TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 03/13/12 -- Sulliden Gold Corporation Ltd. ('Sulliden', or the 'Company') (TSX: SUE)(OTCQX: SDDDF)(LMA: SUE) is pleased to announce that it has acquired a 100% interest in the Vikingo mining concessions located adjacent to its Shahuindo Project in northern Peru. The acquisition of the Vikingo mining concessions provides the Company with important new land on potential strike length extensions of the current mineral deposit of the Shahuindo property (see Figure 1). In addition, Sulliden also successfully negotiated an amendment and extension of its previous right to purchase the Atimmsa mining concessions. These two new agreements significantly increase Sulliden's land position.

About Sulliden
