Commence Exploration At Kepenkeck Gold Property In Newfoundland
Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SIC) (OTCQB: SICNF) and Benton Resources Inc. have received exploration approval to complete an airborne survey, which will commence immediately, at the newly-acquired, joint Kepenkeck Gold Property in Newfoundland.
The companies have executed a contract with Terraquest Ltd to fly a detailed, 100
m-spaced, 1,600-line km Mag-VLF survey. The survey will be used to map lithological units, guide fieldwork and locate geological structures which control gold mineralisation. In addition, the companies have received the ground exploration permit, and personnel have begun the initial prospecting and mapping on the Property.
Benton and Sokoman anticipate these initial activities to generate gold targets for further exploration. Results will be released as they are received and compiled.
Sokoman Minerals Corp.’s primary focus is its portfolio of gold projects: Moosehead, Crippleback Lake (optioned to Trans Canada Gold Corp.) and East Alder (optioned to Canterra Minerals Corporation) along the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt, and the recently acquired district-scale Fleur de Lys project in northwestern Newfoundland, which is targeting Dalradian-type orogenic gold mineralisation similar to the Curraghinalt and Cavanacaw deposits in Northern Ireland, and Cononish in Scotland.
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) of land, making the Company one of the largest landholders in Newfoundland, Canada’s newest and rapidly emerging gold districts. The Company also retains an interest in an early-stage antimony/gold project (Startrek) in Newfoundland, optioned to White Metal Resources Inc., and in Labrador, the Company has a 100% interest in the Iron Horse (Fe) project that has Direct Shipping Ore (DSO) potential.
