(TSXV: SMN) (OTCQB: SMREF) is pleased to report initial drill results from its winter 2022 exploration drill program and the discovery of new zones of bulk-tonnage style gold-silver-zinc mineralization on its Buck Property, central B.C. HighlightsDiscovered new zone of strong gold-silver-zinc mineralization: Westernmost step-out holes intersected numerous zones of strong mineralization in a previously untested area. BK22-070: 1.09 g/t gold equivalent (AuEq) over 73.5 metres including 2.20 g/t AuEq over 10.3 metres and 1.50 g/t AuEq over 17.0 metres within 0.84 g/t AuEq over 117.7 metres.BK22-071: 1.31 g/t AuEq over 18.0 metres within 0.75 g/t AuEq over 47.7 metres.1.40 g/t AuEq over 12.0 metres including 2.63 g/t AuEq over 6.0 metres.1.44 g/t AuEq over 13.0 metres including 11.37 g/t AuEq 0.8 metres.1.65 g/t AuEq over 7.6 metres including 9.57 g/t AuEq over 1.1 metres.BK22-072: 1.12 g/t AuEq over 23.0 metres including 12.03 g/t AuEq over 1.5 metres.6.53 g/t AuEq over 1.5 metres.1.36 g/t AuEq over 12.8 metres and 0.97 g/t AuEq 51.4 metres within 0.68 g/t AuEq over 145.0 metres.1.66 g/t AuEq over 10.9 metres within 0.81 g/t over 36.8 metres.Opens exploration potential significantly to the west, south and at depth of Buck Main:Cumulative grade thickness through all zones of mineralization in new holes compares favourably with other holes drilled some 500 metres to the east.A systematic follow-up drill program is currently being planned to fully evaluate the scale and potential of this new discovery.The results of the remaining six holes are pending.Notes:Intervals are downhole core lengths. True widths are unknown.Calculations are uncut and length-weighted using a 0.10 g/t gold cut-off.AuEq assumes metal prices of $1700/oz Au, $22/oz Ag and $1.60/lbs Zn using the equation: AuEq(g/t) = ((Au(g/t)*$Au/oz*0.032151)+(Ag(g/t)*$Ag/oz*0.032151)+(Zn%*$Zn/lbs*22.0462))/($Au/oz*0.032151). Assay results for individual metals for each AuEq calculation are reported in Table 1.Sharyn Alexander, Sun Summit's President, stated: \"These wes...
