AGM Results and Update on Drilling Programme

Sula Iron & Gold plc / Index: AIM / Epic: SULA / Sector: Natural Resources 31 March 2014 Sula Iron and Gold plc ("Sula" or the "Company") AGM Results and Update on Drilling Programme Sula Iron and Gold plc, a multi-commodity exploration company focussed on Sierra Leone, announces that all resolutions were duly passed at the annual general meeting of the Company held earlier today. In addition, the Company wishes to announce that it has completed the establishment of its drilling base camp at the Company's flagship Ferensola Iron Project located in the mineral rich Sula-Kangari Greenstone Belt in Sierra Leone on schedule. Sula's drill programme, prepared by SRK Exploration Services, is anticipated to commence in the coming days, with regular news flow and drilling updates throughout the 2014 field season as the Company works towards estimating a maiden JORC compliant Direct Shipping Ore (`DSO') resource. The Company expects to receive the results from its gold exploration programme, which was completed at the end of February, before the end of April 2014. The Company intends to use these results to identify future drill targets, targeting gold mineralisation. Sula CEO Nick Warrell said, "I am delighted with the progress achieved in establishing our drilling base camp. With the necessary infrastructure in place, we are well set to commence drilling on our prospective licence, as we work towards estimating a JORC compliant DSO resource by the end of the year." **ENDS** For further information please visit www.sulairongold.com or contact the following: Nick Warrell Sula Iron & Gold plc +44 (0) 78 1144 7830 Matt Wood Sula Iron & Gold plc +44 (2) 20 7583 8304 James Caithie / Avi Cairn Financial Advisers LLP +44 (0) 20 7148 7900 Robinson Martin Lampshire / David Daniel Stewart & Company Plc +44 (0) 20 7776 6550 Hart Felicity Edwards / St Brides Media and Finance +44 (0) 20 7236 1177 Charlotte Heap Ltd Notes Sula Iron & Gold plc is a multi-commodity exploration company focussed on West Africa. The Company's main objective is to explore and advance its 153 sq km Ferensola Project, in Northern Sierra Leone, which is highly prospective for iron and gold. An exploration target of 500 million tonnes at 30.4% iron for magnetite has been given by exploration consultants SRK Exploration Services Ltd. Exploration work at Ferensola has confirmed the presence of Banded Iron Formation ("BIF") at surface, which has a known strike length of 3.1km. Significantly, the BIF is proven to extend NE from African Mineral's 12.8 billion tonne operational Tonkolili iron mine, into Sula's licence area, which is located contiguously to Tonkolili. Furthermore, a 2,000m scout drilling programme conducted over a 2.2km section of BIF in July 2013, confirmed consistently high grade iron mineralisation at Ferensola. The Company is focussed on delineating a maiden JORC compliant iron resource on the DSO in 2014, and proving up the gold mineralisation in order to maximise the Ferensola's value potential. Significant Greenstone Belt-style gold mineralisation has also been identified at various prospects within the licence area. Five target areas for hard rock gold mineralisation have been identified based on the location of historic drill intercepts, the source areas for alluvial gold deposits, and the position of major structures as defined by airborne magnetic data and drainage orientation. Field work has been carried out recently and, following the processing and interpretation of all geophysical and assay results, Sula will be able to define robust drill targets at two principal target areas - the Lagunda and Yanfarina prospects. Further targets are yet to be explored.
