Sun Summit Minerals (SMN) has received a property-wide exploration permit for its 33,000 hectare Buck Project in central British Columbia.

It is a five-year multi-year area-based (MYAB) permit for ongoing drilling programs and significant exploration activities to be conducted across the Buck Project.

The permit gives the company control over 217 drill sites, 40 line kilometres of geophysical surveys,250 trenching sites, and construction and modification of exploration access trails.

The company intends to begin drilling at the Buck Main zone in September. The upcoming drill program will expand near-surface zones of strong gold-silver-zinc mineralization at Buck Main, guided by recently compiled geological modelling.

Property-wide exploration on the project continues. These include rock chip, soil and silt sampling as well planning for an IP (induced polarization) geophysical survey.

“The receipt of this permit is an exciting milestone for the company,” noted Sharyn Alexander, Sun Summit’s President.

“With the newly attained permit we could see the drill turning at multiple prospective areas within the property in the near term, and are equipped to expand and explore additional targets, in addition to Buck Main, as they emerge,” she added.

The Buck Project is located on the territory of the Wet’suwet’en Peoples with whom Sun Summit is committed to engaging with in a transparent and respectful manner.

Sun Summit Minerals is an exploration company focused on expanding its gold, silver, and zinc discovery at its flagship 100-per-cent-controlled Buck Project located in north-central British Columbia.

Sun Summit Minerals Corp. was up 6.25 per cent, trading at $0.17as at 10:45 AM ET.
