(TSXV: SMN) (OTCQB: SMREF) is pleased to announce that it has commenced drilling on two new high priority targets at the 43,000 hectare Buck Project, central British Columbia.HighlightsInitial 2,000 metre program: The drill program will include approximately 2,000 metres of diamond drilling at two newly delineated and previously untested drill targets (IRK and Eagle Eye), with substantial new discovery potential, based on recent exploration results (see news release dated February 8, 2023). This is the first drill program undertaken by the Company outside of the Buck Main Zone.IRK Target: An initial 1,200 metres of drilling is planned to test anomalous silver, zinc, lead and copper in soil and rock samples, which are spatially coincident with geophysical lineaments, interpreted to potentially represent structurally-controlled epithermal-related Au-Ag-Zn vein mineralization. Drilling will systematically test the strongest coincident anomalies across the broad IRK target.Eagle Eye Target: Approximately 800 metres of diamond drilling will focus on testing a strong high-chargeability anomaly associated with a broad zone of intense phyllic alteration interpreted to represent distal alteration related to a concealed porphyry target. Drilling will focus on testing the strongest coincidental anomalies at depth. Ongoing exploration: The Company is continuing with exploration targeting throughout the project area, including Silverthorne, Morice Mountain, and Dungate South, which are being refined to establish geologic model and scale in advance of final drill hole vectoring. Additional targets at Buck Main are being developed, where a drill program conducted in fall 2022 (see news release dated January 19, 2023) demonstrated strong ongoing expansion potential.\"This is a very exciting drill campaign at the Buck Project where we'll be testing two new targets that have never before been drill tested,\" stated Sharyn Alexander, Sun Summit's President. \"The potential for new discoveries on the project is very high and our systematic approach to exploration targeting gives excellent potential to develop drill-worthy targets outside the existing Buck Main mineralized zone.
