Sun Summit Minerals Corp. reported drill results from the first five holes of its fall 2022 exploration drill program on its Buck Project, central B.C. The program consisted of 10 diamond drill holes totalling approximately 3,000 metres. The focus of the drill program was to test the extent of the Buck Main gold-silver-zinc epithermal-related system along strike and at depth.

Analytical results from the first five expansion holes indicate the presence and continuity of gold-silver-zinc epithermal-related mineralization beyond the previously tested Buck Main mineralized system. Three of the westernmost holes intersected broad zones of strong gold- silver-zinc mineralization with numerous higher-grade intervals. Highlights from the first 5 holes include: Hole BK22-083: 72.0 metres of 0.5 g/t Au and 10.0 g/t Ag, including 4.2 metres of 3.1 g/t Au and 53.8 g/t Ag; 7.0 metres of 6.4 g/t Au and 27.6 g/t Ag, including 1.1 metres of 38.0 g/t Au and 137.0 g/t Ag.

Hole BK22-082: 37.3 metres of 0.7 g/t Au and 10.9 g/t Ag, including 1.5 metres of 11.8 g/t Au and 39.2 g/t Ag, before the hole was lost in bad ground. Hole BK22-081: 27.0 metres of 0.4 g/t Au and 14.9 g/t Ag before the hole was lost in bad ground. Results demonstrate strong expansion potential for both disseminated and high-grade gold-silver-zinc mineralization to the west and to the south of previous drill programs.
