2009
Sunrise Diamonds is focused on the identification, acquisition, exploration, and development of diamond projects in Finland. Its exploration activities are focused on two geographically distinct areas in the Karelian Craton, which extends over the border into Russia where it notably yields a number of world-class diamondiferous kimberlites: the first Sunrise area is at Kuusamo in north central Finland where it controls 100% of its claims in a recently discovered kimberlite cluster, the second is at at Kaavi-Kuopio which Sunrise has newly acquired by earn-in under a joint venture agreement with Canadian Nordic Diamonds Ltd. Sunrise has no debt, but is not as yet in profit; its exploration field activities have been put on hold. It continues to enjoy exclusive access to the valuable BHP Billiton data base from its former Finnish diamond exploration activities.

2008
Sunrise Diamonds is focused on the identification, acquisition, exploration, and development of diamond projects in its present Finland operations in the Karelian Craton, a prospective block which, over the border in Russia, hosts a number of world-class diamondiferous kimberlites, and where it is also exploring in Crib, Linomonosova in the Arkhangelsk region. Sunrise enjoys exclusive access to the valuable BHP Billiton data base from its former Finnish diamond exploration activities.

2007
Sunrise Diamonds is focused on the identification, acquisition, exploration, and development of diamond projects in its present Finland operations in the Karelian Craton, a prospective block which, over the border in Russia, hosts world-class diamond deposits. Sunrise’s planned drilling operations this summer have been held back somewhat by the current global shortage of drilling service providers which with the larger number of explorers operating today in Scandinavia, caused tightened drill rig availability. As a result, Sunrise was not able to complete all its drilling plans, and had to concentrate instead on gathering and analyzing more geophysical data. Sunrise enjoys exclusive access to the valuable BHP Billiton database from its former Finnish diamond exploration activities, which has resulted in Sunrise now having a surplus of drilling targets on hand, so that the rig slots that it has been able to book for the coming year should ensure faster progress and more regular news flow.
