Sokoman Drilling Resumes at Western Trend, Moosehead Project, Central Newfoundland
Sokoman Minerals has resumed diamond drilling at the Western Trend gold zone of its Moosehead Project in Central Newfoundland. The program follows up on recently announced high-grade results, including intersections of 69.48 g/t Au over 4.85 m, 40.89 g/t Au over 4.30 m, and 26.72 g/t Au over 3.10 m from the trench area.
The drilling targets a high-grade shoot dipping East and down-plunge, with plans to extend it to depth and to the south. The Western Trend has been tested across 100m of strike to 165m down plunge and remains open. A conventional bulk sample extraction is planned for late Q1 or early Q2 2025, with discussions ongoing for offsite processing.
The company expects to receive final assays from pre-Christmas drilling shortly, with several holes noted to contain visible gold in quartz.
Sokoman Minerals ha ripreso i lavori di perforazione a diamante nella zona aurifera Western Trend del suo progetto Moosehead nel centro di Terranova. Il programma segue risultati recentemente annunciati di alta qualità, inclusi incroci di 69,48 g/t Au su 4,85 m, 40,89 g/t Au su 4,30 m e 26,72 g/t Au su 3,10 m dall'area delle trincee.
La perforazione mira a un'area ad alta concentrazione che scende verso est e in profondità, con piani per estenderne la profondità e verso sud. Il Western Trend è stato testato su 100 m di lunghezza fino a 165 m in profondità ed è ancora aperto. È in programma un'estrazione convenzionale di campioni di massa per la fine del primo trimestre o l'inizio del secondo trimestre 2025, con discussioni in corso per il trattamento off-site.
La società si aspetta di ricevere presto i risultati finali delle analisi dalla perforazione pre-natalizia, con diversi fori notati per contenere oro visibile nel quarzo.

El programa sigue los resultados de alta ley recientemente anunciados, incluidos intersecciones de 69.48 g/t Au sobre 4.85 m, 40.89 g/t Au sobre 4.30 m y 26.72 g/t Au sobre 3.10 m del área de trincheras.
La perforación tiene como objetivo una zona de alta ley que se inclina hacia el este y hacia abajo, con planes de extenderla a mayor profundidad y al sur. El Western Trend se ha probado a lo largo de 100 m de extensión hasta 165 m en profundidad y sigue abierto. Se planea una extracción de muestra a granel convencional para finales del primer trimestre o principios del segundo trimestre de 2025, con discusiones en curso para el procesamiento fuera del sitio.
La empresa espera recibir pronto los ensayos finales de la perforación realizada antes de Navidad, con varios pozos que contienen oro visible en el cuarzo.

시추는 동쪽으로 경사지는 고순도 구역을 목표로 하며, 깊이와 남쪽으로 확장할 계획입니다. 웨스턴 트렌드는 100m의 범위에서 165m까지 시검사되었으며 여전히 열려 있습니다. 2025년 1분기 말 또는 2분기 초에 전통적인 대량 샘플 추출이 계획되어 있으며, 현장 밖 처리에 대한 논의가 진행 중입니다.
회사는 크리스마스 이전 시추에서 최종 분석 결과를 곧 받을 것으로 예상하고 있으며, 여러 구멍에서 석영 속에 가시적인 금이 발견된 것으로 보고되었습니다.

Sokoman Minerals hat die Diamantbohrungen in der Goldzone Western Trend seines Moosehead-Projekts im Zentrum von Neufundland wiederaufgenommen. Das Programm baut auf den kürzlich bekanntgegebenen hochgradigen Ergebnissen auf, zu denen Bohrungen mit 69,48 g/t Au über 4,85 m, 40,89 g/t Au über 4,30 m und 26,72 g/t Au über 3,10 m aus dem Grabenbereich gehören.
Die Bohrungen zielen auf eine hochgradige Zone, die nach Osten geneigt und absteigend verläuft, mit Plänen, sie in die Tiefe und nach Süden zu erweitern. Der Western Trend wurde über 100 m Streichen bis auf 165 m in die Tiefe getestet und bleibt offen. Eine konventionelle Entnahme von Großproben ist für Ende Q1 oder Anfang Q2 2025 geplant, während Gespräche über die Verarbeitung außerhalb des Standorts weiterhin laufen.
Das Unternehmen erwartet, in Kürze die endgültigen Analysen aus den Bohrungen vor Weihnachten zu erhalten, wobei mehrere Bohrlöcher sichtbares Gold im Quarz enthalten.

ST. JOHN'S, NL / ACCESS Newswire / January 30, 2025 / Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV:SIC)(OTCQB:SICNF) ("Sokoman" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that diamond drilling has resumed at the Western Trend gold zone, the site of the conventional bulk sample planned for extraction late in Q1 or early Q2, 2025. The drill program is following up on the recently announced high-grade results highlighted by intersections of 69.48 g/t Au over 4.85 m (MH-24-649), 40.89 g/t Au over 4.30 m (MH-24-648) and 26.72 g/t Au over 3.10 m (MH-24-646) (please see January 22, 2025 news release here), from the trench area.
The plan and long section show the previous drilling on the Western Trend and the location of the planned drill holes. A high-grade shoot dipping East and down-plunge is outlined in the accompanying long section with the proposed drilling designed to extend it to depth and to the south.
Timothy Froude, P.Geo., President and CEO, states, "We are very pleased to announce the resumption of drilling at the Western Trend and are confident that additional high-grade values will be found in the holes yet to report, as well as in the planned 2025 program. The information from the drilling will help in planning the location of the conventional bulk sample planned for late Q1 or early Q2, as soon as conditions allow. Discussions for processing the sample offsite are in progress. We are expecting the final batch of assays, from drilling prior to Christmas, shortly with several holes noted to have visible gold in quartz."
Drilling to date at the Western Trend has tested 100 m of the strike to 165 m down plunge with the zone remaining open. The deeper holes are targeting the potential high-grade plunge of the intersection point between the east-west trending splay and the main north-trending vein system.
