[{"type":"text","content":"Sun Summit Announces Selection of Consultants to Complete Metallurgical Testing on the JD Project, Toodoggone Mining District, B.C.Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 8, 2026) - Sun Summit Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SMN) (OTCQB: SMREF) (\"Sun Summit\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has engaged Fuse Advisors Inc. (\"Fuse\") and Blue Coast Research Ltd. (\"BCR\") for an initial metallurgical test program for the Creek and Finn zones at the Company's JD Project in the Toodoggone Mining District, north-central British Columbia.An initial metallurgical testwork program has commenced, focused on gaining a stronger understanding of the processing requirements for the JD Project, which encompasses the Creek and Finn zones. Details include:The metallurgical program aims to focus on the Creek and Finn zones for head characterization, mineralogy, comminution, and gold and silver recovery testwork, facilitating preliminary flowsheet development for a potential bulk tonnage mine.The testwork program will investigate gold and silver recovery methods through a combination of cyanide leach, gravity concentration, and flotation.Four master composites (MC) will be assembled from spatially distributed continuous interval composites.Two MC composite samples will be tested from the Creek zone: lower-grade altered pyrite rich material and higher-grade quartz carbonate veins and breccia zones.Two MC composite samples will be tested from the Finn zone: higher-grade, silicified and locally strongly veined/brecciated intervals; and lower-grade, variably altered footwall tuffs.Interval composites will represent a \"mining unit\" of 5 meters by assembling sequential samples.A total of 20 interval composites will be tested from select coarse core rejects from the 2025 drill program, totalling approximately 302 kg of material.Planned interval composite grade ranges for metallurgical testwork(*), with selections derived from previously disclosed drill assay results, include:Creek Zone Quartz Carbonate Vein: 4 - 10 g/t AuCreek Zone Altered Pyrite Rich: 0.5 - 1 g/t AuFinn Zone High Grade: 3 - 6 g/t AuFinn Zone Low Grade: 0.5 - 1 g/t Au(*) Ranges are solely for composite selection and are derived from previously disclosed assay results. They do not represent mineral resource or exploration target disclosure.\"We are very excited t...
