Sun Summit Commences Inaugural Drill Program Targeting High-grade Gold Mineralization at the JD Project
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 30, 2024) - Sun Summit Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SMN) (OTCQB: SMREF) is pleased to announce the commencement of its inaugural exploration campaign at the JD Project, north-central British Columbia. The JD Project, located in the prolific Toodoggone gold-copper mining district, spans 15,000 hectares and hosts numerous under-explored, epithermal-related gold-silver and porphyry-related copper-gold targets.
溫哥華,不列顛哥倫比亞省—(新聞稿公司—2024年7月30日)—Sun Summit Minerals corp.(tsxv:SMN)(OTCQB:SMREF)很高興宣佈在不列顛哥倫比亞省中北部的JD項目啓動初次勘探,該項目位於多多貢(Toodoggone)金銅礦區,面積15000公頃,具有許多未被充分開發的脈狀熱泉型關聯金銀和斑岩型關聯銅金礦靶區。
Highlights:
亮點:
Inaugural drill program has started: Up to 3,000 metres of drilling, targeting near-surface, high-grade, epithermal-related gold-silver mineralization within the Finn to Creek Corridor has commenced.
Targeting high-grade gold mineralization: The first five planned drill holes at Creek will target extensions of high-grade gold mineralization where limited drilling in 1997 and 1998 returned intercepts such as 22.0 metres* of 11.7 g/t Au including 4.0 metres of 61.2 g/t Au from drill hole CZ97-008 (February 12, 2024 news release).
-
Comprehensive exploration program is ramping up: In addition to drilling, other complementary exploration activities include:
A 20-line kilometre Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical survey has been completed across the Creek Zone and potential deeper targets to the northeast. Data review has commenced
A grid-based, 2,000 sample soil geochemical survey, designed to investigate the footprints of multiple target areas is nearing completion
Detailed structural and geological mapping focused on the Finn to Creek Corridor is ongoing
A project-wide LiDAR survey has been completed and data review has commenced
首個鑽探項目已經開始:針對Finn to Creek走廊內的近地表、高品位、次生熱液型金銀礦化目標進行的長達3,000米的鑽探活動已經開始。
瞄準高品位金礦化:Creek地區最初計劃的5口鑽孔將瞄準高品位金礦化的延伸部分。1997年和1998年的有限鑽探曾返回了一些結果,如來自鑽孔CZ97-008(2024年2月12日新聞發佈會)的含22.0米*11.7克/噸黃金,包括4.0米*61.2克/噸黃金的截獲結果。
-
全面的勘探計劃正在加緊推進:除了鑽探之外,其他互補性勘探活動包括:
20公里的誘導極化地球物理勘測(IP)調查已經完成,跨越Creek區域和東北潛在更深層次的目標。數據回顧已經開始。
基於網格的2,000個樣品的土壤地球化學調查,旨在調查多個目標區域的痕跡,即將完成。
專注於Finn to Creek走廊的詳細構造和地質製圖工作仍在進行。
一項全面的LiDAR調查已經完成,正在進行數據回顧。
"We are very pleased to see the drill turning at the JD Project" stated Sharyn Alexander, Sun Summit's President. "Hard work over the last several months has led to this first exciting milestone in our exploration program. We have designed our summer program to investigate the gold potential of several high-priority targets through drilling as well as complementary project-wide geophysical, geological and geochemical surveys. Results from all activities will set the foundation for continued exploration across multiple target areas. We look forward to keeping the market informed on our exploration progress this summer."
「我們非常高興看到JD項目鑽探正式啓動,」Sun Summit總裁Sharyn Alexander表示。「過去幾個月的辛勤工作已經爲我們的勘探計劃迎來了第一個令人興奮的里程碑。我們已經設計了一個夏季計劃,通過鑽探以及所有項目範圍內的地球物理、地質和地球化學勘探調查來調查多個優先級別高的目標的黃金潛力。所有活動的結果將爲跨越多個目標區域的持續勘探奠定基礎。我們期待着在今年夏季向市場及時公佈勘探進展情況。」

Drill Commencement and Program Update
鑽探啓動和程序更新
The summer 2024 drill program first aims to explore potential extensions of sulphide-rich, structurally controlled, high-grade gold mineralization intersected in historical drilling at the Creek Zone. Limited drilling in 1997 and 1998 at Creek returned intervals such as 22.0 metres* of 11.7 g/t Au including 4.0 metres of 61.2 g/t Au from drill hole CZ97-008 (see February 12, 2024, news release). The first five planned drill holes comprise step-outs from areas of known mineralization.
2024年夏季鑽探計劃首先旨在探索潛在的硫化物豐富、結構控制的高品位金礦化的延伸部分,這在歷史鑽孔中有所發現。1997年和1998年在Creek地區進行的有限鑽探曾返回了一些結果,如來自鑽孔CZ97-008(見2024年2月12日發佈的新聞稿)的22.0m*11.7克/噸黃金,包括4.0m*61.2克/噸黃金的截獲結果。最初的五個計劃鑽孔將步進從已知礦化區域。
The multidisciplinary program will also target gold mineralization across the 4.5-kilometre Finn to Creek Corridor and the Belle target areas (Figure 1). Exploration activities recently completed and still underway include:
多學科計劃還將針對Finn to Creek走廊和Belle目標區域的金礦化進行開採。最近完成的和正在進行的勘探活動包括:
IP Geophysical Survey: A 20-line kilometre IP survey has been completed over the Creek zone as well and potential proximal yet deeper targets to the northeast, where outcrop exposure is sparce. Data review and interpretation is currently underway.
Soil Geochemical Survey: Up to 2,000 soil samples will be collected across the Creek and Belle zones. At Creek, sampling is designed to infill gaps in previous geochemical surveys in 2013 as well as to confirm results of historic surveys from the 1980s. At Belle, centered 2.7 km south of the Finn Zone, grid-based soil sampling is designed to investigate the geochemical footprints of epithermal-related gold mineralization identified in historic trenching.
Structural and Geological Mapping: Detailed mapping, focused on the Finn to Creek Corridor, is ongoing and designed to refine the geological model as well as identify significant structural features, particularly at the Creek Zone where the orientation of gold-bearing structures is not well understood.
LiDAR and Aerial Photography: A property-wide LiDAR and aerial photography survey with sub-metre accuracy has been completed. This survey will provide detailed terrain models essential for accurate geological interpretation and project planning. Data review has commenced.
IP地球物理調查:20公里的IP調查已經覆蓋了Creek區域以及向東北的潛在靠近而更深的靶向區域,礦石露頭很少。數據回顧和解釋目前正在進行。
土壤地球化學調查:將在Creek和Belle區域收集多達2,000個土壤樣本。對於Creek,採樣旨在填補以前地球化學調查中的缺口,並確認1980年代歷史調查的結果。在Belle區域,中心距離Finn區域2.7公里,基於網格的土壤採樣旨在調查歷史溝槽中已經鑑定的次生熱液型金礦化的地球化學足跡。
詳細的構造和地形制圖工作正在進行,重點是集中在Finn to Creek走廊,旨在完善地質模型以及確定重要的結構特徵,特別是在Creek地區黃金含量結構的方向不太容易理解的區域。
一項貫穿整個項目的LiDAR測量和空中攝影調查,精度達到亞米級,已經完成。這項調查將提供詳細的地形模型,對準確的地質解釋和項目規劃至關重要。數據回顧已經開始。
Results from all initial exploration activities will be used to rank and prioritise the next set of drill holes in the Finn to Creek Corridor.
所有初步勘探活動的結果將用於排名和優先考慮Finn to Creek走廊中的下一組鑽探孔。

About the JD Project
JD Project簡介:JD Project位於不列顛哥倫比亞省中北部的Toodoggone採礦區,被認爲是具有前途的銅、金、銀礦化趨勢。該項目涵蓋了一個超過15,000公頃的區域,並且靠近正在進行的勘探和開發項目,例如Thesis Gold的律政與牧場項目,TDG Gold的貝克-莎斯塔項目,Centerra Gold的Kemess East(金)和地下項目,以及 Kemess開放式銅金礦的地方礦。
The JD Project is located in the Toodoggone mining district in north-central British Columbia, a highly prospective deposit-rich mineral trend. The project covers an area of over 15,000 hectares and is in close proximity to active exploration and development projects, such as Thesis Gold's Lawyers and Ranch projects, TDG Gold's Baker-Shasta projects, Centerra's Gold's Kemess East and Underground projects, as well as the past-producing Kemess open pit copper-gold mine.
JD Project位於不列顛哥倫比亞省中北部的Toodoggone採礦區,這是一個十分有預期的富含礦牀的礦產帶。該項目覆蓋面積超過15,000公頃,靠近活躍的勘探和開發項目,例如Thesis Gold的Lawyers和Ranch項目,TDG Gold的Baker-Shasta項目、Centerra Gold的Kemess East和Kemess地下項目以及過去生產的Kemess露天銅金礦。
The project is 450 kilometres northwest of the city of Prince George, and 25 kilometres north of the Sturdee airstrip. It is proximal to existing infrastructure in place to support the past-producing Kemess mine, including roads and a hydroelectric power line.
項目基礎設施:項目地處不列顛哥倫比亞省中北部,具有與過去的Kemess開放式銅金礦相一致的氣候和地質環境。該礦山車道以及電力設施的基礎設施位於靠近JD項目邊界的區域。
The JD Project is in a favourable geological environment characterized by both high-grade epithermal gold and silver mineralization, as well as porphyry-related copper and gold mineralization. Some historical exploration, including drilling, geochemistry and geophysics, has been carried out on the property, however the project area is largely underexplored.
*歷史:鑽探孔39個,總長度4,376米;180件碎片取樣;985個傾斜電阻率線;36個磁力異常線。該數據已提交至規劃局,但尚未進入公告中。
