[{"type":"text","content":"Sun Summit Intersects Intense Alteration and Veining in Drilling at the Buck Project; New CFO AppointedVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 4, 2023) - Sun Summit Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SMN) (OTCQB: SMREF) provides an update on its current drill program at the 43,000 hectare Buck Project, central British Columbia. Drilling at two new exploration targets, IRK and Eagle Eye, have intersected strong hydrothermal-related alteration and veining with visible sulfide mineralization in drill core.HighlightsOngoing exploration drill program: Initial drilling at IRK and Eagle Eye have intersected strong hydrothermal-related alteration and veining with visible sulfide mineralization. Approximately 2,000 metres of diamond drilling are planned at these two newly-delineated and previously untested drill targets, which are located outside of the Buck Main system (see news release from March 15, 2023). Epithermal to porphyry-related mineralization at IRK: Strong alteration and veining, indicative of an epithermal to porphyry system, is present in drill core at the IRK target, with portable X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (pXRF) analysis indicating elevated silver, copper, lead and zinc values.Assay and geochemical analyses underway: Core samples from completed drill holes have been sent to the lab for assay and geochemical analyses with additional core shipments to be submitted on a regular basis as drilling continues. Upcoming field exploration aimed at discovery: Step-out drilling is currently being planned at the Buck Main zone to further test the strong expansion potential for gold-silver-zinc mineralization (see news release from January 19, 2023). A significant field program is also being planned at numerous under-explored targets across the Buck Project area. Sharyn Alexander, Sun Summit's President stated, \"Our technical team is encouraged by what we are seeing in drill core, which includes strong alteration and veining with visible sulfide mineralization. We are continuing to develop drill-ready targets outside of the Buck Main area via systematic exploration targeting. Our overarching aim is mineral discovery at the Buck Project, which is in what we believe to be an emerging porphyry-epithermal belt in central B.C.\"IRK TargetSeveral drill targets were outlined at the IRK target, located approximately 11 kilometres sout...
