Buck Property Initial Drill Results

VANCOUVER - Sun Summit Minerals Corp. announced initial drill results from its fall 2021 exploration program on its Buck Property, central B.C. Assays from eight of the 32 completed holes are reported.

Multiple intervals of high-grade, vein-hosted gold mineralization intersected in numerous holes: 11.65 grams/tonne (g/t) gold equivalent (AuEq) over 3.0 meters, including 31.79 g/t AuEq over 1.0 meter within 0.86 g/t AuEq over 60.8 meters (BK21-035); 14.86 g/t AuEq over 1.1 meters within 1.04 g/t AuEq over 21.9 meters (BK21-041); 10.03 g/t AuEq over 2.9 meters, including 16.05 g/t AuEq over 1.5 meters within 4.82 g/t AuEq over 6.8 meters (BK21-043); These high-grade intervals are within broader zones of near-surface disseminated mineralization; Results confirm the presence of widespread high-grade gold mineralization as previously reported (e.g., BK20-012: 5.89 g/t AuEq over 17.0 meters including 23.10 g/t AuEq over 3.0 meters, and BK21-020: 31.75 g/t AuEq over 4.0 meters including 247 g/t AuEq over 0.5 meters). Intervals are downhole core lengths. True widths are unknown. AuEq based on a 75:1 silver to gold ratio

Multiple intervals of near-surface, disseminated and breccia-hosted mineralization confirm strong continuity of bulk-tonnage style mineralization: 0.96 g/t AuEq over 102.0 meters, including 1.94 g/t AuEq over 18.0 meters and including 1.15 g/t AuEq over 19.3 meters (BK21-036); 0.74 g/t AuEq over 175.3 meters, including 1.25 g/t AuEq over 53.8 meters (BK21-038); and Results confirm strong grade continuity on the eastern side of Buck Main over a strike length of at least 300 meters. These bulk-tonnage intercepts are similar to previously released results.

Bob Willis, CEO, said, "This first batch of results from our 32 hole program across the Buck Main area, continues to demonstrate the growing scale of the system as every hole hit varying styles and grades of gold and silver mineralization from top to bottom. The presence of broad zones of near surface disseminated bulk-tonnage style mineralization together with local high-grade zones provide significant encouragement to support an aggressive 2022 drilling campaign. These higher grade zones should contribute favorably to future mineral resource and economic studies. The Buck Main mineralized system remains open in all directions."
