Sun Summit Minerals Corp. (SMN) has begun a property-wide exploration program over several highly prospective target areas within its Buck Project.
Crews have mobilized to the site and have started collecting soil samples.
Results from the company’s recent property-wide heli-borne Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM) survey, with compiled and reinterpreted historic and recently acquired exploration data, have outlined several areas considered prospective for Buck-style epithermal-related gold-silver-zinc mineralization as well as potential porphyry-related copper mineralization.

The Buck Main system remains open in multiple directions and drill targets within and peripheral to the mineralizing system are currently being finalized.
Sun Summit’s President, Sharyn Alexander said that the results of the high-resolution VTEM geophysical survey, as well as the assessment and reinterpretation of existing geological, geophysical, and geochemical data, have provided new insight into the unique potential in this region.
“In addition to expanding our Buck Main discovery, our large property has the potential to host additional Buck-style prospects and other deposit types. Our technical team has selected several high-priority areas for follow-up geochemical sampling and geological mapping which will improve our understanding of the Project’s district-scale prospectivity and could lead to additional discoveries.”
She added that the property-wide exploration program at the Buck Project is expected to continue over the coming months as the team advances toward a follow-up drill program at Buck Main.
Sun Summit Minerals is an exploration company focused on expanding its epithermal gold, silver, and zinc discovery at its flagship 100-per-cent-controlled 330 sq km Buck Project located in north-central British Columbia near the town of Houston in central B.C.
Sun Summit Minerals Corp. was up 3.03 per cent, trading at $0170 at 1:05 pm ET.
