(TSXV: SMN) (OTCQB: SMREF) is pleased to provide an update on the Company's exploration drill program at the 33,000 hectare Buck Project, central British Columbia. Drilling conducted in the latest drill program has successfully extended the footprint of near-surface sulfide-related mineralization at the Buck Main zone.HighlightsOver 3,000 metres of diamond drilling in eight holes have so far been completed at Buck Main: All holes successfully intersected multiple zones of disseminated, breccia- and/or vein-hosted sulfide mineralization. Drill holes were predominately step-outs: Holes were designed to investigate the lateral extent of near-surface gold-silver-zinc mineralization (see news release September 8, 2022).System remains open: Holes covering an east-west strike length of over 1,000 metres have now intersected broad zones of sulfide mineralization. Six new holes were drilled on the western side of Buck Main targeting known zones of disseminated and vein-hosted mineralization (e.g., BK22-070; 1.09 g/t gold equivalent (AuEQ1,2) over 73.5 metres3; see news release May 3, 2022).Two new holes were drilled on the eastern side of Buck Main targeting eastward extensions of breccia-hosted and bulk-tonnage style disseminated mineralization (e.g., BK22-075; 1.08 g/t AuEQ1,2 over 63.5 metres3; see news release June 1, 2022).Assay and geochemical analyses underway: Core samples from all recently completed holes have been sent to the lab for assay and geochemical analyses and will be reported once received and reviewed. Assay results will provide important information for follow up drill planning and targeting.Ongoing geophysical survey at priority target areas: An Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical survey is ongoing at the IRK and Eagle Eye targets to investigate potential zones of strong sulfide-related mineralization. Drill target generation across the project: The results of the IP survey, as well as the results from geochemical sampling, will be used to delineate high-priority drill targets elsewhere on the property.Notes:1. Calculations were uncut and length-weighted using a 0.10 g/t gold cut-off.2. AuEq assumed metal prices of $1700/oz Au, $22/oz Ag and $1.6...
