DIRECTOR DEALING, ISSUE OF EQUITY & TOTAL VOTING RIGHTS

Sunrise Resources plc 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 0.001 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. The Company is also settling a portion of fees payable to a supplier in Ordinary Shares at the same price.

Yesterday, 22 February 2024, the Board resolved to issue a total of 55,252,000 Ordinary Shares (the "New Ordinary Shares") being 27,474,222 New Ordinary Shares to be issued to the directors in settlement of a portion of outstanding net fees, for the seven-month period ended 31 October 2023, and 27,777,778 New Ordinary Shares to be issued to Mining and Metals Research Corporation.

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:

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for 55,252,000 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 Thursday 29 February 2024.
