Silver Sun: Milling from Cherry Hill Yields 15.21 oz/T Gold in Concentrate

Silver Sun Resource Corp. ('Silver Sun? or 'the Company?) is pleased to
announce that initial assays received from half of the gravity circuit
concentrates returned a weighted average of 15.21 oz/T gold and 5.17
oz/T silver from 1,260 pounds of mineralized material from the Cherry
Hill Mine.

In January the Company processed 210 tons of mineralized material from
the Cherry Hill Mine at its contract mill in Grants Pass, Oregon (see
news release dated Jan. 19^th, 2012) to determine the best
methods for optimal recovery of precious metals together as well as to
quantifying the amounts, if any, of deleterious elements present in the
tailings.

From the 210 ton of material processed the Company received 10,120 lbs.
of floatation concentrate and 2,360 lbs. of gravity concentrate via a
Nelson concentrator. 1,260 lbs. of the gravity concentrate were
subsequently run across a shaker table in order to further process the
material and create 4 smaller different concentrates. Representative
samples of each shaker table concentrate were then sent for analysis.
The number 1 concentrate, or "super con′, is the material that passes
directly across the shaker table. The number 4 concentrate is the
lightest material and, in this case, contains predominately quartz and
only very fine grained sulphides. The table below breaks down the assays
of each concentrate created by the shaker table.

* T = short ton (2,000 pounds)

The samples for the gravity concentrates were prepared and analyzed by
ALS Chemex at their facilities in Vancouver, B.C. using their "specialty
assay procedure′ and generally consisted of 0.1 kg of material. Gold
analyses were performed by Fire Assay Fusion (FA-FUSION) utilizing
Gravimetric, AAS or ICP finish depending on the concentration and silver
was analyzed as part of a multi-element ICP package using an aqua regia
digestion.

Samples from the floatation concentrates were sent to Norris Labs,
Montana and the Company is awaiting the assays. Further samples were
sent to Just Refiners in Sparks, Nevada for analysis prior to sale.

Additional processing planned:

The samples for the tailings were prepared and analyzed by ALS Chemex at
their facilities in Reno, Nevada and generally consisted of 0.1 kg of
material. Gold analyses were performed by 30 gram fire assay with an AA
finish and silver was analyzed as part of a multi-element ICP package
using an aqua regia digestion. Assay results from the tailings provided
to the Grants Pass mill indicate that all levels of arsenic, mercury,
bismuth and other deleterious elements are below state limits and can be
disposed of onsite with no additional processing. As a result, the
Company intends to run an additional 200 tons of its mineralized
material within the next two weeks to further refine the extraction
process in anticipation of ramping production at Cherry Hill up to 1,000
tons per month.
