Eritrea seeks talks with Nevsun, Sunridge

Two resource companies under a stop-work order in Eritrea have been invited to government meetings to discuss the ban. In separate statements, Nevsun Resources Ltd. and Sunridge Gold Corp. yesterday said they had received letters from the government of Eritrea requesting "consultation meetings." The companies have been under a stop-work order since Sept. 2. Before the order, Nevsun had been drilling the Bisha copper-gold project in Eritrea. Nevsun also has projects in Mali. Sunridge had been working on the Asmara copper-gold deposit in Eritrea. Nevsun president John Clarke said the request for a meeting from the Eritrean Minister of Mines is "very encouraging." The government has given no details or reasons for the order. Eritrea was at war with neighbouring Ethiopia between 1998 and 2000, and there is currently a border dispute between the two countries. NSU (TSX) rose 76 cents to $2.90. SGC (TSXV) rose 45 cents to $1.12. Bell Globemedia
