MT Newswires Live08:45

Sunstone Metals (ASX:STM) identified wide zones of gold-copper mineralization during a recent drilling at its Bramaderos Gold-Copper Project in southern Ecuador, according to a Thursday Australian bourse filing.

The results were of up to 92 meters at 0.66 grams per tonne (g/t) gold equivalent (AuEq), including 0.42 g/t gold and 0.14% copper, with a higher-grade interval of 20 meters at 0.91 g/t AuEq from 0.66 g/t gold and 0.15% copper.

The company said assays from holes at Porotillo reinforce the extensive mineralization encountered in five trenches and expand the area being defined by drilling, with 16 of a 28-hole program now completed and additional assays pending.

The drill program aims to upgrade to resources a significant portion of the Copete-Porotillo exploration target of 135 to 180 million tonnes at 0.40 to 0.60 g/t AuEq for 1.7 to 3.5 million ounces AuEq, the filing added.
