Arizona Tribune - Sokoman Drilling Resumes at Western Trend, Moosehead Project, Central Newfoundland

The plan and long section show the previous drilling on the Western Trend and the location of the planned drill holes. A high-grade shoot dipping East and down-plunge is outlined in the accompanying long section with the proposed drilling designed to extend it to depth and to the south.

Timothy Froude, P.Geo., President and CEO, states, "We are very pleased to announce the resumption of drilling at the Western Trend and are confident that additional high-grade values will be found in the holes yet to report, as well as in the planned 2025 program. The information from the drilling will help in planning the location of the conventional bulk sample planned for late Q1 or early Q2, as soon as conditions allow. Discussions for processing the sample offsite are in progress. We are expecting the final batch of assays, from drilling prior to Christmas, shortly with several holes noted to have visible gold in quartz."

Drilling to date at the Western Trend has tested 100 m of the strike to 165 m down plunge with the zone remaining open. The deeper holes are targeting the potential high-grade plunge of the intersection point between the east-west trending splay and the main north-trending vein system.

Analytical Techniques / QA/QC

Samples, including duplicates, blanks, and standards, are submitted to Eastern Analytical Ltd. in Springdale, Newfoundland, for gold analysis. All core samples submitted for assay are saw cut by Sokoman personnel, with one-half submitted for assay and one-half retained for reference. Samples are delivered in sealed bags directly to the lab by Sokoman personnel. Eastern Analytical Ltd. is an accredited assay lab that conforms to the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025. Samples with visible gold are submitted for total pulp metallics with a gravimetric finish. All other samples are analyzed by standard fire assay methods. Total pulp metallic analysis includes the entire sample being crushed to -10 mesh and then pulverized to 95% -150 mesh. The total sample is weighed and screened to 150 mesh; the +150-mesh fraction is fire-assayed for Au, and a 30 g subsample of the -150-mesh fraction is fire-assayed for Au, with a calculated weighted average of total Au in the sample reported as well. One blank and one industry-approved standard for every twenty samples submitted is included in the sample stream. Random duplicates of selected samples are analyzed in addition to the in-house standard and duplicate policies of Eastern Analytical Ltd. All reported assays are uncut.
