Sun Peak Metals Corp. is a Canadian junior mining company that is focused on exploration and discovery of gold and copper targets on the Shire Project in Ethiopia. Sun Peak’s management team has worked in the region for over 15 years with both Nevsun Resources on the Bisha Project and Sunridge Gold on the Asmara Project.
The Shire Project is comprised of six exploration licenses and covers more than 1,450 square kilometers in northern Ethiopia. The licenses are on the same geological trend as both the Bisha Mine and the Asmara Projects to the north in Eritrea and Newmont’s project also in Ethiopia, to the south. The infrastructure on the project is excellent, with roads, power, and water available throughout the Shire Project area.
A 6,000 to 7,000 m drill program is currently underway on the Shire Project. This includes the drilling on the Hamlo target as well as the other high priority targets to be drilled this year.
