Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 11, 2024) - Sun Summit Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SMN) (OTCQB: SMREF) (the "Company" or "Sun Summit") is pleased to announce that it intends to complete a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") consisting in the issuance of: (i) up to 6,666,666 flow-through units of the Company (each, a "FT Unit") at a price of $0.15 per FT Unit, and (ii) up to 16,666,666 non-flow-through units of the Company (each, a "NFT Unit") at a price of $0.12 per NFT Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of up to $3,000,000. Each FT Unit will consist of one common share of the Company issued on a flow-through basis under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a "FT Warrant"). Each FT Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one non-flow-through common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.18 per share for a period for 12 months from the date of issuance of the FT Warrant. Each NFT Unit will consist of one non-flow-through common share of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a "NFT Warrant"). Each NFT Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one non-flow-through common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.15 per share for a period for 12 months from the date of issuance of the NFT Warrant.

The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Private Placement for exploration and development of the Company's mineral property interests in British Columbia, Canada, and for general working capital purposes. The gross proceeds from the issuance of all flow-through shares will be used to incur Canadian Exploration Expenses ("CEE"), and will qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" under the Income Tax Act (Canada), which will be renounced to the purchasers of flow-through shares with an effective date no later than December 31, 2024 in an aggregate amount no less than the proceeds raised from the issue of the flow-through shares.
