Sulliden announces conditional listing approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange for SpinCo Shares

TORONTO, July 30, 2014 - Sulliden Gold Corporation Ltd. ("Sulliden", or the "Company") (TSX: SUE) (BVL: SUE) (OTCQX: SDDDF) is pleased to announce the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") has conditionally approved the listing of the common shares ("SpinCo Shares") of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Sulliden Mining Capital Inc. (formerly 2422222 Ontario Inc.) ("SpinCo"). SpinCo will trade under the ticker symbol: SMC.

As part of a plan of arrangement between Rio Alto Mining Ltd. ("Rio Alto"), the Company, and SpinCo pursuant to an arrangement agreement dated June 13, as amended (the "Arrangement"), it is expected that current shareholders of Sulliden will receive 0.1 of one SpinCo Share for each common share of Sulliden held. The effective date of the Arrangement is expected to be August 5, 2014. As part of the Arrangement, Sulliden will convey the claims composing its East Sullivan property near Val d'Or, Québec to SpinCo. For more information with respect to the Arrangement and the business of SpinCo upon completion of the Arrangement, see the management information circular of the Company and joint management information circular supplement of the Company and Rio Alto dated June 26, 2014, available under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com

The continued listing of the SpinCo Shares will be conditional upon, among other things, the "market value" of the SpinCo Shares not being less than $20 million for any consecutive 30 day period during the first three months from the date of listing. The "market value" will be determined with reference to the number of issued and outstanding SpinCo Shares listed on TSX multiplied by the volume weighted average trading price of the SpinCo Shares on the TSX for the five trading days prior to the relevant calculation date. If the "market value" is less than $20 million for any such consecutive 30 day period within the three months from the date the SpinCo Shares are first listed, the Company will proceed to de-list the SpinCo Shares from the TSX. Should this occur, Sulliden expects SpinCo would seek an alternative listing for the SpinCo Shares.


About Sulliden Gold Corporation Ltd.

Sulliden is a mineral exploration and development company focused on advancing its flagship Shahuindo project to production. Currently in its permitting phase, this low cost heap leach gold and silver project is located in a prolific gold-producing district in northern Peru. A September 2012 Feasibility Study (based on $1,415 Gold and $27 Silver) on the foundation phase of the project estimates an initial CAPEX of $131.8 million that will support an annual mining rate of 3.65 million tonnes producing approximately 90,000 of gold equivalent ounces for 10.4 years at cash operating costs of $552/oz. This initial mine scenario features a pre tax IRR of 52.2% and post-tax IRR of 37.8%. The technical study considers only approximately 40% of the gold ounces from the total oxide mineral resource. Additional mineral resource growth is anticipated from a number of highly prospective exploration targets on the property that remain largely unexplored. Sulliden is led by a proven management team with hands-on experience developing and operating mines in Latin America.

Sulliden shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") under the symbol "SUE", on the Bolsa de Valores, Lima ("BVL"), also under the symbol "SUE", and on the premier tier of the U.S. Over-the-Counter market ("OTCQX") under the symbol "SDDDF".
