Sokoman Minerals Receives Structural Report On The Moosehead Gold Property

Report Provides Insights on Gold Mineralization in the Eastern Trend and Identifies 2020 Drill Targets

St. John’s, NL, November 27, 2019 – Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: SIC) (OTCQB: SICNF) (the “Company” or “Sokoman”) is pleased to announce that it has received the Structural Interpretation Report on the Eastern Trend Zone of the Company’s flagship Moosehead Gold Property in north-central Newfoundland. This report, prepared by Dublin-based Earth Tectonics Ltd., details the structural controls of gold mineralization in the Eastern Trend and provides recommendations for future exploration.

Timothy Froude, P. Geo., President and CEO states: “The Earth Tectonics report has greatly strengthened the case that the Moosehead property is of significant value to the Company. The geology, structure, and style of mineralization compare favourably to the Fosterville gold deposit in Australia, which added some very high-grade gold resources to Kirkland Lake Gold’s inventory after a deep drilling program in 2015. Moosehead, unlike Fosterville, has only been tested to shallow depths (~200 metres vertically). The report has identified multiple underexplored targets that will require extensive drill testing. To date, Sokoman has drilled 18,600 metres, largely in the Eastern Trend and immediate vicinity, reporting multiple high-grade intersections, including 5.65 m @ 93.56 g/t Au from MH-18-01 (see News Release dated July 24, 2018), and 4.80 m @ 33.59 g/t Au from MH-19-62 (see News Release dated April 16, 2019), which are among the highest-grade results in Canada in the past 18 months. It is our intention to become more aggressive and we anticipate multiple phases of drilling in 2020, starting in the early winter.”

Report highlights include:

  1. Long section interpretations suggest a Main Zone consisting of several south-plunging high-grade shoots in the main fault-vein system which may be comprised of at least two lenses. The deepest drilling contains the highest-grade shoot at >100 gram-metres (grade multiplied by thickness) and is open in all directions.

  2. Vein style and host structures are typical of a sediment or intrusive hosted gold system controlled by reverse or strike-slip shears in a low grade metamorphic, compressional regime.

  3. The relationship between shearing and folding is similar to the Bendigo-Fosterville type gold deposits in Australia. These deposits are commonly multi-structured with principal shear-vein structures having considerable strike and depth extent (to >1000 m) as at Fosterville.

  4. Phase 4 drilling has confirmed the geometry of the central area of the Eastern Trend which remains open along strike and to depth. The across-strike link with the Western Trend is also flagged as an area of potential interest.

  5. The Eastern Trend exploration is at early stage with potential deposit size yet to be determined.

The Company is planning the next Phase (s) of drilling, mainly based on the interpretation and recommendations in the Structural Report. The main focus for 2020 will be to extend the Eastern Trend to depth and along strike to the north and south.

Selected excerpts from the Earth Tectonics Structural Report can be found at www.sokomanmineralscorp.com . The Company is also working on a 3-D model of the Eastern Trend, which will be posted on the Company’s website in due course.

The Company acknowledges and thanks the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador for its continued support of the Moosehead Project through the Junior Exploration Assistance program which provides funding for approved projects.

Sokoman Extends Eastern Trend At Moosehead Gold Project

MH-19-81 cuts 17.34 g/t Au over 6.40 m; including 75.50 g/t Au over 1.45 m

St. John’s, NL, October 24, 2019 – Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: SIC) (OTCQB: SICNF) (the “Company” or “Sokoman”) is pleased to release the results of Phase 4 diamond drilling at the 100%-owned Moosehead Project in North-central Newfoundland. The program successfully extended the strike length of the Eastern Trend to at least 400 metres (see attached drill plan) and the zone remains open to the north, south and at depth. The Company estimates true thicknesses of holes drilled from east to west are >80% of reported core length (ie. MH-19-69A, 75, 81 and older holes such as MH-19-52, 62 and 63 etc.), while reported intersections in holes drilled from west to east (ie. MH-19-68 and older holes such as 18-01, 17, 39, etc.) are approximately 50% of reported thickness. The summary of drilling highlights is tabulated below.

Read complete Phase 4 assay results here.

*MH-01-34 cut 8.67 g/t Au over 1.25 m and 7.11 g/t Au over 1.05 m incl. 28.62 g/t Au over 0.22 m (core lengths).

**MH-19-62 cut 4.8m @ 33.48 g/t Au (core length – true thickness estimated at 90% of core length).

G x M (grade multiplied by thickness in metres).

Timothy Froude, P. Geo., President and CEO, states: “We are extremely pleased with the results from the fourth phase of drilling at Moosehead, as well as the preliminary structural assessment by Earth Tectonics. The evidence suggests excellent potential exists to extend known high-grade shoots both up and down plunge and to depth as well as the discovery of additional high-grade shoots (ie. MH-19-75) at Moosehead. Sokoman’s persistence, and drilling strategy to date, is providing the information required to begin to formulate a clearer picture of what may be happening at the Eastern Trend and indeed, the remainder of the property.”

A total of 4,272 metres were drilled in 18 holes largely targeting the high-grade Eastern Trend drilled mostly from the east side of the pond. Multiple holes delivered high-grade results. MH-19-81, the final hole of Phase 4, successfully intersected the high-grade Main Zone 25 metres to the north of MH-19-62, the northernmost intersection of high-grade mineralization to date, and the zone remains open. MH-19-80, the southernmost hole drilled in the program, extended the gold bearing Eastern Trend to the south where it also remains open along strike and to depth.

In addition to extending the strike length of the Eastern Trend, the Phase 4 program has provided key insights towards better understanding the controls on mineralization within the Eastern Trend.

The attached long section reflects a preliminary assessment from Earth Tectonics whereby the known mineralization is interpreted to plunge to the south. This new interpretation suggests that much of our original drilling remains open and why some holes appear to have missed the zone. The ongoing structural assessment demonstrates the potential for multiple, stacked, south plunging high-grade shoots in the NE portion of the Eastern Trend, and also suggests additional high-grade shoots exist to the SW, as supported by hole MH-19-75, drilled 290 m south of MH-19-62, which intersected near surface, visible gold bearing veins typical of the high grade Eastern Trend. MH-19-75 returned a 5.80 m intersection (core length) grading 6.93 g/t Au starting at 87.50 m downhole, including two visible gold bearing veins that assayed 30.42 g/t Au over 0.30 m (from 88.95 m), and 32.99 g/t Au over 0.80 m (from 92.50 m).

In terms of next steps, the Company expects to receive a detailed final report on the structural controls of mineralization at Moosehead by Earth Tectonics in the next two weeks and is moving ahead with permitting for an aggressive 2020 drilling campaign. This program will include a winter phase to take advantage of better ground conditions as well as possible additional ice-based drilling.

Analytical Techniques / QA/QC

All core samples submitted for assay were saw cut by Sokoman personnel with one half submitted for assay and one half retained for reference. Samples were delivered in sealed bags directly to the lab by Sokoman Minerals personnel. Samples, including duplicates, blanks and standards, were submitted to Eastern Analytical Ltd. in Springdale, Newfoundland for gold analysis. Eastern Analytical is an accredited assay lab that conforms to requirements of ISO/IEC 17025. Samples with possible visible gold were submitted for total pulp metallics and gravimetric finish. All other samples were analyzed by standard fire assay methods. Total pulp metallic analysis includes: the whole sample is crushed to -10 mesh; then pulverized to 95% -150 mesh; the total sample is weighed and screened 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. In addition, random duplicates of selected samples are analyzed in addition to the in-house standard and duplicate policies of Eastern Analytical.

Sokoman Minerals Completes Diamond Drilling At Clarks Brook

SOKOMAN MINERALS COMPLETES DIAMOND DRILLING AT CLARKS BROOK, TERMINATES THE OPTION WITH METALS CREEK RESOURCES INC., AND PROVIDES MOOSEHEAD UPDATE

St. John’s, NL, September 25, 2019 – Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: SIC) (OTCQB: SICNF) (the “Company” or “Sokoman”) has completed the 1,200-metre diamond drilling program at the Clarks Brook property, under option from Metals Creek Resources Inc. The 3-hole program tested the depth potential of the surface gold mineralization which was first drilled, and intersected, by Sokoman in its initial 2017/2018 drill program. Hole CB-19-08, drilled into the centre of the magnetic anomaly and under cutting DDH’s CB-18-6, 7, returned multiple zones of anomalous gold mineralization to a vertical depth of 400 metres with the highest values, from 73.6 to 80 m (6.4 m) at 2.26 g/t Au. Holes CB-19-09, 10, drilling the southern extension of the magnetic anomaly, verified widespread anomalous gold mineralization.

Significant assays* are highlighted in the following tables:

Note: Sample intervals reported are core lengths, true widths are not known at this time.

The program has confirmed that gold mineralization continues from surface to depths of at least 400 metres vertically and extends to depth, and along strike, to the north and south. Intervals of vuggy, chalcedonic, quartz veining with 1-3% disseminated pyrite, minor arsenopyrite and very minor stibnite, were intersected in hole CB-19-08 over intervals of up to 26 metres (core length – true thickness not known) giving values of 1 g/t Au with subintervals with values up to 0.80 metres of 5.94 g/t Au.

While the Au results showed a significant gold endowment in the area, which was encouraging, given our current emphasis on the Moosehead property and a heavy work commitment in 2020 to continue with the Clarks Brook option, the Company has decided to return the property to Metals Creek Resources Inc. Sokoman will not retain any interest the Clarks Brook property.

Moosehead Property Update

The Phase 4 diamond drill program has been completed, with a total of 4,272 metres in 18 holes drilled on the high-grade Eastern Trend, discovered by Sokoman in 2018. Core logging and sampling is ongoing and is expected to be completed in the next few days. A total of 1,071 samples have been submitted from the first 15 holes, for gold analysis by fire assay with the final three holes remaining to be sampled. The Company is expecting all samples to be to the laboratory by the end of the month with complete results expected mid to late October. Core logging and sampling for the Moosehead drilling was delayed due to the prioritization of the Clarks Brook drilling in advance of pending option payments to Metals Creek Resources Inc.

Selected core from the Phase 3 and 4 diamond drilling will be examined by structural experts from Dublin, Ireland-based, Earth Tectonics Ltd. in support of planning for the next Phase of drilling at Moosehead. Earth Tectonics has been involved with the Moosehead project since 2015, with Altius Resources, and again in 2018 after the completion of the Phase 1 drilling by Sokoman. The structural study will focus on the Eastern Trend to define target areas for a deep drilling program, once all data has been incorporated into the deposit model.

Timothy Froude, P. Geo., President and CEO, states: “While we believe that the Clarks Brook property warrants further exploration, we feel that we should focus on our flagship Moosehead property, and therefore we will return the Clarks Brook property to Metals Creek. At Moosehead, we have focused on a 1-2 km strike length centered on the Western, and newly discovered, Eastern Trends, in the central part of the property, however historical exploration has identified favourable structures, anomalous gold in float, till and soils in areas where only widely spaced drilling has been carried out over the 7.5 km length of the property. In the near term, we intend to evaluate the deep potential of Moosehead, since most gold mineralization has been found at depths shallower than 100 metres vertical. We now know that gold bearing structures are major structures with deeper roots that have not been tested and this will be the focus for us in the coming months.”

Sokoman Minerals Completes Drill Program At Clarks Brook

SAMPLES SUBMITTED FOR RUSH ASSAYING

St. John’s, NL, September 11, 2019 – Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: SIC) (OTCQB: SICNF) (the “Company” or “Sokoman”) today announced that the drill program on the Clarks Brook property has been completed and rush assays are underway. The program comprised 1,200 metres in three holes testing the mineralized corridor below the shallow gold zone discovery announced on December 21, 2017. The property is located 33 km to the south-east of Sokoman’s flagship Moosehead gold project and is optioned from Metals Creek Resources (MEK: TSX.V).

Tim Froude, President and CEO, commented: “The Clarks Brook property is subject to an option agreement with Metals Creek calling for an exploration program costing $300,000 this year with a completion date of September 22, 2019, including a 30-day extension due to an unexpected delay of two and a half months caused by new Department of Environment regulations. A total of 377 samples (including blanks, standards and duplicates) were submitted for rush assaying, with results expected in approximately 2 weeks. The drilling intersected multiple mineralized zones up to 26 metres thick (core length), at depths to 400 metres vertical, consisting of chalcedonic quartz veining with 1-5% disseminated sulphides, resembling mineralized zones encountered in the previous 2017 drill program. Once the core samples are analyzed and interpreted and the option agreement satisfied, our priority will return to the Moosehead property.”

Moosehead Property Update

At the 100%-owned Moosehead gold property, 14 drill holes (3,200 m) have been drilled this summer with drilling focused on the extension of the mineralized shear zone to the south and north. A program of deep testing the roots of the shear zone will be proposed following the completion of a detailed review of the Eastern Trend, including a follow-up structural interpretation by Earth Tectonics Limited, once Phase 4 has been completed.

The Phase 4 drill program at Moosehead is a minimum of 4,000 m budgeted at $750,000. The first assay results from the project will be released in the next few weeks.

QA/QC

The core sampling protocol includes both lab and industry approved standards as well as duplicate assaying procedures. Sample lengths for both programs range from a maximum of 1.5 metres to a minimum of 0.05 metres with an average of approximately 0.75 metres. Analysis for gold by fire assay with AA finish is being completed at Eastern Analytical Limited, a nationally accredited lab in Springdale, NL.

Sokoman Minerals Commences Drilling At Clarks Brook

St. John’s, NL, August 20, 2019 – Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: SIC) (OTCQB: SICNF) (the “Company” or “Sokoman”) is pleased to announce that diamond drilling has begun on the optioned Clarks Brook property, located 35 kilometres southeast of the Company’s Moosehead project in central Newfoundland. The minimum 1,200-metre program will further test the gold bearing, epithermal style, mineralized zone initially defined by the Company in shallow drilling in 2017. The program will consist of 3 to 4 strategically placed holes designed to test for deeper, higher-grade gold mineralization at what is commonly termed the boiling zone in a classic epithermal gold system. The boiling zone can occur at depths ranging from 200 to 400 m, sometimes deeper depending on specific deposit characteristics.

The mineralized zone is hosted in a well-defined, north-south trending magnetic low which appears to be folded in places. Gold mineralization is hosted in a brecciated, moderately to strongly silicified zone with abundant crosscutting gray, vuggy quartz stringers with 1-3% disseminated pyrite, arsenopyrite and minor stibnite (antimony). Minor visible gold has been noted in both drill core and in slabbed rock samples which have textures and mineralization consistent with epithermal gold mineralization, in a trend subparallel to the Moosehead-Valentine Lake Trend. Numerous gold showings on trend from the Clarks Brook property also have strong epithermal characteristics including jasperoid, silica sinters and pathfinder elements such as antimony and arsenic. The producing Beaver Brook antimony mine lies 14 kilometres on trend to the southwest of the property.

Timothy Froude, P. Geo., President and CEO, states: “We believe that the Clarks Brook gold mineralization intersected in the 2017/18 shallow drilling program is consistent with mineralization in the upper levels of an epithermal system. The 2019 drill program is testing the gold zone for higher-grade mineralization deeper in the system, in the potential boiling zone, and also several hundred metres of the magnetic feature and structural features that could be associated with higher grades and thicker mineralized zones. This is a busy and exciting summer for our shareholders since we are drilling our two most important projects at the same time.”

Option Agreement with Metals Creek Resources

To earn an initial 75% interest in the Clarks Brook property, Sokoman must, over three years: 1) make cash payments of $45,000; 2) issue a total of 3,000,000 common shares; and 3) incur exploration expenditures of $800,000. Sokoman is the operator during the earn-in period. Once the 75% interest is earned either a 75/25 joint venture is formed, or Sokoman can elect to earn an additional 25% interest to bring its total interest to 100% by making a payment of $100,000 and issuing an additional 2,000,000 shares within 60 days of the third anniversary date.

Sokoman Minerals To Initiate Deep Testing At Clarks Brook In Mid-August

St. John’s, NL, August 7, 2019 – Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: SIC) (OTCQB: SICNF) (the “Company” or “Sokoman”) is pleased to announce that the deep testing of the gold bearing structure at Clarks Brook will begin on August 15th following the receipt of all necessary permits. Clarks Brook lies 35 kilometres southeast of the Company’s Moosehead project in central Newfoundland and is road accessible. The minimum 1,200-metre program will test down to 400 metres vertically the mineralized zone defined by diamond drilling completed by Sokoman in late 2017 and early 2018. At that time, Sokoman completed approximately 1,000 metres of drilling in seven holes with all holes returning gold mineralization including CB-17-02 3.00 m @ 3.37 g/t Au incl. 0.25 m @ 26.90 g/t Au (core length); and CB-18-05 3.10 m @ 3.74 g/t Au incl. 0.60 m @ 14.73 g/t Au (core length). Additional details about Clarks Brook may be found on the Company’s website at www.sokomanmineralscorp.com.

The Clarks Brook Property exhibits textures and mineralization consistent with an epithermal style of gold mineralization in a trend sub-parallel to the Moosehead-Valentine Lake Trend. Numerous historical gold showings that lie on trend from Clarks Brook have strong epithermal characteristics including jasperoid development, silica sinters and pathfinder elements such as antimony and arsenic. The producing Beaver Brook antimony mine lies 14 kilometres on trend to the southwest of Clarks Brook.

The proposed program will consist of 3-4 strategically placed holes designed to test for deeper, higher-grade gold mineralization at what is commonly termed the boiling zone. The boiling zone can occur at depths ranging from 200-400 metres, sometimes deeper depending on specific deposit characteristics.

Timothy Froude, P. Geo., President and CEO, states: “This will certainly be a busy and exciting summer for our shareholders as we will be drilling our two most important projects at the same time. We firmly believe that what we have seen to date at Clarks Brook is consistent with the upper levels of an epithermal system and we have an excellent opportunity to test for higher grades which typically occur below the levels we see at surface and in the shallow drilling completed to date. Meanwhile, drilling continues at Moosehead, with 30% (approximately 1,200 metres) of proposed meterage completed. We intend to pause briefly next week to allow for the return of assays from the first couple of holes before continuing with the program.”

First results from the Phase 4 drilling at Moosehead are expected before the end of August. The results from the entire Phase 1 drilling program at Clarks Brook are expected mid- to late September.

The summer 2019 operating budget has been pegged at $1.20 million of which $750,000 is planned for the Moosehead Project, with the remaining $450,000 spread between the other three projects, with Clarks Brook accounting for about $250,000. The Company currently has $2.5 million in the treasury and does not need to raise funds for the upcoming programs.

The Company wishes to extend gratitude to the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador for its continued support of the Moosehead Project through the JEA program.

Sokoman Minerals Commences Phase 4 Drilling At Moosehead

3-D Modelling Reveals Key Details about Eastern Trend

St. John’s, NL, July 11, 2019 – Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: SIC) (OTCQB: SICNF) (the “Company” or “Sokoman”) is pleased to announce that all necessary permits have been received and that the Phase 4 diamond drilling program contract has been awarded to Springdale Forest Resources. Drilling will begin this weekend or early next week, and the minimum 4,000 m program is expected to take about six weeks to complete. The Company is also pleased to announce that the on-going modelling of the Eastern Trend has revealed key features of the mineralization that have been incorporated into the planning for the current drill program.

Key features of the Eastern Trend mineralization include:

It consists of at least three subparallel, possibly folded subzones.

Central and lower subzones appear to be coalescing or folded; this suggests that structural thickening is possible. The Central Zone contains most of high-grade intercepts.

Overall mineralized trend appears to be more north than northeast trending.

Traced along strike for 175 m and to a depth of 250 m and remains open in all directions.

The modelling has significantly changed the approach for the Phase 4 drilling in that it now appears unnecessary to complete barge-based drilling on North Pond which would be more costly and time consuming. The newly recognized northerly strike of the trend means drilling to the west of North Pond can effectively test both the strike and up-dip potential of the Eastern Trend, while drilling to the east of North Pond can effectively test the strike and down-dip potential of the trend. Selected views of the Eastern Trend can be found at www.sokomanmineralscorp.com

Phase 4 will consist of approximately 20 holes, each 100 to 350 metres deep with spacings between 25 and 50 metres. The focus is to extend the Eastern Trend to the north and south to try to at least double the strike length and also to extend the mineralization to depth. Drilling will start at the north end of the trend following up on MH-19-62 that cut 4.80 m @ 33.59 g/t Au from 239.85 m.

Timothy Froude, P. Geo., President and CEO, states: “We are eager to get the Phase 4 drilling underway given what we have learned since completing the Phase 3 winter program. Modelling has revealed details about the Eastern Trend that are critical in our planning for this phase. Our focus has been, and will remain, the Moosehead Project. We still await final permits for Clarks Brook, and will begin drilling operation there as soon as we receive final permits, which we expect in the coming weeks. This will certainly be a busy and exciting summer for our shareholders in that we will be drilling our two most important projects at the same time. We expect a steady stream of news on several fronts moving forward.”

The summer 2019 operating budget has been pegged at $1.20 million of which $750,000 is planned for the Moosehead Project, with the remaining $450,000 spread between the other three projects, with Clarks Brook accounting for about $250,000. The Company currently has $2.55 million in cash in the treasury and does not need to raise funds for the upcoming programs. The Company wishes to extend gratitude to the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador for its continued support of the Moosehead Project through the JEA program.

Sokoman Minerals Completes Phase 3 Drilling At Moosehead Gold Property, Newfoundland

High-Grade Eastern Trend Intersected in Multiple Holes; Shear Zone Strike Length Tripled

St. John’s, NL, March 19, 2019 – Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: SIC) (OTCQB: SICNF) (the “Company” or “Sokoman”) is pleased to announce the completion of a highly successful Phase 3 drilling program at Moosehead. Final assay results are expected in mid to late April, at which point the Company will focus on compiling, interpreting and modeling data received from the three phases of drilling as well as down-hole camera work, structural interpretation and geophysics in order to prepare for Phase 4 drilling later in 2019.

Highlights:

1) 21 holes totaling approximately 4,715 m completed, including eight holes from the ice on North Pond. Logging and sampling are expected to take two weeks to be completed, with final assays expected mid to late April.

2) All holes encountered significant intervals of shearing and quartz veining with many holes cutting multiple zones.

3) At least seven holes, MH-19-50, 52, 53, 56, 61, 62 and 63 (including five from the ice) intersected visible gold bearing quartz veins, highlighted by MH-19-62 which cut three separate veins from 0.30 to 0.90 m thick (core lengths*) with the 0.90 m vein carrying widespread, fine visible gold within a strongly mineralized section from 240.00 to 244.50 m downhole, located 110 m northeast of discovery hole MH-18-01.

4) Strike length of Eastern Trend shear zone extended to at least 175 m, remaining open along strike to the north and south, and to depth.

Timothy Froude, P. Geo., President and CEO, states: “We are extremely pleased with the results from the third, and quite possibly the most successful drilling Phase of drilling at Moosehead. While our window for effectively testing the Eastern Trend has temporarily closed, we anticipate a barge-based diamond drill program to take place later in 2019 so as to continue evaluating and expanding the high-grade mineralized zone. With a healthy treasury of just under $3 million, we are well positioned to take Moosehead to the next level. We also intend to complete drilling on the nearby, epithermal style, Clarks Brook property during Q2 2019, testing for high-grade mineralization we believe may exist below the known mineralized zones.”

Sokoman Minerals Provides Summer Exploration Update

Budgets $1.2 Million to Central Newfoundland Gold Projects

St. John’s, NL, May 9, 2019 – Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: SIC) (OTCQB: SICNF) (the“Company” or “Sokoman”) is pleased to provide the following update and outlook for the next 6 months for its portfolio of gold properties in Central Newfoundland. The bulk of the exploration will be directed at the flagship Moosehead Gold Project, including a Phase 4 diamond drilling program, with additional funding for the Company’s other gold projects including Clarks Brook, East Alder and Crippleback Lake. All four projects lie in the emerging Central Newfoundland Gold District, an area anchored by the 4.2 million ounce gold project at Valentine Lake, operated by Marathon Gold (TSX: MOZ).

Timothy Froude, P.Geo., President and CEO, states: “We are looking forward to our summer exploration programs with great anticipation. Our focus has been, and will remain, the Moosehead Project, where we are following up on our 2018 high-grade gold discovery on the Eastern Trend, which is generating continuously strong results. We are now working on a 3-D model for the Moosehead mineralized zones and look forward to our Phase 4 drilling program expected to start mid-summer. Our other gold properties, although earlier stage, all show good potential too. Since they require continued option payments if we decide to keep them, we are spending what we feel is necessary to properly evaluate them. Scheduling, and forthcoming option requirements, means that work at Clarks Brook will begin as soon as possible (pending some approvals), followed by the Phase 4 drilling at Moosehead, with East Alder and Crippleback Lake programs commencing later in the summer.”

The summer 2019 operating budget has been pegged at $1.20 million of which $750,000 is planned for the Moosehead Project, with the remaining $450,000 spread between the other three projects, with Clarks Brook accounting for about $250,000. The Company currently has $2.7 million in cash in the treasury and does not need to raise funds for the upcoming programs.

Moosehead

The Company has drilled in excess of 14,000 metres of NQ size core in three phases since July 2018. The programs include, and are highlighted by, the discovery of a previously unrecognized shear zone hosting high-grade gold mineralization with a strike and dip different from other areas of mineralization on the property (see drill plan map with magnetics). The shear zone, dubbed the Eastern Trend, has been tested over a strike length of 200 metres, to at least 200 metres vertically, and with a thickness not yet clearly defined, but locally tens of metres in apparent thickness. Gold mineralization in the shear zone is hosted in altered sedimentary units, as well as mafic dikes, with quartz vein(s) that carry very high gold grades (i.e. 1.10 metres of 550.30 g/t Au from MH-18-39) with extensive visible gold. The wall rocks to the high-grade veins also carry significant gold values allowing for the inclusion of wider intervals of potentially economic mineralization (i.e. 5.10 metres grading 124.20 g/t Au from MH-18-39). The Eastern Trend mineralization has a northeast strike and a moderate east dip fluctuating between 40 and 60 degrees. The zone has by far been the most consistent in terms of continuity, as well as having a greater thickness than other zones on the Moosehead property and it remains open for expansion. In contrast, the Western Trend, located 250 metres to the west, consists of a series of near surface, east-west trending and moderate to gently north dipping quartz veins, locally with significant visible gold (i.e. 1.50 metres of 96.72 g/t Au from MH-01-13).

The Company is compiling all data from all three of its drilling programs (including a portion of the historical drilling) as well as downhole camera surveying of selected 2018/2019 drill holes, and a ground magnetic survey. The resulting model will be used to guide future drilling programs. The Phase 4 drilling will entail a proposed 5,000 metres of drilling, mainly towards expanding the high-grade Eastern Trend with a portion of the budget directed towards developing additional targets as well as reconnaissance drilling.

Clarks Brook

The Clarks Brook Property was optioned from Metals Creek Resources in late 2017 as a drill ready opportunity. The property is host to high-level, epithermal style, gold mineralization which was never drill tested by previous operators. Historical surface sampling has given grab sample values ranging from 2.98 to 24.5 g/t Au from float and outcrop. Sokoman commenced diamond drilling immediately after acquiring the property, completing a seven-hole program with all holes intersecting gold mineralization including 3.74 g/t Au over 3.10 m including 14.73 g/t Au over 0.60 m. Sokoman believes the mineralization intersected represents the upper portion of an epithermal style deposit and that higher gold grades could exist at relatively shallow depths (200-300 metres vertically). The Company plans to drill through the centre of the mineralized zone to target deep-seated mineralization.

While Sokoman is in receipt of some of the required permits to begin exploration at Clarks Brook, several new environmental requirements have been added to the conditions necessary to begin active work. The Company is addressing those items, however cannot give a definitive start date for the drilling program. While we do not expect a long delay, we are preparing for an earlier start of the Phase 4 drilling program at Moosehead if necessary.

East Alder and Crippleback Lake

These projects are much earlier in the exploration stage, however they lie on the northeast extension of the Valentine Lake structural corridor, 25 and 65 km respectively, to the northeast of Valentine Lake (see property location map). Both properties have significant anomalous gold in soil and till anomalies as well as mineralized float. The Company is planning a trenching program to evaluate the anomalies and define drill targets. If no targets are defined, the properties will be returned to the vendors.

Moosehead is the only 100%-owned project, while the other three are under option from third parties with impending expenditure and/or share or cash commitments on them in 2019. The Company intends to evaluate the Clarks Brook, Crippleback and East Alder properties to see if they remain a fit for the Company, and if results do not warrant further work, the properties will be returned to the respective vendors prior to the required issuance of any cash and/or share payments.

Sokoman Minerals Cuts 4.8 M Of 33.59 G/T Au At Moosehead Property, Newfoundland

High-Grade Eastern Trend Expanded and Remains Open

St. John’s, NL, April 16, 2019 – Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: SIC) (OTCQB: SICNF)(the “Company” or “Sokoman”) is pleased to announce assay results from Phase 3 diamond drilling at the high-grade Moosehead Gold Project. The recently completed, 21 hole, 4,715 m winter program successfully extended the high-grade Eastern Trend, demonstrated the existence of higher grades in the area, and tested magnetic anomalies northeast of the presently defined Eastern Trend. A portion of the program was completed from the surface of North Pond with the majority of the remaining holes drilled from the eastern side of North Pond.

Program highlights, including a summary of significant results:

1) MH-19-62 cuts 4.8 m* of 33.59 g/t Au; including 0.90 m* of 124.15 g/t Au starting ata downhole depth of 239.85 m.

2) MH-19-62 intercept is located 110 m northeast of the MH-18-01 (discovery) intercept.

3) Strike length of the Eastern Trend shear zone is extended to at least 175 m, remaining open along strike to the north and south, and to depth.

4) Additional parallel or possibly stacked structures under North Pond require further testing.

5) Other significant intersections include: MH-19-52 (3.50 m of 11.95 g/t Au, incl. 0.80 m of 36.13 g/t Au); MH-19-63 (4.10 m of 9.94 g/t Au, incl. 0.55 m of 53.25 g/t Au); MH-19-56 (1.85 m of 9.08 g/t Au, incl. 0.45 m of 32.85 g/t Au).

Timothy Froude, P. Geo., President and CEO, states: “These are our best results in terms of expanding the strike length of the high-grade core of the Eastern Trend with additional drilling required to outline these high-grade zones. The winter program has defined the controls of higher-grade mineralization, with the majority of the higher-grade intercepts as trends or shoots spatially associated with a strong northeast trending, moderately east dipping shear zone. We have also intersected high-grade veining up-dip from the main shear zone at shallow depths (32.70 m downhole) in MH-19-55 that returned 0.50 m @ 17.94 g/t Au (core length) suggesting parallel or stacked structures. We need more drilling to better define the Eastern Trend, therefore our Phase 4 summer program will be designed to further test this area, to include a barge-based component on North Pond.”

Four holes (MH-19-47, 49, 51 and 54) were drilled to test magnetic targets under the northern portion of North Pond and were successful in cutting sheared and veined units, and while only returning anomalous results, they are mineralized and open along strike and to depth and will receive further drilling in 2019, including testing a soil geochemical anomaly (140 ppb Au) 250 m to the east of North Pond. Two holes (MH-19-43 and 44) were drilled to test historical results from 2003 drilling near South Pond, approximately 500 m to the south of North Pond, with both holes intersecting anomalous values, further drilling contemplated. The Company also plans to expand the magnetic survey to cover the South Pond area to outline possible shear zones that extend from the gold bearing structures under North Pond, based on the new structural findings at Moosehead that resulted in the Eastern Trend discovery. The magnetic survey will also evaluate an area of gold bearing float in the vicinity of South Pond located by previous operators. These boulders lie up-ice from North Pond and are most likely from a source near South Pond not yet discovered.

The intercepts in MH-19-62 and 63, the final two holes of the Phase 3 program, significantly expand the strike length of the Eastern Trend and will be the primary target area for the barge- based program this summer. All data, including new televiewer data from several Phase 3 holes, is being compiled along with Leapfrog 3-D geological modelling software to complete a 3-D model of the Eastern Trend. The planned Phase 4 drilling will be based on the 3-D model, the magnetic survey results and the geological picture forming based on the logging of the Eastern Trend drilling to date.

Update on the Clarks Brook Property

The Company has also applied for permits to drill in Q2 2019 on the Clarks Brook epithermal gold property located 35 kms to the southeast of Moosehead. This will be a small program, under 2,000 m, testing below previous gold intercepts to see if higher grade mineralization, that often lies deeper in classic epithermal environments, exists. This exploration will be completed before the Phase 4 drilling at Moosehead.

QA/QC

A total of 1,070 saw cut samples, excluding duplicates, blanks and standards, have been submitted to Eastern Analytical Ltd. in Springdale, Newfoundland for gold and ICP analysis. One half of the saw cut sample was submitted for analysis while the other half was retained. Sample lengths varied from 0.07 m to 1.3 m in core length with an average length of 0.91 m. Samples with possible visible gold were submitted for total pulp metallics and gravimetric finish. All other samples were analyzed by standard fire assay methods. Eastern Analytical is an accredited assay lab that conforms to requirements of ISO/IEC 17025. Total pulp metallic analysis is a result of a whole sample being crushed to -10 mesh and pulverized to 95% -150 mesh. The total sample is then weighed and screened 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. A calculated weighted average of total Au in the sample is reported as well. The Company included in the sample stream one blank and one industry approved standard for every twenty samples submitted, as well as random duplicates of selected samples. This is in addition to the in-house standard and duplicate policy of Eastern Analytical.

Sokoman Minerals Provides Phase 3 Drilling Update At Moosehead Gold Property, Newfoundland

Initial holes from ice surface intersect Shear Zone with visible gold bearing quartz veining

St. John’s, NL, March 1, 2019 – Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: SIC) (OTCQB: SICNF) (the “Company” or “Sokoman”) is pleased to announce that diamond drilling operations are ongoing with two rigs, including the proposed drilling on North Pond, which began late last week.

Highlights:

To date, 12 holes, totaling approximately 2,500 m, have been completed utilizing two rigs, including two holes (MH-19-52 and 53) from the surface of North Pond.

MH-19-52 cut a 2.50 m* wide visible gold bearing quartz vein starting at 91 m down-hole, in a broader section of weak to moderate deformation up to 10 m* thick.

MH-19-53, drilled on the same section approximately 50 m up-dip, encountered a more intense structure over a 12 m* width beginning at 28 m down-hole that carried broken and disrupted sections of visible gold bearing quartz veining up to 0.30 m thick.

The rig has been moved 25m north of MH-19-52 and 53 and will begin drilling a three- hole section through the shear zone focusing on depths between 50 and 100 m below surface and will attempt to extend northwards, the mineralization believed to have been largely missed by the section hosting MH-18-19 and 20.

MH-19-50, drilled on the same section as MH-18-01, intersected approximately 5 m of quartz veining with disseminated sulphide mineralization and at least 1 speck of VG beginning at 146.50 m down-hole.

MH-19-45, 46 and 48 were drilled from the East side of North Pond targeting the down dip extension of the shear zone hosting mineralization intersected in MH-18-34 and 37; all three holes intersected the east dipping shear zone with thicknesses of up to 24 m with variable amounts of quartz veining and sulphide mineralization; locally, mafic dikes have intruded along the shear zone.

Two holes were also completed (MH-19-43, 44) in the vicinity of historical hole MH-04- 02, 500 m south of the main Eastern Trend, where previous operators noted the presence of fine visible gold in irregular veined zones hosted by strong shear/fault zones up to 10 m in thickness (maximum assay of 0.27 m @ 2.19 g/t Au). Both holes intersected sheared and veined rock similar to 04-02 (no VG noted) and samples have been submitted for assay.

(*Drilled thicknesses reported from Phase 3 holes are believed to be nearly 100% of true thicknesses. Logging and sampling of many of the noted holes is ongoing, therefore sections will be provided once logging and sampling has been completed).

Diamond drilling on North Pond is currently drilling the third hole from the ice surface. The first two holes (MH-19-52 and 53) were designed to verify the location and thickness of the section containing the discovery hole MH-18-01 at approximately the same level as the discovery intersection (approximately 70 m below surface).

The mineralization observed in MH-19-52 and 53 is typical of the high-grade veins in previous holes, includes multiple (>20 specks in MH-19-52) sights of mm size visible gold, associated with stylolitic veining with minor amounts of pyrite, sphalerite, boulangerite and arsenopyrite.

There are currently between 24 and 27 inches of ice over most of the southern portion of North Pond, sufficient to support a single rig and limited support equipment. Ice thickness and its condition are being monitored continuously during the drilling operations as a safety precaution.

The Company is also pleased to report that a detailed magnetic survey, which was commissioned after receipt of the Earth Tectonics structural report, has outlined potentially significant anomalies that may represent extensions and/or repetitions of the gold mineralized Shear Zone identified by Earth Tectonics in January 2019 (see attached map). The high-grade intercepts to date all appear to have a strong spatial relationship to magnetic lows as shown on the magnetic plot (i.e. MH-18-17, etc.). The Shear Zone, as defined by Earth Tectonics, shows a close spatial relationship to an area of magnetic low intensity (lighter colours). The land-based rig is currently testing the pair of subparallel structures defined by the magnetic survey under the northern portion of North Pond with 50 to 100 m spaced sections. A total of four holes (MH-19- 47, 49, 51 and 54) have been completed by the land-based rig to depths of 268 m testing the magnetic anomalies, and have intersected significant zones of deformation and wide zones (up to 20 m drilled thickness) of intense quartz veining with variable sulphide content spatially associated with the linear magnetic anomalies (lows). No assays have been received to date and detailed logging and sampling is ongoing.

Timothy Froude, P. Geo., President and CEO, stated: “After a slow start to the ice-based program due to unseasonably mild temperatures and rain in January, we have finally begun testing the Eastern Zone mineralization and the geological model put forth by Earth Tectonics. We are also excited about the recent magnetic survey which has defined multiple structures that could represent extensions or repetitions of the high-grade shear zone. The limited drilling to date (two holes) on North Pond has shown that the shear zone is variable in intensity and thickness. It appears to “weave” with fluctuating dips, and in certain sections, it appears to feather or become branch-like. These are characteristics common to shear zones and continued drilling will allow for better definition of the fault system.”

Sokoman Iron Acquires A 100% Interest In Moosehead Gold Project

Sokoman Iron Acquires a 100% Interest in Moosehead Gold Project

St. John’s, NL, February 1, 2019 – Sokoman Iron Corp. (TSX-V: SIC) (OTCQB: SICNF) (the “Company” or “Sokoman”) is pleased to announce that it now owns a 100% interest in the Moosehead Gold Property, subject to a 2% NSR, having spent a required minimum of $500,000 in exploration expenditures as operator within the first year as per its option agreement (the “Option”) with Altius Resources Inc.

Under the terms of an agreement announced on November 9, 2017 and approved by TSX Venture Exchange on March 23, 2018, Sokoman had the exclusive right to acquire a 100% interest in Altius’ high-grade Moosehead Gold Project in central Newfoundland, in part by committing to $500,000.00 in exploration expenditures within the first year of agreement.

Tim Froude, President and CEO commented: “This is a significant milestone for Sokoman and its shareholders. Altius has notified us of the transfer of ownership, and the transfer of License was approved by the Minister of Natural Resources. The Moosehead project consists of 98 claims encompassing 24.5 square kilometres. Our exploration activities to date include some 50 diamond drill holes (~9,500 m) that are being incorporated, along with historic assays, into a 3D software program to view and model the mineralized zones. Recently completed Phase 2 drilling has returned multiple high-grade intersections including 24.90 m grading 33.56 grams per tonne gold from the newly discovered Eastern Trend Shear Zone. The recent preliminary report on the structure of the Eastern Trend has greatly improved our understanding of the high-grade shear zone at the Eastern Trend and will guide exploration on that front. Phase 3 diamond drilling has begun and will focus on the Eastern Trend high grade shear zone as well as selected high priority targets elsewhere on the property.”

Altius, and a private, arms-length third party, will retain a combined 2.0% NSR royalty (1.5% to Altius) and certain preferential rights on any future royalties or streams granted on the Moosehead property, and will be granted a pro rata right to participate in future equity financings of Sokoman for three years. Altius and Sokoman will have the right to include as part of the property any additional claims acquired by them within a two kilometre area of interest.

Report On Structural Analysis Of The Eastern Trend Moosehead Pro

SOKOMAN REPORTS FINAL ASSAYS FROM PHASE 2 DRILLING AND

RECEIVES REPORT ON STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF THE EASTERN TREND

MOOSEHEAD PROJECT, NL

St. John’s, NL; January 31, 2019 – Sokoman Iron Corp. (‘Sokoman’ or ‘the Company’) (TSX-V: SIC) is pleased to announce that it has received all outstanding assay results for drill holes completed during the Phase 2 diamond drill program on the high-grade Moosehead Gold Project in north-central Newfoundland. The results are mainly from the Western Trend and historical targets up to 1 kilometre to the north and south of the Western Trend. The results also include assays from infill sampling from MH-18-39, and two holes not previously reported on from the Eastern Trend, MH-18-37 and 40. All core intersections from the Phase 2 drilling that were thought to have intersected high-grade mineralization based on quartz veining and visible gold sightings, were cut and rush assayed in December 2018 with results reported in the December 14, 2018 News Release. The full results are in a table appended to this news release.

The Company is also pleased to announce that the Phase 3 diamond drilling will begin immediately and will focus on targets identified from a preliminary structural evaluation recently completed on the Eastern Trend. While the ice thickness on North Pond is currently not sufficient to support drilling equipment, extensions to the Eastern Trend can be tested by land-based drilling. In the meantime, the Company will continue with efforts to increase ice thicknesses, by flooding, at North Pond.

Eastern Trend Highlights include the intersections below (core lengths reported, true widths vary from 60% to 100% of intersected widths):

MH-18-40 14.70m @ 0.98 g/t Au incl., 0.65m @ 13.00 g/t Au

MH-18-39 9.05m @ 70.29 g/t Au (incl., 5.10m @ 124.21 g/t Au previously reported)

MH-18-37 3.70m @ 0.92 g/t Au incl., 0.70 m @ 2.45 g/t Au

Additional sampling in MH-18-39 immediately up-hole from the previously reported 5.10m high-grade section returned low grade gold values for an additional 3.95m including 1.40m @ 1.34 g/t Au. Sampling immediately downhole from the 5.10 high grade intercept returned only anomalous gold values to a maximum of 94 ppb. The revised intersection is: 9.05m @70.29 g/t Au from 75.45m downhole. Results from holes MH-18-37 and 40 suggest they did not properly intersect the plane of the newly recognized Eastern Trend shear zone.

Structural Analysis – Eastern Trend

In early January, 2019, the Company commissioned an analysis of the structural setting and possible controls of the high-grade, gold bearing system at the Eastern Trend. The preliminary study (final report in progress), was completed by Earth Tectonics Limited, the same firm that completed the 2016 structural report on the Moosehead property for then owner Altius Resources Inc. The 2016 report revealed that high-grade veins in the Western Trend were oriented East-West, nearly parallel to the direction of most of the historical drilling, thus calling into question the value of the earlier drilling. The structural analysis utilizes data from the Company’s 2018 televiewer survey, as well as the examination and relogging of holes recently completed on the Eastern Trend including MH-18-01. The report has identified the following features of the Eastern Trend:

The highest-grade intersections (e.g. MH-18-01, 17 and 39) occur in a ductile-brittle Shear Zone of uncertain width which has an overall dip of 50 degrees East and a strike trend of 010 degrees which is largely untested and of unknown strike length and depth extent;

The Shear Zone is a large-scale, kilometric, structure of uncertain regional strike trend beyond the small drilled area and with possible links to the regional faults/thrusts bounding the gold district. This may be the most important structure in the local district, and the central axis of the Au system. Strike continuations of this structure are unknown and undrilled. As well as along the strike continuation, the best potential may be at depth where the structure roots into the regional NE striking thrust faults.

Gold is occurring in two different styles and geometries of structures which need to be evaluated with carefully oriented drilling of each type;

The newly defined local orientation of the shear zone provides an explanation for the distribution of both the high-grade drill intercepts and the lower grade intercepts in the Eastern Trend, with the lower grade intersections drilled either just above or below the shear zone (e.g. MH-18-16, 18, 37, 40);

The shear zone has two internal shear and fabric elements, a 20-30 degree East dip and a 50-70 degree East dip, in an overall 45 to 50 degree dipping zone. The internal shear pattern may locally control the Au grade whilst the geometry of the shear sets suggests that structural ore shoots within the plane of the shear zone may be shallow plunging with lower grade zones between them.

Timothy Froude, P. Geo. and President and CEO of Sokoman Iron states; “The 7,643 metre, thirty-five hole, Phase 2 drilling campaign has expanded the footprint of both the Western and Eastern Trends, with key step-outs to the North and South of the Eastern Trend discovery hole, MH-18-01, as well as in the up-dip direction with the zone remaining open. In addition, the preliminary report from Earth Tectonics presents a positive view of the Eastern Trend mineralization and its potential, portions of which can be drilled from the east side of North Pond thus lessening the dependence on an “ice based” platform. The surface projection of the newly defined shear zone lies along the western shoreline of North Pond where previous workers have reported clusters of visible gold bearing quartz float assaying from 19 to 149 g/t Au, supporting the interpreted projection of the shear zone. Land-based drilling will commence immediately and will use the structural report for drill targeting in addition to high priority areas to the south. Once ice conditions are deemed safe, drilling from the ice surface to test other sections of the Eastern Zone will begin using a second rig.”

Western Trend Highlights Include (core thickness):

MH-18-28 2.00m @ 3.34 g/t Au, incl. 0.33m @ 11.76 g/t Au;

MH-18-31 1.40m @ 3.87 g/t Au, incl. 0.40m @ 13.07 g/t Au;

MH-18-32 1.35m @ 17.01 g/t Au, incl. 0.40m @ 38.58 g/t Au;

MH-18-36 5.85m @ 1.12 g/t Au, incl. 0.30m @16.48 g/t Au;

Additional Targets

Phase 2 drilling also resulted in the discovery of a potentially significant new zone of gold mineralization in MH-10-103, located approximately 1 km to the north of the Eastern Trend in the general vicinity of a cluster of historical quartz vein boulders that were drill tested by previous operators in 2002. Historical drill hole MH-02-39 reported an eight metre zone of quartz breccia and veining with assays of 552 ppb Au over 2.3 m* in a broader zone of anomalous gold values. (*Values reported are historical in nature and not verified by Sokoman Iron Corp.) Previously reported MH-18-103, collared 30 metres ahead (west) of MH-02-39, intersected the brecciated zone, but continued beyond the termination of the 2002 drill hole and intersected a second, more strongly mineralized (3-5% pyrite/sphalerite/boulangerite + 1 speck of visible gold) vein zone over a 2.40 m core length, similar in appearance to the Western Trend (true thickness unknown). The interval returned an average grade of 1.01 g/t Au, lower than anticipated, but not unexpected given the nuggety nature of gold mineralization on the property. Additional drilling included two step-out holes MH-18-107 and 109, 25 m to the north and south respectively, of MH-18-103. Both holes intersected only anomalous gold values, however, the Company believes that the source of the high-grade float is local and will consider additional work in the area.

Two holes (MH-18-41 and 42) have been drilled down-dip (25 and 40 m respectively) from historical hole MH-02-34 located 500 m to the south of the Eastern Trend intersections. Historical hole MH-02-34 returned a 5.50 m interval (core length from 67.64 m down-hole) averaging 4.15 g/t Au, including 1.05 m at 18.31 g/t Au* (with 28 total specks of gold reported). MH-18-41 reported 4 specks of visible gold between 91.50 and 93.90 m down-hole and returned a 7.20 m section with two mineralized intervals assaying: 2.29 g/t Au over 0.60 m from 91.05m downhole, and 1.43 g/t Au over 1.10m from 93.70m downhole, again reflecting the unpredictability of visible gold (all core thicknesses, true thickness not known). The company intends to test other property wide high priority targets while evaluating results to date from areas already tested. *Values reported are historical in nature and not verified by Sokoman Iron Corp.

QA/QC

A total of 2148 samples, including duplicates, blanks and standards, have been submitted to Eastern Analytical Ltd. in Springdale, Newfoundland for gold and ICP analysis. Samples with possible visible gold were submitted for total pulp metallics and gravimetric finish. All other samples were analyzed by standard fire assay methods. Eastern Analytical is an accredited assay lab that conforms to requirements of ISO/IEC 17025. Total pulp metallic analysis is a result of a whole sample being crushed to -10 mesh and pulverized to 95% -150 mesh. The total sample is then weighed and screened 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. A calculated weighted average of total Au in the sample is reported as well. The Company included in the sample stream one blank and one industry approved standard for every twenty samples submitted, as well as random duplicates of selected samples. This is in addition to the in-house standard and duplicate policy of Eastern Analytical.

Sokoman Iron Announces Phase 2 Drilling At Moosehead, Central Nl

SOKOMAN IRON ANNOUNCES START OF FIELD PREPARATIONS FOR PHASE 2 DRILLING AT MOOSEHEAD, CENTRAL NEWFOUNDLAND

St. John’s, NL, September 19, 2018 – Sokoman Iron Corp. (“Sokoman” or “the Company”) (TSX-V: SIC) is pleased to announce that it has awarded the Moosehead Project Phase 2 diamond drilling contract to Springdale Forest Resources (Diamond Drilling Division) of Springdale, NL, and that site preparations will begin immediately.

The proposed program will consist of up to 10,000 metres of NQ-sized core utilizing two diamond drill rigs operating 24 hours a day with two shifts per rig. At least 50% of the proposed meterage will focus on the Eastern and Western Trends to follow up and expand on the very successful Phase 1 program completed last month, with the exact number of holes to be determined by results received.

Rig #1 is expected to commence drilling on or about October 1, 2018 and will focus on the Eastern Trend area immediately surrounding the high-grade intercept from MH-18-01 which cut 11.90 m @ 44.96 g/t Au (core thickness) from the Eastern Trend (see NR July 24, 2018). A series of approximately 15 m to 25 m spaced bracket and undercut holes will be completed to depths of 250 to 300 metres to establish a strike, dip and/or plunge of the high-grade intercept reported from MH-18-01. These same holes will also target the historical intercept from MH-03-15 of 0.45 m of 278 g/t Au from drilling completed in 2003, which remains the deepest intercept to date (200 m vertically) on the property, and which was the original target of MH-18-01.

Rig #1 will also expand on open-ended mineralization in the Western Trend testing for extensions of near surface (less than 50 metres depth), high-grade gold bearing quartz veins similar to veins intersected by MH-18-08 which cut two vein zones assaying 1.05 m @ 207.51 g/t Au from 8.50 m downhole, and 2.28 m @ 42.36 g/t Au from 33.07 m downhole (see NR August 29, 2018).

Rig #2 will commence drilling approximately one week after Rig #1 and will be largely testing high-priority targets outlined by historical drilling elsewhere along the two-kilometre-long, roughly north south trending North Pond, South Pond and Discovery Faults. A total of 20-30 holes ranging from 100 to 300 metres in depth will test targets up to one kilometre north and south of the core area defined by the Western and Eastern Trends. The Western Trend is located between these key faults while the Eastern Trend appears to lie just east of the main structures and may be lying on a previously unrecognized structure. These targets include multiple historical drill holes that reported visible gold but had limited or no follow-up drilling.

The program is expected to take two months to complete, however, certain targets may be more effectively and environmentally responsibly tested when the ground is frozen.

The Company expects to release drilling results in batches as the program progresses.
