1. Prioritise value realisation The porphyry projects at Bramaderos and El Palmar have the potential to evolve into multi-decade goldcopper mining centres. At Bramaderos, a Scoping Study has been completed which indicated project viability and large growth potential. Sunstone plans to further grow the Bramaderos resource while continuing to advance the project studies towards development. At El Palmar, Sunstone is testing the deep gold-copper targets, with drilling expected to recommence in September 2026. Sunstone has an ongoing strategic process to determine a preferred long-term funding model to unlock the substantial value of its two world-class projects. The Company also continues to monitor and evaluate potential opportunities to continue to grow our business in Ecuador, where clear shareholder value can be demonstrated. 2. Track Record The team at Sunstone has been involved in significant discoveries of porphyry and epithermal copper-gold mineralisation at Tujuh Bukit in Indonesia and Cascabel in Ecuador, and the successful development of the King of the Hills Gold Mine in Western Australia and Koniambo Nickel Mine and Smelter in New Caledonia. The Company has the necessary skill sets to execute Tier 1 projects and is well-placed to repeat that success at Bramaderos and El Palmar. 3. Excellent infrastructure All projects are supported by established infrastructure, being close to water, power, road infrastructure and ports. 4. Community support The Board and Management Team take their responsibilities to the host communities seriously and have endeavoured to implement the highest ESG standards throughout our business. Sunstone released its inaugural Sustainability Report in 2023, which details the level of support and engagement with local communities and project stakeholders.
