VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire – Nov. 4, 2009) - Sunridge Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:SGC) provides an update on the ongoing drilling program being conducted at the Asmara Project, Eritrea. Diamond drilling commenced on September 22, 2009 at the Debarwa copper-gold-zinc volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) project, one of the four defined deposits within the Asmara Project. Ten diamond drill holes have been completed since the program began and the first assay results are expected near the end of November. Drilling continues at Debarwa.

The objective of the drill program at Debarwa is to expand the existing resources by testing nearby geophysical anomalies as well as attempting to extend the high-grade copper-gold supergene zone to the south and the depth of the copper-zinc primary zone. In the existing resource at Debarwa the high-grade copper supergene zone has an average grade of 5.36% copper using a 1% copper cut-off, containing 158 million pounds of copper in the Indicated category. The primary zone at Debarwa has not had significant delineation drilling in previous programs and is open for expansion at depth and along strike. The primary zone has an average grade of 2.53% copper with 3.23% zinc in the Indicated category using a 1% copper cut-off and contains an additional 39 million pounds of copper and 49.8 million pounds of zinc.
