ABOUT SULLIDEN

Sulliden is a Canadian-based mining company focused on the exploration and development of the Shahuindo Gold Project, its 100%-owned flagship property located in a prolific gold producing district in northern Peru. This project neighbours world-class gold mines including Barrick Gold's Lagunas Norte Mine, 30 km to the south, and the Yanacocha Mine operated by Newmont Mining Company, 80 km to the north; both million-ounce per year producing mines. A positive Preliminary Assessment for the project was completed in February 2010 and a bankable Feasibility Study is expected for completion in the second quarter of 2011. While the Company progresses towards its goal of becoming a gold producer, a significant focus is being placed on exploration drilling to increase the mineral resource, which remains open in all directions and at depth. Based on the drilling success in 2009/2010, Sulliden plans to undertake approximately 70,000 meters of drilling in 2011 to continue the mineral expansion on the property. Sulliden is led by a strong management team with the proven ability to develop, finance and operate mining projects and is poised to generate superior value for its shareholders.
