[{"type":"text","content":"Sokoman / Benton Intersect Gold in all Five Drill Holes over 5 km Strike Length Confirming Extensive Gold System at Grey RiverST. JOHN'S, NL / ACCESSWIRE / March 16, 2022 / Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV:SIC)(OTCQB:SICNF) (\"Sokoman\") and Benton Resources Inc. (TSXV:BEX) (\"Benton\") together (the \"Alliance\"), are pleased to announce the results from the maiden drill program at Grey River, Newfoundland. The Alliance reports that the drilling has returned multiple intersections in drill holes covering 5.0 kilometers of strike length and is open in all directions. The results are highlighted by GR-21-01, the easternmost hole drilled, that intersected three distinct gold zones including a high-grade interval of 10.58 g/t Au over 1.80 m including 50.13 g/t Au over 0.35 m.Program highlights include:DDH #Target From (m)To (m)Length m*Au (g/t) GR-21-01Historical Au - 0.25 g/t 33.4035.001.601.40 and45.3048.353.052.64 and74.5076.301.8010.58 incl74.5074.850.3550.13 GR-21-02Surface chip - 134 g/t Au 77.0077.700.702.04 and81.9084.002.100.80 and98.00105.407.401.14 incl101.00101.750.758.22 GR-21-03Historical Au - 3.80 g/tand124.00126.002.001.78 and164.00168.004.001.37 GR-21-04Surface grab - 0.80 g/t Au 115.50115.800.301.25 and128.10131.002.901.36 GR-21-05Test EM Anomaly 93.0099.406.400.29 incl95.9096.800.901.67* Core lengths - believed to be 90% of reported lengths. Grey River 2021 Drilling Program MapTimothy Froude, P. Geo., President and CEO of Sokoman states; \"The first drilling that tested the gold potential of this huge system has exceeded our expectations. It is hard to believe that the area has never been drilled for gold even though gold was first reported from the property in the 1980s. In addition to the assays in the table, broad zones of anomalous Au mineralization, from 5 to 250 ppb, were intersected in all holes. More exploration is required to understand the controls on the gold mineralization particularly the high-grade zones which are found in two areas on the property over four kilometers apart. The highest-grade results are from the easternmost hole (GR-21-01) and all the mineralized zones are open in every direction.\"Stephen Stares, President and CEO of Benton states; \"It is important for shareholders to understand the scale and potential of this project. We've essentially tested random areas of a huge silica zone to s...
