(TSXV: SMN) (OTCQB: SMREF) (\"Sun Summit\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to provide an update from its fall 2021 phase of drilling at its 100% controlled Buck Property, central British Columbia. Two drill rigs are currently operating on site. HighlightsBuild on high-grade gold discovery: One drill rig is focused on high-grade gold mineralization in the Trench Zone (e.g., 31.6 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 4.0 metres including 246 g/t gold over 0.5 metres; BK21-020, see SMN news release dated May 11th, 2021). Nine holes have been completed so far, testing the target area by systematically stepping-out from previously reported significant intervals.Expand footprint of near-surface, bulk tonnage-style gold mineralization in the Horseshoe Zone and parts of the Trench Zone: One rig is stepping-out from known zones of near-surface, bulk tonnage-style gold mineralization (e.g., 1.07 g/t gold over 109 metres including 7.17 g/t gold over 5.2 metres; BK21-017, see SMN news release dated May 11th, 2021) and investigating lithological and structural controls on mineralization. Four holes have been completed so far in this area.Additional holes planned: Based on encouraging visual observations from numerous drill holes, together with updated modelling of new lithological and structural data, additional drill holes are planned. Assay and geochemical analyses underway: Core samples from two holes have been sent to the lab for assay with additional core shipments anticipated to be submitted on a weekly basis.Bob Willis, Sun Summit's CEO, stated, \"We are very pleased with our drill progress so far. The program is moving along as planned and we are hitting encouraging mineralization in all holes. Our geological team has been amending the drill plan based on new information from current drilling and has been updating the exploration model daily. New drill holes based on the refined model are planned. We eagerly await assay results and plan to update shareholders on a regular basis.\"Drill ProgramThe current drill program has three primary objectives, 1) investigate the extent and continuity of high-grade gold mineralization characteristic of the Trench Zone, 2) investigate the strike-extent...
