[{"type":"text","content":"Sun Summit Announces Commencement of Expansion Drilling at Its Buck Main Precious Metals Project in Central B.C.Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 8, 2023) - Sun Summit Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SMN) (OTCQB: SMREF) is pleased to announce the commencement of drilling at its Buck Main project, which marks the beginning of a multi-stage exploration program across its 52,000 hectare project area in central British Columbia. HighlightsSignificant drilling at the Buck Main zone: Approximately 3,500 metres over 15 priority diamond drill holes in previously untested areas, both laterally and at depth.Improved understanding of controls on mineralization: Recent drill intercepts at Buck Main were incorporated into an updated 3D model which has led to an improved understanding of the geological and structural controls of mineralization, which will assist in ongoing drill planning and targeting.Drilling designed to test untested areas: Planned drill holes will test recently recognized fault structures and veins that are often associated with high-grade mineralization elsewhere within the Buck Main zone.\"We have acquired and expanded a significant land package in an emerging polymetallic belt in central B.C., and our recent oversubscribed financing allows us to hit the ground running,\" stated Sharyn Alexander, Sun Summit's President. \"Updating our geological modelling and structural analysis at Buck Main has led to a refinement of the known controls on mineralization. This new understanding has helped in the planning of step-out drill holes focused on targeting new zones of potential high-grade and bulk-tonnage mineralization. In addition, our multi-stage exploration program will provide ongoing newsflow throughout the summer as we continue to explore emerging targets on our expanding project area.\"Buck Main DrillingDrilling at Buck Main is expected to commence mid-June and will initially consist of approximately 3,500 metres over 15 drill holes. The drill program was designed to test the potential high-grade core of the epithermal-related gold-silver-zinc system with a particular focus on previously unrecognized fault structures and high-density vein zones.Drilling will incorporate new insights from the recently updated 3D model which allowed for the refinement of host lithologies and structures that are thought to control ...
