Sokoman Iron Receives Revised Moosehead Modeling: Multiple Targets Proposed
SOKOMAN IRON RECEIVES REVISED MOOSEHEAD MODELING:
MULTIPLE TARGETS PROPOSED
Puslinch, ON, May 25, 2018 - Sokoman Iron Corp. (‘Sokoman‘ or ’the Company‘) (TSX-V: SIC) is
pleased to announce it has received from Minorex Consulting Limited (‘Minorex’) of Aldergrove, B.C.
an updated model of the gold-bearing mineralization within the Moosehead Project All historic drilling
(110 holes) has now been modelled, and this work has identified a number of targets that the company
will now test with a P hase I, 2,000-metre diamond drill ing program. A total of 20 holes have been
proposed of which 11 holes (1,310 m) are considered First Priority. The remaining 690 meters will be
distributed among the Second Priority and r econnaissance targets. The drilling program will focus on
three main target areas at Moosehead, specifically the Western and Eastern Trends (see attached plan
map), and the reconnaissance targets.
The program will start with verification and expansion of the near surface ( less than 50 m deep ) high
grade mineralization in the Western Trend, intersected in multiple historical holes including MH-01-13,
MH-01-23, etc. as tabled below*. The modeling also took into account the results of the 2016 structural
study completed at Moosehead which suggested that many of the previous drilling programs were not
oriented to optimally test the mineralization. The proposed holes in the Phase I program (except for the
deep target), will be oriented to test th e findings a nd recommendations of the structural study. The
distribution of the First Priority holes was also designed with consideration for any future resource
estimates that may be completed at Moosehead.
The second aspect to be tested will be the depth potential of the mineralization beneath the near surface
mineralization (between 50 and 1 50 m depth) , including the lone “deep” intercept in MH -03-15
(Eastern Trend) returning 2.35 m grading 53.36 g/t Au incl uding 0.45 m grading 277.96 g/t Au at a
down hole depth of 255.36 m.
The company also plans to test , with two to three reconnaissance holes, areas of anomalous soil
geochemistry (values ranging from less than detection to 79 ppb Au) and unsourced float ( sample
12159 that assayed 180 g/t Au) lying to the nor th and east of the main zone of mineralization and
believed to indicate a source(s) independent of the main zone. (Note: soil and rock sample values stated
are historical in nature and not verified by Sokoman Iron.)
Timothy Froude, P. Geo., Interim CEO st ates: “We are extremely pleased with the end results of the
modelling completed by Minorex. The work that Minorex has done clearly demonstrates potential for
success both in the near surface and deeper target areas. The Phase I program will be the first d iamond
drilling to be initiated at Moosehead since 2004. We are expecting permits within the coming weeks
with a view to commencing drilling in the latter part of May.”
The Moosehead project is host to widespread, orogenic lode gold mineralization that has been
intersected over a two km long by 500 m wide zone, locally with very high gold grades as shown
below.

*Note: Historical drill results reported in this release were from saw cut NQ sized drill core with
analysis carried out by either ALS Chemex in Vancouver, B.C., XRAL Laboratories in Don Mills, ON ,
or, Chimitec Laboratories in Val d’Or, QC. Vein material was analyzed by a 1000 gram metallic screen
preparation and fire assay analysis, with standard fire assay for the remaining samples. A 32 element
ICP scan was also completed on all samples. The work is historical in nature and non NI 43- 101
compliant and Sokoman has not yet independently verified the data. True width of selected intercepts
may vary between 30-100% of the reported interval.
The Moosehead property is strategically located in north- central Newfoundland with the TransCanada
Highway crossing the northern portion of the property, and Route 360 lying 1.2 kms northwest of most
previous drilling. The town of Grand Fal ls-Windsor lies 20 km west of the property, and the town of
Gander is located 75 km to the east. The deep -water port of Botwood lies 17 km north of the property .
In addition, secondary roads and drill trails offer excellent access to virtually the entire property.
Moosehead lies 33 km northwest of Sokoman’s Clarks Brook Gold project where assays from the
recently completed Phase II drilling program (594 m) successfully extended the known mineralized
trend and intersected a second, subparallel zone of gold mineralization (April 4, 2018 News Release).
On November 10, 2017, Altius Resources Inc. and Sokoman Iron Corp. entered into a definitive
agreement whereby Sokoman has the exclusive right to acquire a 100% interest (subject to an existing
0.5% NSR royal ty in Altius Resources Inc’s high- grade Moosehead Gold Project in central
Newfoundland (the ‘ Option’). On March 23, 2018, Sokoman announced that the TSX Venture
Exchange had accepted for filing all of the documents in regard to the Moosehead property trans action
as previously announced on November 9, 2017. Sokoman has also issued the share payment and related
warrant certificate to Altius Minerals Inc. ( ‘Altius’) consisting of 7,754,371 common shares and
1,428,571 share purchase warrants. Upon closing, Alti us will hold a total of 9,182,942 common shares
of Sokoman Iron Corp. which represents 19.9% of the outstanding shares of Sokoman at the time of the
closing of Sokoman’s November 2017 financing. The issued share purchase warrants have a strike price
of 5 cents good for three years after the date of the closing.
The gold mineralization was modelled by Douglas Blanchflower, P. Geo., a consulting geologist with
Minorex. Mr. Blanchflower has forty-seven years of applied mineral exploration experience includin g
the past thirty-six years with Minorex specializing in the exploration and development of bulk and lode
gold-silver, volcanogenic massive sulphide and porphyry-type mineral deposits.
