(Alliance News) - Sunrise Resources PLC on Tuesday reported positive test results from recent commercial concrete pours using natural pozzolan from CS pozzolan-perlite deposit in Nevada, US.
The AIM-listed miner said two commercial concrete pours were carried out by Cement & Ready-Mix Co as due diligence towards commercial agreement. Preliminary results showed early strength gain in excess of target strengths.
"The preliminary results from the concrete pours using CS natural pozzolan are first-rate and, we anticipate, will provide the basis for a more structured arrangement with the Cement & Ready-Mix Co carrying out this work," said Chair Patrick Cheetham.
In addition, Sunrise Resources said all planned trials on the raw perlite produced from the 100-ton sample have now been completed and results received.
"Whilst development of the perlite for uses other than for natural pozzolan is the smaller of the two business opportunities at the CS project, we are pleased to have received great feedback from the most recent customer trials of our horticultural grade raw perlite and look forward to advancing this and other production options in tandem with the production of natural pozzolan," added Cheetham.
Sunrise Resources shares were trading 4.9% higher in London on Tuesday at 0.23 pence each.
