Completion of topographic survey at Ferensola P...

24 June 2014 Sula Iron and Gold plc ("Sula" or the "Company") Completion of topographic survey at Ferensola Project Sula Iron and Gold, the exploration and development company focused on iron ore in Sierra Leone, is pleased to announce the completion of a high-resolution topographic survey of its main Iron Ore target at its 100% owned Ferensola Project. The survey was conducted between 2 and 6 June 2014 by Kevin Saunders of DM & S surveys utilising an unmanned aerial vehicle ("UAV"). The rugged terrain over the target area required a detailed topographic survey to allow the calculation of accurate volumes of material for the Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") and the results of this work will provide the necessary level of confidence in the topography. The survey required the installation of a series of take-off and landing zones of clear ground and 12 ground control points. The area was then flown over with a UAV, collecting a mosaic of high-resolution photographs over an area of approximately 16 sq km. The photographs are processed to give an initial Digital Surface Model ("DSM") which is then further processed to give a Digital Terrain Model ("DTM"). The initial DSM and an example of a high resolution photograph (<5cm pixel) of the drill camp at the BIF are available in a pdf version of this announcement on the Company's website at www.sulairongold.com. The final DTM will be available by the end of July.

The Company's main objective is to explore and advance its Ferensola Projects, in Northern Sierra Leone, that are highly prospective for iron and gold. Sula is currently focussed on delineating a maiden JORC compliant iron resource estimate and evaluating the gold prospectivity. The 153 sq. km licence area is contiguous to African Minerals' operational Tonkolili Iron Mine, which has a JORC compliant resource of 12.8 billion tonnes iron mineralisation. Exploration work at the project has confirmed the presence of Banded Iron Formation (`BIF') at surface, which has a known strike length of 3.1km. The BIF is proven to extend NE from the Tonkolili licence and into Sula's licence area. A 2,000m scout drilling programme conducted over a 2.2km section of BIF, confirmed the Licence area's prospectivity for consistently high grade iron mineralisation. An exploration target of 500 million tonnes at 30.4% iron for magnetite and 55% iron for hematite has been given by exploration consultants SRK Exploration Services Ltd. 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. The information in this release that relates to Exploration Results has been reviewed by Mr Andrew Dacey, Non-Executive Technical Director of Sula Iron and Gold plc. Mr Dacey is a Fellow of the Institute of Materials Minerals and Mining, a Registered Professional Geologist with the Australian Institute of Geoscientists and a Competent Person as defined in the Australasian Code for Reporting of exploration results and Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves.
