[{"type":"text","content":"Sokoman Minerals Reports Strongly-Mineralized Veining in the Western Trend Bulk-Sample Trench at Moosehead Gold Project, Central NewfoundlandST. JOHN'S, NL / ACCESSWIRE / September 26, 2024 / Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV:SIC)(OTCQB:SICNF) (\"Sokoman\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to provide the following updates from the 100%-owned Moosehead Gold Project in central Newfoundland. The current focus at Moosehead is on plans to extract bulk samples. The first sample is a conventional bulk sample on the Western Trend using drill and blast methods (see Plan Map 1 for proposed locations). The second bulk sample is with Novamera Inc. at the Footwall Splay in the Eastern Trend, utilizing Novamera's proprietary surgical mining technique. Due to lengthy lab turnaround times, the Company is waiting for the gold assay results from 28 holes.Timothy Froude, P. Geo., President and CEO, states, \"We are thrilled with the advances we've made on both bulk-sample projects and eagerly anticipate the completion of the Western Trend bulk sample this year. The exposed quartz veining is reminiscent of some of the best drill holes on the Moosehead property. This pivotal step will yield critical insights into the metallurgy and gold recoveries at Moosehead, marking a significant milestone in our project's development.\"Conventional Bulk Sample - Western TrendThree areas (labelled A, B and C on Plan Map 2) within the Western Trend were drill tested with a series of short holes to determine the best location to extract a conventional bulk sample of 1,000 cubic metres (approximately 2,700 tonnes). Area C (see Plan Map 2) was chosen, and the excavation is underway. A zone of quartz veining with associated altered and mineralized mafic dyke has been exposed in the center of the trench (see Image 1), which is believed to be linked to a 1.5 m wide quartz vein intersected in drill hole MH-24-618, which contained 25 specks of visible gold. MH-24-618 is located approximately 10 m south of the end of the exposed vein. The trench has yet to be fully excavated, with mapping and sampling to commence immediately upon completion. Preliminary examination of the exposed quartz veining has identified locally abundant boulangerite and arsenopyrite mineralization with random specks of visible gold noted in multiple locations. The final layout of the bulk sample dimensions w...
