VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - July 6, 2010) - Sunridge Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:SGC) ("Sunridge") is pleased to report results from re-assays of drill core from four diamond drill holes conducted by a previous operator at the Adi Rassi copper-gold prospect within the Asmara Project in Eritrea. The holes were drilled by Golden Star Resources in 1996 at Adi Rassi but only short select intervals of the core had previously been sampled and assayed. Adi Rassi is located within the "Exploration Areas" and is part of the joint-venture exploration funding agreement with Antofagasta Minerals S.A. ("Antofagasta").

Highlights from the re-assayed drill core from Adi Rassi include:

• 20.0m (from 116.0m to 136.0m) of 0.09 g/t gold and 0.90% copper in ARBH-1 and 8.0m (from 160.0 to 168.0m) of 0.15 g/t gold and 1.02% copper

• 24.0m (from 90.0m to 114.0m) of 1.43 g/t gold and 1.34% copper in ARBH-2 including 14.0m (from 100.0m to 114.0m) of 2.39 g/t gold and 1.86% copper

• 52.0m (from 86.0m to 138.0m) of 0.97 g/t gold and 0.62% copper in ARBH-3 including 8.0m (from 114.0 to 122.0m) of 2.97 g/t gold and 0.85% copper

• 14.0m (from 102m to 116.0m) of 0.13 g/t gold and 1.06% copper in ARBH-4 and 2.0m (from 186.0m to 188.0m) of 0.52 g/t gold and 2.03% copper

Results are expected at the end of July from the recently completed drill program by the Sunridge/Antofagasta joint-venture at Adi Rassi (news release dated May 12, 2010) which consisted of 4 holes totaling 1,243 metres of diamond drilling (to see plan map please click on: [ http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/sgc76.pdf ]).

Based on recent detailed geological mapping and sampling Adi Rassi is now considered to be a potentially large and continuous zone containing significant copper and gold mineralization. Consequently the Antofagasta/Sunridge joint-venture has now completed a geological mapping and sampling program of Adi Rassi and the results show that alteration associated with copper mineralization can be seen at surface in a zone that measures about 80m wide along a strike length of approximately 500m. This mineralized zone is associated with a major shear zone that trends northeast for over 3km.

During the 1930's the Italians mined Adi Rassi by excavating 10 to 20m deep pits along the shear zone to mine oxide copper, most of which was focused in the mineralized South Hill zone.

The Adi Rassi copper/gold prospect is located about 8km southeast of Sunridge's 100% owned Debarwa high-grade copper/gold VMS deposit. The copper and gold mineralization at the Adi Rassi prospect is associated with quartz veins and breccia zones along a major shear zone that trends northeast and dips steeply to the west. This mineralization is mainly hosted in strongly foliated and distorted altered mafic volcanic tuff and flows.
