The Company's main objective is to explore and advance its 153 sq kmFerensola Project, in Northern Sierra Leone, which is highly prospective foriron and gold. The Company is focussed on delineating a maiden JORC compliantiron resource both on the DSO and magnetite in 2014, and proving up the goldmineralisation in order to maximise the Ferensola's value potential. Anexploration target of 500 million tonnes at 30.4% iron for magnetite has beengiven by exploration consultants SRK Exploration Services Ltd. Exploration work at Ferensola has confirmed the presence of Banded IronFormation (`BIF') at surface, which has a known strike length of 3.1km.Significantly, the BIF is proven to extend NE from African Mineral's 12.8billion tonne operational Tonkolili iron mine, into Sula's licence area, whichis located contiguously to Tonkolili. Furthermore, a 2,000m scout drillingprogramme conducted over a 2.2km section of BIF in July 2013, confirmedconsistently high grade iron mineralisation at Ferensola. Significant Greenstone Belt-style gold mineralisation has also been identifiedat various prospects within the licence area. Five target areas for hard rockgold mineralisation have been identified based on the location of historicdrill intercepts, the source areas for alluvial gold deposits, and the positionof major structures as defined by airborne magnetic data and drainageorientation. Field work has been carried out recently and, following theprocessing and interpretation of all geophysical and assay results, Sula willbe able to define robust drill targets at two principal target areas - theLagunda and Yanfarina prospects. Further targets are yet to be explored.
