About Sulliden

Sulliden is a Canadian-based mining company focused on the exploration and development of its wholly owned Shahuindo Gold Project, located in Peru. This project is located in one of the world's most prolific gold producing districts and is home to world-class gold mines including Barrick Gold's Lagunas Norte Mine, 30 km to the south, and the Yanacocha Mine operated by Newmont Mining Company, 80 km to the north; both million-ounce per year producing mines. A positive Preliminary Assessment for the Shahuindo Gold Project was completed in December 2009 and a Feasibility Study is currently underway.
