Sunshine Metals (ASX:SHN) said nine diamond holes for a total of 599.1 meters, out of a planned 14-hole diamond drill program, were completed at the Francis Creek prospect at the Sybil project in Queensland, and up to three epithermal vein systems were intersected in drilling, with multiple veins intersected in most holes, according to a Tuesday Australian bourse filing.

The first results are expected in early October, its Managing Director, Damien Keys, said.
