(TSXV: SMN) (OTCQB: SMREF) is pleased to announce that, based on compiled historical drill hole data, it has identified additional high priority gold targets at the Creek zone, a significant mineralized zone on the recently optioned JD Project in the Toodoggone gold-copper mining district in north-central British Columbia. Highlights:Multiple priority drill targets defined through extensive data review: An ongoing comprehensive review and compilation of property-wide historical exploration data has resulted in the definition of multiple new target areas, including identification of extensions to previously drilled near-surface high-grade gold mineralization within the Creek zone.High-grade gold mineralization in historical drill holes at Creek zone: Results from limited historical drilling highlight the high-grade gold potential of structurally controlled, sulfide-rich mineralization at the Creek zone. Select drill highlights* include: 22.0 m of 11.7 g/t Au including 4.0 m of 61.2 g/t Au (CZ97-0081)21.5 m of 3.1 g/t Au including 3.0 m of 18.7 g/t Au (CZ98-0122)Intermittent sampling in historic drill holes suggests further drilling is clearly warranted: Historic core sampling was locally selective and left significant gaps in assay data, which does not allow for the adequate evaluation of gold mineralization continuity or target scale potential. Drill holes that were continuously sampled, however, demonstrate the presence of previously unrecognized bulk-tonnage style gold mineralization at the JD project.Follow-up drill testing and field programs planned for 2024: The structural controls on high-grade mineralization at the Creek zone remains unknown. Planned drilling, as well as surface geochemical and geophysical surveys, will aim to investigate the orientation and extent of the high-grade mineralization, evaluate the bulk-tonnage potential, as well as target high-grade veins within the Creek zone. * Note drill intervals are downhole core lengths. True widths are unknown.\"The primary goal of our data compilation effort is to generate walk-up, high-potential drill targets,\" stated Sharyn Alexander, Sun Summ...
