COPPER-GOLD: Sun Metals expands 421 zone at Stardust

BRITISH COLUMBIA – Recent drilling at Sun Metals’ Stardust project in north-central B.C. confirms the continuity and strength of mineralization at the project’s 421 zone, the company says. The junior reported intervals of up to 58 metres grading 2.49% copper, 2.61 g/t gold and 44.3 g/t silver. That intercept was part of a 107-metre interval (starting at 546 metres depth) of 1.64% copper, 1.77 g/t gold, 28.6 g/t silver, and 0.03% zinc in hole 430D. Hole 428D returned 142.35 metres (from 493.5 metres downhole) of 1.22% copper, 1.28 g/t gold, 21.8 g/t silver and 0.41% zinc. All three stepout holes reported were drilled downdip and to the south of discovery hole 421, which returned 100 metres of 2.51% copper, 3.03 g/t gold and 52.5 g/t silver late last year.

More than 5,220 metres in 11 holes have so far been completed. The Canyon Creek copper-gold skarn zone at Stardust has indicated resources of 985,000 tonnes grading 1.34% copper, 0.62% zinc, 1.59 g/t gold and 36.8 g/t silver, plus inferred resources of 2 million tonnes grading 1.24% copper, 0.14% zinc, 1.72 g/t gold and 30.5 g/t silver. The 421 zone lies outside of the established resource. See www.SunMetals.ca for more information.
