(TSXV: SMN) (OTCQB: SMREF) is pleased to announce the commencement of its inaugural exploration campaign at the JD Project, north-central British Columbia. The JD Project, located in the prolific Toodoggone gold-copper mining district, spans 15,000 hectares and hosts numerous under-explored, epithermal-related gold-silver and porphyry-related copper-gold targets.Highlights:Inaugural drill program has started: Up to 3,000 metres of drilling, targeting near-surface, high-grade, epithermal-related gold-silver mineralization within the Finn to Creek Corridor has commenced.Targeting high-grade gold mineralization: The first five planned drill holes at Creek will target extensions of high-grade gold mineralization where limited drilling in 1997 and 1998 returned intercepts such as 22.0 metres* of 11.7 g/t Au including 4.0 metres of 61.2 g/t Au from drill hole CZ97-008 (February 12, 2024 news release).Comprehensive exploration program is ramping up: In addition to drilling, other complementary exploration activities include:A 20-line kilometre Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical survey has been completed across the Creek Zone and potential deeper targets to the northeast. Data review has commencedA grid-based, 2,000 sample soil geochemical survey, designed to investigate the footprints of multiple target areas is nearing completionDetailed structural and geological mapping focused on the Finn to Creek Corridor is ongoingA project-wide LiDAR survey has been completed and data review has commenced\"We are very pleased to see the drill turning at the JD Project\" stated Sharyn Alexander, Sun Summit's President. \"Hard work over the last several months has led to this first exciting milestone in our exploration program. We have designed our summer program to investigate the gold potential of several high-priority targets through drilling as well as complementary project-wide geophysical, geological and geochemical surveys. Results from all activities will set the foundation for continued exploration across multiple target areas. We look forward to keeping the market informed on our exploration progress this summer.\"Figure 1: JD Project 2024 Expl...
