TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Feb. 16, 2012) - Sulliden Gold Corporation Ltd. ("Sulliden", or the "Company") (News - Market indicators)(OTCQX:SDDDF)(LMA:SUE) is pleased to report new assay results for 22 holes totaling 4,241 metres of exploration drilling conducted on its Shahuindo property in northern Peru (See property location map, Figure 1).

The Company's exploration program continues in 2012 with further drilling designed to delineate new mineralization along the defined 3.8 kilometre Central Corridor at width and depth. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2012, the Company plans to initiate drilling on other prospective areas of the property, including the north-west and south-east extensions of the Central Corridor where significant mineral anomalies have been identified with geochemistry and geophysics. Further drilling in the North Corridor, which started in the later part of 2011, is also planned to continue this year.

All the drill results reported in this news release were obtained from holes in the Central Corridor (See Figure 2) which continue to encounter additional mineralization. Of particular interest are results in the Sub-Corridor 'B', a mineral structure found parallel to, and approximately 200 metres away from the West Zone. Nine new drill holes in this area have identified new extensions of mineralization along strike. The total strike length of mineralization defining the Sub Corridor 'B' has now expanded to over 300 metres and remains open. The Company intends to continue exploration efforts to define the total extension of this sub-corridor. Highlights from the Sub Corridor 'B' include (location of holes are highlighted in Figure 2):

  • Hole RSH11-211: Intersection of 0.51 g/t gold over 43.5 metres
  • Hole RSH11-209: Intersection of 0.75 g/t gold and 39.6 g/t silver over 25.5 metres (including 2.01 g/t gold and 149.4 g/t silver over 6.0 metres)
  • Hole RSH11-239: Intersection of 1.26 g/t gold and 14.7 g/t silver over 12.0 metres

Another significant intercept highlight from the Central Corridor was drill hole RSH11-219, which intersected 1.07 g/t gold and 17.4 g/t silver over 48.0 metres. This hole, located in the northern part of the East Zone, strengthens the possibility of a north-south trending mineralized occurrence initially identified with hole SH11-292, which intersected 1.61 g/t gold and 11.8 g/t silver over 64.5 meters, including 6.30 g/t gold and 46.6 g/t silver over 13.5 metres (see press release from November 30, 2011). This potential new extension with be further drill tested as part of the 2012 exploration program. 

Project Update

Exploration

Sulliden made significant exploration progress on the Shahuindo property in 2011. Drilling in the Central Corridor, which is the location of the current mineral resource area on the property, was successful in expanding the mineralization in several areas, including two new sub corridors 'A' and 'B' (See Figure 2). In addition, in late 2011 and early 2012, the Company announced positive results from the initial drilling on the North Corridor. One of the highlights from the North Corridor, hole SHN11-328, intersected 53.8 metres of 0.85 g/t gold and 71.4 g/t silver in oxides, which is similar in grade and width as the mineralization found in the Central Corridor. These positive results have warranted further exploration drilling in 2012 as the Company works towards its objective of defining a mineral resource in the North Corridor. In 2012, drilling will continue in the North and Central corridors and will also begin drill testing the Central Corridor extensions, which, if successful, could potentially add strike length to the existing 3.8 kilometre ore body.

Mine Developments Associates ("MDA") is currently working on the completion of a new National Instrument 43-101 mineral resource estimate, which will be included in the upcoming Feasibility Study. The new mineral resource estimate will be based on all the accumulated drill data completed in the Central Corridor of the Shahuindo property up to the end of 2011.

Engineering

The Feasibility Study is progressing well with completion expected in the second quarter of 2012. Kappes, Cassiday and Associates ("KCA") is in the process of completing all the remaining engineering work required for the completion of the Feasibility Study, including the optimization of the mine fleet based on the mine plan prepared by MDA using the new mineral resource. Sulliden plans to own and operate its own mining fleet and these capital costs are currently being developed by KCA for inclusion in the Feasibility Study. The water management plan for the Shahuindo Mine is in its final stages and Sulliden expects the water consumption to be in line with the previous preliminary study showing the mining project to be water neutral. The Company continues to invest in the growth of its technical and professional staff in anticipation of the project's pending construction phase.

Permitting

The Company is advancing the Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") study, which will be required to obtain the mine construction permit. The technical aspects of this study are progressing well and the Company is also in the process of completing the required community consultation and transparency meetings. Sulliden expects to be able to submit its permit application within the second half of 2012 and is working diligently to obtain its construction permit as soon as possible.

Quality Control and Assurance

Sulliden's exploration program is being managed by its Vice-President of Exploration, Stéphane Amireault, P.Eng., a Qualified Person within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Amireault has read and approved the technical and scientific information in this news release.

The analyses for this drilling campaign were carried out by ALS Chemex in Lima, Peru, exercising a thorough Quality Control and Assurance program (QA/QC). All ALS Chemex labs are ISO 9000 registered laboratories. Gold assays reported in this press release were obtained by standard 50 gram fire assaying with AA finish. Gold values over 10g/t Au were obtained by fire assay and gravimetric finish. Silver assays reported in the press release were obtained by Aqua-Regia dissolution followed by ICP-AES measurement. For silver values over 100g/t Ag, Aqua-Regia was followed by Atomic Absorption spectrometer reading. For silver values over 1000g/t Ag, a 30g fire assay was completed with a gravimetric finish.

About Sulliden

Sulliden is a Canadian-based precious metals company focused on the exploration and development of the Shahuindo Gold and Silver Project, located in a prolific gold producing district in northern Peru. A positive Preliminary Assessment for the Shahuindo Project was completed in February 2010 and a Feasibility Study is currently underway. On June 16, 2011, an updated mineral resource estimate more than doubled the Indicated gold ounces in the oxides and almost quadrupled the Inferred gold ounces relative to the previous estimate. While the Company progresses towards its goal of becoming a gold producer, a significant focus is being placed on exploration drilling. The current mineral deposit is open in all directions and at depth, and the Company plans to further drill the property in 2012 to continue the mineral expansion. Sulliden is led by a strong management team with the proven ability to develop, finance and operate mining projects and is poised to generate superior value for its shareholders.
