Since then Sunrise Resources Company has made a number of new kimberlite discoveries in Finland and expanded its portfolio of diamond exploration interests in Finland. Sunrise has also joined forces with BHP Billiton to exploit the BHP Billiton diamond exploration database for Finland.

Exploration for this project is scheduled to start after the grant of the licence which is expected mid-2010.In September 2009 the Company was awarded an exploration licence in south-west Ireland for the industrial mineral barite (the Derryginagh Project). Past mining of high value filler grade barite and more recent drilling has indicated the potential for a modest scale mining operating that could, in time, produce a valuable cash flow for the Company. Most recently Sunrise Resources Company announced promising results from initial metallurgical testwork and product testing and further work is planned.Most recently Sunrise Resources Company secured an option agreement for the Long Lake Gold-Nickel-Copper-PGM project20km south-west of the City of Sudbury, Ontario (Canada).

The claims also cover potential extensions to the currently producing Copper Cliff dyke system at the heart of the World’s most productive nickel-copper mining complex.The acquisition of the Long lake project completes an important stage in the strategic development of the Company’s project portfolio.
