Sun Summit Minerals Corp. announced initial results from its summer 2023 exploration drill program at the Buck Main target as part of a multi-stage exploration program across its 52,000 hectare Buck project in central British Columbia. Highlights: Results from the first two drill holes indicate that significant gold, silver, and zinc mineralization extend laterally and at depth, and is open to the north where previous drilling is sparse.

Hole BK23-086: 148.5 metres of 0.46 g/t gold equivalent (AuEq) (0.33 g/t Au, 4.2 g/t Ag, 0.31% Zn); 40.0 metres of 0.68 g/t AuEq (0.57 g/t Au, 5.9 g/t Ag,0.3% Zn), including 9.0 metres of 1.43 g/t AuEq ("1.27 g/t Au, 8.9 g/tAg, 0.58% Zn), 10.0 metres of 0.83 g/t AuEq.0 metres of 0.6 g/t Au, 2.5 g/t Ag, 0.6% Zn) The broad gold, silver and zinc intervals reported in these holes supports the potential for depth extension of bulk tonnage-style disseminated mineralization being delineated at Buck Main. Drilling at Buck Main is ongoing, and assay results from the remaining holes are pending with results expected as they are received and analyzed. Results from the extensive surface exploration program in the area of Mt Morice and CR are being analyzed and interpreted and will be released shortly.

The first two holes of ongoing drill program at Buck Main indicate significant mineralization extends laterally and at depth. The consistent broad mineralized intercepts in this area of Buck Main clearly demonstrate the large scale gold, silver, and zinc potential of this target. These results reinforce belief in the value remaining to be unlocked through ongoing exploration efforts.

The company look forward to receiving additional results from this step-out drill program. In addition, team is interpreting the results of field exploration in the Mt Morice and CR area to the west, which show tremendous potential in an underexplored area". The ongoing drill program consists of approximately 3,500 metres over 15 drill holes, with holes designed to test for potential high-grade zones of epithermal-related gold-silver-zinc system focused on previously modeled faults and high-density vein zones as well as the limits of mineralization to the north and west.

Holes BK23-086 and 087 were designed as infill and exploration holes to confirm the results of 1960's drilling in addition to testing the depth extent of disseminated mineralization of the Buck Main east area to the north.
