(TSXV: SMN) (OTCQB: SMREF) ("Sun Summit" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced brokered private placement for gross proceeds of C$ 4,000,000 (the "Offering"). Due to strong demand, the co-lead agents and joint bookrunners, Red Cloud Securities Inc. and Eventus Capital Corp. (collectively, the "Agents"), fully exercised their option to increase the total gross proceeds of the Offering to C$5,000,000.

Each FT Unit and Charity FT Unit consisted of one common share of the Company issued as a "flow-through share" under the Income Tax Act (Canada) (each, a "FT Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant, Each whole warrant (a "Warrant") entitles the holder to purchase one (non-flow-through) common share of the Company (each, a "Warrant Share") at a price of C$0.90 until July 31, 2023.
