Metals Creek Resources Partner, Sokoman Minerals Commences Deep Testing at Clarks Brook
Metals Creek Resources Partner, Sokoman Minerals
Commences Deep Testing at Clarks Brook
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 20, 2019) - Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV: MEK) (Metals Creek or "the
company") is
pleased to announce that they have been advised by their option/joint venture partner, Sokoman Minerals Corp
(Sokoman) (TSXV: SIC) that diamond drilling operations are underway on the Clarks Brook property, 35 kilometres southeast of
Sokoman's Moosehead project in central Newfoundland.
The minimum 1200 metre program will further test the gold bearing,
epithermal style mineralized zone initially defined by Sokoman in 2017/18. The proposed program will consist of 3-4 strategically
placed holes designed to test for deeper, higher grade gold mineralization at what is commonly termed the boiling zone within a
classic epithermal gold system.
The boiling zone can occur at depths ranging from 200 - 400 metres but sometimes deeper
depending on specific deposit characteristics.
The mineralized zone is hosted in a well-defined, north-south trending magnetic low that locally appears folded. Gold
mineralization is contained within a locally brecciated, moderately to strongly silicified zone with abundant crosscutting gray,
vuggy quartz stringers with 1-3% disseminated pyrite, arsenopyrite and minor stibnite (antimony).
Occasional visible gold has
been noted in both drill core and in slabbed rock samples from the property and exhibits textures and mineralization consistent
with an epithermal style of gold mineralization in a trend subparallel to the Moosehead-Valentine Lake Trend. Numerous
historical gold showings that lie on trend from Clarks Brook have strong epithermal characteristics including jasperoid
development, silica sinters and pathfinder elements such as antimony and arsenic. The producing Beaver Brook antimony mine
lies 14 kilometres on trend to the southwest of Clarks Brook.
Alexander (Sandy) Stares states: "Metals Creek remains a strong supporter and shareholder of Sokoman and the agreement
remains a good fit for both companies. MEK will maintain an interest in the property thru the share issuance and either the 75/25
SIC/MEK JV or the NSR. We look forward to the results of this deep drilling program."
To earn an initial 75% interest in the Clark's Brook project, Sokoman must make cash payments of $45,000 over three years
and issue a total of 3,000,000 Sokoman common shares over three years and incur work expenditures of $800,000 over three
years. Sokoman will be the operator during the earn-in period. Once a 75% interest is earned by Sokoman, either a 75/25 joint
venture will be formed, or Sokoman may elect to earn an additional 25% interest to bring its total property interest to 100%. The
terms to increase its interest from 75% to 100% include payments of $100,000 and the issuance of an additional 2,000,000
Sokoman shares within 60 days of the 3rd anniversary date.
