(TSXV: SMN) (OTCQB: SMREF) is pleased to announce surface sampling results from the summer 2023 exploration program at its flagship Buck Project in central B.C. The field campaign focused on exploration at several high-priority targets at the Mount Morice and CR areas and resulted in the discovery of a new zone of copper mineralization.Highlights:Strong copper mineralization: Rock samples returned results up to 1.00% Cu and 3.2 g/t Ag, and 0.94% Cu and 4.1 g/t Ag in a new zone that has seen limited exploration. Target areas show strong porphyry-related mineralization and alteration and remain open for expansion.Exploration aimed at discovery: Reconnaissance field work included detailed mapping, sampling, and prospecting around the Mount Morice and CR target areas.Completion of step-out drill program at Buck Main: The drill campaign consisted of 3,736 metres over 13 diamond drill holes in high-priority areas aimed at testing the lateral and vertical extents of mineralization (see June 8, 2023, news release). Assays have been released for the first two holes of the program, and remaining assays are being processed at the lab and will be released as they are received and interpreted.Sharyn Alexander, Sun Summit's President stated: \"We are very pleased with the results from our initial exploration efforts at CR, as well as follow-up exploration at Mount Morice. Both of these targets have shown notable mineralized occurrences through previous exploration and warrant detailed systematic follow-up. The detailed geological mapping and geochemical sampling will allow us to continue to define these targets and advance them towards the drill-ready stage. The results provide evidence of the project's ongoing potential for expansion and discovery of new mineralized zones.\"Exploration ProgramExtensive surface exploration was conducted in the area of Mount Morice and the newly acquired CR project (see June 1, 2023 news release). This work included detailed geological mapping, sampling, and prospecting, with a total of 230 surface samples collected in high-priority areas (203 rock samples, 17 silt samples, and 10 soil samples).
