Copper-Gold Project

Sumatra's focus is not only on Sumatra's existing epithermal gold/silver potential but the Company is also but also on the potential to find porphyry systems (analogous to the Philippines) that historical exploration had overlooked due to the focus on gold-silver.

Sontang comprises the virgin discovery of a poly-metallic manto. Hydrothermal alteration and mineralisation is dispersed over an area extending approximately 1.5km along strike. Sontang is held within an Exploration IUP, which is valid for six years, and comprises one of the first exploration licences to be granted under the New Minerals Law.

Elevated values of gold, silver and base metals (zinc, lead and copper) were frequently encountered during rock chip sampling with maximum values of 24.5 g/t gold, 1,000 g/t silver, 12.2% lead and 30.8% zinc. Several styles of mineralisation and alteration have been identified with a zonation suggestive of a temperature gradient increasing northwestwards where an intrusive source is interpreted.

The manto is hosted by a calcareous sequence which occurs throughout the mineralized areas. Most significant mineralisation identified so far comprises massive sulphides interpreted to represent "manto style" mineralisation.

Geological mapping indicates several receptive stratigraphic horizons to be mineralized with true thickness of up to 5 metres of massive sulphides. Fieldwork indicates the manto to be best-developed at the south-eastern end, and systematic detailed work has commenced in this East Sontang area. The weighted-average for metal content received from 54.8 meters of sawn rock-channel samples is 2.87 g/t gold, 118 g/t silver, 0.57 % lead and 5.66 % zinc.
