Sunrise Resources plc has provided a truckload sample of 25 tons of CS natural
pozzolan from its Nevada project to a potentially “large” customer for testing and market trials.
MOMENTUM
The “mine ready” project in Esmeralda County already has main operating permits for 14.5 million tons of natural pozzolan and 1.3Mt of perlite.
The company also holds an additional area, Northeast Zone, containing a 0.3km by 0.6km target with a drilled thickness of more than 40m from surface.
Sunrise noted that CS project’s natural pozzolan is a “supplementary cementitious material a partial substitute for Portland cement in the production of green cements and concrete”.
Executive chairman Patrick Cheetham added that recent pozzalan investments and acquisitions in Arizona and Utah reflected a “momentum building in the supplementary cementitious materials space”.
“I think these transactions underline that this is the right time to be involved in the natural
pozzolan business and we are now seeing increased retail investor speculation in this space.”
HAZEN
The company also reported positive news from its second project of Hazen pozzolan in Churchill County, North Nevada.
The project, under option signed in July for a US$800,000 sale to a “large US-based company”, received permission on 8 September for drill testing.
The three-month option period, and any extensions, will now run from 8 September 2025.
