Sun Summit Minerals Corp. announced that exploration drilling is set to recommence at its 100% controlled Buck Property, central British Columbia. The exploration program will be designed to expand on the Buck Main epithermal gold discovery which remains open in all directions and at depth.

Crews are mobilizing: One drill rig is currently on site and the crew has commenced mobilization. Expanded program will test new targets: The first drillholes will build on the significant results from previous programs focused on testing new targets within Buck Main and the limits of the mineralized hydrothermal footprint. Property-wide geophysical survey: Plans are underway to commence a property-wide VTEM geophysical survey, which will help define additional targets on the property, some of which could be coincidental with recently discovered geochemical anomalies.

The upcoming drilling is designed to follow-up the 10,327 metre drill program, which targeted high-grade and bulk tonnage-style gold mineralization at Buck Main . From that program, a total of eight holes have been released including significant intercepts of high-grade gold mineralization gold over 3.0 metres including 31.3 g/t gold over 1.0 metres; BK21-035 and continuous bulk tonnage-style gold mineralization. Additional assay results will be released shortly as they are received and analyzed.

After pausing the drill program at the end of 2021 to receive assays, the Company is now ramping-up activities to investigate previously untested targets, as well as test an emerging broad zone of breccia- hosted sulfide mineralization identified in the last drill program. The drill program could increase in scope to be substantially larger than the program just completed. The Buck Main mineralized footprint is approximately 900 by 950 metres and remains open in all directions and at depth.

A total of 66 diamond drill holes totalling 24,000 metres have been completed at Buck since the project was optioned in July 2019. Significant intercepts from previous drill programs include: High-grade vein-hosted gold mineralization 31.6 g/t gold over 4.0 metres including 246 g/t gold over 0.5 metres; BK21-020 5.86 g/t gold over 17.0 metres including 23.05 g/t gold over 3.0 metres; BK20-012 Broad zones of near-surface bulk tonnage-style gold mineralization 0.78 g/t gold over 186 metres including 1.07 g/t gold over 109 metres; BK21-017 0.71 g/t gold over 187.0 metres including 1.02 g/t gold over 87.1 metres; BK21-033. The Company has begun planning a 2,000 line kilometre Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic survey.

The results of the geophysical survey will help outline and prioritize additional exploration targets, hopefully being coincidental with recently discovered geochemical anomalies within the 33,000 hectare tenure package. Surface sample results from the extensive field program conducted across the Buck Property last year will be released shortly, after the Sun Summit technical team completes its analysis and evaluation.
