SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunergy, Inc. (the "Company") (OTCQB: SNEY) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Hans Strand to the position of Country Administrator in Sierra Leone, West Africa. Mr. Strand received his education in Germany and has lived in Napa, Ca. since 1991. He is a highly motivated professional with extensive background in the construction and manufacturing industry. He has excellent communication and interpersonal skills, combined with extensive construction management experience. He has been the owner of several construction businesses and excels at developing new business. He has substantial experience in operating heavy equipment and in the concrete and gravel pumping business. His long term and trusted relationship with Garrett Hale, Sunergy Advisory Board Member and Director of Sunergy's subsidiary in Sierra Leone, allows for a significant level of responsibility to be placed on his shoulders as our Country Administrator. Mr. Strand is interested in earning equity in our company as an incentive to optimizing our operations.

Company President, CFO Larry Bigler, CPA comments: "In keeping with management's commitment to bring professional grade personnel to all our operations, Mr. Strand demonstrates the qualities and experience to become an effective Country Administrator. It is very important to have someone like Hans to coordinate all our business and make certain the operations information is provided to Sunergy in a timely and accurate manner so we may easily keep our filing requirements current."

Mohammed El Tayyib Bah, Country Director, Sierra Leone says: "I am pleased to have the assistance of a professional operations leader to enable us to run an efficient and transparent mining operation in Sierra Leone. As we have an eye to grow our overall operations this year, Hans will enable us to do so in a professional manner. Hans should be a good compliment to Wilfred Ullrich, our dredge master and Chief of Operations, as they both share the desire to excel at whatever they do."

2012 Operations

With the appointment of Mr. Strand, Sunergy is now preparing to start its 4^th quarter 2012 operations in the next few weeks.  We have targeted some initial operations that will not be adversely affected by the rainy season for the balance of this year and we will have a head start on the regular operating season once the rains subside.  This year we will establish a pilot plant recovery facility to process our sands for gold recovery, Ree's and other marketable product separation while establishing a resource category of minable material along the Pampana River.

Finance Plans: 

Management is cognizant of the potential dilutive effect of financing and is pleased to report that on July 16, 2012, 344,427,460 Warrants that had not been exercised expired.  These Warrants were issued in January 2010 for the Allied acquisition, additional private placements and to Management and operations personnel.  All Warrants were extended for an additional 6 months from their respective expiry dates in January 2012. All 439,142,487 remaining Warrants are priced from $0.005 to $0.007 and will expire on their respective maturity dates if not exercised. Should they be exercised, over $2,400,000 could be realized in new financing.  $211,580 was received from the exercise of 57,332,500 Warrants over the last several months.

We have budgeted around $100,000 on operations in Sierra Leone between October and December 31, 2012 on  our 140 sq. km. Pampana River gold and Ree's concession.  During Q1 and Q2 of 2013 we have budgeted around $350,000 for both the Pampana operation and other targeted growth projects currently in our sights.

These funds will be raised through a combination of private placements for restricted shares, at a later date, favorable short term cash loans as we have done in the past and gold debentures given $1,700/oz. gold prices.  This year's operations will involve cash flow from the recoverable gold from our stockpile and from new material recovered in this year's operations. We estimate the Pilot Plant operation will commence in Q1 2013.  This will minimize audit challenges for 2012 and we want to expand our stockpile significantly prior to start-up of the pilot plant in order to optimize operating efficiency for a better and more representative economic result.
