(TSXV: SMN (OTCQB: SMREF) is pleased to announce additional assay results from recent step-out drilling at the Buck Main target as part of a multi-stage exploration program across its 52,000 hectare Buck project located in central British Columbia. Results indicate significant expansion potential along the northwestern extent of known mineralization.Highlights:Expanded footprint of mineralization along strike and at depth: Results indicate that significant gold, silver, and zinc mineralization extend laterally beyond limits of previous drilling and defines strong depth potential where previous drilling is sparse.Hole BK23-094 returned 1.26 g/t gold equivalent (AuEq) over 43.5 metres from 18.5 metres depth, including 1.0 metre of 16.97 g/t AuEq, in a 100 metre step-out to the northwest.Hole BK23-091 bottomed in mineralization, intersecting 0.72 g/t AuEq over 11.7 metres to the end of the hole.Hole BK23-089 bottomed in 0.63 g/t AuEq over 10.2 metres, suggesting mineralization increases at untested depths to the north.Assay results pending: Assays from remaining drill holes are pending with results expected to be released as they are received and analyzed.Sharyn Alexander, Sun Summit's President, stated: \"This latest round of drill results from Buck Main demonstrates strong continuity of mineralization in three dimensions and adds considerable scale to the extent of the known system, which still remains open. These holes primarily tested undefined margins of the well-mineralized NW-trending structural corridor and were successful at finding additional significant mineralization to the north, west, and at depth. Results from these holes speak to the unique nature of Buck Main, and are inline with expected grade thresholds of a possible near-surface bulk tonnage gold system.\"Drill Program DetailsThe recently completed drill program at the Buck Main target consisted of 3,736 metres over 13 diamond drill holes aimed at testing the lateral and vertical extents of near-surface gold-silver-zinc mineralization (see June 8, 2023, news release). Improved understanding on the controls of mineralization ass...
