[{"type":"text","content":"Sokoman Minerals Provides Phase 5 Exploration Update3-D Model Incorporating Western and Eastern Trends UnveiledST. JOHN'S, NL / ACCESSWIRE / February 27, 2020 / Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV:SIC)(OTCQB:SICNF) (the \"Company\" or \"Sokoman\") is pleased to provide the following exploration update and to announce that the 3-D model of the Moosehead mineralized zones, incorporating the Western and Eastern Trends, has been finalized and can now be viewed on the Company website under the Investors - Media tab.Phase 5 DrillingThe Phase 5 drilling program is underway with one rig testing the down-plunge extensions of the Eastern Trend, based on the 3-D modelling.Ice-making is ongoing on North Pond to allow drilling from the ice, with a second drill rig, to test the up-plunge potential of the northern extension of the Eastern Trend. At present, weather conditions are not ideal for making a new ice layer, so the Company is working with the contractor to secure a lighter drill that can be used at the current ice thickness.As of Feb. 26, four drill holes have been completed from the east side of North Pond and the first shipment of core samples (180 in total, including blanks and standards) have been sent to Eastern Analytical Ltd. in Springdale, NL, for Au and ICP analysis. Gold will be assayed by standard 30 g fire assay, with selected samples tagged for metallics assaying based on the presence of visible gold. Results are expected in 4 to 6 weeks.\"We expect 2020 to be a breakout year for the Moosehead project, both in terms of expanding the known mineralization, and in discovering new zones of gold mineralization based on our magnetic and till surveys. We have focused on a 2 km length of the over 8 km potential mineralized structure and we intend to evaluate this untested potential once we have received and merged the new and historical data. A follow-up prospecting/trenching program is planned by the 3rd or 4th quarter of this year to define new drill targets,\" commented Timothy Froude, P. Geo., President and CEO.3-D ModelThe video of the 3-D model begins with an overhead view of the North Pond/South Pond area showing the drill holes and geology of the main mineralized area. The video then starts a 360 degree, rotating view, beginning with the geological model and moving through to the structural components, followed by the mineralize...
