Sokoman Minerals Corp. announced that ongoing Phase 6 drilling at the 100%-owned Moosehead Property continues to intersect near-surface, high-grade gold mineralization at the recently recognized Footwall Splay that adjoins the Eastern Trend Main Zone. Diamond drill holes MH-20-132 and MH-20-127, drilled prior to the Christmas break, have both returned high-grade gold values. Metallic assay results (rush priority analysis) from MH-20-132 and MH-2-127 returned the following: In addition to the Footwall Splay mineralization, MH-20-132 also cut a lower zone of mineralization (possibly the Eastern Trend Main Zone) over 22.10 m (core length) averaging 1.65 g/t Au, including higher grade zones of up to 2.80 m of 4.36 g/t Au starting at 96.90 m downhole. This zone remains open and will receive further testing. Approximately 6,500 m has been completed in 30 holes to date. Logging and sampling is ongoing, along with the upgrading of the new core building. The program has increased from 10,000 to 20,000 m of which 15,000 m will be dedicated to the Western and Eastern Trends and the adjacent Footwall Splay. The remaining 5,000 m will test high-priority magnetic and geochemical targets elsewhere on the property. Additional assays have been received since the drilling re-started and are incorporated. Some holes remain outstanding and a summary of all holes drilled prior to Christmas will be discussed in more detail once all results have been received. The 100%-owned Moosehead Gold Project is located along the Trans-Canada Highway in North Central Newfoundland, on the same structural trend as the advanced Valentine Lake Project (Marathon Gold), and adjacent to New Found Gold's Queensway Project. Both the Moosehead and Queensway projects are targeting high-grade, turbidite hosted, Fosterville-type gold mineralization. The gold mineralization has been defined over a 500 m strike length and a 200 m vertical height and remains open, with high-grade drill results including 5.10 m of 124.20 g/t Au (MH-18-39) and 4.8 m of 33.59 g/t A, including 0.90 m of 124.15 g/t Au (MH-19-62).
