Sterling Group Ventures: Corporate Update

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 25, 2014) - Sterling Group Ventures, Inc. (OTCQB: SGGV) (the "Company") is pleased to provide following corporate update:

Due to the sharp down turn in phosphate prices, the Company's subsidiary in China, Chenxi County Hongyu Mining Co. Ltd ("Hongyu"), ceased operations at the Company's principal phosphate property in Chenxi County, China and has kept the property in care and maintenance mode since August 2013. The Company's capital contributions to the project were held to a minimum by its contracting the mining and washing functions to Yichang Baolin Mining Engineering Co. Ltd. In the interim, the Company is in the process of renewal of the mining permit for future operations on the property.

The Company has continued the services of several key employees in China to review other mining properties and opportunities. In pursuit of one such opportunity, the Company's subsidiary (Hongyu) has obtained a registration code from Customs of People's Republic of China for the import and export business which may afford the Company the opportunity to act as an agent or distributor for the importation and exportation of fertilizer products. In the past, the Company has received unsolicited inquiries from many countries including India, Bangladesh, Spain and others. The Company, as a matter of course, continually reviews other opportunities for potential acquisition or joint venture.
