Sun Summit outlines 8.5-kilometre anomaly at JD

Executive Summary

• Sun Summit Minerals released results of a new 31‑km induced polarization survey that defines an 8.5 km‑long, high‑chargeability anomaly across the JD porphyry trend in the Toodoggone district.
• Only 850 m of this anomaly has been drill‑tested to date (five historic holes from 2013 and 2018), all intersecting porphyry‑related alteration and mineralization, indicating a large, largely untested target for copper‑gold exploration.
• Follow‑up work—including additional IP lines, soil surveys, geological mapping, and prospecting—is underway to refine drill targets along the McClair Creek alteration zone.

Key Details

• Survey Scope: Over 31 line kilometres across eight NE–SW oriented lines; line spacing 500–1,200 m.
• Anomaly Dimensions: ~8.5 km (length) × ~2 km (width); chargeability values >18 mV/V, increasing to >40 mV/V at depth near Fericrete and Oxide Peak targets.
• Historical Drill Intersections: Five widely spaced holes (2013 & 2018) intersected porphyry‑related alteration/mineralization; no other portions of the anomaly have been drill‑tested.
• Geophysical Correlation: Anomaly coincides with strong magnetic highs and a resistivity‑high zone near the Belle South target.
• Next Exploration Steps:
• Additional closely spaced IP surveying to infill lines and extend north/south.
• Compilation and interpretation of recent soil survey data for drill target refinement.
• Ongoing geological mapping and prospecting along McClair Creek alteration zone.
• NI 43‑101 Disclosure: Release reviewed and approved by VP Exploration, Ken MacDonald, P.Geo., a qualified person under NI 43‑101.
• Community Engagement: Continued discussions with local First Nations regarding interests, contracts, work opportunities, and community initiatives.

Notable Quotes

“We have now defined a broad, 8.5‑kilometre‑long chargeability‑high anomaly at JD, significantly enhancing the project's copper‑gold porphyry potential… The vast majority of this large‑scale anomaly remains untested and represents a high‑priority area for further target definition and exploration.” – Niel Marotta, CEO, Sun Summit Minerals.
