Sokoman Minerals Completes Drill Program at Clarks Brook
Samples Submitted for Rush Assaying
St. John’s, NL, September 11, 2019 – Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSX -V: SIC) (OTCQB: SICNF) (the
“Company” or “Sokoman”) today announced that the drill program on the Clarks Brook property has
been completed and rush assays are underway. The program comprised 1,200 m etres in three holes
testing the mineralized corridor below the shallow gold zone discovery announced on Dece mber 21,
2017. The property is located 33 km to the south-east of Sokoman’s flagship Moosehead gold project
and is optioned from Metals Creek Resources (MEK: TSX.V).
Tim Froude, President and CEO , commented: “The Clarks Brook property is subject to an option
agreement with Metals Creek calling for an exploration program costing $300,000 this year with a
completion date of September 22, 2019, including a 30 -day extension due to an unexpected delay of
two and a half months caused by new Department of Environment r egulations. A total of 377 samples
(including blanks, standards and duplicates) were submitted for rush assaying , with results expected in
approximately 2 weeks. The drilling intersected multiple mineraliz ed zones up to 26 metres thick (core
length), at depths to 400 metres vertical , consisting of chalcedonic quartz veining with 1 -5%
disseminated sulphides, resembling mineralized zones encoun tered in the previous 2017 drill program.
Once the core samples are analyzed and interpreted and the option agreement satisfied, our priority will
return to the Moosehead property.”
Moosehead Property Update
At the 100%-owned Moosehead gold property, 14 drill holes ( 3,200 m) have been drilled this summer
with drilling focused on the extension of the mineralized shear zone to the south and north. A program
of deep testing the roots of the shear zone will be proposed following the completion of a detailed
review of the Eastern Trend , including a fol low-up structural interpretation by Earth Tectonics Limited ,
once Phase 4 has been completed.
The Phase 4 drill program at Moosehead is a minimum of 4,000 m budgeted at $750,000. The first assay
results from the project will be released in the next few weeks.
QA/QC
The core sampling protocol includes both lab and industry approved standards as well as duplicate
assaying procedures. Sample lengths for both programs range from a maximum of 1. 5 metres to a
minimum of 0.05 metres with an average of approximately 0.75 metres. Analysis for gold by fire assay
with AA finish is being completed at Eastern Analytical Limited , a nationally accredited lab in Springdale,
NL.
