JOHN'S, NL / ACCESSWIRE / September 6, 2022 / Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV:SIC)(OTCQB:SICNF) is pleased to report the following assay results from the ongoing 100,000 m Phase 6 program at Moosehead, including a 39.6 m intercept (core length) grading 12.50 g/t Au and a higher-grade interval of 10.25 m grading 41.97 g/t Au from the Lower Eastern Trend.The mineralization in MH-22-463, located approximately 100 m below the limits of the modeled Eastern Trend, has a different vein style and geometry from other drill intersections in the vicinity. The intercept is thicker than any other intercept to date and includes the \"typical\" very high-grade vuggy-type veining with abundant visible gold and 5% - 7% accessory boulangerite and sphalerite, as well as a brecciated style of veining with specks of visible gold with minor boulangerite and sphalerite. This could suggest a changing structural setting within the Lower Eastern Trend.The Company has re-engaged Ireland-based structural consultant, Dr. David Coller, to review and update existing structural models for the Moosehead mineralization to guide future drilling. Dr. Coller was instrumental in defining the structural concepts used to guide the initial drilling at Moosehead although his involvement has been limited due to Covid restrictions since 2020. Follow-up drilling will start once the structural review is completed.The remaining holes reported today are largely within the main Eastern Trend, where we are expanding the mineralized shell. Limited drilling on the Western Trend was also carried out with the majority of assays pending.Tim Froude, President and CEO of Sokoman, says: \"The intersections reported today in hole MH-22-463 are significant in many respects and not just in average grade. We appear to be in an area where multiple gold-bearing structures are possibly converging, or we are looking at a new style of veining at Moosehead. We intend to step back and take a detailed look at the environment around hole MH-22-463 to better plan drilling moving forward while we still have significant meterage (~ 27,000 m) remaining.
