Sokoman Advised That Killick Lithium Project Announces Academic Research Partnership with Research Grants Awarded Totaling $1.32 Million over 3 Years

ST. JOHN'S, NL, June 19, 2024, Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SIC) (OTCQB: SICNF) (“Sokoman” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that the Killick Lithium Property, jointly owned by the Company, Benton Resources Inc. ("Benton"), and Piedmont Lithium Inc. ("Piedmont") through Vinland Lithium Inc., will be collaborating in a total of $1.322 million in NSERC (Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada) grants to conduct research studies on the Killick Lithium Property in southern Newfoundland. The three-year project entitled: "The origin of lithium resources in Southern Newfoundland", began April 1, 2024. The work is led by researchers from St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia and Memorial University of Newfoundland. Additional contributions from partner organizations will include staff and resources from Sokoman, Benton and Piedmont, as well as geoscientists from the Geological Survey (Government of Newfoundland and Labrador). The grant was awarded by the NSERC Alliance Missions Grants special call for projects related to Critical Minerals Research. To increase the supply of responsibly sourced critical minerals and support the development of domestic and global value chains for the green and digital economy, Canada's Critical Minerals Strategy was released in December 2022 with the intent of continuing to provide foundational support to Canada's mining sector to take advantage of existing and emerging opportunities. Among the 31 minerals that Canada considers critical, Canada's Critical Minerals Strategy identified six minerals (including lithium) which were initially prioritized for their distinct potential to spur Canadian economic growth and their necessity as inputs for priority supply chains.

More information about the program can be found here: https://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/Innovate-Innover/AllianceMissions-MissionsAlliance/CFP-ADP/CMR-RSLMC/Index_eng.asp

A key benefit of this research will be the opportunity for research students to receive academic training and apply their knowledge to an active exploration project. The students will be trained in field methods, data collection techniques, and scientific communication, which are highly sought-after skills required for qualified geoscientists to undertake mineral exploration and geoscience research on critical mineral systems in Canada.

Timothy Froude, P. Geo., President and CEO of Sokoman Minerals states; "We are thrilled this academic collaboration was awarded this substantial amount of funding directed towards the understanding of the lithium and associated critical mineral systems we discovered on the Killick Lithium Project. It's the type of work that rarely gets performed on mineral discoveries, as most of the funds raised and spent in the normal course of the vast majority of exploration projects are focused on delivering assays and drill results to the market. The in-depth research that the teams led by Dr. Donnelly Archibald at St. Francis Xavier University and Drs Eric Thiessen and David Lowe at Memorial University, in harmony with the partner organizations, will certainly aid in our search for additional lithium and associated critical minerals at Killick as well as regionally."

Stephen Stares, President and CEO of Benton states; "We are elated that such a highly skilled team of professionals will assist in advancing the understanding of our discovery through the critical mineral initiatives set forth by our various institutions. We look forward to the findings in our collective participation."

The main research objective is to better understand the geological controls on the formation of lithium-rich rocks in southern Newfoundland to better inform exploration targeting practices and promote lithium discovery. Addressing this primary objective involves a multidisciplinary investigation into (i) the processes controlling the transport of lithium from its source to host rocks, (ii) the magmatic emplacement processes that resulted in the formation of the lithium-rich rocks, (iii) the lithium source(s), (iv) structure and deformation that controls the present expression of lithium-rich rocks, and (v) the character and extent of associated metamorphic aureoles. The combination of fieldwork, mineralogy, geochronology, geochemistry, structural geology, regional geology, tectonics, sedimentology, and economic geology will yield a holistic model for the evolution of lithium pegmatite systems. Taken together, the new data and interpretations, coupled with the spatiotemporal relationship of regional geological context, will help us to understand the petrogenesis of lithium pegmatites in southern Newfoundland.

Stephen House (P.Geo.), Vice President of Exploration for Benton Resources Inc., the 'Qualified Person' under National Instrument 43-101, has approved the scientific and technical disclosure in this news release and prepared or supervised its preparation.

Sokoman Minerals Updates Moosehead Gold Project, Central Newfoundland

Metallic pulp assays from winter 2024 drilling program, MOU with Novamera Inc.

St. John’s, NL, May 23, 2024 – Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SIC) (OTCQB: SICNF) (“Sokoman” or the “Company”) is pleased to report metallic pulp gold assay results from winter drilling at the 552 Zone, as well as assays from a section of the Footwall Splay. These drill holes were targeted as a possible bulk sample location, linked to the recently signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Novamera Inc. ("Novamera"). The MOU is focused on modeling the near-surface portion of the Footwall Splay Zone for a possible bulk sample using Novamera's proprietary drilling and bulk sampling technology.

Footwall Splay

Drilling confirmed strong, near-surface gold values, including 10.25 m at 84.69 g/t Au from 53.90 m downhole in MH-23-166A, in the down-plunge portion of the Zone.

Highlight Drill Results - Moosehead Project - Footwall Splay / 552 Zone

*Core length - true widths are estimated to be approximately 90% of the core length

552 Zone

Ten drill holes gave mixed results although most intersected the 552 structure. The highest grades were in quartz veining - MH-24-588 - 2.20 m / 6.07 g/t Au at 57.75 m downhole and 2.75 m at 5.94 g/t Au at 100.85 m downhole, with the second intersection the first visible gold (VG) found in deformed mafic volcanics on the property (see the section for the location of the new vein in proximity to the previously modeled 552 vein). The intersection in the volcanics highlights additional prospective areas in the easternmost, underexplored, portion of the Moosehead property. The 552 zone carries VG-bearing quartz veins on both the east and west margins. Drilling will continue after the spring break up in approximately three to four weeks.

Novamera Inc.

Novamera's guidance tool provides a high-resolution 3-D model of the quartz veins by detecting veins up to 4 m off hole in all directions. As part of the initial setup process, Novamera requested the drilling of two holes (MH-23-166A and B) from an area of the Footwall Splay, which was surveyed by Novamera to calibrate their guidance tool. The holes were drilled proximal to MH-23-166, selected as the test area based on a high-grade intersection at the bedrock surface - 5.10 m of 15.51 g/t Au at 9 m downhole. Novamera used the two new holes and the original hole for calibration. A mineralization model, being developed, will include surveying of additional holes later this spring.

The bulk sample method being considered is a "surgical" mining method in which a large (1-2 m) diameter drill bit is used to recover the high-grade, VG-bearing quartz veins, greatly reducing the environmental impact and decreasing the time required for permitting.

The permitting process will begin when the 3D modeling and extraction plan is completed in the coming months. The holes were assayed for grade control at Eastern Analytical in Springdale, Newfoundland and Labrador.

Timothy Froude, P. Geo., President and CEO of Sokoman Minerals, states, "We are pleased to announce the MOU with Novamera as part of our efforts to advance the Moosehead gold project. The results of the initial work have confirmed the area for a bulk sample by demonstrating strong gold grades in the Footwall Splay. The MOU is not a commitment for a bulk sample; rather, it is a process to determine if a bulk sample can be taken efficiently and cost-effectively. There is no obligation on Sokoman's part to complete all the stages as defined in its MOU with Novamera."

Sokoman Minerals Commences 2024 Exploration Program at the Fleur de Lys Gold Project, Northwestern Newfoundland

St. John’s, NL, May 16, 2024 – Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SIC) (OTCQB: SICNF) (“Sokoman” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that the 2024 exploration program at the 100%-owned Fleur de Lys gold project has commenced. An earlier-than-normal snow melt over the northern and central Baie Verte Peninsula has allowed prospecting to begin a full month earlier than usual. The program will begin on areas of active logging around the Golden Bull Prospect, discovered in 2023, and as the weather improves extend to other target areas.

The Golden Bull Prospect consists of 35 rock grab samples of variably banded, stylolitic, quartz blocks, some weighing several tonnes (Photo 1) (see news release dated October 4, 2023). Seventeen samples with moderate to strong stylolitic banding (Photo 2), gave Au values >500 ppb (0.50 g/t Au) to a high of 9,020 ppb (9.02 g/t Au). The Prospect lies in a larger area (Map 1) of anomalous till and soil geochemistry defined by Sokoman in 2023, where geochemical and geophysical (VLF-EM) anomalies are shown in historical work by Noranda Inc. in the late 1980s.

A crew has been mobilized to prospect the newly logged areas to define drill targets planned for the third quarter of 2024. The initial drilling will be a 2,000 m program of holes from 50 m to 150 m testing surface geochemical and geophysical anomalies mainly in the Golden Bull area.

Timothy Froude, P.Geo., President, and CEO of Sokoman states; “We are pleased to announce the start of the 2024 field program at the Fleur de Lys gold project, on the Baie Verte Peninsula of Newfoundland. The early start will help us get the data we need to focus as quickly as we can on the Phase 1 drill targets at Golden Bull. Most of the initial drilling will be in a 2 km by 1.5 km area defined as the Golden Bull Prospect. In the meantime, we still have many unexplained till geochemical anomalies elsewhere on the property that we will be working on as part of the 2024 program to define Phase 2 drill targets for later this year or early 2025.”

Sokoman Minerals Update on Moosehead Gold Project, Central Newfoundland

Structural Consultant Dr. David Coller On-site

ST.JOHN'S, NL, April 16, 2024, Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SIC) (OTCQB: SICNF) (“Sokoman” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that structural consultant Dr. David Coller is on-site at the Moosehead gold property to update the structural model and to help plan for deeper drilling later this year. The Phase 6 program is winding down for spring breakup with assay results for 12 holes remaining outstanding and expected in two to three weeks. Drilling will resume once all assays have been received, compiled, and included in Dr. Coller's updated structural model.

Timothy Froude, P. Geo., President and CEO states; "We are very pleased to have Dr. Coller back and look forward to receiving his recommendations for continued drilling at Moosehead. Dr. Coller has been involved with the project since our first year and has been instrumental in guiding us to several significant high-grade discoveries. Currently, Dr. Coller and Sokoman's geological team are evaluating drill sections from the recently discovered 552 Zone to characterize the mineralization, to determine the significance of the zone and what it means for future exploration. We are also happy to have Dr. Hamish Sandeman of the Geological Survey of Newfoundland with us, to update us on the government's advanced research (with the Geological Survey of Canada) aimed at understanding the genesis of gold mineralization in Central Newfoundland and, potentially, helping to locate new gold zones. Dr. Sandeman has worked in the central Newfoundland region for many years and is considered one of the province's top geoscientists especially with regards to gold mineral deposits in Newfoundland."

Recent drill results at the 552 Zone include MH-23-574 - 2.10 m of 5.00 g/t Au, and MH-24-580 - 2.05 m of 8.31 g/t Au incl. 0.50 m of 27.79 g/t Au. Both holes had multiple specks of visible gold, a characteristic of all the high-grade zones on the property. The 552 drilling has defined a two- to five-metre-wide zone of vuggy (epizonal) quartz veining/quartz breccia, in variably sheared, to undeformed, sedimentary units located approximately 400 m to the east of the Eastern Trend mineralization in the central portion of the property. The 552 Zone has been drilled over a 150 m strike length and to 125 m vertical depth and remains open along strike and to depth.

Sokoman is completing drilling at both the 552 Zone and several short holes (30 m - 50 m depth) up dip of the Footwall Splay Zone, which has been identified as a possible bulk sample target area.

Sokoman Minerals Signs LOI with Campden Hill Holdings Pty Ltd on the Iron Horse Property, Labrador

ST.JOHN'S, NL, April 4, 2024, Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SIC) (OTCQB: SICNF) (“Sokoman” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that pending TSX Venture approval it has agreed, pursuant to a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Australian-based, private company Campden Hill Holdings Pty Ltd (Campden Hill), to provide Campden Hill with an option to purchase the Iron Horse property (the “Property”) from Sokoman Minerals Corp. Campden Hill is controlled by an investment group with experience in mineral exploration and investment in multiple jurisdictions globally, including more than a decade in investing across various commodities in Canada.

The Property is in the eastern portion of the Labrador Trough, Canada’s most prolific iron ore producing region. The Property is host to significant iron deposits and has critical mineral showings of uranium and rare earth elements (REEs).

The Property was staked in 2011 as a joint venture between Golden Dory Resources (now Sokoman Minerals Corp.) and Metals Creek Resources (“Metals Creek”) to evaluate the uranium potential of the area. Initial prospecting identified iron ore potential, and in 2012, Sokoman acquired 100% ownership (subject to net smelter return royalties) from Metals Creek. Diamond drilling (eight holes) testing the iron ore potential intersected significant thicknesses of iron mineralization as taconite, including a 354 m intercept grading ~28% Fe. Direct Shipping Ore (DSO) potential was also noted, with assays of 53% Fe from parts of the Property. Following the extended decline in iron ore prices over the past decade, the iron ore exploration was ended and the Property was placed on care and maintenance as a non-core asset.

Timothy Froude, P. Geo., President and CEO of Sokoman, states: “We are happy to have found a quality partner for the Iron Horse project. We look forward to working with Campden Hill, including offering logistical and technical support, to evaluate and advance the Property. This transaction allows Sokoman to remain focused on its flagship gold projects at Moosehead and Fleur de Lys and continue its strategy of finding quality partners to share the risk and reward on its other holdings. This strategy follows the recent deal for the former Golden Hope Project (now Killick Lithium) and four other property deals with various partners across Newfoundland.”

James Thompson, Director of Campden Hill, states: “We are pleased to be able to work with the Sokoman team as we look to further explore and develop the Iron Horse project in conjunction with our neighbouring land package in Labrador.”

The letter agreement (the “Agreement”) describes the terms upon which Sokoman Minerals Corp. (the “Optionor” or “Sokoman”) has agreed to provide Campden Hill Holdings Pty Limited (the “Optionee”), or its permitted transferee, with an option to acquire 100% of the Iron Horse Property in Labrador, Canada, 23 claims held by Sokoman, more particularly described as follows:

Summary of Terms of Option;

Subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Optionor agrees to provide the Optionee with the option to purchase, all right, title and interest in, the Property (the “Option”), subject to underlying NSR obligations. During the term of this Agreement, all expenditures and reports required to maintain the Property in good standing will be the responsibility of the Optionee.

The aggregate price to exercise the Option is three hundred thousand Canadian dollars (CAD$300,000) with potential for a future bonus payment of up to CAD$500,000 which will be payable by the Optionee to the Optionor in accordance with Section 1 as follows:

a) CAD$20,000 (Deposit) within 5 days of the date of execution of this Agreement for an exclusive three-month Due Diligence Period;

b) CAD$100,000 (the “Initial Option Exercise Payment”) in cash or shares (at election of Optionee) during the three-month period following the date of execution of this Agreement together with delivery of the Option Notice;

c) CAD$180,000 (“Year 1 Payment”) comprising CAD$30,000 in cash and CAD$150,000 in cash or shares (at election of the Optionee) on the date that is no later than twelve months following the payment of the Initial Option Exercise Payment;

d) CAD$500,000 (“Bonus Payment”) in cash or shares (at election of the Optionee) on the date that a bankable feasibility study is completed.

Sokoman Minerals Expands 552 Zone at Moosehead Gold Project, Central Newfoundland

First significant gold occurrence in volcanic rocks

ST.JOHN'S, NL, March 28, 2024, Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SIC) (OTCQB: SICNF) is pleased to report total pulp metallics assay results from the first three holes completed as part of the current drilling program at the 552 Zone. A total of 1825 m has been completed in the current program to date (12 holes) and visible gold has been intersected in five of the holes. Approximately 300 m of drilling remains in the current program including 150 m proposed in three holes in the upper portion of the Footwall Splay where gaps exist in the current geological model linking the zone to surface. The Footwall Splay has returned some of the highest grades on the Moosehead property including MH-20-115 (4.60 m grading 47.20 g/t Au from 64.0 m downhole), and MH-21-163 (5.10 m grading 30.83 g/t Au from 45.0 m downhole).

The three holes being reported today (MH-24-578 to 580), all drilled on the same section (same setup) encountered the 552 structure with the deepest hole, MH-24-580, cutting a 2.05 m zone at 53.70 m downhole that included two 0.30 to 0.50 m intervals with up to 30 specks of fine (sub-millimetre) visible gold. The intersection is highlighted by a 1.65 m interval averaging 10.21 g/t Au, including a 0.50 m section grading 27.78 g/t Au.

Drilling Highlights from 552 Zone
Note: reported thicknesses are believed to be 90% of true thickness

MH-24-578 0.68 g/t Au over 0.85 m from 40.60 m downhole
MH-24-579 3.07 g/t Au over 1.25 m from 40.85 m downhole
MH-24-580 8.31 g/t Au over 2.05 m including; 10.21 g/t Au over 1.65 m,
including 27.79 g/t Au over 0.50 m from 53.70 m downhole

The three-hole section lies 30 m west of the previously reported MH-23-574 (see February 14, 2024 news release) that cut 2.10 m of 5.0 g/t Au with 12 specks of sub-millimetre visible gold noted. The current diamond drilling program (minimum 2000 m of HQ-size drill core) will focus on testing at least 150 m of strike and 125 m of depth (vertically) of the 552 Zone. Drilling to date at 552 has defined a continuous, roughly east-west trending, two- to five-metre-wide zone of locally vuggy (epizonal), quartz veining/quartz breccia, locally with 2%-3% disseminated sphalerite, boulangerite and chalcopyrite, in variably sheared to locally undeformed sedimentary units approximately 400 m east of the main Eastern Trend mineralization and 100 m southeast of the 253 Zone.

Timothy Froude, P. Geo., President and CEO states; “This is the first significant occurrence of gold in volcanic rocks we have seen on the property and will be targeted aggressively. We are pleased to see grades continuing to improve within the 552 Zone and that the Zone remains open in all directions. Of note is that at the expected depth of 58.0 m, MH-24-588 intersected a 1.3 m vein with 3 flecks of visible gold. It occurs at the contact between deformed mafic volcanics and sandstone. Previous intersections in the 552 Zone occur proximal to mafic dykes but not at the mafic volcanic contact. Its orientation is similar to that of the other 552 Zone intersections and its mineralogy of darker-brown sphalerite and elevated arsenopyrite also supports this conclusion. Given this development, MH-24-588 was deepened through the deformed mafic volcanics and intersected a 0.90 m vein at 102.20 m with up to 14 flecks of visible gold with sphalerite and arsenopyrite. The initial orientation data and mineralogy support it being related to the 552 Zone.”

**552 Zone intersection in MH-24-580 featuring brecciated upper contact in the top row (8.16 g/t Au over 0.30 m) and laminated high-grade section (27.78 g/t Au over 0.50 m) in the lower row.**

Sokoman Minerals Reports Visible Gold in Two of the First Three Holes From 552 Zone Winter Program at the Moosehead Gold Project, Central Newfoundland

ST.JOHN'S, NL, February 29, 2024, Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SIC) (OTCQB: SICNF) is pleased to report that two of the first three holes of the winter drill program at the 552 Zone have intersected quartz veins with visible gold. All three holes (MH-24-578 to 580), drilled on the same section from the same setup, encountered the 552 structure, with the deepest hole, MH-24-580 cutting a 2.0 m zone that included two 0.30 m to 0.50 m intervals, with up to 30 specks of fine (sub-millimetre) visible gold. All assays are pending.

Timothy Froude, P.Geo., President and CEO states; "We are pleased with the progress on the winter program at the 552 Zone. We will continue the drilling as long as weather and ground conditions allow until spring breakup. The 552 Zone area has seen limited drilling along strike and to depth and it remains open. The relationship between the 552 Zone and 253 Zone, which is located 100 m to the north, is unknown and it will also be tested in the current program which is anticipated to take six to eight weeks to complete."

The three-hole section lies 30 m to the west of MH-23-574 (see news release dated February 14, 2024) that cut 2.10 m of 5.0 g/t Au with 12 specks of sub-millimetre visible gold noted. The winter diamond drilling program is planned for 2,000 m to 2,500 m of HQ drill core focusing on a 150-m strike-length to a depth of 125 m (vertically) of the 552 Zone. Drilling has defined a continuous, roughly northwest trending, two- to five-metre-wide zone of locally vuggy (epizonal), quartz veining/quartz breccia, with 2%-3% disseminated arsenopyrite, sphalerite, boulangerite and chalcopyrite, in variably sheared to undeformed sedimentary units located approximately 400 m to the east of the main Eastern Trend mineralization, and 100 m southeast of the 253 Zone.

It is thought that the 253 Zone which was drilled assuming an east-west orientation, could be a more northerly, subparallel to parallel zone to 552. Additional drilling to the north undercutting the 552 Zone will test this possibility, as well as extend the 552 Zone to depth.

Drilling is also planned to test the upper portion of the Footwall Splay where gaps exist in the geological model linking the zone to surface. The Footwall Splay has returned some of the highest grades on the property including MH-20-115 (4.60 m grading 47.20 g/t Au from 64.0 m downhole), and MH-21-163 (5.10 m grading 30.83 g/t Au from 45.0 m downhole).

Sokoman Resumes Diamond Drilling at the Moosehead Gold Project, Central Newfoundland

Emphasis on Emerging 552 Zone

ST. JOHN'S, NL, February 14, 2024, Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV:SIC)(OTCQB:SICNF) ("Sokoman" or the "Company") is pleased to report that the winter diamond-drilling program has begun, with a focus on extending the recently discovered 552 Zone, 400 m to the east of the main Eastern Trend. The 2,500-metre program will test a 150-metre strike length of the zone to a depth of approximately 125 metres, and will take six to eight weeks to complete. Drilling to date on the 552 Zone has defined a two- to five-metre wide zone of quartz veining and quartz breccia carrying fine free gold, sphalerite, and boulangerite. The best grade was intersected in hole MH-23-574, which returned 5.00 g/t gold over a 2.10 metre core length.

Timothy Froude, P.Geo., President and CEO states: "We are eager to get started on extending the new 552 Zone to depth and along strike. The 552 Zone is extremely important since it represents a new gold-bearing structure on the property. We are confident that the 552 Zone has the potential to host sections of significantly higher grades. Three of the five most recent drill holes carried visible gold within 50 m of the surface. It is very encouraging to see so many similarities with our other high-grade zones."

Sokoman Minerals Corp. Provides a Corporate Update and Confirms Closing of Flow-through and Hard-Dollar Private Placements

St. John’s, NL, January 29, 2024 – Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SIC) (OTCQB: SICNF) (“Sokoman” or the “Company”) announces that it received final regulatory approval and has closed both its flow-through and non-flow-through private placement financings (together the "Financings") issuing 53,892,847 flow-through units and 3,200,000 non-flow-through units at CAD$0.065 each for aggregate gross proceeds of CAD$3,711,035.

Details of the Financings set out in the Company's December 19, 2023 news release remain unchanged.

All securities issued pursuant to the Financings are subject to a four-month and one-day hold period.

The Company will use an amount equal to the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the flow-through units, pursuant to the provisions in the Income Tax Act (Canada), to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" as both terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Qualifying Expenditures") on or before December 31, 2024, and to renounce all of the Qualifying Expenditures in favour of the subscribers of the flow-through units effective December 31, 2023.

Tim Froude, President and CEO of Sokoman Minerals explained that: "The Company intends to undertake a proposed 2,500 m winter drilling program on the flagship Moosehead Gold project, which will commence in about three weeks and will focus on the recently discovered 552 Zone where improved grades and some visible gold has been seen in recent drilling. Drilling is planned to test the down-plunge extent of the 552 Zone and should also intersect any parallel structures, including extensions to the 253 Zone where previous drilling returned 1.56 g/t Au over 1.60 m. Moosehead will require about 75% of the exploration funds raised. Additional drilling will follow based on the results of the winter program. The remaining 25% of the funding will be used for additional prospecting, sampling, and drilling on the 100%-owned Fleur de Lys Gold project where a very angular, visible gold-bearing float was recently discovered at the Golden Bull prospect. A recent site visit to the property confirmed that logging activities performed by a local timber harvester are creating more and better access and a safer and improved work environment across the property, possibly exposing new gold occurrences."

Sokoman Updates the Moosehead Gold Project, Central Newfoundland 552 Zone to be Focus in 2024

St. John’s, NL, January 23, 2024 – Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SIC) (OTCQB: SICNF) (“Sokoman” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on the ongoing exploration at its flagship Moosehead Gold Project. The highlight is the drilling results at the recently discovered 552 Zone, located 400 m to the east of the Eastern Trend, in the central portion of the property. Since receiving the stream crossing permit on November 28, an additional six holes (890 m) have been completed with five intersecting the zone and the sixth collaring in an extensive fault zone (believed to be the Cape Ray - Valentine Lake shear zone), which was terminated after cutting 75 m of intensely deformed volcanic and intrusive units.

The 552 drilling has defined a continuous, two- to five-metre-wide zone of quartz veining/quartz breccia, in variably deformed sedimentary units. Three holes intersected white quartz veins with specks of visible gold (MH-23-572, 574, and 575). The quartz veining is locally vuggy (epizonal type), located in a west-northwest trending, 50- to 70-degree northeast dipping structure. The veins carry trace to 5% sulphide minerals including boulangerite, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, and arsenopyrite, the mineral assemblage common to most gold zones on the property. Drill hole MH-23-557, the fourth hole of the initial four holes on the 552 Zone (MH-23-552, 553, 556, 557 - see news release dated November 2, 2023), intersected the zone giving 1.04 g/t Au over 3.65 m (see table below).

Other completed holes on the property include:

Three reconnaissance holes (MH-23-564, 566, 567) were drilled in the southern portion of the property, testing magnetic features believed to represent favourable structures. None of the holes intersected significant mineralization.
Three reconnaissance holes (MH-23-558, 559, 563) were drilled testing Alpha IP targets located to the east of North Pond. All holes intersected unmineralized structures.
Three holes (MH-23-565, 568, 569) were drilled adjacent to hole MH-96-05, drilled by Royal Oak Mines in 1996, which returned 259 g/t Au from a 10 cm quartz vein. MH-23-565 and 569 did not intersect significant mineralization, while MH-23-568 intersected a shear structure with pyritic quartz. Results are pending for MH-23-568 and 569.
Two holes (MH-23-570, 571) were drilled to test quartz veining in drill hole MH-19-103, where two specks of visible gold were reported in 2019. Weakly mineralized quartz veining with trace to 2% disseminated pyrite, sphalerite, and arsenopyrite was intersected.
Two holes drilled to the northeast of North Pond testing a possible East-West structure defined by magnetics did not intersect significant mineralization.

Table 1 - Assay Results

*Core length - true widths are estimated to be approximately half the core length

MH-23-574 featuring 552 Zone veining - 5.00 g/t Au over 2.10 m (64.55-66.65 m)

Timothy Froude, P. Geo., President, and CEO states; "The 552 Zone is extremely significant as it represents an entirely new gold-bearing structure on the Moosehead property. We are already seeing signs of potentially high-grade mineralization with three of the five most recent holes carrying visible gold all within 50 m of surface. Of significance, is the presence of mineralized float located near the 552 Zone that returned 10.3 g/t Au and is believed to be derived from the 552 Zone. The 552 Zone is 400 m to the east of the main Eastern Trend, and it remains open. The closest mineralization is at the 253 Zone located 150 m north of 552, which is poorly understood and requires additional drilling, and which may represent a parallel zone. Drilling planned to test the down-plunge extent of the 552 Zone in 2024 should also intersect any parallel structures, including extensions to the 253 Zone where previous drilling returned 1.56 g/t Au over 1.60 m. We look forward to testing the 552 Zone in Q1 2024 as any structure with gold has the potential for high-grade gold values as we have seen in every zone on the property. Phase 6 drilling completed now sits at 101,519 m including 20,519 m in 70 holes in 2023. A proposed 2,500 m winter program will commence in about two to three weeks and will focus on the 552 Zone where we are starting to see improved grades and some visible gold."

Sokoman Minerals Drilling Update - Moosehead Gold Project, Central Newfoundland

A New Mineralized Structure, the 552 Zone, Intersected in Four Holes; Remains Open

St. John’s, NL, November 2, 2023 – Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SIC) (OTCQB: SICNF) ("Sokoman" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on the ongoing drilling program at the 100%-owned Moosehead project. Diamond drilling has identified a new mineralized structure 200 m to the east of the Eastern Trend, the furthest east of any mineralization located to date. Dubbed the 552 Zone, after the first hole that cut it, it has an apparent east-west strike, making it close to perpendicular to the Eastern Trend, suggesting that it lies in a similar structural setting as the 463 Zone but above the Eastern Trend, in the hanging wall, whereas the 463 Zone lies in the footwall of the Eastern Trend.

Tim Froude, President and CEO of Sokoman, says: "While not exhibiting high grade to date, the fact that the 552 Zone structure has gold in it is good news as we know we can get variable grades interspersed with higher grades in all zones at Moosehead. On this property, we drill first for structure and then seek out the grade. I am extremely pleased with this development since we see sulphide minerals, commonly associated with the higher-grade Au, including boulangerite and sphalerite and we are looking forward to evaluating this new zone. The presence of gold-bearing structures in MH-23-555 is also very significant as it is a wide step-out hole and confirms the presence of mineralizing fluids in this area and extends the Eastern Trend to the east. We expect to go over the 100,000 m mark in the ongoing Phase 6 program sometime this month and look forward to continued drilling at Moosehead."

The mineralized quartz 552 Zone has been intersected in all four holes (552, 553, 556, and 557) completed, with assays received for three of the four. Boulangerite and sphalerite, minerals associated with Au on the Moosehead property, are noted. The best grade intersected to date is 1.41 g/t Au over 2.9 m in DDH 553 with 1.15 g/t over 2.95 m in DDH 552. The 552 Zone has been tested by two sections of two holes each drilled from the same setup giving a 10-m strike-length, over a vertical range of approximately 25 m. The drilling tested a resistivity high noted in the winter Alpha IP survey with several second-order targets also identified in the general area. A Noranda float sample from the late 1980s, that assayed 10.3 g/t Au, is located close to the 552 Zone. The 552 Zone remains open with approximately 2500 m of drilling planned to test along strike and to depth.

Results include three holes in the Eastern Trend footwall, testing for near surface mineralization in the same orientation as the vein set in the deeper 463 Zone. The 463 Zone returned an earlier intercept of 39.60 m grading 12.50 g/t Au, including 10.5 m @ 41.97 g/t Au (see December 15, 2022 press release). The best results, from MH-23-548, gave 4.89 g/t Au over 3.55 m from 185.75 m downhole (see Table 1 below) ~250 m NW of, and 150 m vertically above, the 463 Zone with a second zone intersected in DDH 548, giving 0.95 g/t Au over 4.20 m. Drilling will continue to test the footwall environment which remains very prospective for additional gold-bearing structures.

Table 1 - Assay Results

Plan view of recent drilling

Reconnaissance holes MH-23-547, 549, 550, and 554 were drilled to test IP targets. Hole MH-23-555 was a 100 m step-out testing the down-plunge projection of the Eastern Trend to the north. There are several zones of deformation in the hole with the strongest structure occurring from 586.4 m - 592.7 m. Here strongly deformed and broken quartz veins and vein fragments occur within a pyritized and broken, light-grey sediment. A second zone of weak deformation occurs from 464.4 m - 475.8 m with upwards of 20% stockwork and stylolitic textured quartz veins. This zone contains anomalous gold with occasional traces of pyrite, sphalerite, and arsenopyrite with a best assay of 0.93 g/t Au over 0.40 m. The presence of multiple structures with mineralogy similar to high-grade zones elsewhere on the property is significant, additional drilling will be recommended for this area.

Sokoman Minerals Reports Visible Gold at Fleur de Lys Gold Project North-Central Newfoundland

Newly Discovered Golden Bull Prospect Reports 9.02 g/t Au

St. John’s, NL, October 4, 2023 – Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SIC) (OTCQB: SICNF) ("Sokoman" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that ongoing exploration at Fleur de Lys has outlined an area of very angular, visible gold-bearing float dubbed the Golden Bull Prospect, measuring 300 m in length and as yet unknown width, with numerous pieces of banded quartz weighing up to several tonnes (see Photo 1). The Golden Bull Prospect is located in the northern portion of the property, four km to the west of the mining town of Baie Verte.

In 1988, Noranda Exploration reported gold from two bedrock occurrences (Castor Pond and Castor Pond North) with grab samples to 7.46 g/t Au, and channel samples to 8.49 g/t Au over 0.40 m, approximately 500 m to the southwest of the Prospect. Noranda drilled a single hole (CP-88-01) at the Castor Pond occurrence, with only anomalous values intersected including 0.42 g/t Au over 0.20 m and 0.30 g/t Au over 0.30 m. Mineralization described in the core log for CP-88-01 (a quartz breccia) does not resemble the Golden Bull Prospect mineralization. No other drilling has been carried out on the property.

Tim Froude, President and CEO of Sokoman, commented: "We see increasing potential for a significant gold deposit with every round of work we do. The Golden Bull Prospect is an example of gold occurrences discovered using basic prospecting methods in the follow-up of our gold in till anomalies. The simple mineralogy, mostly pyrite with gold, is very similar to that of the large, Curraghinalt gold deposit in Northern Ireland which lies in equivalent rocks to those at Fleur de Lys. We are carrying out a detailed B-horizon soil sampling survey in the immediate area of the Golden Bull Prospect and are also considering a high-resolution magnetic survey to identify structures that could host the Golden Bull Prospect veins. We are also delighted to learn that the discovery area is scheduled to be logged throughout the coming winter which will provide additional access, and possibly expose more quartz float and/or the source of the mineralized boulders, saving the Company considerable exploration expense. This additional exploration is critical to help us plan an effective follow-up program including drilling.

The Golden Bull mineralization consists of strongly stylolitic (banded) quartz, with up to 2% disseminated pyrite, arsenopyrite, sphalerite, and minor chalcopyrite. Visible gold is noted (see sample 717819 in Photo 2). Assay results from metallics assays of the grab samples suggest that visible gold is common in the Golden Bull Prospect veins based on the amount of gold reporting to the coarse fraction (+ 150 mesh) with seven samples giving values from 11,131 to 148,603 ppb Au (see table following).

**Note: All rock samples from Fleur de Lys are being assayed by the Total Pulp Metallic Analysis method at Eastern Analytical Ltd. in Springdale, NL.**

Note: The mineralization pictured is not representative of the quartz/pyrite mineralization.

The Fleur de Lys Gold Project

The 100%-owned project is located on the west side of the Baie Verte Peninsula in north-central Newfoundland, an area that has a long history of base metal and gold production dating back to the 1860s. The project area is highly prospective for Dalradian-style (e.g., Curraghinalt*) orogenic, vein-hosted, gold deposits and as such, it is a readily accessible, yet underexplored, district-scale, gold target in the Newfoundland Appalachians. The Fleur de Lys Supergroup, which underlies the project, includes equivalent rocks to the Dalradian Supergroup in the UK, where three significant gold deposits, the Curraghinalt and Cavanacaw deposits in Northern Ireland, and Cononish in Scotland, are found. The Dalradian, vein-hosted, gold deposits occur in moderate to high-grade metamorphic terranes and are typically high grade.

Sokoman Provides Drilling Update - Moosehead Gold Project, Central Newfoundland

St. John’s, NL, September 14, 2023 – Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SIC) (OTCQB: SICNF) ("Sokoman" or the "Company") is pleased to provide the following update on the ongoing drilling program at the 100%-owned Moosehead gold project. Diamond drilling in the 463 Zone and adjoining footwall environment has intersected gold mineralization which helps to determine the plunge of the favourable structure hosting the 463 Zone and other proximal parallel mineralized zones in the footwall under the main Eastern Trend. The best intersections from the drill holes reported today are MH-23-536 and 542, which targeted the down-plunge extension of the 463 Zone which has an earlier intercept of 39.60 m grading 12.50 g/t Au including 10.5 m @ 41.97 g/t Au (see the December 15, 2022 news release).

Tim Froude, President and CEO of Sokoman, says: "Drilling will continue at Moosehead with two rigs, focused mainly on testing the Alpha IP targets outlined last winter. We have also begun trenching near-surface IP anomalies and soil geochemical anomalies. We are also defining a deeper target, below 500 metres, using our understanding of the structural geology of the main Eastern Trend from consultant, Dr. David Coller. We expect to be drilling until the Christmas break."

The table below gives the drill results for the 463, South Pond, and 75 Zones and also several reconnaissance holes.

Drill Plan Map

Drill holes MH-23-536 and 542 were drilled to follow up a 1.4 m intersection of visible gold-bearing quartz veins that gave 12.41 g/t Au from 409.75 m downhole (see the April 13, 2023 news release) an 80 m step-out, 56 m down plunge, from MH-22-463 in the 463 Zone. Results indicate that the zone remains open down-plunge. Other holes testing the 463 Zone area returned only anomalous results.

The South Pond drilling focused on the down-plunge extension of drill holes MH-20-123 - 5.00 m @ 26.87 g/t Au and MH-20-141 - 4.20 m @ 64.00 g/t Au (see the July 20, 2021 news release). Multiple zones of lower-grade gold mineralization were intersected suggesting the zone remains open to depth.

The 75 Zone was tested with three holes with only one hole (MH-23-529) giving significant mineralization. Additional drilling is planned to try to extend the high-grade mineralization intersected in MH-21-263 that gave 4.80 m @ 12.86 g/t Au.

Reconnaissance holes include MH-23-538, 539, 541, 543, and 544 drilled near the Bowtie area to the north of North Pond, with MH-23-545 drilled near the northeastern property boundary testing a mag high. Only one hole, MH-23-539, returned anomalous gold values.

The Company has started testing IP targets defined by the winter Alpha IP survey that defined several first- and second-priority targets below and to the west of the Western Trend as well as targets in the 253 Zone, 200 m to the east of the main Eastern Trend. Results of the first two holes MH-23-547 and 549, testing the Western Trend area, are pending.

Samples with 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 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.
