[{"type":"text","content":"Sun Summit Intersects 43.5 Metres of 1.4 g/t Au Including 3.6 Metres of 7.3 g/t Au in First Hole Drilled at the Creek Zone, JD Project, Toodoggone District, B.C.Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 19, 2024) - Sun Summit Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SMN) (OTCQB: SMREF) announces initial drill results from its inaugural exploration program at the JD Project in the Toodoggone District, north-central B.C. The first three drill holes at the Creek Zone intersected high grade vein-hosted mineralization found within broad zones of disseminated gold mineralization. Results demonstrate the presence of both high-grade and bulk-tonnage gold mineralization in this under-explored target area of the highly prospective JD Project.Highlights:Intersected multiple zones of high-grade, vein-hosted gold + base metal mineralization within broad zones of bulk-tonnage style gold mineralization: 61.52 metres of 1.07 g/t gold, including 43.49 metres of 1.40 g/t gold, 3.60 metres of 7.28 g/t gold, and including 0.50 metres of 24.30 g/t gold, 43.7 g/t silver, and 4.46% zinc (CZ-24-001) 29.08 metres of 1.64 g/t gold, including 9.52 metres of 3.89 g/t gold, and including 0.87 metres of 16.60 g/t gold, 11.6 g/t silver, and 4.47% zinc (CZ-24-002)95.50 metres of 0.70 g/t gold, including 34.0 metres of 1.32 g/t gold, and including 0.50 metres of 18.0 g/t gold and 1.37% zinc (CZ-24-003)Results demonstrate continuity of strong gold grades and the presence of significant, near-surface disseminated mineralization previously unrecognized due to selective sampling in historical drill programs.Additional assay results pending: Assays from the remaining nine drill holes (1,870 metres) are pending, including three additional holes from the Creek Zone.Final results pending from numerous project-wide surveys: Results from soil and rock geochemical surveys together with final data products from an Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical survey are pending. Sharyn Alexander, President of Sun Summit Minerals, stated: \"The first three drill holes at the Creek Zone intersected broad zones of continuous near-surface mineralization, which confirm the potential for both high-grade and bulk-tonnage style gold mineralization. These three holes support our initial thesis that selective sampling by previous operators missed the bulk-tonnage gold potential. These findings ...
