Niel Marotta, CEO of Sun Summit Minerals, outlines the company’s aggressive growth strategy following the recent $10.1 million financing to advance its flagship JD Project in British Columbia’s highly active Tutagon district.
With over 5,000 meters of drilling planned for the 2025 season, the company aims to expand strike length and depth, pushing toward a potential multi-million-ounce gold deposit. JD and adjoining properties span over 25,000 hectares, making it a significant land package in a hotbed of exploration and acquisition activity.
Marotta highlights strong First Nations engagement, a renewed focus on organic growth, and a firm commitment to delivering major exploration catalysts in 2025. With a market cap just above $20M, he sees major upside potential tied to upcoming results.
Having only joined Sun Summit in January, Marotta brings a fresh strategic vision to an underexplored asset with outsized potential.
