The Company will use an amount equal to the gross proceeds received by the Company from the
sale of the FT Units, pursuant to the provisions in the Income Tax Act (Canada), to incur eligible

of the FT Units effective December 31, 2023.

project, and the remaining balance on its flagship Moosehead gold project.

which entails diamond drilling on both the Moosehead and Fleur de Lys gold projects will be fully
funded. A warm thank you to all our shareholders and investors for their unwavering support.”
About Sokoman Minerals Corp.
Sokoman Minerals Corp. is a discovery -oriented company with projects in the province of
Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The Company's primary focus is its portfolio of gold
projects; the 100% flagship, advanced-stage Moosehead, as well as the Crippleback Lake; and East
Alder (optioned to Canterra Minerals Corporation) along the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt,
and the district-scale Fleur de Lys project near Baie Verte in northwestern Newfoundland, that is
targeting Dalradian-type orogenic gold mineralization similar to the Curraghinalt and Cavanacaw
deposits in Northern Ireland. The Company also recently entered into a strategic alliance with
Benton Resources Inc. through three, large -scale, joint-venture properties including Grey River,
Golden Hope, and Kepenkeck in Newfoundland. Sokoman now controls, independently and
through the Benton alliance, over 150,000 hectares (>6,000 claims – 1500 sq. km), making it one
of the largest landholders in Newfoundland, in Canada’s newest and rapidly emerging gold
districts.
In October 2023, Sokoman and Benton completed an agreement with Piedmont Lithium Inc., a
major developer of lithium projects and processing plants in the USA, and exactly the right partner
to have to advance the lithium project. The agreement provides for Piedmont to earn up to 62.5%
of the Killick Lithium Project (formerly Golden Hope project) by funding up to $12 million in
exploration expenses and issuing $10 million common shares in three stages. The Killick Lithium
Project has been transferred to Killick Lithium Inc. (Killick), a 100%-owned subsidiary of Vinland
Lithium Inc. (Vinland). Newly created Vinland has received $2 million in financing from
Piedmont for a 19.9% interest, with the balance of ownership between Sokoman and
Benton. Sokoman and Bento n will continue to operate the exploration efforts at Killick through
the earn -in stages. Sokoman and Benton will retain a royalty of 2% NSR on future
production. Piedmont will have exclusive marketing rights for the promotion and sale of any
lithium products produced from the Project on a life-of-mine basis, and the right of first refusal on
100% offtake rights to the lithium concentrates.
The Company also retains a 1% NSR interest in an early-stage antimony/gold project (Startrek) in
Newfoundland, optioned to Thunder Gold Corp (formerly White Metal Resources Inc.), and in
Labrador, the Company has a 100% interest in the Iron Horse (Fe) project which has Direct
Shipping Ore (DSO) potential.
Mineralization hosted on adjacent and/or nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of
mineralization hosted on the Company's property.
The Company would like to thank the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador for past
financial support of the Moosehead Project through the Junior Exploration Assistance Program.
