Sun Summit Minerals Corp. announced that drill crews have been remobilized to site after an evacuation order south of the town of Houston due to a wildfire was lifted. As previously announced, Sun Summit took proactive measures to temporary suspend drilling and field exploration in the area and all personnel were demobilized from site.

Three diamond drill holes and a portion of a fourth were completed at Buck Main before the evacuation order was issued. In addition, extensive field exploration was conducted in the area of Mount Morice and CR, including the collection of rock, silt and soil samples. Core samples from drill holes completed in advance of the evacuation notice and all collected surface samples are currently being processed and results are expected from the lab shortly.

No damage or loss to infrastructure has been reported and the Company does not anticipate any delays to the resumption of work and ongoing exploration program. Sun Summit is engaging with First Nations on whose territory the Buck Project is located and is discussing their interests and identifying contract and work opportunities, as well as opportunities to support community initiatives. The Company looks forward to continuing to work with local and regional First Nations as the project continues.

The Buck Project is situated in a historic mining district near Houston, B.C., with excellent nearby infrastructure that allows for year-round, road-accessible exploration. The project is host to the Buck Main intermediate-sulfidation epithermal-related gold-silver-zinc system. Most of the mineralization drilled to date at Buck Main consists of long, continuous zones of disseminated and breccia-hosted, bulk tonnage-style gold-silver-zinc. Vein-hosted, high-grade mineralization has also been intersected near the center of Buck Main.

Exploration at the Buck Project is focused on investigating the lateral and vertical extent of gold-silver- zinc mineralization at the Buck Main system, and to define additional drill targets across the entire land package through systematic exploration programs.
