El Palmar Mineral Resource estimate Based on drilling to date at the T1 target at El Palmar, the Company released the inaugural Mineral Resource estimate (MRE) for the T1 target at El Palmar on 22 October 2024 of 64Mt at 0.60g/t AuEq (0.41g/t gold, 0.13% copper and 0.7g/t silver) for 1.2Mozs AuEq11. The MRE is based on 21 drill holes for 17,699m of drilling (18 drilled by Sunstone in the period August 2021 to July 2022 and 3 drilled by Codelco in 2012) and 1,498 linear metres of trenching in 5 trenches. T1, which is at surface, is one of five target gold-copper porphyry deposits at El Palmar, and has the potential to be advanced as a large open pit opportunity before undertaking exploration and development of the deeper porphyry opportunities. This MRE establishes a strong platform on which to build a world-scale gold and copper resource inventory at El Palmar.
