Sunstone sharpens Bramaderos disclosure as Porotillo trenching bolsters growth ambitions

Sunstone Metals Limited ( (AU:STM) ) has shared an announcement.

Sunstone Metals has amended a recent announcement on its Bramaderos Project in southern Ecuador to include required technical disclosure for historical drilling at the Porotillo prospect, while confirming that these legacy drill data are not yet part of any mineral resource estimate. The company is currently running a diamond drilling program over the Porotillo and Copete systems, supported by new trenching data that helps refine targets for potential future resource additions.

Recent trenching at the Porotillo porphyry has returned extensive high-grade gold-copper mineralisation at surface, reinforcing the potential to expand the existing 3.6Moz gold-equivalent resource across the broader Bramaderos district. Alongside an exploration target of up to 3.5Moz gold equivalent for the Copete-Porotillo complex, Sunstone is advancing a scoping study on the Brama-Alba-Melonal areas and preparing to deploy multiple drill rigs, signalling an aggressive growth phase that could materially enhance the project’s scale and strategic appeal.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:STM) stock is a Hold with a A$0.48 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Sunstone Metals Limited stock, see the AU:STM Stock Forecast page.
