- Sun Summit Minerals (OTCQB: SMREF) has initiated a $6 million exploration program at the JD Project in British Columbia's Toodoggone Mining District.
- Plans include over 5,000 meters of drilling, targeting high-grade gold at both the Creek Zone and Finn Zone.
- The program includes significant historical drilling results, such as 122.53 meters of 2.11 g/t Au at the Creek Zone.
Sun Summit Minerals (OTCQB: SMREF) has officially commenced its fully funded exploration program at the JD Project located in the Toodoggone Mining District of British Columbia. The extensive $6 million initiative aims to strategically drill over 5,000 meters across various zones within the district, focusing on areas with high-grade gold potential.
The drilling plan dedicates up to 3,000 meters to the Creek Zone and 2,000 meters to the Finn Zone. These zones have shown promising results from previous drilling activities, with notable intercepts including 122.53 meters of 2.11 g/t Au at the Creek Zone and 35.7 meters of 7.26 g/t Au at the Finn Zone. The program targets both high-grade and bulk-tonnage gold mineralization to enhance understanding of the area's mineral potential.
In addition to drilling, over 20-line kilometers of induced polarization geophysics have been completed, along with the collection of over 1,000 soil samples. These efforts are part of a comprehensive approach to refine drill targets and expand exploration efforts across the JD Project, a property spanning over 15,000 hectares.
Drilling and complementary exploration activities are scheduled to continue until September 2025, with expected incremental updates as the project progresses. The JD Project is located within an area known for its favorable geological environment, containing both epithermal gold-silver and porphyry-related copper-gold mineralization.
