Multiple New Drill Target Areas Identified
Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SIC) has identified 13 sites of anomalous gold grain counts from final till sampling results from the Moosehead Project in North Central Newfoundland. The gold grain counts range from 20 to 111 gold grains.

“The till results represent some very high priority targets which will be drill tested as part of this 10,000m programme,” President and CEO, Tim Froude, said.
“Multiple magnetic features, possibly representing structures, can be identified spatially associated with all of the till anomalies and could be potentially mineralised structures. Some of these features may require winter conditions to allow for effective testing. That will not be a problem as winter drilling is not an issue at Moosehead.
“We are pleased to see so many anomalous samples corresponding with potential structures as outlined in the winter magnetic survey and anticipate testing the highest priority areas that show both anomalous till results with associated structures.”
Anomalous sample sites at the Moosehead Property have been determined to be those with more than 20 gold grains, which is a minimum of 2 times background.
The corresponding calculated gold content for the same data set ranges from 831 ppb Au to 433,770 ppb Au.
The highest priority till targets are:
Till Anomaly A
Located immediately north and northwest of North Pond, a portion of this anomaly appears to represent the down ice dispersion from the Eastern and possibly the Western Trend mineralized zones. Additional drilling is required in this area as assumed glacial movements suggest that the known zones of mineralisation do not explain the distribution of anomalous till samples.
Calculated Au content for anomalous samples ranges from 831 ppb to 440,770 ppb Au and includes the highest gold grain count of 111 gold grains including 57 pristine grains. Portions of the anomaly remain untested by diamond drilling, specifically the eastern and western margins.
Till Anomaly D
This anomalous area is located immediately East of South Pond and not directly tested by diamond drilling. This anomaly contains the second highest calculated gold content of 78,229 ppb Au with gold grain counts up to 53 grains including 28 pristine grains.
This area lies 400m southeast (up-ice) from the high-grade float recently reported from South Pond including grab sample assays ranging from 0.32 to 157 g/t Au.
The company is currently in the midst of a planned 10,000m diamond drilling program with logging and sampling underway.
A total of 2,100m has been completed to date with four holes testing the Eastern Trend and three holes testing the Western Trend.
The company hopes to be in receipt of partial results from these holes in 3-4 weeks.
