Porphyry Copper-Gold ProjectsVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 2, 2018) - Sojourn Exploration Inc. (TSXV: SOJ) (OTC Pink: SJRNF) (\"Sojourn\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce preliminary results of reconnaissance geological mapping, geochemical sampling and geophysical surveys on four of its B.C. porphyry copper-gold projects, including the Todd Creek and Oweegee Dome projects in B.C.'s prolific Golden Triangle. Results include: A significant chargeability anomaly has been outlined underlying the Yellow Bowl Zone at Todd Creek, a three kilometer long corridor of gossans, altered volcanic and porphyritic intrusive rocks, and copper-gold occurrences which have never been tested by drilling.Multiple new chalcopyrite occurrences in porphyry and breccia were discovered by prospecting at Oweegee Dome, extending the footprint of the Delta porphyry target up to 1.7 km beyond the area of historical drilling.Outcropping porphyry copper-gold mineralization has been recognized at the Oxide Peak project, an undrilled grass roots project 55 km north of Centerra Gold Inc.'s Kemess camp in the Toodoggone porphyry-epithermal copper-gold district. Maps for the projects are included in the latest Sojourn technical presentation, which can be downloaded from the company website: www.sojournexploration.comTodd CreekA first phase six kilometer time domain induced polarization survey was conducted by Simcoe Geoscience on Sojourn's Todd Creek project, located about 40 km southeast of Seabridge Gold Inc.'s KSM porphyry copper-gold project. The survey indicates a significant chargeability anomaly underlies the Yellow Bowl zone, an approximately 3 km strike length corridor of strongly altered and variably Cu-Au mineralized intermediate volcanic rocks, porphyritic intrusions and associated breccias of likely Lower Jurassic age. Historical rock chip sampling of the Yellow Bowl zone includes Cu assays up to 6.7% and Au values up to 1.7 grams per tonne. These historical assays have not been verified by Sojourn. Fifty-two rock samples were collected across the Yellow Bowl target area during the 2018 reconnaissance program and focused on recently deglaciated exposures of chalcopyrite bearing hydrothermal breccias. The occurrences contain clasts of multi-brecciated...
