📸 The 2026 Field Season at the JD Project is Getting Underway

Camp is set up, the first of two drills has arrived on site, and the core yard is being prepared for what will be the largest drill program in Sun Summit’s history.

With 10,000 metres planned across the Creek and Finn zones, drilling is set to begin imminently as we advance the JD Project toward an inaugural Mineral Resource Estimate targeted for Q1 2027.

Stay tuned — it’s going to be an exciting summer in BC’s Toodoggone District.

📢 NEWS | Sun Summit Outlines 2026 Exploration Program at the Theory Copper-Gold Project — Toodoggone District, BC

Sun Summit Minerals Corp. has released details of its upcoming 2026 exploration program at the Theory Copper-Gold Project, building on encouraging results from the 2025 reconnaissance season.

The program is focused on advancing Theory toward drill-ready status for 2027, with a priority focus on the BEV to Saboteur trend — a 3 km zone of strong copper mineralization that returned a mean of 1.45% Cu in 2025 sampling.

The 2026 program includes:

⛏️ Airborne MobileMT geophysical survey — project-wide survey planned for early June, imaging subsurface resistivity to a depth of 1–2 km across both the Theory and JD properties

⛏️ Geological mapping, prospecting, and geochemical sampling — approximately 30 days of fieldwork targeting priority zones

⛏️ Ground IP surveys — up to 22 line-km of induced polarization surveys on the most promising targets

"Our second season at Theory is focused on prioritizing the strongest targets ahead of planned drill testing in 2027." — Niel Marotta, CEO, Sun Summit Minerals

📢 ICYMI 📰 | NEWS | Sun Summit Acquired 51% Interest in the New Orbit Project — Toodoggone District, BC

Last week, Sun Summit announced the acquisition of a 51% interest in the newly staked Orbit Project, jointly held with Eagle Plains Resources — adding 6,595 hectares and expanding our Toodoggone land position to over 31,500 hectares.

As shown on the map, the Orbit Project sits approximately 18 km north of the flagship JD Project and east of the Theory Project — strengthening Sun Summit's district-scale presence in one of BC's most active exploration districts.

Early reconnaissance sampling returned encouraging results including 3.8 g/t Au and 130 g/t Ag from quartz veining, and 0.964% Cu and 0.78 g/t Au from semi-massive chalcopyrite and bornite. A 2026 exploration program is being planned to follow up on these results.

📢 NEWS: Sun Summit Acquires 51% Interest in the New Orbit Project — Toodoggone District, BC

Sun Summit Minerals Corp. has acquired a 51% ownership interest in the new Orbit Project in the Toodoggone Mining District — approximately 18 km north of the flagship JD Project and east of the Theory Project.

The Orbit Project covers 6,595 hectares and is jointly held with exploration partner Eagle Plains Resources, who has been named operator. The acquisition expands Sun Summit's Toodoggone land position to over 31,500 hectares.

Initial reconnaissance sampling in 2025 returned encouraging results, including:
• 3.8 g/t gold, 130 g/t silver from quartz veining in granodiorite
• 1.37 g/t gold, 0.478% copper, 26.9 g/t silver from altered intrusive with chalcopyrite and bornite
• 0.964% copper, 0.78 g/t gold from silicified intrusive with semi-massive chalcopyrite and bornite

The claim area was identified through advanced remote sensing interpretation covering a large footprint of the Toodoggone District. Planning is underway for a 2026 exploration program to follow up on these early-stage results.

"The Orbit mineral claims and our agreement with Eagle Plains further strengthen Sun Summit's foothold in the Toodoggone Mining District." — Niel Marotta, CEO, Sun Summit Minerals

📰 NEWS: Sun Summit Minerals Files NI 43-101 Technical Report on the JD Project

Sun Summit Minerals Corp. has filed a NI 43-101 Technical Report on its flagship JD Project, located in the Toodoggone Mining District, British Columbia.

"The Technical Report showcases the extensive geological modelling and compilation work that the Company has done over the past three years. The spatial distribution of the mineral zonation, and various styles of mineralization, suggest the current drilling represents potentially a much larger system at both the Creek and Finn zones. These zones are open at depth and along strike and indicate potential to significantly expand the project mineralized footprint. We look forward to announcing positive metallurgical results in the next quarter of 2026 and results from the inaugural mineral resource estimate expected in Q1 of 2027."
