(TSXV: SMN) (OTCQB: SMREF) is pleased to announce plans for an initial Mineral Resource Estimate to be completed covering the Buck Main zone of the Buck Project, located in central British Columbia.HighlightsInitial Mineral Resource Estimate: An initial Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) is being planned for Buck Main, with expected completion in Q1 2024. Since 2020, 98 drill holes totalling over 34,500 metres have been completed within the Buck Main zone, with the potential to incorporate additional historic drilling.Assay Results Pending: Remaining results from the most recent drill program will be reported once they are received and analyzed, and will be included in the planned MRE.Unconstrained Mineralized Footprint: The known mineralized footprint demonstrates strong near-surface grade continuity and currently measures over 1.1 kilometres in strike length and 700 metres in width. Latest drill testing at Buck Main continues to intersect mineralization outside the known footprint, supporting the zone's further potential for expansion subsequent to completion of the MRE. Ongoing Discovery Potential: In tandem with completion of the MRE, drilling and exploration will continue throughout the Buck Project area with multiple additional zones and target areas warranting exploration and drill testing. Successful delineation of additional mineralization outside of the MRE could trigger a future update or expansion to the initial MRE.\"We are excited to announce plans to commence an initial Mineral Resource Estimate on the Buck Main zone.\" stated Sharyn Alexander, Sun Summit's President. \"The Buck Project is located in an exceptional jurisdiction with existing infrastructure, transparent permitting process, and district-scale exploration upside. Drill results at Buck Main continue to demonstrate significant potential with size and scale opportunities. Our technical team has systematically tested the system, defined by near-surface gold, silver and zinc mineralization, which remains open in all directions. As we continue our ongoing exploration throughout the project area, the completion of an initial MRE will be a significant milestone for the company and a major ...
