Sokoman Resumes Diamond Drilling at the Moosehead Gold Project, Central Newfoundland
Emphasis on Emerging 552 Zone
ST. JOHN'S, NL / ACCESSWIRE / February 14, 2024 / Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV:SIC)(OTCQB:SICNF) ("Sokoman" or the "Company") is pleased to report that the winter diamond-drilling program has begun, with a focus on extending the recently discovered 552 Zone, 400 m to the east of the main Eastern Trend. The 2,500-metre program will test a 150-metre strike length of the zone to a depth of approximately 125 metres, and will take six to eight weeks to complete. Drilling to date on the 552 Zone has defined a two- to five-metre wide zone of quartz veining and quartz breccia carrying fine free gold, sphalerite, and boulangerite. The best grade was intersected in hole MH-23-574, which returned 5.00 g/t gold over a 2.10 metre core length.
Timothy Froude, P.Geo., President and CEO states: "We are eager to get started on extending the new 552 Zone to depth and along strike. The 552 Zone is extremely important since it represents a new gold-bearing structure on the property. We are confident that the 552 Zone has the potential to host sections of significantly higher grades. Three of the five most recent drill holes carried visible gold within 50 m of the surface. It is very encouraging to see so many similarities with our other high-grade zones."
