DIRECTOR DEALING, ISSUE OF EQUITY & TOTAL VOTING RIGHTS

Sunrise Resources plc, the AIM-traded company focusing on the development of its CS Pozzolan-Perlite Project in Nevada, USA, wishes to announce as follows:

Issue of New Ordinary Shares

Pursuant to terms first agreed on 20 August 2008, and in order for the Company to preserve cash for its project activities, the directors of the Company will again be receiving settlement of a portion of their outstanding fees in ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares"), calculated with reference to the closing mid-market price on the trading day prior to the issue of the Ordinary Shares.

Yesterday, Monday 16 January 2023, the Board resolved to issue a total of 20,116,000 new Ordinary Shares to the directors (the "New Ordinary Shares"), in settlement of a portion of outstanding net fees, for the six-month period ended 30 September 2022. The New Ordinary Shares were issued at a price of 0.1 pence per share, being the closing mid-market price on AIM on Friday 13 January 2023.

The following table shows the number of New Ordinary Shares issued to the directors and their total holdings following the issue of the New Ordinary Shares:

Director	Number of New Ordinary Shares issued	Total interest in Ordinary Shares following Admission	% of Company's issued share capital following Admission
Patrick Cheetham*	4,800,000	252,332,996	6.41
Roger Murphy	7,658,000	72,751,787	1.85
James Cole	7,658,000	14,521,763	0.37

* includes 5,500,000 shares held by K E Cheetham, wife of P Cheetham.

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for 20,116,000 New Ordinary Shares, which will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares, to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"), and it is expected that Admission will occur on or around Friday 20 January 2023.

Total Voting Rights

In accordance with the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules ("DTRs"), following the issue of the New Ordinary Shares and Admission, the total issued share capital of the Company with voting rights will be 3,933,675,087 Ordinary Shares.

The above figure of 3,933,675,087 Ordinary Shares may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the DTRs.

Commenting today, Executive Chairman Patrick Cheetham said:

"I am grateful to see my fellow directors join me in taking their fees in shares once again. This not only allows us to maximise the funds available for our projects, but underlines the Board's continuing commitment to the Company."
