Sunridge Gold Corp. (SGC/TSX.V) is pleased to report on the success of an analyst’s tour to Eritrea co-hosted by Sunridge and Nevsun Resources Ltd. The tour included site visits to Sunridge’s Asmara Project and Nevsun’s Bisha Project as well as a visit to the port of Massawa. The tour included representatives from the media as well as mining analysts on the buy side and sell side. The visitors also met with members of the Eritrean Ministry and Mines.
