SCOTTSDALE, AZ, Jul 01, 2013 (Marketwired via COMTEX) -- Sunergy, Inc. (the "Company") (otcqb:SNEY) is pleased to announce that upon completion of a recent administrative follow up trip to Sierra Leone, that its Administrative matters in Sierra Leone are on track. On May 22, 2013, subsequent to President Garret Hale's return from Sierra Leone, an official Press Release From The Ministry of Mines and Mineral Resources suspended the licenses of ten mining and exploration companies that failed to comply with the Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (EITI) process. Allied was included erroneously in this list.

"According to the release, a notice was given on the 15th March 2013, requesting Mining and Exploration Companies to comply with the EITI process by submitting a complete Sierra Leone Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (SLEITI) Reporting templates together with copies of all relevant financial documents in support of payments made to government entities during the period 2008 to 2010 to be submitted latest Wednesday 24th March 2013.

"These companies have failed to comply with section 159 and 160 of the Mines and Minerals Act of 2009, and have not been certified by the Auditor-General Office which have led to their names being deleted from the Online Repository, adding that the general public is warned to refrain from doing any business with the affected companies until further notice."

On May 31, 2013, our wholly owned Sierra Leone subsidiary, Allied Mining and Supply, LTD responded to this notice as follows: "Allied Mining and Supply LTD - Compliance With Provisions of Appendix G of SLEITI ...Dear Sir/ Madam, We submit on behalf of our Clients Messers Allied Mining and Supply LTD completed templates in fulfillment of the requirements in Appendix G and relevant receipts.

"We regret the delay in forwarding this submission which resulted from the former director of Mines (Deceased) being unable to deliver a set of the templates he had collected from Mr. Kenie Lamin, Allied's person, for action by Company. The production of receipts for payments covering 2009-2010 clearly indicates the Company to be a good corporate citizen.

"We request that you cause the suspension of Allied to be lifted soonest and thus restore the standing of the Company in the eyes of the Public, its Shareholders and Directors.

Yours faithfully, A Mahdi Consulting Geologist And on Behalf of Allied Mining and Supply LTD"

We were advised that this matter has been satisfied, however, another letter from the Ministry of Mines sent May 20, 2013 and received in early June outlined their intent to cancel our mineral rights based on lack of information. We were given 30 days to rectify this lack of information. In the process of responding, Mr Alieu Mahdi, Consulting Geologist in a face to face meeting with the Ministry, was advised that the reason for this action was that the Allied file was actually missing with all the compliance information. On June 17, 2013 a letter was written in response to the May 20, 2013 letter outlining the "missing Allied Files" and providing annual Reports and receipts for payment. We were invited to provide a renewal application under a priority filing condition to receive a four year exploration license renewal going forward. Previous annual assessments under the original EXPL 5/2009 were $250/km, but under the new license and new law, the annual assessments will be $100/km. This application is being finalized and will be submitted this week. Pampana operations are temporarily suspended pending the outcome of the filings and approvals from the Minerals Commission. Our new work plan involves exploration on the terraces that flank the Pampana which can be done in all seasons.

Another planned large gold, rare earth and Diamond operation that will offer potential immediate cash flow is being pursued at this time in another highly prospective region for diamonds in Sierra Leone. We are looking to add operations wherever possible subject to capital budgeted for those operations. We cannot go into details at this time due to confidentiality constraints but will share relevant information when available.
