Sunstone Metals reports assay results from Bramaderos Gold-Copper Project

Sunstone Metals (ASX:STM) announced strong assay results from its Bramaderos Gold-Copper Project in southern Ecuador.

The results from the Melonal porphyry target enhance the project's potential and confidence in its porphyry exploration target.

The latest channel sampling includes impressive mineralisation, with QM-01 yielding 136.5m at 0.31g/t gold and 0.12% copper (0.51g/t gold-equivalent) and QM-02 showing 179m at 0.37g/t gold and 0.11% copper (0.54g/t gold-equivalent), including a 75m section.

Sunstone's Managing Director Patrick Duffy commented on the findings, "The Melonal porphyry is an exciting emerging target at the Bramaderos Project that has seen minimal historical exploration."

He added, "These low-cost and very valuable trenching results from Melonal are located adjacent to the 2.7Moz AuEq Brama-Alba Resource, highlighting the scale of the opportunity at Bramaderos. The additional geological information greatly enhances our confidence for future drilling programs at Melonal."

Geological mapping at Melonal has also identified new porphyry bodies south-east of Melonal, currently undergoing trenching and additional exploration.

This suggests significant upside potential beyond the current exploration target.

Sunstone Metals continues to explore partnership opportunities to further accelerate exploration and resource growth at Bramaderos and other projects, aiming to unlock their full value.
