Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV:SIC) (OTCQB:SICNF) has received additional high-grade assays from the Moosehead Project in n north-central Newfoundland, Canada.
The promising results come from multiple holes from the expanding 75 Zone which has now been essentially linked with the main Eastern Trend/Footwall Splay mineralisation.
In addition, MH-22-418, completed this week (assays pending) has intersected the deepest occurrence of visible gold to date on the property at a downhole depth of 352 m in a step-out below the current limit of mineralisation in the Eastern Trend.
Assay highlights include:
- MH-22-392 – 2.35 m of 25.58 g/t Au from 72.65 m downhole (75 Zone)
- MH-22-385 – 4.29 m of 14.56 g/t Au from 11.15 m downhole (Upper Eastern Trend)
- MH-22-366 – 1.40 m of 133.94 g/t Au from 34.95 m downhole (75 Zone)
- MH-22-359 – 1.00 m of 95.03 g/t Au from 19.44 m downhole (75 Zone)
“We are pleased to be reporting results from some of the first holes from the 2022 programme and to announce that the barge drill rig is back in the water and ready for an extensive 2022 campaign,” President, and CEO, Tim Froude, said.
“We are also pleased to report that the first reconnaissance drilling in the southern half of the property, two km southwest of the main mineralised trends at Moosehead, and designed to test the Valentine Lake structural corridor, has returned significant gold values.
“Holes MH-22-379, 383, 386, 389 and 395, a five-hole fence centred roughly on the inferred location of the Valentine Lake corridor, all intersected mineralisation with the best results from hole MH-22-379, that was drilled in the centre of the five-hole fence. More drilling is planned for this area over the course of the summer.
“Most gratifyingly we note that drilling in the 75 Zone area, including assays reported today from holes MH-359, 366, and 392, has closed the gap between the 75 Zone and the Eastern Trend/Footwall Splay mineralisation to approximately 50 m.
“Holes MH-22-359, 366, and 392 all returned excellent grades in the upper portions of the 75 Zone consistent with earlier results from the Footwall Splay, and we now believe the 75 Zone and the Footwall Splay are connected and splay off of the main Eastern Trend.”
“The two land-based drills that are testing the northern and depth extensions of the Eastern Trend have intersected strong mineralised zones including significant quartz +/- sulphide (boulangerite, sphalerite, pyrite) veining with the deepest cut yet containing visible gold (9 specks of visible gold) within a 5 m – 10 m section of MH-22-418 at 352 m down hole (302 m downdip from surface), which is 50 m deeper than any previous high-grade intersection.”
