Upcoming Drill Program On Extension Of  Tonopah Mining District

VANCOUVER - Summa Silver Corp. reported on the upcoming drill program across the highly-prospective eastern extension of the Tonopah Mining district at the Hughes Project at Tonopah, Nevada. Approximately 7,000 m of drilling is planned between the Ruby and Sapphire discoveries located 1.3 to 4.2 km east of the edge of the Tonopah Mining District, the second largest historic silver producer in the State of Nevada. Holes are planned to test the extent and continuity of high-grade mineralization across at least 600 m eastward from Ruby.

Drilling will begin at Ruby with a series of step-out holes from high-grade mineralization discovered in previous drill programs, including: 1) 1,450 g/t silver equivalent (8.41 g/t Au, 813 g/t Ag) over 3.0 m in SUM23-59. 2) 430 g/t silver equivalent (2.47 g/t Au, 243 g/t Ag) over 2.0 m in SUM20-10. 3) 392 g/t silver equivalent (3.04 g/t Au, 147 g/t Ag) over 3.0 m in SUM23-60.

The drill program will consist of a series of reverse-circulation ("RC") pre-collared holes which will be completed through the prospective target zones via core drilling. RC and core drilling rigs have been secured with drilling scheduled to begin in December.

Galen McNamara, CEO, said, "Our geological team has always strongly believed that the eastern extension of the Tonopah district represents the best high-grade silver target in the State of Nevada. So far our work there has indeed underscored this potential where to date all 6 holes drilled looking for Tonopah-style veins have cut high-grade zones up to 4.2 km east of the old mining district. Given that historic production from Tonopah totalled 175M oz of silver and 1.86 M of gold along a trend of 4 km, a potential additional 4.2 km extension of the district represents an exciting and unique American silver opportunity. We very much look forward to the start of drilling in December."
