[{"type":"text","content":"Sun Summit Drills Broad Zones of Strong Gold-Silver-Zinc Mineralization at the Buck Project, Central BC; Intersects 186 Metres of 0.66 g/t Gold EquivalentVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 6, 2023) - Sun Summit Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SMN) (OTCQB: SMREF) announces initial results from its summer 2023 exploration drill program at the Buck Main target as part of a multi-stage exploration program across its 52,000 hectare Buck project in central British Columbia. Highlights:Results from the first two drill holes indicate that significant gold, silver, and zinc mineralization extend laterally and at depth, and is open to the north where previous drilling is sparse. Hole BK23-086:148.5 metres of 0.46 g/t gold equivalent (AuEq) (0.33 g/t Au, 4.2 g/t Ag, 0.31% Zn)40.0 metres of 0.68 g/t AuEq (0.57 g/t Au, 5.9 g/t Ag, 0.3% Zn), including 9.0 metres of 1.43 g/t AuEq (1.27 g/t Au, 8.9 g/t Ag, 0.58% Zn)10.0 metres of 0.83 g/t AuEq (0.6 g/t Au, 2.5 g/t Ag, 0.6% Zn)Hole BK23-087:185.9 metres of 0.66 g/t AuEq (0.39 g/t Au, 8.2 g/t Ag, 0.53% Zn), including 1.5 metres of 5.59 g/t AuEq (4.10 g/t Au, 20.8 g/t Ag, 3.96% Zn), 20.1 metres of 0.98 g/t AuEq (0.62 g/t Au, 3.3 g/t Ag, 0.87% Zn), and 11.9 metres of 1.45 g/t AuEq (1.26 g/t Au, 7.4 g/t Ag, 0.64% Zn)The broad gold, silver and zinc intervals reported in these holes supports the potential for depth extension of bulk tonnage-style disseminated mineralization being delineated at Buck Main.Drilling at Buck Main is ongoing, and assay results from the remaining holes are pending with results expected as they are received and analyzed.Results from the extensive surface exploration program in the area of Mt Morice and CR (recently acquired from Teck; see June 1, 2023 news release) are being analyzed and interpreted and will be released shortly.Sharyn Alexander, Sun Summit's President, stated: \"The first two holes of our ongoing drill program at Buck Main indicate significant mineralization extends laterally and at depth. The consistent broad mineralized intercepts in this area of Buck Main clearly demonstrate the large scale gold, silver, and zinc potential of this target. These results reinforce our belief in the value remaining to be unlocked through our ongoing exploration efforts. We look forward to receiving additional results from this step-out drill program. In addition, ...
