The ASX indicated that the previous forward-looking statements lacked a reasonable basis, primarily relying on Inferred resources.

Sunstone Metals Limited ( (AU:STM) ) has provided an update.

Sunstone Metals has retracted all production targets and forecast financial information previously released for its Bramaderos gold-copper project, after the ASX advised the company it lacked a reasonable basis for forward-looking statements that relied heavily on Inferred resources. Investors have been cautioned not to use the earlier scoping study disclosures as a basis for investment decisions, though the underlying technical assumptions about the deposit remain unchanged.

The company emphasised the continuity and predictability of the Bramaderos porphyry ore bodies, arguing there is strong potential to convert Inferred resources to Indicated through further work. Sunstone plans optioneering studies in 2026–27 and ongoing infill drilling, with an updated mineral resource estimate for Bramaderos anticipated later in 2026, signalling a continued push to de-risk and advance the project despite the regulatory setback.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:STM) stock is a Buy with a A$2.10 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Sunstone Metals Limited stock, see the AU:STM Stock Forecast page.
