Vancouver, B.C. June 14^th, 2022: Sun Summit Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: SMN; OTCQB: SMREF) is pleased to announce the commencement of its summer 2022 exploration program across its Buck Property, central B.C.

Highlights

• Property-wide geophysical survey is set to commence: Crew and equipment have been mobilised to the property to conduct a heli-borne Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM) survey.

• High-resolution geophysical data to assist with target generation: Results will be used to refine and prioritise follow-up geological and geochemical surveys and possible drilling later this year.

• Drill planning in progress: All new data from the recently competed Buck Main drill program has been interpreted and included into the refined geological model. Targets within and peripheral to the Buck Main system are currently being ranked and prioritised.

Sharyn Alexander, Sun Summit’s President, stated:

“The start of this year’s property-wide exploration program is a very exciting time for us. Based on encouraging results from last year’s extensive drilling and field work, we decided it was paramount to focus on investigating the broader mineral potential and prospectivity of the entire property. As such, the objective of this extensive survey is to obtain important geophysical data from across the property to identify zones where geochemical, geological, and geophysical anomalies are coincidental. This additional data is anticipated to help focus follow-up work and generate new drill targets outside of the Buck Main zone.

“The Buck Property is surrounded by current and past-producing mines as well as numerous advanced-staged development projects¹. Although the Buck Main target area is the current focus, we strongly believe in the project’s potential to host multiple deposit-types. Our immediate goal therefore is to define and prioritise additional prospective drill targets to complement our ongoing systematic drill programs at Buck Main.”

Geophysical Survey

Sun Summit has contracted Geotech Ltd. to carry out a helicopter-borne VTEM geophysical survey across the Buck property. The over 1,800-line kilometre survey will be conducted on east-west oriented lines spaced 200 metres apart. The VTEM system is proprietary to Geotech and is used to map the apparent resistivity (or electrical conductivity) and the magnetic signature of bedrock underlying a survey area. This data can be used to map geologic structures, lithologies and alteration zones potentially related to hydrothermal fluids in areas buried by post-mineralization cover such as glacial till and soils. This type of survey has been successfully utilized in similar geologic environments to explore for porphyry- and epithermal-related mineralization.

Central to the 33,000 hectare Buck Property is an approximately 24 kilometre long, northwest-trending, fault-bound belt of Late Cretaceous Kasalka Group volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks, host to epithermal-related mineralization at Buck Main. Kasalka Group volcanic rocks also host bulk-tonnage epithermal-related mineralization at the Blackwater and Capoose gold-silver development projects of Artemis Gold Inc. (Angen et al., 2018)². These rocks are poorly exposed across the Buck Property due to widespread post-mineralization cover, therefore the high-resolution VTEM data will provide critical insight into the prospectivity of the underlying bedrock and help focus future ground-based surveys.

The initial focus will be to investigate the apparent resistivity signature of the Buck Main epithermal-related system and to look for comparable signatures across the entire property. These potential anomalies, together with other signatures interpreted to be possibly related to additional mineralization styles, will be ranked and prioritised. Follow-up geological and geochemical surveys will commence shortly after completion of the VTEM survey.

Vancouver, B.C. June 1^st, 2022: Sun Summit Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: SMN; OTCQB: SMREF) is pleased to report the final drill results from its winter 2022 exploration drill program on its Buck Property, central B.C.

Highlights:

• Intersected multiple zones of high-grade and bulk-tonnage style mineralization near the centre of Buck Main:
  • BK22-069:
    • 29.17 grams per tonne (g/t) gold equivalent (AuEq) over 1.0 metre within 3.11 g/t AuEq over 13.2 metres, within broader zone of 0.91 g/t AuEq over 69.8 metres.
  • Mineralization open in all directions: The broad zone of vein-hosted, high-grade intercepts, central to Buck Main, is unconstrained both laterally and at depth and open for expansion in all directions.
• Multiple broad intervals of near-surface, bulk-tonnage style mineralization identified on the eastern side of Buck Main: New drilling demonstrates strong grade continuity.
  • BK22-067:
    • 2.68 g/t AuEq over 11.3 metres within a broad zone of 0.98 g/t AuEq over 67.6 metres
  • BK22-075:
    • 2.22 g/t AuEq over 6.0 metres within a broad zone of 1.08 g/t AuEq over 63.5 metres

Notes:

1. Intervals are downhole core lengths. True widths are unknown.
2. Calculations are uncut and length-weighted using a 0.10 g/t gold cut-off.
3. AuEq assumes metal prices of $1700/oz Au, $22/oz Ag and $1.60/lbs Zn using the equation: AuEq(g/t) = ((Au(g/t)*$Au/oz*0.032151)+(Ag(g/t)*$Ag/oz*0.032151)+(Zn%*$Zn/lbs*22.0462))/($Au/oz*0.032151).
4. Assay results for individual metals for each AuEq calculation are reported in Table 1.

Sharyn Alexander, Sun Summit’s President, stated: “The high-grade intersections in drill holes BK22-068 and -069 supports our strong view that the Buck Main system has significant high-grade gold potential. These holes were designed to target high-grade gold-silver-zinc mineralization central to the system as outlined in previous programs – highlighted by discovery hole BK20-012. The remaining holes targeted bulk-tonnage style mineralization on the eastern side of Buck Main and were successful in identifying broad zones of disseminated mineralization in previously untested areas, outlining considerable exploration potential. Planning for the summer exploration season is ongoing and we look forward to additional step-out drilling at Buck Main as well as following up on exploration targets throughout our large property package.”

The nature of the high-grade mineralization at Buck Main is complex, hosted in discreet veins and veinlets with numerous orientations all within broad zones of structural complexity. Based on new observations and assay results, together with results from the previous grid-based program, the comprehensive structural model is being refined to better inform the system-scale orientations of preferential grade-controlling structures.

In addition to the considerable exploration potential west of Buck Main discovered in three step-out holes (see news release dated May 3^rd, 2022), the extent of near-surface bulk-tonnage style mineralization on the eastern-side of Buck Main represents an important target. All holes drilled in this area, as well as holes north of Bob Creek in the same host rocks, have so far intersected significant zones of disseminated and local breccia-hosted mineralization. Continued efforts will be focused on investigating the limits of this significant footprint of widespread mineralization.

Table 1. Assay Results

1. Intervals are downhole core lengths. True widths are unknown. Calculations are uncut and length-weighted using a 0.10 g/t gold cut-off.
2. AuEq assumes metal prices of $1700/oz Au, $22/oz Ag and $1.60/lbs Zn using the equation: AuEq(g/t) = ((Au(g/t)*$Au/oz*0.032151) + (Ag(g/t)*$Ag/oz*0.032151) + (Zn%*$Zn/lbs*22.0462)) / ($Au/oz*0.032151)

Drill Program

Holes BK22-068 and -069 targeted high-grade, structurally controlled mineralization as well as broad zones of disseminated gold-silver-zinc mineralization near the centre of the Buck Main epithermal-related system (Figure 1). The holes were designed to investigate the extent and continuity of high-grade gold-silver-zinc mineralization intersected in previous programs (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; see news releases dated January 5^th, 2021, and May 11^th, 2021). The holes tested a broad gap in drilling above and below BK20-012 (Figure 2). Based on updated geological modelling, prior to this program, a westerly azimuth was chosen for these holes.

Figure 1. Map showing drill collar locations with selected highlights

Figure 2. EW cross section showing selected highlights

BK22-068, drilled towards the west (Figure 2), intersected multiple zones of strong gold-silver-zinc mineralization starting at the collar and throughout the entire hole highlighted by 1.16 g/t AuEq over 13.6 metres and 1.02 g/t AuEq over 27.9 metres, including 7.09 g/t AuEq over 1.5 metres, and bottomed in 0.75 g/t AuEq over 7.3 metres (Table 1). BK22-069 was collared 45 metres west of BK22-068 and was drilled at a similar azimuth and dip. The hole collared in mineralization and intersected numerous broad zones of gold-silver-zinc mineralization highlighted by 3.11 g/t AuEq over 13.2 metres within broad zone of 0.91 g/t AuEq over 69.8 metres. This broad interval included a high-grade intercept of 29.17 g/t AuEq over 1.0 metre associated with vein-hosted quartz-carbonate-sulfide mineralization.

Mineralization in both holes is hosted in a sequence of andesites and sedimentary rocks cut by northwest-trending quartz-feldspar porphyritic dykes. Higher-grade intervals (Table 1) are hosted in local quartz + carbonate + sulfide veins associated with broad zones of quartz + sericite + pyrite alteration.

Holes BK22-068 and 069 were drilled at different azimuths compared to the previous grid-based drilling completed in late 2021 (see news releases dated January 5^th, 2022 and February 22^nd, 2022). The aim was to investigate the potential of oblique and/or conjugate structures within the wider east-west trending Buck structural corridor. Veins along these orientations would have been missed during the previous grid-based program, which was drilled with northeast orientations. New insights into this structurally complex zone are being incorporated into the model to inform the next round of drilling, both within and peripheral to the Buck Main system.

Holes BK22-067, 073, 074 and 075 targeted bulk-tonnage style mineralization on the eastern side of Buck Main where previous drilling intersected broad zones of near-surface, strong gold-silver-zinc mineralization hosted in dacitic volcaniclastic rocks (e.g., BK21-017: 1.25 g/t AuEq over 241 metres including 2.36 g/t AuEq over 45 metres, and BK21-032: 1.03 g/t AuEq over 187 metres including 4.38 g/t AuEq over 12.3 metres; see news release dated February 22^nd, 2022). Hole BK22-067 was drilled to the east and tested for mineralization continuity below previous drilling and intersected 0.98 g/t AuEq over 67.6 metres including 2.68 g/t AuEq over 11.3 metres associated with disseminated and clotted sphalerite and pyrite. Similarly, hole BK22-075 tested for mineralization continuity above previous drilling and intersected 1.08 g/t AuEq over 63.5 metres including 2.22 g/t AuEq over 6.0 metres. Hole BK22-073 was a step-out hole collared 130 metres southeast of BK20-010 and intersected numerous zones of disseminated gold-silver-zinc mineralization (Table 1) in a previously untested area. Additional drilling to the south and east is warranted.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control

All sample assay results have been monitored through the Company’s quality assurance / quality control (QA / QC) program. Drill core was sawn in half at Sun Summit’s core logging and processing facility in Houston, B.C. Half of the core was sampled and shipped in sealed and secure bags to the ALS Global preparation facilities in Kamloops, Langley or North Vancouver, B.C. Samples were prepared using standard preparation procedures. Following sample preparation, the pulps were sent to the ALS Global analytical laboratory in North Vancouver, B.C. for analysis. ALS Global is registered to ISO / IEC 17025:2017 accreditations for laboratory procedures.

Core samples were analyzed for 48 elements by ICP-MS on a 0.25 gram sample using a four acid digestion (method ME-MS61L). Gold was analyzed by fire assay on a 30 gram sample with an AAS finish (method Au-AA23). Samples with >10 parts per million (ppm) gold were re-analyzed by fire assay using a gravimetric finish on a 30 gram sample.  Samples with >100 ppm silver were re-analyzed using a four acid digestion and ICP-AES finish. Samples with >10,000 ppm zinc were re-analysed using a four acid digestion and ICP-AES finish.

In addition to ALS Global laboratory QA / QC protocols, Sun Summit implements an internal QA / QC program that includes the insertion of duplicates, standards and blanks into the sample stream.

AuEq incorporates metal prices of $1700/oz Au, $22/oz Ag and $1.60/lbs Zn using the equation: AuEq (AgZn) (g/t) = ((Au(g/t)*$Au/oz*0.032151) + (Ag(g/t)*$Ag/oz*0.032151) + (Zn%*$Zn/lbs*22.0462)) / ($Au/oz*0.032151)

Vancouver, B.C. May 3^rd, 2022: Sun Summit Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: SMN; OTCQB: SMREF) is pleased to report initial drill results from its winter 2022 exploration drill program and the discovery of new zones of bulk-tonnage style gold-silver-zinc mineralization on its Buck Property, central B.C.

Highlights

• Discovered new zone of strong gold-silver-zinc mineralization: Westernmost step-out holes intersected numerous zones of strong mineralization in a previously untested area.
• BK22-070:
  • 1.09 g/t gold equivalent (AuEq) over 73.5 metres including 2.20 g/t AuEq over 10.3 metres and 1.50 g/t AuEq over 17.0 metres within 0.84 g/t AuEq over 117.7 metres.
• BK22-071:
  • 1.31 g/t AuEq over 18.0 metres within 0.75 g/t AuEq over 47.7 metres.
  • 1.40 g/t AuEq over 12.0 metres including 2.63 g/t AuEq over 6.0 metres.
  • 1.44 g/t AuEq over 13.0 metres including 11.37 g/t AuEq 0.8 metres.
  • 1.65 g/t AuEq over 7.6 metres including 9.57 g/t AuEq over 1.1 metres.
• BK22-072:
  • 1.12 g/t AuEq over 23.0 metres including 12.03 g/t AuEq over 1.5 metres.
  • 6.53 g/t AuEq over 1.5 metres.
  • 1.36 g/t AuEq over 12.8 metres and 0.97 g/t AuEq 51.4 metres within 0.68 g/t AuEq over 145.0 metres.
  • 1.66 g/t AuEq over 10.9 metres within 0.81 g/t over 36.8 metres.
• Opens exploration potential significantly to the west, south and at depth of Buck Main:
  • Cumulative grade thickness through all zones of mineralization in new holes compares favourably with other holes drilled some 500 metres to the east.
• A systematic follow-up drill program is currently being planned to fully evaluate the scale and potential of this new discovery.
• The results of the remaining six holes are pending.

Notes:

1. Intervals are downhole core lengths. True widths are unknown.
2. Calculations are uncut and length-weighted using a 0.10 g/t gold cut-off.
3. AuEq assumes metal prices of $1700/oz Au, $22/oz Ag and $1.60/lbs Zn using the equation: AuEq(g/t) = ((Au(g/t)*$Au/oz*0.032151)+(Ag(g/t)*$Ag/oz*0.032151)+(Zn%*$Zn/lbs*22.0462))/($Au/oz*0.032151).
4. Assay results for individual metals for each AuEq calculation are reported in Table 1.

Sharyn Alexander, Sun Summit’s President, stated: “These western step-out holes at Buck have significantly expanded our exploration footprint and provided us with a compelling priority target for systematic follow-up drilling. The style, polymetallic nature and grade of the new discovery zone are very similar to what is found in the Horseshoe zone 500 metres to the east. These holes strongly confirm our belief that we are just beginning to scratch the surface of the Buck Main system, where the limits of mineralization are still unconstrained.”

“We await the results from six more holes currently in the lab. Once all results have been reported, we will compile the data, generate an updated geological model and design a systematic follow-up drill program testing these new zones of mineralization as well as previously discovered targets.”

Drill Program

Holes BK22-070, -071 and -072 were designed to investigate the extent and continuity of bulk-tonnage style gold-silver-zinc mineralization previously intersected in holes BK21-059 and -065 (Figure 1; see news release February 22, 2022). The new holes confirm strong grade-continuity of near-surface bulk-tonnage style mineralization hosted in dacitic volcaniclastic rocks and quartz-feldspar-porphyry dykes and demonstrate the significant depth potential of the system to the south and west.

Figure 2. Cross section 4350 showing selected highlights

BK22-070, drilled towards the southwest (Figure 2), intersected strongly altered and mineralized andesite below the mineralized dacitic volcaniclastic package highlighted by a composite interval of 0.84 g/t AuEq over 117.7 metres including 1.09 g/t AuEq over 73.5 metres and 2.20 g/t AuEq over 10.3 metres (Table 1). Hole BK22-071, collared from the same pad but drilled with a steeper dip, intersected numerous zones of strong gold-silver-zinc mineralization (e.g., 1.31 g/t AuEq over 18.0 metres within 0.75 g/t AuEq over 47.7 metres, and 1.40 g/t AuEq over 12.0 metres including 2.63 g/t AuEq over 6.0 metres – intervals are downhole core lengths, true widths are unknown). Similar to hole BK22-070, mineralization here continued below the dacites. BK22-072 was collared 60 metres to the west of BK22-070 and -71 and was drilled to the southwest. The hole intersected numerous zones of >1.0 g/t AuEq mineralization down to 500 metres (Table 1) followed by strong sulfide-rich mineralization to the bottom of the hole. This lower zone of mineralization is hosted in dacitic volcaniclastic rocks with strong zinc anomalism (e.g., 187 metres of 0.53% Zn).

The tenure of mineralization intersected in holes BK22-070, -071 and -072 compares favourably to other holes on the property collared 500 metres to the east (see news release July 6, 2021). The cumulative grade thickness through all zones of mineralization in BK22-070 was 202 g/t AuEq*m, BK22-071 was 166 g/t AuEq*m, and BK22-072 was 230 g/t AuEq*m. These results support the considerable potential of the western side of Buck for the development of bulk-tonnage targets. Furthermore, local zones of high-grade gold-silver-zinc mineralization (e.g., 11.37 g/t AuEq over 0.8 metres in BK22-071, and 12.03 g/t AuEq over 1.5 metres in BK22-072 – intervals are downhole core lengths, true widths are unknown) are similar to high-grade vein-hosted mineralization previously intersected near the centre of Buck Main and suggest strong high-grade potential to the west.

Vancouver, B.C. April 6, 2022: Sun Summit Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: SMN; OTCQB: SMREF) is pleased to provide an update from its current drill program at Buck Main and results from its recently completed property-wide exploration program across the Buck Property, central British Columbia.

Highlights

• Drilling ongoing: Nine holes have so far been completed at Buck Main.
• Testing for high-grade structures and the limits of the Buck Main hydrothermal system: Six holes have been completed in the core of the Buck Main and three holes on the western margin.
• Discovery of strong copper and silver mineralization: A zone of strong copper (Cu) and silver (Ag) mineralization was discovered approximately 1.5 km west of Buck Main where assays of up to 302 grams per tonne (g/t) Ag and 0.47% Cu have been returned in rock chip samples.
• Soil geochemical anomalies to be evaluated with VTEM: Numerous multi-element soil geochemical anomalies have been identified, which may have additional detailed exploration subsequent to the upcoming property-wide VTEM (Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic) geophysical survey

Sharyn Alexander, Sun Summit’s President, commented:

“We are very pleased with our drilling progress so far. We have completed nine holes with many more holes planned. The focus for drilling is to build on our significant grid-based program and to investigate new target areas as well as the potential for additional high-grade structures within the Buck Main area.

“We are also very excited to announce the discovery of an outcropping zone of strong silver and copper mineralization just west of the Buck Main target known as the CC zone. Sampling there returned impressive results such as 302 g/t silver and up to 0.47% copper. The zone is open in all directions and clearly warrants significant follow-up surveys.

“The Buck property is surrounded by current and past-producing mines¹ as well as multiple advanced-stage development assets. The region has seen a recent resurgence in exploration for copper-molybdenum porphyries as well as epithermal-related gold and silver systems. Our recent reconnaissance-level exploration program across the property has identified multiple geochemical anomalies that suggest proximity to concealed porphyry and epithermal systems. Outcrop is very limited across the property, therefore these prospective areas will be further evaluated with an upcoming property-wide VTEM geophysical survey to develop new drill targets.”

Buck Main Drill Program

The current drill program is designed to follow-up significant results from the recently completed, grid-based 10,327 metre drill program across Buck Main (see news releases dated January 5^th, 2022 and February 22^nd, 2022).

Nine holes have so far been completed. Three holes have tested the western extent of the Buck Main system where previous results suggested the system remained open (e.g., holes BK21-059 and BK21-065; news release February 22^nd, 2022), two holes have tested for high-grade structures central to the Buck Main target (e.g., BK20-012; news release January 5^th, 2021), and four holes have focused on testing the eastern-extent of breccia-hosted and disseminated mineralization (e.g., BK21-017; news release May 11^th, 2021).

Core samples from the first four holes are in the lab and results will be released once received and interpreted.

Property-Wide Exploration

The focus of the 2021 summer reconnaissance-style exploration program was on the approximately 24 kilometre long, northwest-trending, fault-bound belt of Late Cretaceous Kasalka Group volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks, host to epithermal-related mineralization at the Buck Main target area. The program consisted of geological mapping and prospecting, soil geochemical surveys, and rock-chip sampling in areas of outcropping bedrock.

CC Zone

The CC Zone is centered approximately 1.5 kilometres west of the Buck Main target along the banks of an incised creek. The zone consists of a brecciated and well-mineralized contact between two volcanic units. Mineralization comprises multiple approximately 5 cm wide veins containing variable amounts of copper oxides and silver-bearing sulfosalts and has been traced for 25 metres where the contact is obscured by overburden. Rock chip samples taken in proximity to the contact returned up to 302 g/t Ag, 0.47% Cu as well as 162 g/t Ag, 0.25% Cu (Figure 1). Follow-up work, including grid-based soil-geochemical surveys, detailed geological mapping and prospecting, and IP geophysics, are being planned for CC target area.

Soil Geochemical Surveys

Rocks are poorly exposed across the Buck Property due to the presence of widespread overburden, therefore, the geochemistry of soils are used as a proxy for bedrock geochemistry. Soil samples were collected along property-wide transects and also on focused grids.

Epithermal and porphyry-related pathfinder elements (e.g., antimony, arsenic, zinc, copper, molybdenum) are used to identify areas of high-prospectivity and define footprints of hydrothermally altered bedrock. Areas with high zinc and arsenic are considered priority as a similar element association is associated with Buck-style mineralization.

Numerous open-ended, multi-element pathfinder anomalies were identified (e.g., single line anomalies; Figure 2) and represent key areas that require significantly more sampling to define the extent of the geochemical footprints. These anomalies will also be further investigated during the upcoming property-wide VTEM geophysical survey. This heli-borne survey is designed to map changes in conductivity of the underlying bedrock to help focus exploration on zones of potential hydrothermal-related alteration and mineralization. A full compilation of all exploration data will be reported upon its completion.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control

All sample assay results have been monitored through the Company’s quality assurance / quality control (QA/QC) program. Rock and soil samples were located in the field with a GPS and shipped in sealed and secure bags to the ALS Global preparation facilities in Kamloops, Langley or North Vancouver, B.C. Samples were prepared using standard preparation procedures. Following sample preparation, the pulps were sent to the ALS Global analytical laboratory in North Vancouver, B.C. for analysis. ALS Global is registered to ISO / IEC 17025:2017 accreditations for laboratory procedures.

Rock samples were analyzed for 48 elements by ICP-MS on a 0.25 gram sample using a four acid digestion (method ME-MS61L). Gold was analyzed by fire assay on a 30 gram sample with an AAS finish (method Au-AA23). Samples with >100 ppm silver were re-analyzed using a four acid digestion and ICP-AES finish. Samples with >10,000 ppm zinc were re-analysed using a four acid digestion and ICP-AES finish. Soil samples were analyzed for 53 elements by ICP-MS on a 25 gram sample using an aqua regia digestion (method AuME-ST43).

Community Engagement
