Sunstone Metals Limited announced more very strong gold and copper results from additional trenching recently completed at the Bramaderos Main gold-copper porphyry target within the Bramaderos Project in Ecuador. Based on the strength of early trenching results, the trenching programme was expanded, and has now been successful in extending the strike extent of mineralisation at the Bramaderos Main target to over 300m, and this remains open. The trenching phase remains ongoing with additional results from trench BM02, new results from trench BM07, and sampling of an historical adit which intersected 40m at 0.38 g/t Au, 0.06% Cu. Trench BM02 was extended based on strong assays from the phase 1 program and has now delivered 140.6m at 0.57g/t gold and 0.15% copper, including 68.2m at 0.80g/t gold and 0.18% copper ­ adding 65m to the lateral extent of mineralisation previously reported. Trench BM07 was positioned over the top of the historical diamond drill hole CURI-13, and is parallel and 200m away from, trench BM02 sited over the top of hole CURI-03. A series of cross sections can now be constructed to start to develop a better understanding of the three-dimensional geometry of mineralisation at Bramaderos Main. CURI-13 was drilled in 2001 by Ecuanor S.A. and intersected 404.30m at 0.41 g/t gold, 0.10% copper (from 3.66m depth), including 187m at 0.50 g/t Au, 0.10% Cu (from 131m depth). This drill hole further reinforces the potential for significant vertical extent to the mineralised zones intersected by trenching at surface, adds significant strike extent, and demonstrates excellent lateral continuity in grade. All documentation required for the granting of the drill permit has now been provided to the Department of Environment. In anticipation of receipt of this drill permit in the near term, the Company has commenced preparation of drill access and establishment of drill pads.
