16 July 2010 ASX / MEDIA RELEASE Sundance Resources Mbalam Project receives environmental approval
International iron ore company Sundance Resources (ASX: SDL � �Sundance� or �the Company�) is pleased to announce that it has received environmental approval from the Government of the Republic of Cameroon for its Mbalam Iron Ore Project. The Cameroon environmental authority � the Ministry of Environment and Natural Protection ‐ has issued the Environmental Compliance Certificate for the Project. The Company�s Environmental and Social Assessment (ESA) Report was submitted to the authority in March 2010. The compliance certificate is required for the issue of a mining permit for the Project within Cameroon. The authority requested several additional and readily achievable studies be completed to update the Company�s ESA. Sundance is continuing to upgrade its environmental documentation and is having ongoing discussions with all stakeholders to ensure its practices and the development of the Project meet international standards. Sundance Acting Chief Executive Officer Peter Canterbury said �the green‐light from the environmental regulator is a key milestone for the Mbalam Project as Sundance seeks to position itself as the leading developer of a global‐scale regional iron ore province. Sundance is committed to ensuring its environmental practices meet the expectations of all stakeholders and are in line with international standards.�
