Sokoman Iron Receives Exploration Approval For Phase I Drilling
SOKOMAN IRON RECEIVES EXPLORATION APPROVAL FOR PHASE I DRILLING AT MOOSEHEAD GOLD PROJECT, CENTRAL NEWFOUNDLAND
Puslinch, ON, May 30, 2018 – Sokoman Iron Corp. (‘Sokoman‘ or ’the Company‘) (TSX-V: SIC) is pleased to announce it has received Exploration Approval from the provincial Department of Natural Resources, and can now proceed with the proposed 2,000-metre Phase I diamond drill program at the Moosehead Gold project in central Newfoundland. A crew has been mobilized and will begin site preparations immediately with first core expected in about 2 weeks.
The program will have three main objectives (see May 25, 2018 News Release): focusing on the near surface (less than 50 m deep) high-grade historical intercepts* in the Western Trend including historical results of 27.74 g/t Au over 5.58 m starting at 33.92 m in MH-01-13 (including 96.71 g/t Au over 1.50 m); high-grade historical intercepts in the Eastern Trend (53.36 g/t Au over 2.35 m starting at 255.36 m including 277.96 g/t Au over 0.45 m), as well as selected reconnaissance targets defined by anomalous soil geochemistry (values ranging from less than detection to 79 ppb Au) and unsourced float (sample 12159 that assayed 180 g/t Au) lying to the north and east of the main zone of mineralization and believed to indicate a source(s) independent of the main zone. (Note: core, soil and rock sample values stated are historical in nature and not verified by Sokoman Iron.).
The Phase I program will follow the recommendations proposed by Minorex Consulting Limited (‘Minorex’) of Aldergrove, B.C. who recently provided an updated and revised model of the Moosehead mineralization. A total of 20 holes has been proposed of which 11 holes (1,310 m) are considered first priority. The remaining 690 metres will be distributed among the second priority and reconnaissance targets. The distribution of the first priority holes was also designed with consideration for any future resource estimates that may be completed at Moosehead.
Timothy Froude, P. Geo., Interim CEO states: “We are anxious to get the program started at Moosehead, particularly given the good grades returned historically. We are quite optimistic that the forthcoming program will bring significant results confirming the potential of Moosehead.”
The Moosehead project is host to widespread, orogenic lode gold mineralization that has been intersected over a 2-km long by 500 m wide zone, locally with very high gold grades as demonstrated by historical drilling programs. The project is strategically located in north-central Newfoundland with the TransCanada Highway crossing the northern portion of the property, and Route 360 lying 1.2 km northwest of most previous drilling. The town of Grand Falls-Windsor lies 20 km west of the property, and the town of Gander is located 75 km to the east. The deep water port of Botwood lies 17 km north of the property. In addition, secondary roads and drill trails offer excellent access to virtually the entire property. Moosehead lies 33 km northwest of Sokoman’s Clarks Brook Gold project where assays from the recently completed Phase II drilling program (594 m) successfully extended the known mineralized trend and intersected a second, subparallel zone of gold mineralization returning 3.74 g/t gold over 3.10 m including 14.73 g/t gold over 0.60 m (April 4, 2018 News Release).
On November 10, 2017, Altius Resources Inc. and Sokoman Iron Corp. entered into a definitive agreement whereby Sokoman has the exclusive right to acquire a 100% interest (subject to an existing 0.5% NSR royalty in Altius Resources Inc’s high-grade Moosehead Gold Project in central Newfoundland (the ‘Option’). On March 23, 2018, Sokoman announced that the TSX Venture Exchange had accepted for filing all of the documents in regard to the Moosehead property transaction as previously announced on November 9, 2017. Sokoman has also issued the share payment and related warrant certificate to Altius Minerals Inc. (‘Altius’) consisting of 7,754,371 common shares and 1,428,571 share purchase warrants. Upon closing, Altius will hold a total of 9,182,942 common shares of Sokoman Iron Corp. which represents 19.9% of the outstanding shares of Sokoman at the time of the closing of Sokoman’s November 2017 financing. The issued share purchase warrants have a strike price of 5 cents good for three years after the date of the closing.

Sokoman Iron Provides Moosehead Gold Project Update
SOKOMAN IRON PROVIDES MOOSEHEAD GOLD PROJECT UPDATE:
REVISED 3-D MODELLING UNDERWAY
Puslinch, ON, April 25, 2018 – Sokoman Iron Corp. (“Sokoman” or “the Company”) (TSX-V: SIC) today announced that the modelling of historical diamond drilling carried out at Moosehead from 1996 to 2004 is underway and when complete, will help the Company prioritize and plan for a Phase I drilling program which is expected to begin in mid-May. The revised 3-D model will incorporate three phases of drilling completed between 2002 – 2004 after the original modelling was done in early 2002.
Timothy Froude, P. Geo., Interim CEO states: “We are anxious to get the drill turning at Moosehead. The Phase I program will be the first diamond drilling to be initiated at Moosehead since 2004 and will test several targets including the high grade shallow zone; the deeper high-grade zone in MH-03-15; and new targets defined by Altius Resources from their 2015-2016 exploration program.”
The Moosehead project is host to widespread, orogenic lode gold mineralization, that has been intersected over a two km long by 500 m wide zone, locally with very high grades as shown below.
*Note: Historical drill results reported in this release were from saw cut NQ sized drill core with analysis carried out by either ALS Chemex in Vancouver, B.C., XRAL Laboratories in Don Mills, ON, or, Chimitec Laboratories in Val d’Or, QC. Vein material was analyzed by a 1000 gram metallic screen preparation and fire assay analysis, with standard fire assay for the remaining samples. A 32 element ICP scan was also completed on all samples. The work is historical in nature and non NI 43-101 compliant and SIC have not yet independently verified the data. True width of selected intercepts may vary between 30-100% of the reported interval.
The Company has also submitted permit applications for the forthcoming diamond drilling program and permits are expected to be in hand in 4-6 weeks. The Phase I program will consist of up to 2000 metres of drilling and will have three objectives; to expand on the near surface high grade mineralization previously identified, to test the deeper high grade which has been tested by only a single hole (MH-03-15), and to test high priority coincidental soil and mineralized float identified along trend of the main zones of mineralization. Structural analysis including information from the 2016 trenching and downhole televiewer analysis by Altius has provided a new interpretation of the structures controlling mineralization and concluded that most historic drilling on the property did not adequately test the mineralization.
The Moosehead property is strategically located in north central Newfoundland with the TransCanada Highway crossing the northern portion of the property, and Route 360 lying 1.2 kms northwest of the bulk of the previous drilling. The town of Grand Falls-Windsor lies 20 kms west of the property, and the town of Gander is located 75 kms to the east. The deep water port of Botwood lies 17 kms north of the property and secondary roads and drill trails offer excellent access to virtually the entire property. Moosehead lies 33 kms northwest of Sokoman’s Clarks Brook Gold project where assays from the recently completed Phase II drilling program (594 m) successfully extended the known mineralized trend and intersected a second, subparallel zone of gold mineralization (April 4, 2018 News Release).
On November 10, 2017, Altius Resources Inc. and Sokoman Iron Corp. entered into a definitive agreement whereby Sokoman has the exclusive right to acquire a 100% interest (subject to an existing 0.5% NSR royalty) in Altius Resources Inc’s high-grade Moosehead Gold Project in central Newfoundland (the Option). On March 23, 2018, Sokoman announced that the TSX Venture Exchange had accepted for filing all of the documents in regard to the Moosehead property transaction as previously announced on November 9, 2017. Sokoman has also issued the share payment and related warrant certificate to Altius Minerals Inc. (Altius) consisting of 7,754,371 common shares and 1,428,571 share purchase warrants.

Sokoman Iron Extends Gold Mineralization And Intersects 2nd Zone
SOKOMAN IRON EXTENDS GOLD MINERALIZATION AND INTERSECTS A SECOND ZONE
AT CLARKS BROOK, CENTRAL NEWFOUNDLAND
April 5, 2018 – Puslinch, ON – Sokoman Iron Corp. (“Sokoman” or “the Company”) (TSX-V: SIC) is pleased to announce that all holes in the Phase Two program intersected gold mineralization including a second previously unknown zone, which returned the highest grades of the program. Diamond drill hole CB-18-5 intersected bleached and locally clay altered conglomerate cut by a network of narrow pyritic quartz veinlets that returned 3.74 g/t gold over 3.10 metres including 14.73 g/t gold over 0.60 metres.
This is the first time that gold mineralization has been observed in conglomeratic units. The Company now believes that many of the previous holes may have been shut down prematurely based on the understanding that gold mineralization observed to date on the property was historically hosted only in finer-grained rocks such as siltstone and sandstone. Therefore, gold mineralization at Clarks Brook may be much more extensive than originally thought. The conglomerate-hosted zone intersected in CB-18-5 lies approximately 100 metres east of, and across strike from, the discovery zone intersected in the 2017 drilling (see attached map).
Timothy Froude, P. Geo., Interim CEO states: “We continue to extend existing and discover new zones of gold mineralization at Clarks Brook. Whenever a property is drilled for the first time, as Clarks was last October, you have to be prepared for surprises and be flexible in the way you are thinking. We have learned much from Phase Two that gives us tremendous encouragement for the future and we now realize that we need a much bigger program at Clarks Brook. The mineralization remains open in all directions with a new zone discovered in the most recent phase of drilling.”
The original Clarks Brook prospect consists of a number of large (up to 1-2 square metres) angular siltstone/sandstone boulders from which previous operators had returned grab sample gold values ranging from 2.98 to 24.5 g/t gold (Altius Minerals Corp. (ALS) in 2004), and from the property vendor, Metals Creek Resources (MEK) in 2016, where thirteen (13) of the large angular blocks were grab sampled and yielded assays ranging from 0.24 g/t to 10.4 g/t gold. Note: The historical assay results mentioned in this news release were grab samples which are selective by nature and are unlikely to represent average grades of the property.
Sokoman’s Phase Two 594-metre (NQ) program with hole depths ranging from 172 to 213 metres (-40 to -52 degree dips) continued testing a strong magnetic low feature which appears to host the gold mineralization at Clarks Brook. Gold mineralization has now been intersected in all seven holes completed to date and the mineralization, including a second zone, intersected in CB-18-5, remains open in all directions. Note: Drill intercepts tabled below are believed to be 80 to 90% true thickness.
This news release has been reviewed and approved by Timothy Froude, P. Geo., a “Qualified Person” under National Instrument 43-101 and Interim CEO for Sokoman Iron Corp. Assaying of drill cores was carried out at Eastern Analytical Ltd. in Springdale NL, an ISO 17025 accredited lab. Eastern runs a blank and a certified standard in each batch of 24 samples and a pulp duplicate is run every 20 samples. Sokoman did not insert its own blanks or standards in the sample stream. Sampled core was cut using a diamond blade core saw with one half of sawn core retained for future reference. All logging and sampling of core was carried out by Sokoman personnel who also transported the samples directly to Eastern Analytical for Au (fire assay) and selected ICP 34 analysis. A total of 222 samples were cut ranging in length from 0.20 to 1.50 meters with a median length of 0.83 meters.
The Company would like to acknowledge the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador for financial support of this project through the JEA program.

Sokoman Iron Receives Revised Moosehead Modeling
SOKOMAN IRON RECEIVES REVISED MOOSEHEAD MODELING:
MULTIPLE TARGETS PROPOSED
Puslinch, ON, May 25, 2018 – Sokoman Iron Corp. (‘Sokoman‘ or ’the Company‘) (TSX-V: SIC) is pleased to announce it has received from Minorex Consulting Limited (‘Minorex’) of Aldergrove, B.C. an updated model of the gold-bearing mineralization within the Moosehead Project All historic drilling (110 holes) has now been modelled, and this work has identified a number of targets that the company will now test with a Phase I, 2,000-metre diamond drilling program. A total of 20 holes have been proposed of which 11 holes (1,310 m) are considered First Priority. The remaining 690 meters will be distributed among the Second Priority and reconnaissance targets. The drilling program will focus on three main target areas at Moosehead, specifically the Western and Eastern Trends (see attached plan map), and the reconnaissance targets.
The program will start with verification and expansion of the near surface (less than 50 m deep) high grade mineralization in the Western Trend, intersected in multiple historical holes including MH-01-13, MH-01-23, etc. as tabled below*. The modeling also took into account the results of the 2016 structural study completed at Moosehead which suggested that many of the previous drilling programs were not oriented to optimally test the mineralization. The proposed holes in the Phase I program (except for the deep target), will be oriented to test the findings and recommendations of the structural study. The distribution of the First Priority holes was also designed with consideration for any future resource estimates that may be completed at Moosehead.
The second aspect to be tested will be the depth potential of the mineralization beneath the near surface mineralization (between 50 and 150 m depth), including the lone “deep” intercept in MH-03-15 (Eastern Trend) returning 2.35 m grading 53.36 g/t Au including 0.45 m grading 277.96 g/t Au at a down hole depth of 255.36 m.
The company also plans to test, with two to three reconnaissance holes, areas of anomalous soil geochemistry (values ranging from less than detection to 79 ppb Au) and unsourced float (sample 12159 that assayed 180 g/t Au) lying to the north and east of the main zone of mineralization and believed to indicate a source(s) independent of the main zone. (Note: soil and rock sample values stated are historical in nature and not verified by Sokoman Iron.)
Timothy Froude, P. Geo., Interim CEO states: “We are extremely pleased with the end results of the modelling completed by Minorex. The work that Minorex has done clearly demonstrates potential for success both in the near surface and deeper target areas. The Phase I program will be the first diamond drilling to be initiated at Moosehead since 2004. We are expecting permits within the coming weeks with a view to commencing drilling in the latter part of May.”
The Moosehead project is host to widespread, orogenic lode gold mineralization that has been intersected over a two km long by 500 m wide zone, locally with very high gold grades as shown below.
*Note: Historical drill results reported in this release were from saw cut NQ sized drill core with analysis carried out by either ALS Chemex in Vancouver, B.C., XRAL Laboratories in Don Mills, ON, or, Chimitec Laboratories in Val d’Or, QC.

Sokoman Iron Corp. & Altius Resources Inc. Option Agreement
SOKOMAN IRON CORP. and ALTIUS RESOURCES INC. COMPLETE MOOSEHEAD OPTION AGREEMENT
March 23, 2018, Puslinch, ON. – Sokoman Iron Corp (Sokoman) (TSX-V: SIC) is pleased to announce that the TSX Venture Exchange has accepted for filing all of the documents in regard to the Moosehead property transaction as previously announced on November 9, 2017. Sokoman has also issued the share payment and related warrant certificate to Altius Minerals Inc. (Altius) consisting of 7,754,371 common shares* and 1,428,571 share purchase warrants. Upon closing, Altius will hold a total of 9,182,942 common shares of Sokoman Iron Corp. which represents 19.9% of the outstanding shares of Sokoman at the time of the closing of Sokoman’s November 2017 financing. The issued share purchase warrants have a strike price of 5 cents good for three years after the date of the closing.
On November 10, 2017, both parties entered into a definitive agreement whereby Sokoman has the exclusive right to acquire a 100% interest (subject to an existing 0.5% NSR royalty) in Altius Resources Inc’s** high grade Moosehead Gold Project in central Newfoundland (the Option). The 98 claim (2450 ha) property has returned numerous significant drill intercepts, with highlights as follows;
DDH MH-01-13 returned 11.05 g/t gold over 17.11 m from 38.00 m downhole;
DDH MH-02-38 returned 14.07 g/t gold over 16.84 m from 74.38 m downhole;
True width of selected intercepts may vary between 30-100% of the reported interval.
The mineralization remains open along strike and to depth with the deepest intercept (MH-03-15) returning 277.96 g/t gold over 0.44 m starting at 257.26 m downhole. A total of 111 drill holes have been completed at the Moosehead property over a 2 km strike length of the 8.5 km long property with an average depth of only 108 m. Structural analysis including information from the 2016 trenching and downhole televiewer analysis by Altius has provided a new interpretation of the structures controlling mineralization and concluded that most historic drilling on the property did not adequately test the mineralization. In addition, the source of mineralized float found during Altius’ 2016 trenching program on the property, along with panned gold grains, remains unresolved.
Sokoman intends to provide updated maps and related reports on the Moosehead Property as soon as possible and, will immediately file for the required exploration permits to begin Phase 1 drilling (1500 meters) which is expected to begin in late May or early June, 2018.
Timothy Froude, P. Geo., Interim CEO states; “We are extremely pleased to finalize the deal with Altius Resources for Moosehead. The acquisition clearly defines Sokoman as a significant player in the active central Newfoundland Gold district. The Moosehead property is strategically located in north central Newfoundland with the TransCanada Highway crossing the northern portion of the property, and Route 360 lying 1.2 kms northwest of the bulk of the previous drilling. The town of Grand Falls-Windsor lies 20 kms west of the property, and the town of Gander is located 75 kms to the east. The deep water port of Botwood lies 17 kms north of the property and secondary roads and drill trails offer excellent access to virtually the entire property. Moosehead lies 33 kms northwest of Sokoman’s Clarks Brook Gold project where assays from the recently completed Phase II drilling program (594 m) are expected shortly.

Sokoman Iron Completes Ph.Ii Drilling Clarks Brook Gold Property
SOKOMAN IRON COMPLETES PHASE II DRILLING ON CLARKS BROOK GOLD PROPERTY, CENTRAL NEWFOUNDLAND
Puslinch, Ontario – (February 19, 2018) – Sokoman Iron Corp (Sokoman) (TSX-V: SIC) is pleased to announce that the Phase II drilling program at Clarks Brook has been completed and that core logging and sampling has commenced. The three hole, 594 meter program, was designed to test for additional zones of mineralization along strike and parallel to the mineralization intersected in the first program (completed in October 2017), and to determine whether additional funds should be directed towards this project.
The attached plan highlights the two areas tested with the Phase II drilling. Of particular interest is the magnetic target outlined to the northeast of the Phase I drilling. Phase I drilling suggests that the best mineralization, intersected in holes CB-17-1 and 2, is associated with a strong magnetic low signature (blue colour on the attached plan). This magnetic signature trends northeast of the known mineralization and appears to trend off of the surveyed area, suggesting a minimum distance of 400 meters. The northern property boundary is over 1 kilometer to the northeast, however, no detailed magnetics have been completed over most of this distance and the company is considering, pending results of the Phase II drilling, extending the detailed grid to cover this area with magnetics and possibly Induced Polarization (IP) surveys.
At this point core logging and sampling of the new holes has just commenced, however, a preliminary review of the three holes indicates that silicified and quartz veined intervals with disseminated sulphides has been intersected in all holes, but lengths and significance of these intervals won’t be known until all logging and sampling has been completed. This work is expected to take two weeks and an additional 6 to 8 weeks before assays are received.
In the meantime, the company has been informed that the NI 43-101Form F1 technical report on the Moosehead property has been submitted to the TSX Venture Exchange by the Independent QP and that the Exchange has begun its review of the document and initial comments are expected at any time.
The Clarks Brook prospect consists of a number of large (up to 1-2 m square) angular boulders from which previous operators had returned grab sample gold values ranging from 2.98 to 24.5 g/t gold (Altius Minerals Corp. (ALS) in 2004), and from the property vendor Metals Creek Resources (MEK) in 2016, where thirteen (13) of the large angular blocks were grab sampled and yielded assays ranging from 0.24 g/t to 10.4 g/t gold. In addition, a single outcrop of bedrock mineralization of similar style to that of the boulders, returned a grab sample assay of 19.24 g/t gold. Phase I drilling completed in October 2017 returned assays of 3.37 g/t Au over 3.00 m (from 127.75 – 130.75 m) including 26.9 g/t Au over 0.25 m (from 127.75 – 128.00 m). Note: The historical assay results mentioned in this news release were grab samples which are selective by nature and are unlikely to represent average grades of the property.

Timothy Froude, P. Geo., Interim CEO states; “The recently completed Phase II program is critical to the future of our involvement with this project. Although only a limited program, the holes are all strategic, and will be instrumental in helping shape our plans moving forward. The preliminary review of the core suggests that all holes encountered variably altered and mineralized sediments, however, we must wait until final results have been received before making a decision on further work at Clarks Brook”.

Sokoman Iron Commences Ph.Ii Drilling Clarks Brook Gold Property
SOKOMAN IRON COMMENCES PHASE II DRILLING ON CLARKS BROOK GOLD PROPERTY, CENTRAL NEWFOUNDLAND
Puslinch, Ontario – (FSCwire – February 7, 2018) – Sokoman Iron Corp (Sokoman) (TSX-V: SIC) today announced that it has commenced Phase II drilling on the Clarks Brook Gold Property, located in central Newfoundland. The road accessible Clarks Brook prospect was staked by Metals Creek Resources Corporation (MEK) in late 2016 and subsequently optioned by Sokoman in late 2017 (see News Release August 23, 2017).
The Clarks Brook prospect consists of a number of large (up to 1-2 m square) angular boulders from which previous operators had returned grab sample gold values ranging from 2.98 to 24.5 g/t gold (Altius Minerals Corp. (ALS) in 2004), and from the property vendor Metals Creek Resources (MEK) in 2016, where thirteen (13) of the large angular blocks were grab sampled and yielded assays ranging from 0.24 g/t to 10.4 g/t gold. In addition, a single outcrop of bedrock mineralization of similar style to that of the boulders, returned a grab sample assay of 19.24 g/t gold.
Note: The historical assay results mentioned in this news release were grab samples which are selective by nature and are unlikely to represent average grades of the property.
Sokoman’s four hole, 515 m Phase I program, with hole depths ranging from 105 to 143 m (-40 to -52 degree dips), was the first drilling to be completed on the property and all four holes intersected a variably mineralized structural zone carrying widespread and locally significant gold grades. Based on the four holes completed, the mineralization remains open along strike and to depth.
Selected Phase I highlights include (true thicknesses are believed to be 70% – 80% of reported widths):
CB-17-1 1.65 g/t Au over 2.40 m (from 100.84 – 103.25 m)
CB-17-2 3.37 g/t Au over3.00 m (from 127.75 – 130.75 m)
incl. 4.63 g/t Au over1.65 m (from 127.75 – 129.40 m)
incl. 26.9 g/t Au over0.25 m (from 127.75 – 128.00 m)
CB-17-4 2.34 g/t Au over 1.55 m (from 117.00 – 118.55 m)
The Phase II program will test the mineralization along strike to the northeast, as well as a coincidental magnetic and IP chargeability anomaly 100 m east of the area drilled in Phase I, and similar in strength to the anomaly tested by Phase I (see attached map).
Timothy Froude, P. Geo., Interim CEO states; “Phase I verified the existence of locally significant in situ gold mineralization at Clarks Brook, the first holes to be completed on the property. The geophysical signature of the known mineralization appears to extend for several hundred metres to the edge of the surveyed area, and quite possibly beyond, and we have only tested 100 metres of the structure to date.”

Sokoman Iron Corp. Provides Exploration Outlook
Sokoman Iron Corp. Provides Exploration Outlook
January 18, 2018 – Sokoman Iron Corp., TSX-V SIC (the “Company”) is pleased to provide shareholders with an exploration outlook for the first half of 2018 on its portfolio of gold projects in Central Newfoundland.
Clarks Brook Project
The Clarks Brook Project will be the subject of a Phase 2 reconnaissance diamond drilling program, expected to start in 2 to 3 weeks. The program will focus on the coincidental magnetic and IP targets that host the known mineralization on the property, and where Phase 1 drilling in October 2017, confirmed the presence of locally robust gold mineralization in the first ever holes drilled on the property (SIC NR – December 22, 2017). Selected assays from hole CB-17-2 are as follows; 3.37 g/t Au/3.00 m (127.75m – 130.75m), including 4.63 g/t Au/1.65 m (127.75m – 129.40m), and 26.9 g/t Au/0.25 m (127.75m – 128.00m). The Phase 2 program will consist of approximately 500 meters of drilling in three or four holes and will test the strike extent of the zone, as well as possible parallel structures hosting mineralization. Additional holes and meterage will be added if results warrant.
Moosehead Project
The Company is currently in the process of generating a NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Moosehead property as a condition for approval of the proposed option agreement between Sokoman Iron Corp. and Altius Resources Inc., whereby Sokoman intends to earn a 100% interest, (subject to underlying royalty agreements) in the Moosehead property (SIC NR – November 9, 2017). The report was requested by the TSX Venture Exchange, and should be complete within 30 days. After approval has been granted, Sokoman intends to have all data compiled and modeled by the end of Q1 2018 to aid in drill planning. Pending receipt of all work and related permits, which the company will apply for once approval has been granted, the company expects Phase 1 drilling to commence in late spring 2018. The 2018 program will test a new (2016) structural interpretation of the mineralization which concluded that a most previous drilling may not have been oriented to optimally test the mineralization. In addition, the company plans to investigate recently defined soil anomalies outlined by Altius Resources in 2015 and which lie north and east of the known extent of mineralization.
The Moosehead project, is host to locally significant gold mineralization including diamond drill intercepts* highlighted by; MH-01-13 which returned 11.05 g/t gold over 17.11m from 38.00m downhole, and MH-02-38 which returned 14.07 g/t gold over 16.84m from 74.38m downhole (Altius Minerals Corp. website 2018). The mineralization at Moosehead is believed to be open in all directions and to depth, with average hole length of about 100 meters. *Note: Historical drill results reported in this release from Moosehead were from saw cut NQ sized drill core with analysis carried out by either ALS Chemex in Vancouver, B.C.; XRAL Laboratories in Don Mills, ON; or, Chimitec Laboratories in Val d’Or, QC. Vein material was analyzed by a 1000 gram metallic screen preparation and fire assay analysis, with standard fire assay for the remaining samples. A 32 element ICP scan was also completed on all samples. The work is historical in nature and non NI 43-101 compliant and SIC have not yet independently verified the data.
Central Newfoundland Gold Project (CNGP)
The CNGP is located in central Newfoundland and consists of three separate projects; East Alder, Crippleback Lake and Princess Lake, all of which straddle the regional structure that hosts many of the most important gold deposits and prospects on the Island of Newfoundland. Projects including the Valentine Lake property (Marathon Gold) which has NI 43-101 mineral resources of 1,846,500 ounces gold Measured and Indicated at 1.88 g/t gold, and 1,011,700 ounces gold Inferred at 1.66 g/t gold (November 30, 2017 Marathon Gold Inc. NR); and the recently discovered Wilding Lake Project, which has reported channel sample assays of 49.6 g/t Au over 4.6 meters and diamond drill intercepts of 10.01 g/t Au over 5.35 metres (December 13, 2017 Antler Gold NR) are believed to be localized on the same regional structure. The Antler discoveries are as close as 1200 meters from our boundary and on trend. We have defined at least 14 high priority soil/till and rock geochemical targets at East Alder, and another six on Crippleback Lake, all of which will be investigated this year. The author cautions that the style of mineralization, and gold values reported from the Valentine Lake or the Wilding Lake projects, are not necessarily indicative of the mineralization on Sokoman Iron’s properties.
Timothy Froude, P. Geo., Interim CEO states, “We are very anxious to get our 2018 programs underway, beginning with Clarks Brook, where the amount of float and the geophysics suggests we may not yet know the full extent of the gold zone at Clarks. The Moosehead project will gather momentum once we obtain TSX Venture Exchange approval, at which time we will move forward with one of the highest potential properties in central Newfoundland. At the CNGP, we have 20 high priority trenching targets defined and we are optimistic some will graduate to the drilling stage. In short, 2018 is shaping up to be an exciting year for Sokoman shareholders as we move forward our portfolio of high quality projects. We are also grateful for the financial assistance we will receive from the Province of Newfoundland on our 2017 JEA qualifying projects, the CNGP, and Clarks Brook. (Clarks Brook was pre-approved for JEA by Metals Creek in 2017 prior to acquisition by Sokoman).”

Sokoman Iron Corp Confirms In Situ Gold Mineralization In Nl
SOKOMAN IRON CORP CONFIRMS IN SITU GOLD MINERALIZATION AT CLARKS BROOK, CENTRAL NEWFOUNDLAND
Locally grades to 26.9 g/t Au over 0.25 m; Phase 2 Drilling Program Planned for early 2018
December 21, 2017, Puslinch, ON. – Sokoman Iron Corp (Sokoman) (TSX-V: SIC) is pleased to announce the results from the Phase 1 drill program completed in late October 2017 at the Clarks Brook property in central Newfoundland. Selected highlights from the Phase 1 2017 diamond drill program are as follows:
CB-17-1 5.58 g/t Au / 0.30 m (from 99.20m – 99.50m)
and 1.65 g/t Au / 2.40 m (from 100.84m – 103.25m)
CB-17-2 5.46 g/t Au / 0.50 m (from 71.20m – 71.70)
and 3.37 g/t Au / 3.00 m (from 127.75 – 130.75)
incl. 4.63 g/t Au / 1.65 m (from 127.75 – 129.40)
incl. 26.9 g/t Au/ 0.25 m (from 127.75 – 128.00)
CB-17-3 0.38 g/t Au / 7.35 m (from 46.30 – 53.65)
incl. 3.36 g/t Au / 0.50 m (from 51.40 – 51.90)
CB-17-4 1.55 g/t Au / 0.70 m (from 107.35 – 108.05)
and 2.34 g/t Au / 1.55 m (from 117.00 – 118.55)
Note: Reported intervals are believed to be 80 to 90 percent of true intervals. Individual sample lengths ranged from 0.25 to 0.85 m in length. All core samples were saw cut in half with one half submitted for gold analysis by fire assay at Eastern Analytical Limited in Springdale, NL. Core sampling and sample shipment completed by Sokoman Iron personnel.
Sokoman’s four hole, 515 m Phase 1 program, with hole depths ranging from 105 to 143 meters (-45 degree dips), was the first drilling to be completed on the property and all four holes intersected a variably mineralized structural zone carrying widespread and locally significant gold grades (see attached plan map and drill section). The location of the mineralized blocks (and outcrop) in a stream bed prevented previous operators from effectively trenching the mineralization. Other than grab sampling, the Phase 1 drilling was the first real attempt to evaluate the zone. Based on the four holes completed, the mineralization remains open along strike and to depth, and the company intends to commence a Phase 2 drilling program to begin in early 2018. In addition, examination of the core with assay results in hand identified the need for additional sampling which will be carried out in early 2018.
The Clarks Brook prospect, consists of a number of large (up to 1-2 m square) angular boulders from which previous operators had returned grab sample gold values ranging from a minimum of 2.98 g/t to a maximum of 24.5 g/t gold (Altius Minerals Corp. (ALS) in 2004), and from the property vendor,
Metals Creek Resources (MEK) in 2016, where thirteen (13) of the large angular blocks were grab sampled and yielded assays ranging from a minimum of 0.24 g/t to a maximum of 10.4 g/t gold. In addition, Metals Creek reported a single sample of bedrock mineralization of similar style to that of the boulders, returned a grab sample assay of 19.24 g/t gold. (Note: grab sample assays are selective in nature and not necessarily representative of average gold grades that may occur on the property.)
Timothy Froude, P. Geo., and interim CEO states; “The Phase 1 program at Clarks Brook has been a complete success, and we are already looking forward to the Phase 2 program. We have verified the existence of a new, and potentially significant gold mineralized system at Clarks Brook that is wide open, and has locally very strong gold grades. In combination with our recently acquired Moosehead Project and the East Alder/Crippleback Lake project, all in road accessible Central Newfoundland, we are positioning Sokoman to be a significant player in this emerging district. The region is one of the more active districts in Canada and we intend to push forward with aggressive programs to take advantage of the momentum building in Newfoundland.”
The Clarks Brook Project lies 30 kilometers southwest of the town of Glenwood and 14 kilometers from the idle Beaver Brook antimony mine. The recently acquired Moosehead property lies 33 kilometers northwest of the property and all are road accessible.

Sokoman Iron Corp To Option Moosehead Gold Property In Central Newfoundland From Altius Resources Inc.
November 9, 2017, Puslinch, ON. – Sokoman Iron Corp (Sokoman) (TSX-V: SIC) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive agreement with Altius Resources Inc. (Altius) for the exclusive right to acquire a 100% interest (subject to an existing 0.5% NSR royalty) in Altius’s high grade Moosehead Gold Project in central Newfoundland (the Option). The 98 claim (2450 ha) property has returned numerous significant drill intercepts*, with highlights as follows;
DDH MH-01-13 returned 11.05 g/t gold over 17.11 m from 38.00 m downhole;
DDH MH-02-38 returned 14.07 g/t gold over 16.84 m from 74.38 m downhole;
The mineralization remains open along strike and to depth with the deepest intercept (MH-03-15) returning 277.96 g/t gold over 0.44 m starting at 257.26 m downhole. A total of 111 drill holes have been completed at the Moosehead property over a 2 km strike length of the 8.5 km long property with an average depth of only 108 m. True width of selected intercepts may vary between 30-100% of the reported interval. Structural analysis including information from the 2016 trenching and downhole televiewer analysis by Altius has provided a new interpretation of the structures controlling mineralization and concluded that most historic drilling on the property did not adequately test the mineralization. In addition, the source of mineralized float found during Altius’ 2016 trenching program on the property, along with panned gold grains, remains unresolved.
The Moosehead property is strategically located in north central Newfoundland with the TransCanada Highway crossing the northern portion of the property, and Route 360 lying 1.2 kms northwest of the bulk of the previous drilling. The town of Grand Falls-Windsor lies 20 kms west of the property, and the town of Gander is located 75 kms to the east. The deep water port of Botwood lies 17 kms north of the property and secondary roads and drill trails offer excellent access to virtually the entire property. Sokoman’s recently acquired Clarks Brook Gold project lies 33 kms southeast of Moosehead where a Phase 1 drilling program (515 m) recently concluded and for which assay results are pending.
Timothy Froude, P. Geo., Interim CEO states; “The addition of the high grade Moosehead Project to our expanding portfolio of gold projects in central Newfoundland is positioning Sokoman to be a significant player in this emerging district. The region is one of the more active districts in Canada and we intend to push forward with aggressive programs to take advantage of the momentum building in Newfoundland.”
As consideration for the Option, Sokoman will issue to Altius the equivalent of 19.9% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Sokoman following the completion of a proposed private placement, such securities to consist of common shares and warrants to acquire common shares of Sokoman. Upon closing of the Option, Altius will become an insider of Sokoman. Sokoman has also committed to fund a minimum of $500,000 in exploration expenditures as operator on the Moosehead project within the first year. Altius will retain a 1.5% NSR royalty 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. Closing of the Option is subject to satisfaction of customary conditions, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (Exchange) and, if applicable, shareholder approval, as well as the completion of, subject to Exchange approval, a minimum $500,000 private placement. There can be no assurance that the Option will be completed as proposed or at all.
*Note: Historical drill results reported in this release were from saw cut NQ sized drill core with analysis carried out by either ALS Chemex in Vancouver, B.C.; XRAL Laboratories in Don Mills, ON; or, Chimitec Laboratories in Val d’Or, QC. Vein material was analyzed by a 1000 gram metallic screen preparation and fire assay analysis, with standard fire assay for the remaining samples. A 32 element ICP scan was also completed on all samples. The work is historical in nature and non NI 43-101 compliant and SIC have not yet independently verified the data.
