Sunstone Metals Ltd. announced its best intersection yet which further strengthens the outlook for the upcoming maiden JORC Resource at its Brama-Alba porphyry discovery in southern Ecuador. The results from hole BMDD034 expand the size of the Alba discovery with a wide higher-grade intersection of 202m at 0.88g/t gold equivalent with sub-domains that exceed 1.0g/t gold equivalent. The wide interval of 202m at 0.88g/t gold equivalent is within a broader interval of 363m at 0.71g/t gold equivalent.

Drill hole BMDD034 had a shallow dip of -30 degrees and therefore this strong intersection is within 150m of surface. The intersection in BMDD034 is orthogonal to well mineralised previously reported holes BMDD020 and 021 and therefore helps define a higher grade, wider zone of mineralisation at Alba. The Brama-Alba system remains open in a number of directions, and these areas are being tested as part of the current drilling program.

Adjacent targets with the potential for new discoveries include Playas to the east, Sandia to the south, Limon to the north, and Melonal to the west and are expected to be drill tested in 2022, once the resource drilling at Brama-Alba is complete in late September.
