With the price of gold continuing to cascade to new heights, miners are also being rewarded that impress their shareholders. Today, one such miner put out major news regarding impressive drill results, sending their shares substantially higher.

Sun Summit Minerals Corp. (TSX-Venture: SMN) (OTCQB: SMREF) made waves this morning as the miner announced strong drill results from its first 2025 hole at the JD Project in the Toodoggone Mining District of north-central British Columbia. Hole CZ-25-007 returned 78.0 meters grading 3.72 g/t gold starting at just 30.0 meters depth, marking one of the best intervals of consistent near-surface gold mineralization drilled at the Creek Zone to date. The hole tested an un-drilled area north of the Creek Zone and suggests a parallel trend of mineralization that remains open to the northwest, with follow-up drilling planned this season.

The interval included standout high-grade sections such as 12.0 meters of 8.55 g/t gold and 19.1 meters of 7.50 g/t gold. Within the broader zone, multiple high-grade veins were encountered, with assays up to 98.80 g/t gold over 0.5 meters and visible gold observed in core samples. According to the company, the results confirm the strong gold potential at the Creek Zone and further highlight the opportunity for expansion and discovery of new high-grade zones at the JD Project.

"The first hole of this year's drill program at our JD Project in the significant Toodoggone District, represents the best hole drilled to date at the Creek Zone," said Niel Marotta, CEO of Sun Summit Minerals. "The hole intersected significant mineralization from 30 meters downhole. This interval is punctuated with multiple high-grade zones which supports the high-grade gold potential of the Creek Zone, typical of many Toodoggone gold deposits. We have planned additional holes to test the strike extent of this new zone of mineralization and are excited to move the drill rig back to the area in the coming weeks."

Shares of SMN are surging 46.43% to $0.205, while U.S. listed shares (SMREF) are rallying 49.16% to $0.1514 in mid-morning trading.
