Sunset Cove Announces Beginning of Second Diamond Drill Hole and Increase in Claims

TORONTO, May 25, 2012 /CNW Telbec/ - (TSX: SSM) (BVL: SSM) Sunset Cove is happy to announce that the second DDH has been collared and is progressing well. This drill hole is expected to reach a depth of 350 meters and cross all of the known parallel structures in the IP Anomaly 1.

"The design of the DDH-06 is such that we will start to look at the size of the Carolay and Carolay 1 veins. There will be a distance of 100 meters between DDH-06 and DDH-07," said Lorne Woods President of Sunset Cove. "We are expect to show some continuity in the veins over distance."

The aim of this years drill program is to establish a resource calculation over a distance of 250 to 300 meters of the Carolay 1 IP zone. The 6000+ meters of drilling should allow an independent consultant to prepare a report to that effect.

In addition Sunset Cove announces that it is well into the process of staking 16 new claims with a total area of 13,700 hectares adjacent to its Carolay Silver Polymetallic property located in the region of La Libertad in the north of Peru.

Due to a new law which is named "Consulta Previa" in Peru, all new mining claims need to go through a consultation period which is undertaken by the government with the local indigenous communities before the exploration programme of the mining concession begins. This process starts after the title to the concession has been granted. The management team is also pleased to announce that these claims have now been published in the Peruvian Gazette as per the legal procedure governed by INGEMMET.

The company is confident that a positive conclusion will be announced soon. When the new claims are added to the existing claims Sunset will control close to 20,000 hectares.
