Sun Summit’s flagship Buck Project is a bulk-tonnage gold, silver, and zinc property located just south of the town of Houston in central British Columbia. The property has excellently developed infrastructure that allows year-round road access for exploration, has favourable host rock, drill-ready targets, and is located in a mining-friendly jurisdiction. Successful exploration drilling at Buck Main project in 2022 expanded the known footprint of mineralization.

Exploration plans for 2023 include the commencement of drilling this quarter at new, high-priority drill targets outside the Buck Main system called IRK and Eagle Eye targets. Progression of step-out drilling at Buck Main to investigate the extent and continuity of high-grade and bulk-tonnage mineralization. In addition, the Company is planning a significant field program to advance numerous other targets across the Buck project to provide additional discovery potential on the Buck property.

Prevailing market headwinds.

What do you think makes your company such a compelling investment?

Sun Summit is well financed and equipped with the combined value of a known high-grade gold discovery and multiple highly prospective, yet underexplored, secondary zones for ongoing exploration and possible discovery. While many in the sector are cutting back on exploration budgets due to the current difficulty in accessing capital, Sun Summit is fully funded and poised for project advancement and a steady flow of news through the balance of 2023.
