Nyinahin mining concession on my return to Ghana in a few weeks. I am also authorized to discover and evaluate potential acquisitions or Joint Venture opportunities, which I believe are significant and important for the rapid growth of our Company."

Chairman P.K. Medhi said; "I have known of Mr. Levich through the professional associations we were both involved in for many years. I am happy to have this opportunity to work directly with Bob on building our Company. It is very beneficial to us to have him join our enterprise since he has impeccable credentials and seasoned experience and lives in Ghana for a substantial part of the year. His ability and enthusiasm for a 'hands on' approach to operations will assist us greatly in establishing confidence in our operations and opportunities."

Our initial focus is on the planning and preparation for operations on our 150 sq. km. Nyinahin mining concession, located in Ghana, West Africa. During Q4 2009 we plan to test and evaluate the alluvial gold recovery potential along the Ofin River which runs through the eastern portion of the concession for about 45 km. We plan to do this by bulk sampling the numerous existing artisan pits along the river on our concession. Our planned budget is around $300,000.00 US which could recover an estimated 1,000 oz./gold generating around $900,000.00 of revenue from the program. Our plan involves either leasing a suitable gold recovery plant or joint venturing with another operator with suitable equipment.

The Ofin River is an easterly-flowing waterway in Ghana. It flows through the Tano Ofin Reserve in Ghana's Atwima District. The Ofin riverbed is 90 meters above mean sea level. The Ofin and the Pra rivers form the boundary between Ghana's Asahanti and central regions. Dunkwa-on-Ofin is a major town on the river. Gold is mined from the river's sediment. The Ofin tributaries also offer good gold and diamond recovery historically.

About Sunergy: The Company is an aggressive junior mining exploration and development Company that is production oriented at the earliest possible profitable opportunity. We control 100% of the 150 SQ. Km. Nyinahin mining concession with a full prospecting license. The concession is surrounded by several operating mines and is adjacent to Newmont Mining's property. This concession has the Ofin river flowing through our eastern portion and there are numerous artisan pits ready for testing and evaluation for near term production. The Ofin river is known for good alluvial gold production. Artisans usually recover about 30% of the available gold through primitive hand methods, leaving 60-70% to be recovered by modern mechanical operations.
