Sojourn Finds Multi-Element Geochemical Anomalies Associated with Geophysical Targets at Oweegee Dome Project
Sojourn Finds Multi-Element Geochemical Anomalies
Associated with Geophysical Targets at Oweegee Dome
Project
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 7, 2017) - Sojourn Exploration Inc. (TSXV: SOJ) ("Sojourn" or the
"Company") today reports its 2017 first pass exploration program located multi-element stream sediment and/or soil anomalies
associated with several of the historic volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) and porphyry geophysical targets at its Oweegee
Dome Project ("Oweegee").
Oweegee is one of two key Golden Triangle properties the Company optioned from Millrock
Resources Inc. in August 2017 in conjunction with $1.1M financing and 1:3 share consolidation.
The 2017 Oweegee stream sediment and targeted soil sampling was Sojourn's first pass ground exploration program through
the bulk of the 312 square kilometer Oweegee property and has exceeded management expectations.
The stream sediments
and soils suggest the area underlying and/or draining three of the five VMS Airborne Versatile Time Domain Electro Magnetics
(VTEM) target zones are anomalous in Ag, Pb and Zn, while two of the thirteen VTEM survey porphyry target zones are
anomalous in Au and Cu. More importantly, this program also found multi-element stream sediment and soil anomalous in the
area hosting the Deltaic zone and its historic mineralization.
"We're very pleased with these initial results in this large and prospective property," stated Interim CEO Tim Henneberry. "We
expect the freshly exposed bedrock resulting from recent retreating glaciers and snowfields will greatly assist in 'ground truthing'
the key identified anomalies. We plan to aggressively follow up with ground prospecting and sampling programs in 2018 to
establish drill targets and feel this new program should provide some interesting times for Sojourn and its shareholders."
The 2017 Oweegee program consisted of stream sediment sampling at variable distances along the accessible drainages
throughout the property and targeted soil sampling over six of the key geophysical anomalies. A total of 464 stream sediment
sites were sampled and 324 soils were collected. Statistics for the sampling programs are as follows:

All samples were sent to the ALS Minerals Ltd. prep lab in Terrace for subsequent shipment and analysis at the ALS Minerals
Ltd. North Vancouver, BC laboratory, an 17025:2005 certified facility. All samples were collected by Equity Exploration
Consultants Ltd. personnel and securely stored until delivery to ALS Minerals Terrace. Equity implemented a QA/QC program
utilizing duplicate sampling and blanks at an average rate of one duplicate or blank per 15 samples. No QA/QC anomalies were
noted in the analyses.
Detailed stream sediment and soil plots for the first pass program, an Oweegee geological summary, and the recently
completed 43-101 report are also posted on the Oweegee page at:

.
The Oweegee property lies within the unconformable contact between the Triassic Stuhini group and the Jurassic Hazelton
group, a contact becoming increasing important as the key targeting feature for porphyry and related deposits within the Golden
Triangle. While the property has a long exploration history, the bulk of historic exploration has been focused on a confined area
in the south, the Deltaic Grid area and its porphyry mineralization where highlights from 8 drill holes include:
DDHDC07-03 -- 138.67 metres grading 0.189 g/t Au and 0.074 per cent Cu, including:
17.14 metres grading 0.468 g/t Au and 0.11 per cent Cu;
17.08 metres grading 0.140 g/t Au and 0.17 per cent Cu.
DDHDC96-02 -- 80.1 metres grading 0.248 g/t Au and 941 ppm Cu;
24.4 metres grading 0.262 g/t Au and 0.16 per cent Cu.
Five surface holes totalling 1,195.7 metres were completed by Viceroy Resource Corp. in 1996. The complete 1996 results
can be found in British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines Assessment report 24867. The three surface holes totalling
1,024.8 metres were completed in 2007 by Weekes Investment Group, a private corporation. The complete 2007 results can
be found in British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines Assessment report 30126.
Sojourn is earning a 100% interest, subject to underlying royalties in the Oweegee property by making share issuances of
2,300,000 common shares and completing $2,000,000 in exploration over the next three years.
