Sokoman Minerals Expands 552 Zone at Moosehead Gold Project, Central Newfoundland
First significant gold occurrence in volcanic rocks
火山岩中首次出现重大金矿
ST.JOHN'S, NL / ACCESSWIRE / March 28, 2024 / Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV:SIC)(OTCQB:SICNF) ("Sokoman" or the "Company") is pleased to report total pulp metallics assay results from the first three holes completed as part of the current drilling program at the 552 Zone. A total of 1825 m has been completed in the current program to date (12 holes) and visible gold has been intersected in five of the holes. Approximately 300 m of drilling remains in the current program including 150 m proposed in three holes in the upper portion of the Footwall Splay where gaps exist in the current geological model linking the zone to surface. The Footwall Splay has returned some of the highest grades on the Moosehead property including MH-20-115 (4.60 m grading 47.20 g/t Au from 64.0 m downhole), and MH-21-163 (5.10 m grading 30.83 g/t Au from 45.0 m downhole).
荷兰圣约翰/ACCESSWIRE/2024年3月28日/索科曼矿业公司(多伦多证券交易所股票代码:SIC)(OTCQB: SICNF)(“Sokoman” 或 “公司”)欣然报告作为当前552区钻探计划的一部分完成的前三个钻孔的总纸浆金属化合物分析结果。到目前为止,目前的项目总共完成了1825米(12个洞),其中五个洞中已经有可见的金相交。目前的计划中仍有大约 300 米的钻探,包括在 Footwall Splay 上部的三个洞中提议的 150 米钻孔,目前连接该区域与地表的地质模型中存在缺口。Footwall Splay已返回了Moosehead地产的一些最高等级,包括 MH-20-115(从井下64.0米处开采4.60米金品位为47.20 g/t Au)和 MH-21-163(井下45.0米处的5.10米金品位为30.83 g/t Au)。
The three holes being reported today (MH-24-578 to 580), all drilled on the same section (same setup) encountered the 552 structure with the deepest hole, MH-24-580, cutting a 2.05 m zone at 53.70 m downhole that included two 0.30 to 0.50 m intervals with up to 30 specks of fine (sub-millimetre) visible gold. The intersection is highlighted by a 1.65 m interval averaging 10.21 g/t Au, including a 0.50 m section grading 27.78 g/t Au.
今天报告的三个洞(MH-24-578 至 580)均在同一部分(相同的设置)上钻探了 552 结构,其中最深的钻孔是 MH-24-580,在井下 53.70 米处开出了 2.05 米的区域,包括两个 0.30 到 0.50 米的间隔,最多有 30 个精细(亚毫米)可见金斑点。交叉点以平均金值为10.21克/吨的1.65米间隔来突出显示,其中包括一个0.50米的部分,金品位为27.78 g/t。
Drilling Highlights from 552 Zone
Note: reported thicknesses are believed to be 90% of true thickness
552 区域的钻探亮点
注意:报告的厚度被认为是真实厚度的90%
- MH-24-578 0.68 g/t Au over 0.85 m from 40.60 m downhole
- MH-24-579 3.07 g/t Au over 1.25 m from 40.85 m downhole
- MH-24-580 8.31 g/t Au over 2.05 m including; 10.21 g/t Au over 1.65 m, including 27.79 g/t Au over 0.50 m from 53.70 m downhole
- MH-24-578 0.68 g/t Au 从井下 40.60 米处钻出 0.85 米以上
- MH-24-579 3.07 g/t Au 距离井下 40.85 m 以上 1.25 m
- MH-24-580 超过 2.05 m 的 8.31 g/t Au 包括;超过 1.65 m 的 10.21 g/t Au,包括井下 53.70 m 处超过 0.50 m 的 27.79 g/t Au
The three-hole section lies 30 m west of the previously reported MH-23-574 (see February 14, 2024 news release) that cut 2.10 m of 5.0 g/t Au with 12 specks of sub-millimetre visible gold noted. The current diamond drilling program (minimum 2000 m of HQ-size drill core) will focus on testing at least 150 m of strike and 125 m of depth (vertically) of the 552 Zone. Drilling to date at 552 has defined a continuous, roughly east-west trending, two- to five-metre-wide zone of locally vuggy (epizonal), quartz veining/quartz breccia, locally with 2%-3% disseminated sphalerite, boulangerite and chalcopyrite, in variably sheared to locally undeformed sedimentary units approximately 400 m east of the main Eastern Trend mineralization and 100 m southeast of the 253 Zone.
三孔部分位于先前报道的 MH-23-574(见 2024 年 2 月 14 日新闻稿)以西 30 米处,该钻探开了 2.10 米的 5.0 克/吨金,并发现了 12 个亚毫米可见的金斑点。当前的金刚石钻探计划(至少2000米总部大小的钻芯)将重点测试552区域的至少150米的走向和125米的深度(垂直)。迄今为止,在552处的钻探已经确定了一个连续的、大致从东西向走向、宽两到五米的局部凹陷(地带)石英脉/石英角砾岩带,局部有 2%-3% 的浸染闪锌矿、海泡石和黄铜矿,可变剪切成局部未变形的沉积单元,位于东部趋势主要矿化区以东约400米和东南100米处 253 区域。
Timothy Froude, P. Geo., President and CEO states; "This is the first significant occurrence of gold in volcanic rocks we have seen on the property and will be targeted aggressively. We are pleased to see grades continuing to improve within the 552 Zone and that the Zone remains open in all directions. Of note is that at the expected depth of 58.0 m, MH-24-588 intersected a 1.3 m vein with 3 flecks of visible gold. It occurs at the contact between deformed mafic volcanics and sandstone. Previous intersections in the 552 Zone occur proximal to mafic dykes but not at the mafic volcanic contact. Its orientation is similar to that of the other 552 Zone intersections and its mineralogy of darker-brown sphalerite and elevated arsenopyrite also supports this conclusion. Given this development, MH-24-588 was deepened through the deformed mafic volcanics and intersected a 0.90 m vein at 102.20 m with up to 14 flecks of visible gold with sphalerite and arsenopyrite. The initial orientation data and mineralogy support it being related to the 552 Zone."
P.Geo. 总裁兼首席执行官蒂莫西·弗劳德表示:“这是我们在该物业上看到的火山岩中首次出现大量金矿,并将成为积极的攻击目标。我们很高兴看到552区域内的成绩持续提高,并且该区域仍然向各个方向开放。值得注意的是,在预期的 58.0 米深处,MH-24-588 与一条 1.3 米的矿脉相交,上面有 3 个可见的金斑点。它发生在变形的铁质火山岩和砂岩的接触处。552 区域以前的交叉路口发生在镁铁质岩脉附近,但不发生在镁铁质火山接触处。它的取向与其他 552 个区域交叉点的方向相似,其深棕色闪锌矿和高位亚硫铁矿的矿物学也支持这一结论。鉴于这一发展,MH-24-588 在变形的镁质火山岩中加深,在 102.20 米处与 0.90 米的矿脉相交,有多达 14 个可见的金斑点,上面有闪锌矿和砷铁矿。最初的定向数据和矿物学支持它与552区有关。”

About Sokoman Minerals Corp.
关于索科曼矿业公司
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 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 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, more than 150,000 hectares (>6,000 claims - 1,500 sq. km), making it one of the largest landholders in Newfoundland, in Canada's newest and rapidly emerging gold districts.
Sokoman Minerals Corp. 是一家以发现为导向的公司,其项目位于加拿大纽芬兰省和拉布拉多省。该公司的主要重点是其黄金项目组合;位于纽芬兰中部金带沿线的100%旗舰项目、处于后期阶段的Moosehead和Crippleback Lake;以及位于纽芬兰西北部贝尔特湾附近的地区规模的Fleur de Lys项目,目标是类似于Curraghinalt的达尔拉迪安型造山金矿化以及北爱尔兰的卡瓦纳卡矿床。该公司通过包括纽芬兰的格雷河、金希望和凯彭凯克在内的三处大型合资物业与本顿资源公司建立了战略联盟。Sokoman现在独立或通过本顿联盟控制着超过15万公顷(超过6,000份索赔——1,500平方千米),使其成为加拿大最新和快速崛起的黄金区纽芬兰最大的土地所有者之一。
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 Benton 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.
2023年10月,Sokoman和Benton与皮埃蒙特锂业公司完成了一项协议。皮埃蒙特锂业公司是美国锂项目和加工厂的主要开发商,也是推进锂项目的恰当合作伙伴。该协议规定,通过资助高达1200万美元的勘探费用和分三个阶段发行1000万美元的普通股,皮埃蒙特将获得高达62.5%的基利克锂项目(前身为金希望项目)的62.5%的股份。基利克锂项目已移交给基利克锂业公司(Killick),该公司是Vinland Lithium Inc.(Vinland)100%控股的子公司。新成立的Vinland已从皮埃蒙特获得了200万美元的融资,权益为19.9%,所有权余额由Sokoman和Benton组成。索科曼和本顿将继续在基利克进行勘探工作,直到盈利阶段。索科曼和本顿将在未来的生产中保留2%的NSR的特许权使用费。Piedmont将拥有在矿山寿命基础上推广和销售该项目生产的任何锂产品的独家营销权,并对锂浓缩物的100%承购权拥有优先拒绝权。
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.
该公司还保留了纽芬兰早期锑/黄金项目(Startrek)1%的NSR权益,该项目由Thunder Gold Corp(前身为白金属资源公司)选择,在拉布拉多,该公司在具有直接运输矿石(DSO)潜力的铁马(Fe)项目中拥有100%的权益。
Mineralization hosted on adjacent and/or nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization hosted on the Company's property.
邻近和/或附近物业上存在的矿化并不一定表示公司财产上存在的矿化现象。
The Company would like to thank the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador for past financial support of the Moosehead and Fleur de Lys gold projects through the Junior Exploration Assistance Program.
