Sun Summit Minerals Corp. report 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. Holes reported in this release are from two key areas, formerly known as the eastern 'Horseshoe' and the western 'Trench' zones.

Based on a new structural model, holes were drilled along northeast-southwest oriented sections with all holes drilled to the northeast at varying dips. This drill plan allowed for the systematic generation of cross sections across the Buck Main target to better define lithological and structural controls. Based on this modelling, it is apparent that lithology played a key role in the distribution of disseminated mineralization versus vein-hosted, high-grade mineralization.

The results from the remaining 24 holes will be used to further demonstrate continuity of mineralization within and between different styles of mineralization across the Buck Main area. Five holes (BK21-035, 039, 041, 042, and 043) were drilled on the western side of Buck Main (Figure 1) targeting high-grade, structurally controlled gold mineralization as well as broad zones of disseminated gold mineralization. Holes were designed to follow-up previously reported significant high-grade gold intercepts (e.g., BK20-012: 5.89 g/t AuEq over 17.0 metres including 23.10 g/t AuEq over 3.0 metres, and BK21-020: 31.75 g/t AuEq over 4.0 metres including 247 g/t AuEq over 0.5 metres.

Results from the first set of holes from the western side of Buck Main confirm the presence of near-surface, high-grade gold and silver mineralization and support the significant potential of this area. Holes from neighboring sections, to be released once all assays are received from the lab, will further inform the extent and continuity of vein-hosted high-grade gold mineralization.
