Sunrise Resources plc announced the receipt of high-grade zinc, lead and silver analytical results from samples collected during a recent field visit to the Reese Ridge Project in Nevada, USA. Highlights: Field visit made to follow up on a Company reconnaissance mapping sample that had yielded an unexpectedly high zinc content of 15.9% zinc. Original sample site has been revisited and two additional grab samples yielded: O Sample No 52303: 13.6% zinc, 12.8% lead, 146ppm silver. O Sample No.52304: 29.6% zinc, 0.3% lead, 7ppm silver.

Samples occur within a larger altered area containing widespread zinc-lead-silver values. Low resistivity zone defined during historical geothermal exploration programme is a priority drill target. Geological setting and mineralogical evaluation of the samples suggests a Carbonate Replacement Deposit ("CRD") style of base-precious metal mineralisation.

CRD deposits can be large and high-grade as seen in the Taylor (Herosa) Deposit in the neighbouring State of Arizona which was purchased by South 32 for $1.6 billion in 2018 and is now under development.
