Sun Peak Metals Corp. has announced significant advancements in its exploration initiatives across various projects in Saudi Arabia. The company is focusing on its 100% owned portfolio within the Arabian-Nubian Shield, a region known for its geological richness.
During the first half of 2026, Sun Peak successfully completed its maiden diamond drilling programs at two key sites: Safra Main and Halahila Main. Across both targets, a total of 23 drill holes measuring 3,764 metres were completed. The drilling encountered sulphide mineralization in formations resembling volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits, which are a focal point of Sun Peak’s exploration strategy.
The company has submitted 961 drill core samples for analysis, with the first batch of assay results expected by late August 2026. These results are anticipated to play a crucial role in shaping the future direction of Sun Peak’s exploration efforts.
In addition to drilling, Sun Peak has undertaken substantial geophysical studies. This includes approximately 1,345 line-kilometres of fixed-wing airborne electromagnetic (FTEM) surveying at the Al Miyah Project. Gravity surveys have also been conducted at other locations, contributing to a deeper understanding of the geological landscape.
Exploration efforts extend to various other targets, including the Washaq target at the newly acquired Jabal Al Asad Project. Detailed geological and geochemical surveys have been completed, and follow-up electromagnetic surveys are currently in progress. The Washaq target has emerged as a high-priority area, showing promise for further exploration.
Sun Peak remains vigilant regarding regional geopolitical and security developments. The company has established protocols to ensure the safety of its personnel and operations, with no reported disruptions to its activities in Saudi Arabia thus far.
Sun Peak Metals Corp. has advanced multiple projects through systematic exploration activities, including geological mapping, geochemistry, geophysics, and diamond drilling. They reported the completion of maiden drilling programs at their Safra Main and Halahila Main targets, which included a total of 23 drill holes totalling 3,764 metres. Assay results from these drilling efforts are expected in late August 2026.
Sun Peak completed drilling at Safra Main and Halahila Main, with both projects intersecting sulphide mineralization in typical VMS-style rock packages. The Safra Main drilling consisted of 10 holes totalling 1,242.35 metres, while Halahila Main involved 13 holes totalling 2,521.65 metres. The initial assays from these projects are awaited.
Sun Peak Metals holds a portfolio of 100% ownership across 13 exploration licences totalling 1,072 km² within the Arabian-Nubian Shield in Saudi Arabia. They have also applied for two additional exploration licences, which cover approximately 200 km².
The company is focusing on volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits and orogenic gold systems within the Arabian-Nubian Shield, which contains numerous mineralisation styles relevant to their exploration strategy.
Sun Peak is employing various technical methods including geological mapping, rock and soil geochemistry, airborne electromagnetic (FTEM) surveying, and gravity surveying. They have completed significant survey work to identify high-priority drilling targets.
The company is closely monitoring geopolitical and security developments in the Middle East, as any changes may impact its operations. Sun Peak is implementing measures to ensure the safety of its personnel and operations, although to date, there have been no reported impacts on their activities.
Assay results from the maiden drilling programs at both Safra Main and Halahila Main are expected to be released in late August 2026, according to the company's announcements.
