Active mining projects and exploration sites
Gold exploration and development project
The 100% owned Buck Project is located in a historic mining district near Houston, B.C., with excellent infrastructure that supports cost-effective, year-round exploration. Situated 10 km south of Houston and 60 km southeast of Smithers Airport, it is ideally positioned near the past-producing Equity Silver Mine (Newmont) and the Huckleberry Copper Mine (Imperial Metals). Since 2020, Sun Summit Minerals has focused on exploring the lateral and vertical extent of epithermal-related gold-silver-zinc mineralization at Buck Main. Over 34,500 metres of drilling across 98 diamond drill holes have confirmed a robust near-surface mineralized footprint that spans more than 1.1 km in strike length and 700 m in width, with recent drilling indicating significant expansion potential.
The JD Project is located in the Toodoggone mining district in north-central British Columbia, a highly prospective deposit-rich mineral trend with a rich exploration and mining history dating back to the gold rush of the 1930’s. The earliest history of mining in the Toodoggone district of B.C. began with placer mining in 1930 on McClair Creek and the Toodoggone River which today make up part of the larger JD Property. The project covers an area of over 15,000 hectares and is in close proximity to active exploration and development projects, such as Thesis Gold’s Lawyers and Ranch projects, TDG Gold’s Baker-Shasta projects, Amarc Resource’s AuRORA project, Centerra’s Gold’s Kemess East and Underground projects, as well as the past-producing Kemess South open pit copper-gold mine which operated from 1998 to 2013.
