[{"type":"text","content":"ST. JOHN’S, Newfoundland and Labrador / Jun 03, 2021 / Business Wire / Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV:SIC) (OTCQB:SICNF) (the “Company” or “Sokoman”) is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into an option agreement with Trans Canada Gold Corp. (TSXV:TTG) (“Trans Canada”), whereby Trans Canada can earn a 100% interest in the 121 claim (3,025 ha or 7,475 acres) Crippleback Lake Gold property (the “Property”), subject to a 1% net smelter returns royalty (“NSR”), by issuing a total of 1,250,000 shares of the company to Sokoman as well as cash and work commitments totaling $600,000 over a 4-year period. The Property is located in proximity to the Trans-Canada Highway in north-central Newfoundland, is easily accessible by a network of secondary logging roads and is only a short drive away from assaying and diamond drilling services in Springdale.

Historically, the area has attracted explorers for the renowned base-metal potential of Central Newfoundland. Today, however, the focus has shifted in a monumental way to the gold potential of the region, and Crippleback is exquisitely positioned in one of Canada’s hottest exploration camps and shares many of the attributes of the advanced stage Valentine Lake Project (Marathon Gold) including the crucial structural corridor (Rogerson Lake Conglomerate), as well as the presence of the Crippleback Lake Quartz Monzonite, the on-strike equivalent of the Valentine Lake Intrusive Suite, host to Marathon’s Valentine Lake gold deposits. Sokoman shareholders receive the benefit of an experienced team advancing a project that we were not advancing as rapidly as it deserves due to our focus on Moosehead. We look forward to Trans Canada’s success on the Property.” “By acquiring this strategically located block of gold claims in Central Newfoundland in this m...
