Sun Summit Drills 78.0 Meters of 3.72 g/t Gold Including 19.1 Meters of 7.50 g/t Gold at the JD Project, Toodoggone District, B.C.
Executive Summary
- Sun Summit reported a high‑grade, near‑surface gold intercept from its first 2025 drill hole (CZ‑25‑007) at the Creek Zone: 78 m @ 3.72 g/t Au starting at 30 m depth.
- The interval includes multiple ultra‑high‑grade veins (up to 98.8 g/t Au over 0.5 m) and represents a newly discovered parallel mineralized trend north of previously drilled zones.
- Follow‑up step‑out drilling is planned this season to test the strike‑ and dip‑extent of the new zone; assays from ten additional holes (3,340 m) are pending.
Key Details
- Hole CZ‑25‑007 results – 78.0 m @ 3.72 g/t Au (30–108 m), including:
- 12.0 m @ 8.55 g/t Au (37–49 m)
- 1.0 m @ 31.84 g/t Au (37–38 m)
- 1.0 m @ 54.40 g/t Au (48–49 m)
- 19.1 m @ 7.50 g/t Au (59.9–79 m)
- 0.94 m @ 67.80 g/t Au (59.9–60.84 m)
-
0.5 m @ 98.80 g/t Au (78.5–79 m)
-
Additional intervals reported in the same hole: 9.2 m @ 0.30 g/t Au and 20.0 m @ 0.89 g/t Au further down‑hole.
-
Geological context: Intercepts occur in epithermal‑related quartz‑carbonate veins and sulfide‑cemented breccias within the McClair Member (Early Jurassic). Visible gold noted in several high‑grade intervals.
-
Drill program scope – To date, 3,700 m across 11 holes at Creek; step‑out holes designed to test a strike length >800 m and down‑dip extent >200 m.
-
Assay status: Results for the remaining ten holes (totaling 3,340 m) are pending and will be released when available.
-
QA/QC: 38 QA/QC samples (21 standards) representing 14.2 % of the sample stream; no significant issues identified.
-
Future work: Additional step‑out drilling planned this season to test northwest strike extension and down‑dip continuity of the newly identified zone.
Notable Quotes
“The first hole of this year’s drill program … represents the best hole drilled to date at the Creek Zone,” said Niel Marotta, CEO, emphasizing the significance of the high‑grade intervals and confirming plans for further drilling.
