Sun Peak Metals Corp. reported that the initial 2024 drill program on the Shire Project in Ethiopia is now complete and results are pending. The Company drilled 24 diamond drill holes on the Terer and Hamlo VMS Targets located on the Terer License, for a total of 5,236 meters.

All core samples have now been submitted to the lab and the first batch of results are expected in July. Highlights: A total of 12 diamond drill holes were completed at the Terer VMS target for a total of 2,660m; A total of 12 drill holes were completed at the Hamlo VMS target, for total of 2,576m; First batch of assay results are expected in July; Exploration work consisting of prospecting, mapping, and sampling will continue through the rainy season. Drilling is set to resume in Fourth Quarter 2024 after the rainy season.

Both the Terer and Hamlo Targets are part of the cluster of targets referred to as the Anguda VMS System area, which is part of a large defined VMS cluster that trends southwest-northeast for over 20km by over 10km wide. Both targets have gossan outcrops, with geophysical gravity high anomalies and strong geophysical VTEM conductors. The Company is now planning the next drill program which is expected to begin after the rainy season ends in October.

All drill holes reported are diamond drill core holes. A Quality Assurance/Quality Control program was part of the sampling program. This program includes the systemic submittals of standards, duplicates, and blank samples into the flow of samples produced by the sampling.

Samples were prepared at ALS Laboratory in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and sent to ALS Laboratory in Dublin, Ireland for analysis.
