[{"type":"text","content":"Sun Summit to Recommence Drill Program at Buck Property; Plans Property-Wide Geophysical SurveyVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 25, 2022) - Sun Summit Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SMN) (OTCQB: SMREF) is pleased to announce that exploration drilling is set to recommence at its 100% controlled Buck Property, central British Columbia. The exploration program will be designed to expand on the Buck Main epithermal gold discovery which remains open in all directions and at depth.HighlightsCrews are mobilizing: One drill rig is currently on site and the crew has commenced mobilization.Expanded program will test new targets: The first drillholes will build on the significant results from previous programs focused on testing new targets within Buck Main and the limits of the mineralized hydrothermal footprint.Property-wide geophysical survey: Plans are underway to commence a property-wide VTEM geophysical survey, which will help define additional targets on the property, some of which could be coincidental with recently discovered geochemical anomalies.\"We are very eager to get the drill rig turning again,\" Sharyn Alexander, Sun Summit's President, stated. \"Even without receiving all assays back from the lab from our most recent program, we are excited with what we're seeing so far. Drill results at Buck Main continue to return significant gold intercepts from surface, adding bulk-tonnage mineralization as well as high grade 'sweeteners'. We look forward to the months ahead as we move this program forward and continue to share results from our previous exploration and drilling.\"Drill ProgramThe upcoming drilling is designed to follow-up the 10,327 metre drill program, which targeted high-grade and bulk tonnage-style gold mineralization at Buck Main (see news release dated November 30th, 2021). From that program, a total of eight holes have been released including significant intercepts of high-grade gold mineralization (e.g., 11.4 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 3.0 metres including 31.3 g/t gold over 1.0 metres; BK21-035) and continuous bulk tonnage-style gold mineralization (e.g., 0.68 g/t gold over 175.3 metres including 1.16 g/t gold over 53.8 metres; BK21-038) (see news release dated January 5th, 2022). Additional assay results will be released shortly as they are received and analyzed. After pausing the drill pro...
