SMN Sun Summit Minerals Corp

San Marco (TSX VENTURE:SMN) is pleased to announce the appointment of Brent
Hendrickson as Vice President of Exploration.


Mr. Hendrickson's 25 year career as a mining exploration geologist began
subsequent to his graduation from South Dakota School of Mines with a M.Sc. in
Geology. His thesis fieldwork was done in Brazil at the Universidade Federal da
Bahia. He received his B.Sc. in Geology from the Institute of Technology at the
University of Minnesota.


Early in his career, Mr. Hendrickson worked on gold exploration projects in the
Black Hills, South Dakota for Cyprus, St. Joe Minerals and Noranda. He also
worked for E.K. Lehman and Associates and Amax Gold in Montana. Eventually, Mr.
Hendrickson was drawn to Nevada where he was engaged in gold exploration for
Battle Mountain Gold, U.S. Borax, and subsequently Kennecott. In 1990 Mr.
Hendrickson began working solely as a consultant geologist focused in Nevada,
Mexico, and Central America. During this period, Mr. Hendrickson became
proficient in digitally integrating exploration data using GIS as a key tool for
guiding his exploration. Over the next 10 years Mr. Hendrickson's clients
included Independence Mining (now AngloGold-Ashanti), Cyprus, Western Mining
Corp, Homestake Mining Company and MK Gold where projects were located in
Nevada, California, Arizona, Mexico, Honduras, Panama, Nicaragua, Colombia, and
Guyana.


Over the next few years his activities included assisting companies such as
Aurelian in Ecuador, (Fruta Del Norte) Hecla's exploration efforts in Venezuela,
Aquiline in Argentina, Absolut in Peru, and Northern Peru Copper in Peru.
Several of these companies achieved exploration success with discoveries of
significant ore deposits.


Mr. Hendrickson is fluent in Spanish and will be based in Guadalajara, Mexico,
where the majority of San Marco's activities currently exist.


Chairman Robert Willis commented; "Brent's experience in a great variety of
geological environments will certainly give San Marco shareholders an advantage
towards recognition of mineral properties that have potential for a major
discovery; his database is second to none. We welcome Brent to the San Marco
team and look forward to adding valuable assets to our mineral property
portfolio."
