(TSXV: SMN) (OTCQB: SMREF) is pleased to provide an update from its property-wide targeting initiatives at the 33,000 hectare Buck Project, central B.C., including the identification of several new highly-prospective targets which are currently being ranked and prioritized.HighlightsProperty-wide exploration outlines multiple underexplored zones with significant discovery potential: Systematic project-wide field exploration has resulted in the delineation of several exploration targets outside of the Buck Main mineralized system, two of which will be drilled this quarter (IRK and Eagle Eye; see news release from February 8, 2023).Silverthorne Target - Possible extension of the Buck Main system: The Silverthorne area is characterized by local outcropping zones of strong epithermal-style alteration and local polymetallic veining coincident with anomalous multi-element soil geochemistry, which could indicate a NW extension of the Buck Main epithermal-related mineralized system.Morice Mountain Target - Potential for epithermal-related mineralization: Anomalous gold+silver in silt samples, together with the presence of widespread propylitic alteration and local zones of strong phyllic alteration with associated quartz stockworks and sulfide-cemented breccias suggest the potential of a high-level epithermal system.Dungate South Target: Highly anomalous gold in silt samples from two separate creeks in the Dungate South area suggest potential for gold mineralization in the area. Silt samples are all located in drainages without known mineralization and represent new exploration opportunities. Ongoing drill target advancement: These new targets are being systematically advanced and prioritized for specific target delineation and drill hole vectoring.Sharyn Alexander, Sun Summit's President stated: \"Our technical team has done an excellent job in identifying an impressive pipeline of additional targets outside of the existing Buck Main zone, with the goal of advancing them to the drill-ready stage. Our 2022 property-wide exploration program successfully allowed us to advance drill targeting on two of these targets, IRK and Eag...
