Sokoman Minerals Named Explorer Of The Year By The Canadian Institute Of Mining, Newfoundland And Labrador Branch

November 12, 2019 – St. John’s, Newfoundland – Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSX.V: SIC) (‘Sokoman’ or ‘the Company’) is excited to announce that on November 9, 2019 the Company was recognized by the Newfoundland and Labrador Branch of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM NL) as Prospector/Explorer of the Year for continuous advancement and outstanding results at its 100%-owned flagship Moosehead Gold Property in Central Newfoundland.

The project generated a lot of buzz not only provincially but countrywide when the first hole drilled on the property intersected almost 12 m of 44.96 g/t Au, followed by several successful phases of drilling and investment by Eric Sprott, who is the Company’s largest shareholder. To date, Sokoman has drilled 88 holes totalling 18,600 m at Moosehead, many of them showing visible gold and high grades.

“After acquiring the property from Altius Minerals, Sokoman’s team re-evaluated the geology of the area through the examination of recently exposed bedrock and mineralized veins and determined the orientation of the controlling structures on the property, forming a strategically used plan and a successful drilling program. Sokoman Minerals is a very worthy recipient of this year’s Explorer of the Year award,” said Jamie Powell, Chairman and President of the CIM NL.

Sokoman is gearing up for an aggressive 2020 drill program, focused mainly on extending the high-grade Eastern Trend. The total meterage to be proposed will be based largely on the results of the forthcoming structural report being prepared by Earth Tectonics, as well as additional targets identified internally.
