(TSXV: SMN) (OTCQB: SMREF) is pleased to announce the commencement of its summer 2022 exploration program across its Buck Property, central B.C. HighlightsProperty-wide geophysical survey is set to commence: Crew and equipment have been mobilised to the property to conduct a heli-borne Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM) survey. High-resolution geophysical data to assist with target generation: Results will be used to refine and prioritise follow-up geological and geochemical surveys and possible drilling later this year.Drill planning in progress: All new data from the recently competed Buck Main drill program has been interpreted and included into the refined geological model. Targets within and peripheral to the Buck Main system are currently being ranked and prioritised. Sharyn Alexander, Sun Summit's President, stated: \"The start of this year's property-wide exploration program is a very exciting time for us. Based on encouraging results from last year's extensive drilling and field work, we decided it was paramount to focus on investigating the broader mineral potential and prospectivity of the entire property. As such, the objective of this extensive survey is to obtain important geophysical data from across the property to identify zones where geochemical, geological, and geophysical anomalies are coincidental. This additional data is anticipated to help focus follow-up work and generate new drill targets outside of the Buck Main zone. \"The Buck Property is surrounded by current and past-producing mines as well as numerous advanced-staged development projects1. Although the Buck Main target area is the current focus, we strongly believe in the project's potential to host multiple deposit-types. Our immediate goal therefore is to define and prioritise additional prospective drill targets to complement our ongoing systematic drill programs at Buck Main.\"Geophysical SurveySun Summit has contracted Geotech Ltd. to carry out a helicopter-borne VTEM geophysical survey across the Buck property. The over 1,800-line kilometre survey will be conducted on east-west oriented lines spaced 200 me...
