[{"type":"text","content":"Sun Summit Announces 2024 Exploration Plans Including Inaugural Drill Campaign at the JD Project in B.C.Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 19, 2024) - Sun Summit Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SMN) (OTCQB: SMREF) is pleased to announce its 2024 exploration plans for the road accessible JD Project, which will include diamond drilling at multiple high-priority zones, a project-wide LiDAR survey, an Induced Polarization (\"IP\") geophysical survey, structural mapping, infill soil geochemical sampling and prospecting.2024 Exploration Program Highlights:Sun Summit is planning to drill up to 4,000 metres in a phased work program, commencing with up to 2,000 metres of drilling at the near-surface, epithermal-related gold-silver Creek and Finn zones.A 20-line kilometre IP survey, designed to infill historical IP surveys and to cover new targets, will be completed. This survey will aid in the interpretation of both previous ground and airborne-defined anomalies and build on depth imaging for interpreted gold-hosted structural features.A soil geochemical survey with up to 2,000 soil samples on select targets to both infill historical soil data and further define gold targets lacking soil geochemical data.Detailed structural mapping in the Creek to Finn Corridor to identify significant structural features that will greatly aid in drill orientation, particularly at the Creek Zone where the interpreted orientation of gold-bearing vein-hosted structures is unknown.Property-wide LiDAR data and aerial photography with expected sub-metre accuracy and orthorectified color aerial photography. Products such as a bare earth model, digital elevation model (DEM) and digital surface model (DSM) will greatly aid in planning and definition of interpreted geological features, and will accurately locate historical exploration roads, trails, drill pads and trenches.The exploration program is expected to commence in late-June with drilling expected to commence mid-July. Sharyn Alexander, Sun Summit's President, commented: \"The team at Sun Summit is excited to finalize the 2024 exploration plans for the JD Project, after months of in-depth historical data compilation, intensive modeling, and discussion with the exploration team. We are very proud to announce our first drill program at JD consisting of high-priority targets near existing zones and new...
