Sulliden Announces Initial Exploration Results-Extends Mineralization at Shahuindo
TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 09/09/09 -- Sulliden Exploration Inc. ("Sulliden") (TSX: SUE) is pleased to announce initial results of the exploration campaign currently ongoing on its Shahuindo Gold Project in northern Peru. This is the first significant exploration program since 2004 and follows the successful resolution of all ownership litigation on the project.
The objective of this exploration program is to determine the potential to expand the ore body beyond the mineral resource established by Met-Chem in 2004. The drill campaign, totalling 4127 meters, is complete and results are available for 1,301 meters of reverse circulation drilling. A 500 meter surface trenching program was also completed.
Assays from the first six reverse circulation holes have all returned mineralization with significant intersections at:
- Hole RSH09-01 returning 0.69 g/t gold over 79.5m
- Hole RSH09-02 returning 0.92 g/t gold over 19.5m
- Hole RSH09-03 returning 0.68 g/t gold over 58.5m and 0 .60 g/t gold over 115m
- Hole RSH09-04 returning 0.72 g/t gold over 63m
- Hole RSH09-05 returning 0.88 g/t gold over 76.5m
The Preliminary Economic Assessment, scheduled for completion in September, established a 0.22g/t gold economic cut-off grade. Please refer to the press-release from August 5th, 2009 for more information.
"We are encouraged by the initial results from the current exploration campaign at the Shahuindo Gold Project" commented Peter Tagliamonte, President and CEO "Our initial exploration campaign is to test on the potential to expand the mineral resources along the trend between the San Jose, East and Moyan Alto Zones. The exploration team is doing a great job in showing that the current Shahuindo mineralization can be expanded and we are encouraged with the results. We are now planning the next, significantly larger phase of exploration, which we believe will allow Sulliden to expand the mineral resources as we move the Shahuindo Gold Project into the next stages of development."
The exploration campaign targeted areas between the East Zone and Moyan Alto Zone. The primary target area, identified as the "Gap Zone", is located on trend between the San Jose Zone and the East Zone. The second target area, named the "Junction Zone", is located on trend between the East Zone and Moyan Alto Zone. The initial results of this campaign demonstrate a strong likelihood of continuity between the mineralized zones and indicate the potential to expand the current resource.

Sulliden Exploration Inc.: The Superior Court of Lima,
Peru Reaffirms Sulliden's Title to Shahuindo
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(CCNMatthews - Sept. 23, 2004) - Sulliden
Exploration Inc. (TSX: SUE) is pleased to announce that it has
just received notification of two significant judicial decisions
issued by the Fifth Civil Chamber of the Superior Court of Lima,
Peru in connection with the legal title to Sulliden's Shahuindo
gold/silver project in Peru.
The first decision revokes the illegal injunction obtained by
Alta Tecnologia e Inversion Minera y Metalurgica S.A.
("Atimmsa"), the new shareholder of Compania Minera Algamarca
S.A. ("Algamarca"), that questioned the validity of the Transfer
Agreement between Minera Sulliden Shahuindo S.A.C and Algamarca,
and which temporarily suspended the Agreement's provisions. The
Transfer Agreement was officially formalized in a public deed
before a Peruvian Notary on November 11, 2002 in full accordance
with Peruvian law. This decision, which confirms the Tenth Civil
Court of Lima's decision that nullified the procedures initiated
by Atimmsa, validates Sulliden's ownership of the Shahuindo
property.
The second decision pertains to the nullification of the
resolution that had originally admitted the complaint by Atimmsa
against Sulliden on the basis that Atimmsa, having acquired
control of Algamarca after the Transfer Agreement was already in
effect, was not a party to this Agreement and therefore should
not be entitled to petition the Courts to declare its invalidity.
The aforenoted judicial decisions of the Superior Court follow
the Supreme Court's unanimous ruling last November in Sulliden's
favour declaring the incompetence of the judge in La Esperanza,
Trujillo who had admitted the complaint. This concludes the
lawsuit pertaining to the injunction which should result in
Sulliden's ownership of Shahuindo being properly reflected in the
public registry.
Sulliden is a mineral exploration company focused on the
development of its 100% interest in the Shahuindo gold-silver
project located 25 km north of Barrick Gold's Alto Chicama gold
deposit and 70 km south of Newmont's Yanacocha deposits in
northern Peru. On March 8, 2004, the Company announced a new
resource estimate conducted by Met-Chem Canada Inc. in accordance
with NI 43-101 of 34.4 million tonnes at 1.03 g/t of gold and
23.61 g/t of silver for a total resource of 1,114,076 ounces of
gold and 26,108,808 ounces of silver. A technical report has been
filed with the regulatory authorities and is available on SEDAR
(www.sedar.com).
The second phase drilling program at Shahuindo is underway to
outline the property's global potential through diamond drilling
on new target areas identified by encouraging soil geochemistry,
ground magnetics and trenching results. In addition, Sulliden has
an option to earn a 66% interest on a further 1,900 hectares
adjoining the Shahuindo property known as the Vikingo
concessions, bringing its exposure in this exciting gold district
to almost 10,000 hectares.
Certain of the information contained in this news release may
constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such
forward-looking statements include without limitation, statements
regarding estimates of reserves and resources, future plans and
objectives, results of exploration, uncertainty with respect to
changes in general economic or political conditions, title to
properties, litigation, legislative, environmental and other
judicial, regulatory and competitive developments in areas in
which the Company operates. There can be no assurance that such
statements will prove to be accurate; actual results and future
events could differ materially from those anticipated in such
statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from Sulliden's expectations are disclosed
under the heading "Risk Factors" in its 2004 Annual Report as
well as in its Annual Information Form (AIF) both of which are
filed with Canadian regulators on SEDAR.

Mr. Jean-Charles Potvin reports
SULLIDEN RETAINS ARUNTANI TO ADVANCE SHAHUINDO TOWARDS PRODUCTION; ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENT OF MR. GUIDO DEL CASTILLO TO BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Sulliden Exploration Inc., through its wholly owned Peruvian subsidiary, Minera Sulliden Shahuindo S.A.C., has signed a strategic and technical co-operation agreement with Aruntani S.A.C., Peru's largest privately held gold-producing company, to assist in advancing its Shahuindo gold/silver property toward the production stage.
Aruntani, widely recognized for its expertise in the design, construction and operation of heap leach gold mines, is acclaimed for the rapid advancement of two of southern Peru's largest discoveries, the Santa Rosa and Tucari deposits, estimated to produce about 180,000 ounces in 2004. These deposits were developed at extremely competitive low capital costs and in record time. Sulliden expects to benefit significantly from Aruntani's expertise in the development of its Shahuindo property.
The president of Aruntani, Guido del Castillo, has accepted Sulliden's invitation to join as a member of the board of directors. Mr. del Castillo has more than 35 years of experience in open-pit and underground mining operations, and is a prominent and highly respected personality in Peruvian mining.
"We are deeply honoured to welcome Mr. del Castillo to the Sulliden board and look forward to strengthening our relationship with a first-class operator as Aruntani," added Jacques Trottier, president and chief executive officer of Sulliden, on behalf of the board of directors. "Sulliden will be entering an exciting new chapter that will ensure the maximization of the rich potential of its Shahuindo property." The company also wishes to gratefully acknowledge the contributions of Leonard Harris, former president of Newmont Peru, who continues to work diligently as a director of Sulliden.
Mr. del Castillo began his long and illustrious career in mineral engineering having graduated from the Escuela Nacional Ingenieros in Lima followed by graduate studies at the Colorado School of Mines. He is currently president of MDH S.A.C. and Bradley-MDH S.A.C., a joint venture with Bradley Brothers of Rouyn-Noranda of Quebec, Canada.
The second phase drilling program at Shahuindo is currently under way to outline the property's global potential through diamond drilling on new target areas identified by encouraging soil geochemistry, ground magnetics and trenching results. The first set of drilling results and a geochemistry update are expected to be announced in Stockwatch in September, 2004. In addition, Sulliden has an option on a further 1,900 hectares adjoining the Shahuindo property known as the Vikingo concessions, bringing its landholdings in this exciting gold district to almost 10,000 hectares.
WARNING: The company relies upon litigation protection for "forward-looking" statements.

Sulliden Begins Drilling At Shahuindo Property; Appoints
New General Manager Of Exploration
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(CCNMatthews - Apr 27, 2004) - Sulliden
Exploration Inc. (TSX: SUE) is pleased to announce that it has
commenced drilling at its Shahuindo gold/silver project in the
Cajamarca district of northern Peru.
Drilling has begun on the eastern section of the property,
approximately 1 km from the final drill hole of the first phase
drilling program completed last year. Recent soil geochemistry
and geophysics have suggested the potential continuity of the
mineralization to the east and to the north, resulting in
expansion into areas of the property never before tested. Recent
trenching results have revealed a number of anomalies where
mineralization appears to be disseminated within oxidized porous
sediments resembling that previously encountered in the known
zones.
This second phase of exploration has been designed to outline the
global potential of the 10,000 hectare property with a minimum of
10,000 meters of diamond drilling. The initial focus will be
directed at new target areas identified by recent encouraging
soil geochemistry, ground magnetics and trenching, followed by
the extension of the mineralized lenses which remain open along
strike.
Sulliden is also pleased to announce the appointment of Mr.
Vernon Arseneau to the position of General Manager of
Exploration. Mr. Arseneau will be based in Sulliden's Lima office
and will be responsible for the Company's exploration activities,
drawing on his nearly thirty years of technical and
organizational experience with projects throughout Latin America
and Canada. He comes to Sulliden after twenty years with Noranda
Inc. having served as General Manager for Noranda Peru SAC in
addition to heading its exploration efforts in Argentina.
"Vernon's accomplishments and expertise have placed him among the
who's who in international exploration," adds Jacques Trottier,
President of Sulliden Exploration. We have entered an exciting
chapter in Shahuindo's development with the talent and expertise
in place to explore its world class potential."
Sulliden Exploration Inc. is a mineral exploration company
focused on the development of its 100% interest in the Shahuindo
gold-silver project located 25 km north of Alto Chicama and 70 km
south of Yanacocha in northern Peru. In 2003, the first phase of
a 3,450 meter drilling program identified a high grade gold and
silver Breccia zone as well as five new target areas. This formed
the basis of a new resource calculation in March 2004 by Met-Chem
Canada Inc. of 25.8 million tonnes of 1.07 g/t gold and 23.97 g/t
silver in the indicated category, and 8.5 million tonnes of 0.92
g/t gold and 22.54 g/t silver in the inferred category.

NOVEMBER 17, 2003 - 08:45 ET
Sulliden Receives Favorable Ruling from Supreme Court in
Peru
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--In a decisive and unanimous Supreme Court
ruling in Lima, Peru, Sulliden has received official notification
that the judge in La Esperanza, Trujillo, who had previously
acted in favour of the counterparty regarding the legitimacy of
Sulliden's purchase contract of the Shahuindo property, has been
declared legally incompetent in the matter. As a consequence of
this judgement, any actions undertaken with respect thereto are
expected to be reversed and declared null and void. The Supreme
Court has notified Sulliden that legal title to its Shahuindo
property will be officially presided over in Lima where
Sulliden's transfer of title to the property was duly signed and
formalized before a public notary earlier in November, 2002 when
the company completed purchase, and where the parties hold legal
domicile.
"This is a major ruling in our favour", asserts Dr. Jacques
Trottier, President and CEO of Sulliden. "We have always
maintained confidence about the validity of our legal title to
Shahuindo, and are very pleased to have received the unanimous
support of the Supreme Court of Peru". The ruling is expected to
have a decisive impact on the course of events in the weeks ahead
that should result in Sulliden's registered title to Shahuindo
official and final.
On another note, Sulliden is pleased to announce that it has made
the fourth consecutive installment in the amount of US$840,000 in
accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement for the

Sulliden Exploration Inc: Geochemical Program Update on
Gold-Silver Shahuindo Property in Peru
MONTREAL, CANADA--Sulliden Exploration Inc. (TSX: SUE) is pleased
to announce that it has completed the first part of a detailed
geochemical soil sampling program on its 70%-owned Shahuindo
gold-silver property in the department of Cajamarca, northern
Peru.
This portion of the program focused on the target areas
identified during the first phase of drilling that was completed
earlier in August of this year and comprised approximately 90
line kilometers with samples taken every 50 meters. The results
very clearly show numerous and distinct areas of anomalous gold
in soil, including one directly overlying the known San Jose zone
as indicated by a contour line at values higher than 200 parts
per billion (ppb). (Gold values over 120 ppb are considered
anomalous). This is significant insofar as it confirms the
reliability of the geochemistry as an appropriate exploration
means for the property. Moreover, the anomaly is seen as
extending the high grade Breccia zone to the North for an
additional 300 meters, which remains largely untested by
drilling.
Another area of particular interest is developing around a gold
anomaly with indicated values of over 120 ppb up to 3,500 ppb
over the area labelled the West zone. The anomaly has a minimum
strike length of 800 meters, some 100-300 meters in width and
open to the west. To date, only one diamond drill hole has
effectively tested this area at its eastern limit, hole SH03-16,
which was previously reported to have returned 0.95 grams of gold
per tonne over 30 meters.
A further anomaly of 400 meters in length lies north and on
strike with the East zone. Yet another anomaly is currently being
explored which is located to the north contact of the main
porphyry and corresponds to a strong IP chargeability. In total,
at least four new distinct and significant untested anomalous
areas have emerged over a strike length of 5 kilometers, three of
which remain open at the borders of the current grid.
As a result of the encouraging indications in the geochemistry
and in view of the current grid area covering roughly only
one-quarter of the entire property, the Company has decided to
extend the known grid with complete sampling to be undertaken on
lines every 200 meters over the property's entirety with in-fill
lines every 100 meters in areas of anomalous values. Results of
the complete program including the extended areas are expected in
the next several weeks.
Sulliden Exploration Inc. is a mineral exploration company with
interests located in Canada and Peru. Its principal asset is its
70% interest in the Shahuindo gold-silver project in northern

gold mineralization. A second phase of drilling is planned before
the end of this year, upon receipt of all the required permits
from the Peruvian authorities. The Company currently has
35,481,331 shares outstanding with working capital of over $6

SUE testing ore recoveries:
Press Release Source: Sulliden Exploration Inc.
Sulliden Reports Excellent Metallurgical Results From its High Grade Gold-Silver Breccia Zone at Shahuindo, Peru
Wednesday October 1, 10:53 am ET
MONTREAL, CANADA--Sulliden Exploration Inc. (TSX: SUE - News) announces excellent metallurgical test results of drill core samples taken from the Breccia Zone of its 70% owned Shahuindo gold-silver property in the department of Cajamarca, northern Peru.
In a report produced by Kappes, Cassiday & Associates (KCA) of Reno, Nevada detailing results of metallurgical testing it performed on drill core samples taken from the high grade Breccia Zone located adjacent to the main San Jose Zone, recovery rates for as-received gold samples averaged 88%, while stage-crushed samples were much higher at 96%. Silver recovery for as-received samples averaged 52%, increasing to 56% when pulverized. These results were based on Cyanide Bottle Roll Leach tests performed to evaluate the recovery rate of gold and silver for heap-leach type operations.
The results are significantly higher than the recovery data reported earlier by Asarco which was based primarily on the main San Jose Zone and excluding the high grade Breccia Zone. First identified during Phase I of the drilling program announced in August of this year, the high-grade, high-recovery Breccia Zone located at surface has the potential to become an excellent 'starting pit' for a mining operation and should contribute significantly to the economic potential of the property.
The results also indicated remarkably fast recoveries: most of the samples reached maximum recovery after only eight hours of leaching. Average sodium cyanide consumption on the as-received and pulverized material was very low (0.33 and 0.61 kg NaCN/MT respectively) which also impacts on lower operating costs.
Sulliden Exploration Inc. is a mineral exploration company with interests located in Canada and Peru. Its principal asset is its 70% interest in the Shahuindo gold-silver project in northern Peru which recently announced encouraging results of its 27-hole first phase drilling program. A second phase of drilling is expected to begin in November of this year. The Company currently has 35,058,331 shares outstanding with working capital of over $6 million.
