TORONTO, March 14, 2013 /CNW/ - Sulliden Gold Corporation Ltd. ("Sulliden", or the "Company") (TSX: SUE) (BVL: SUE) (OTCQX: SDDDF) provides the following permitting update for its Shahuindo Project in Peru.

Sulliden is pleased to report that on March 13, 2013, it successfully held and completed the final public audience as part of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment ("ESIA") process. The meeting was moderated by the Federal Ministry of Energy and Mines ("MINEM") and all stakeholders were invited to participate. The Company had strong community participation with well over 2,000 attendees. The completion of this public meeting marks the last required step prior to the ESIA approval.

Sulliden would like to express its sincere gratitude to all the communities and participants who attended the assembly. The Company greatly values the input and continued participation of all its stakeholders.

On December 17th, 2012, Sulliden submitted its Environmental and Social Impact Assessment to the MINEM as part of the permitting process for its Shahuindo project. The ESIA was the result of over 18 months of technical studies, including a comprehensive water management plan, the feasibility study, archeological studies, flora and fauna studies, mine closure planning, social baseline studies, and results from several months of public consultations with local communities, which were conducted by the DREM (Regional Direction of Energy and mines, Cajamarca) on behalf of the MINEM. Following the approval of the public consultation process, the MINEM scheduled the final public audience on March 13, 2013, at the Shahuindo site.
