[{"type":"text","content":"Sokoman Minerals Provides Winter 2020 Exploration Update at Moosehead Gold Project, Central NewfoundlandST. JOHN'S, NL / ACCESSWIRE / January 17, 2020 / Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV:SIC)(OTCQB:SICNF) (the \"Company\" or \"Sokoman\") is pleased to provide an update on its current activities and near-term plans.Notable events since the end of Phase 4 drilling include the following:The Company has commissioned an approximate 800 line-km airborne magnetic survey over the entire property to help map out mafic dikes as well as key structures important for mineralization.Sokoman has completed a till sampling program and the samples were submitted for gold grain study as well as Heavy Mineral Concentrate (HMC) analysis, with the results expected in March 2020.The 3-D Model of Moosehead is in the final stages of production and is expected to be finalized by the start of Phase 5 drilling. A recently released report on the structural controls of mineralization, in association with the 3-D Model, will form the basis of the next drill program.Phase 5 of drilling at Moosehead is expected to start in the beginning of February 2020.Timothy Froude, P. Geo., President and CEO, comments: \"We have been quite active at Moosehead and laying the framework for a busy and productive 2020. The marriage of the new till survey with a modern and detailed magnetic survey could unlock new zones of potential gold mineralization on underexplored areas of Moosehead. The main structural break extends the full length of the property, and historical work has shown that there is potential for gold mineralization along the entire length. We feel the time is right to evaluate the entire Moosehead Property ─ as history has shown, deposits tend to occur in clusters, and so far, we have only evaluated in detail 25% of the property.\"Airborne Magnetic SurveySokoman has commissioned the first magnetic survey over the property in almost 20 years. The new survey will be flown with a helicopter at 50 m line spacings, with the exception of a core area centered on the Western and Eastern Trends that will be at 25 m spacings. The strong spatial association of mafic dikes with areas of significant gold mineralization is a feature that the magnetic survey could help define, as well as identify targets over other areas of the property that have not been investigated to date...
