Sun Summit Minerals Corp. announced that it has identified high priority gold and silver drill targets at the Finn zone, central to the recently optioned JD Project in the Toodoggone gold-copper mining district in north-central British Columbia. Highlights: Significant data compilation has defined priority targets: An ongoing comprehensive review and compilation of property-wide historical data has resulted in the definition of multiple new target areas, including mineralization expansion potential within the Finn Zone.

High-grade gold and silver mineralization in historical drill holes at Finn: Results from historical drilling highlight the high-grade gold-silver potential of near-surface epithermal-related mineralization at the Finn zone. Select drill highlights include: 35.7 m of 7.26 g/t Au including 1 m of 215.4 g/t Au (JD95-0471) 22.0 m of 12.5 g/t Au including 0.8 m of 171.5 g/t Au (JD95-0642) 25.9 m of 6.42 g/t Au including 6.1 m of 12.8 g/t Au (JD94-0151) 22.0 m of 6.32 g/t Au including 12.6 m of 10.8 g/t Au ("JD12-0032") 27.8 m of 6.64 g/t Au including 11.0 m of 15.1 g/t Au (JD 95-0972). Multiple target areas defined for follow-up drill testing: The footprint of mineralization at the Finn zone remains open in most directions, and historical data review identified numerous priority areas for initial drill testing to better define the extent of mineralization along-strike, down-dip and at depth.

In addition, many historical drill holes were selectively sampled and the current data review suggests that many of these unsampled areas were in prospective geology. Note drill intervals are downhole core lengths. The JD Project comprises over 15,000 hectares of contiguous mineral claims in the prolific Toodoggone gold-Copper mining district in north- central British Columbia.

The project is host to high-grade epithermal-related gold-silver systems and porphyry-related copper-gold systems. The Company is currently compiling, digitizing, and interpreting all historical exploration data collected since the early 1970s and reported in over 70 public assessment reports. This data compilation will represent a critical component to ongoing target selection and prioritization. Exploration data includes approximately 16,000 soil samples, 2,000 rock samples, 130 trenches, over 330 drill holes, and numerous ground- and airborne-based geophysical datasets.

Finn Zone. Peripheral to the high grade core, epithermal-related alteration grades into sericite+chlorite+pyrite and more distal epidote+chlorite+/-hematite assemblages. Most of the drilling from the 1990s at the Finn zone targeted the higher-grade core covering a footprint of approximately 300 metres by 100 metres within which drill holes were mostly collared on 25 metre centres.

Although drilling, logging and surveying methods were completed to industry standards, core sampling was locally selective and left significant gaps in sampling. Some drill holes ended in Au-Ag mineralization and were not followed up with additional drilling. The Company's diverse portfolio includes the Buck Project in central B.C, and the JD Project in the Toodogone region of north-central B.C.
