About this update from Sun Summit Minerals Corp.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 8, 2026) - Sun Summit Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SMN) (OTCQB: SMREF) ("Sun Summit" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its fully funded, 2026 exploration drill program at the JD Project, Toodoggone Mining District, north-central British Columbia has now started. Over 10,000 meters of drilling is planned across the Creek and Finn zones. Highlights: "We are excited to have officially launched our fully funded 10,000 meter drill program at our JD Project," said Niel Marotta, CEO of Sun Summit Minerals. "This program will include the most significant drilling at JD since the late 1990s. The 2026 program is the largest drill program planned since Sun Summit optioned the JD property in 2024, and represents more meters of drilling at JD than the last two drill seasons combined. Importantly, this program will drive the JD project towards an inaugural mineral resource estimate, expected in Q1 of 2027." Fully Funded 10,000 Meter Drill Program The recently commenced, 10,000-meter drill program at the JD project has been carefully planned with drill holes designed to contribute to an inaugural MRE for the Finn and Creek zones, anticipated to be released in Q1 of 2027 (see May 5th, 2026 News Release). Details of the 2026 drill program include: One drill rig is currently in operation, focused on the Creek Zone. A second rig is set to begin operating in the coming days. One of the drill rigs will move to the Finn Zone in the coming weeks once drill pads at Finn are constructed. Target Generation A project-wide airborne (MobileMT) survey has commenced across the entire JD Project. The survey consists of 740 line kilometers on 250 meter spaced, northwest-southeast oriented lines. The objective of the survey is to image subsurface resistivity/conductivity to a depth of approximately 1 to 2 kilometers. The purpose of the survey is to investigate the scale of broad and locally concealed alteration zones associated with known targets as well as to identify new target areas. Figure 1.
