Highlights:Follow-up drilling begins at Creek Zone: A second drill rig has commenced drilling at the Creek Zone with holes designed to follow-up hole CZ-25-007 (78.0 meters of 3.72 g/t gold at 30 meters down hole, see press release dated September 8, 2025). Gold mineralization intersected in CZ25-007 remains open along trend and drilling will test the strike- and dip-extent to the northwest.Assays Pending: Assays from ten additional drill holes (totalling 3,340 meters) drilled at the Creek zone are pending.Expansion of exploration program to 5,500+ meters: Over 5,500 meters of drilling is now planned at the JD Project, roughly 10% more than originally contemplated.Drilling begins at Finn Zone: Drilling has also commenced at the Finn Zone, with the first rig, where six holes are designed to test the footprint near-surface gold-silver mineralization defined in historic drilling (see press release dated August 20, 2025). Porphyry Cu-Au target tested: Over 900 meters of reconnaissance drilling across two holes at the Belle South Cu-Au porphyry target have now been completed. Samples have been sent to the lab for analysis. Results will inform the geological understanding of one of the high-priority porphyry targets identified this year within the project-scale, 12 km long JD Porphyry trend (see press release dated September 18, 2025).\"We are delighted to mobilize a second drill rig to the Creek Zone at the JD Property prior to the end of the drill season in order to follow up on the success from Hole CR-25-007,\" said Niel Marotta, CEO of Sun Summit Minerals. \"The exceptional grades and strong continuity in this hole highlighted what we believe may be a new parallel zone, making it a top priority to test further while the drills are turning.
