(TSXV: SMN) OTC Pink: SMREF) (\"Sun Summit\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report the final assay results from the first phase of its 2021 exploration program on its Buck Property, central British Columbia. HighlightsLong intervals of continuous gold mineralization cut in BK21-033 (Horseshoe zone):87 metres of 1.13 grams per tonne (g/t) gold equivalent (AuEQ) within 265 metres of 0.66 g/t AuEQ and 409 metres of 0.52 g/t AuEQ.409 metre interval starts at six metres down hole and represents the longest zone of continuous gold mineralization intersected on the property.BK21-033 together with previously reported BK21-017 (241 metres of 0.77 g/t AuEQ, including 109 metres of 1.15 g/t AuEQ; May 11th, 2021 News Release) and BK21-032 (187 metres of 0.73 g/t AuEQ including 54.0 metres of 1.19 g/t AuEQ and a lower interval of 59.1 metres of 0.95 g/t AuEQ; June 10th, 2021 News Release) demonstrate significant bulk-tonnage gold potential of the northern-extent of the Horseshoe zone. Based on 2020 and 2021 drilling, the mineralized system at Buck is at least 950 metres east-west by 900 metres north-south, with limits not yet defined. Note: Intervals are downhole core lengths. True widths are unknown. AuEQ based on a 65:1 silver to gold ratio.Bob Willis, Sun Summit's CEO, commented: \"The 2021 drill program is a clear success. All holes cut multiple intervals of strong gold mineralization associated with significant hydrothermal alteration. In addition, large step-out holes from previously drilled areas, have yet to constrain the limits of the epithermal-related mineralized system.\"\"In this final batch of assays, BK21-033 yielded 211 gram*metres (409 metres x 0.52 g/t AuEQ), the highest gram*metre intersection to date on the property. This drill hole, along with holes BK21-017 and BK21-032, demonstrates the potential of the northern extent of the Horseshoe zone. This will be a priority area to further drill test once we ramp up our drill program.\"\"We aggressively stepped-out 400 metres to the east and drilled through post-mineralization volcanic rocks and hit Horseshoe zon...
