are related to both exploration and preparation work for development of the mine site.

The Asmara Project is held by the Asmara Mining Share Corporation (“AMSC”) a joint-venture company of which Sunridge owns 60% and the Eritrean National Mining Company (“ENAMCO”) owns 40%. The project consists of six defined deposits, four of which were the subject of a feasibility study completed in May 2013 and are currently in the permitting process.

EXPLORATION WORK

Current exploration work is focused on the two “pipeline” deposits on the Asmara Project; the Kodadu volcanogenic-massive-sulphide (“VMS”) deposit and the Adi Rassi copper-gold deposit. Both deposits have Inferred mineral resources and are open for expansion. Details of the current resources can be seen at the end of this news release. The goal of the current field work is to define new areas of mineralization and to direct additional expansion drilling planned for next year.

Current exploration work on the Kodadu and Adi Rassi deposits is comprised of the following:

Kodadu

• Channel and trench sampling of the VMS gold oxide and gold shear zones at surface
• Detailed geological and structural mapping over the current VMS resource and the gold shear zone recently identified to the west
• Geophysical work consisting of an AMT (audi-magneto-telluric) survey to define the massive sulfide at depth below the known VMS gossans exposed at surface, as well as other identified VMS style targets to the northeast which are coincident with both high gravity anomalies and strong electro-magnetic conductors. .

Adi Rassi

• Detailed geological and structural mapping at 1:500 scale
• Trenching and channel sampling of surface exposed mineralization to the south of the existing resource
• AMT survey lines to define the VMS-style mineralization to the west of Adi Rassi

EARLY DEVELOPMENT WORK

The Asmara Project feasibility study mining operations plan includes an abstraction weir and reservoir built on the nearby Mai Bela River (Mai Bela Abstraction Weir or “MBAW”) which will provide water to the centralized processing facility near the large Emba Derho deposit.

Geotechnical field work is underway at the site of the MBAW. This work consists of detailed geotechnical and geological mapping, geotechnical sample collection for laboratory testing and surveying of an access road and staging area.

Kodadu – Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate (David Thomas P. Geo., Fladgate Exploration Consulting Corp. - Effective Date 20 May, 2013)

_{Footnote: Inferred mineral resource estimates are not Mineral Reserves and as such do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of the Mineral Resource will be upgraded to Indicated or Measured mineral resources categories or that it will be converted into Mineral Reserve until the required studies have been completed. The quality and grade estimates of reported Inferred mineral resources are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration work to define the Inferred mineral resources as Indicated and Measured mineral resources and it is uncertain if further exploration work will result in upgrading them to Indicated or Measured mineral resource categories.}

Adi Rassi– Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate (David Thomas P. Geo., Fladgate Exploration Consulting Corp. - Effective Date 1 December 2012)

_{*Cut-off calculation is based on prices and costs provided by Sunridge. The open pit Inferred mineral resource is reported at a copper equivalent cut-off of 0.21% within a Lerchs-Grossman resource pit shell optimized on copper, gold and silver grades with metal prices of $3.75/lb of copper, $1,700/oz gold and $32/oz silver. Assumed metallurgical recoveries are 95%, 70% and 70% for copper, gold and silver respectively. Mining costs are assumed to be $1.75 /t. Underground Inferred mineral resources are reported at a copper equivalent cut-off of 0.72% within a grade shell based upon an underground mining cost of $40/t. The contained metal figures shown are in situ. No assurance can be given that the estimated quantities will be produced. All figures have been rounded to reflect accuracy and to comply with securities regulatory requirements. Summations within the tables may not agree due to rounding. Fladgate undertook quality assurance and quality control studies on the mineral resource data for the Adi Rassi project. Fladgate concludes that the collar, survey, assay and lithology data are adequate to support mineral resource estimation. CIM Definition Standards describe that Mineral Resource Estimates are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of the Mineral Resource will be upgraded to Indicated or Measured mineral resources categories or that it will be converted into Mineral Reserve until the required studies have been completed. The quality and grade estimates of reported Inferred mineral resources are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration work to define the Inferred mineral resources as Indicated and Measured mineral resources and it is uncertain if further exploration work will result in upgrading them to Indicated or Measured mineral resource categories.}
