Sun Summit Minerals Corp. has commenced its multi-stage exploration program being conducted across its 52,000 hectare Buck Project, central British Columbia. The program will focus on exploration at several high-priority precious metals targets, including prospective known targets within the newly obtained CR property recently acquired from Teck Resources.

Surface exploration will include detailed mapping, sampling and prospecting in the area to the west of Buck Main, specifically at the Mount Morice target and CR property, and will run concurrently with the drilling at Buck Main. Work at Mount Morice is following up on highly anomalous gold and silver creek silt samples and will include mapping and prospecting and infill silt sampling. Geological mapping in 2022 revealed a broad zone of strong alteration with a stockwork of quartz veins and disseminated pyrite.

Stream sediment samples from eastern drainages on Mount Morice, downslope from the mapped alteration and vein zones, display highly anomalous gold and silver. Samples returned results well above background based on regional stream sediment sampling programs, including 0.26 ppm Au and 0.6 ppm Ag (sample F193428), and 0.25 ppm Au and 0.4 ppm Ag. Field work will also be conducted on the adjoining CR property to the west, and will include reconnaissance mapping, prospecting and targeted soil and stream sediment sampling.

A large chargeability anomaly, located in the northern section of CR, has seen limited exploration. The anomaly is associated with strong zinc in soils, as well as rock samples that have returned values of 0.4 g/t Au and 31.7 g/t Ag. The CR property has seen several exploration campaigns including soil, rock, and silt sampling, airborne and ground geophysics, as well as diamond drilling.

The most significant drill intercepts to date are reported from the South Zone, and include 68 metres at 0.50% Cu, 0.015% Mo in CR05-03; and 168 metres at 0.37% Cu, 0.017% Mo in CR07-14.
