Sunstone expands Porotillo mineralisation as Bramaderos drilling ramps up

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

The latest update is out from Sunstone Metals Limited ( (AU:STM) ).

Sunstone Metals has reported a 462m trench intersection grading 0.55 g/t gold-equivalent at the Porotillo discovery within its Bramaderos gold-copper project in southern Ecuador, significantly expanding the known footprint of surface mineralisation. The trench, which includes long higher-grade intervals and remains open in all directions, reinforces the potential to materially grow the current 3.6Moz gold-equivalent resource and supports the company’s exploration target of 1.7 to 3.5Moz gold-equivalent at the Copete-Porotillo complex.

Drilling at Copete has already completed the first two holes, and a second rig is being mobilised to start drilling at Porotillo as Sunstone seeks to convert a substantial portion of the exploration target into a formal resource. Management expects the ongoing drilling campaign and an advancing scoping study to underpin strong news flow and highlight the potential economic strength of the expanding cluster of gold-copper porphyry systems at Bramaderos, with implications for the project’s scale and future development options.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:STM) stock is a Sell with a A$0.38 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Sunstone Metals Limited stock, see the AU:STM Stock Forecast page.
