Drilling During Inaugural Exploration Program At JD Project

VANCOUVER - Sun Summit Minerals Corp. reported on its fourth hole drilled during its inaugural exploration program at the JD Project in the Toodoggone District, north-central B.C. Hole CZ-24-004 returned one of highest-grade intervals drilled to date at the Creek Zone, 121.0 g/t gold over 1.52 metres, as well as intersected consistent gold mineralization over 122.53 metres from surface. These results continue to demonstrate the presence of both high-grade and bulk-tonnage gold mineralization in this under-explored target area.

Hole CZ-24-004 intersected a broad zone of near-surface, continuous gold mineralization punctuated with high-grade veins:  1) 122.53 metres of 2.11 g/t gold, including 20.0 metres of 10.01 g/t gold; 4.04 meters of 46.78 g/t gold; and 1.52 metres over 121.0 g/t gold. 2) Assay results build on previously announced drill results from the Creek Zone: These results further demonstrate the presence of significant high-grade gold mineralization as well as near-surface disseminated mineralization previously unrecognized due to selective sampling in historical drill programs. 3) Additional assay results pending: Assays from the remaining eight drill holes (1,674 metres) are pending. 4) Final results pending from numerous project-wide surveys: Results from soil and rock geochemical surveys together with final data products from an Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical survey and reprocessing of historic geophysical data are pending.

Sharyn Alexander, President, said, "The 2024 drill program continues to deliver significant results at the Creek Zone. Hole CZ-24-004, our fourth hole of this year's program, further confirms the potential for both high-grade and bulk-tonnage style gold mineralization and supports our initial thesis that selective sampling by previous operators missed the bulk-tonnage gold potential. The high-grade vein-hosted interval of 4.0 metres of 46.8 g/t gold, including 1.52 metres of 121.0 g/t gold, is significant and deserves further drill testing to better understand trends and structural controls. We look forward to sharing additional results from our summer program as they become available."
