Sunrise Resources plc, (ticker symbol 'SRES'), the AIM-quoted diversified mineral exploration and development specialist ("the Company"), announces that on 27 July 2012 the Board of Company resolved to issue 1,386,203 new ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each in the Company to its directors in lieu of net fees for the six month period ended 30 June 2012. The issue of shares to Directors in lieu of fees is in line with current Company practice and enables the Company to keep its cost base to a minimum, preserving cash for exploration activities.
The following shares have been issued:

Patrick Cheetham | 508,009 | *11,673,386 | 3.20% |

* includes 5,500,000 shares held by K E Cheetham, wife of P Cheetham.
In each case, the new ordinary shares were issued at a price of 0.7 pence per share, being the closing mid-market price of the ordinary shares on the 26 July 2012.
Application will be made for the 1,386,203 new ordinary shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and admission is expected to occur on 6 August 2012.
Following admission, the Company's enlarged issued share capital will comprise 365,251,117 ordinary shares with one voting right per share. There are no shares held in treasury and the total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 365,251,117.
This figure of 365,251,117 ordinary shares may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
