Sunrise Resources PLC split the NewPerl project area in Nevada into two for future permitting reasons.

The company named the northern portion the Jackson Wash project, and the southern area kept the name NewPerl.

Additionally, the company reported positive results from expansion testing of samples from new discovery areas on the project.

Sunrise said Jan. 3 that a majority of October's samples are suitable for production, and the project can move quickly to drilling, bulk sampling and commercial-scale testing.
