Highlights:Extensive drill program completed: 21 drill holes were completed for a total of 6,864 meters. Drilling in 2025 represented a 37% increase in the overall meterage from the original planned 5,000 meters. Highlights include:Fifteen holes for 5,103 meters were drilled at the epithermal Au-Ag Creek Zone. Results from the first hole, CZ-25-007, demonstrated strong potential for near surface high-grade and bulk-tonnage style gold mineralization (78.0 meters of 3.72 g/t gold from 30.0 meters downhole, see news release September 8, 2025 entitled \"Sun Summit Drills 78.0 Meters of 3.72 g/t Gold Including 19.1 Meters of 7.50 g/t Gold at the JD Project, Toodoggone District, B.C.\"). Logging and sampling of the drill core from the three final CZ-25-007 follow-up holes remains ongoing.Four holes for 950 meters were drilled at the epithermal Au-Ag  near-surface, shallow Finn Zone. Holes were designed to follow-up historic drill results and explore at depth (e.g., 35.7 meters of 7.26 g/t gold with 94 g/t silver, JD95-0472).Two holes for 811 meters were drilled at the Belle South Cu-Au porphyry target located at the southern end of ~12 km long JD Porphyry Trend, which aligns with the significant McClair Creek alteration zone.Results are pending for the remaining 20 drill holes including 14 holes from the Creek Zone, four holes from the Finn Zone and two holes from the Belle South porphyry target. The 2025 exploration program was completed on target date and within budget even while adding a second drill later in the season.Comprehensive surface sampling and geological mapping: The field program included the collection of over 1,500 soil samples and over 120 rock samples across numerous target areas. Detailed geological mapping along McClair Creek and across the greater JD Project was completed with the aim of defining the structural and stratigraphic setting of the epithermal gold-silver...
