Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV:SIC)(OTCQB:SICNF) has provided an update on its maiden drilling program at the Fleur de Lys Property in northwestern Newfoundland. The company has completed 1,442 metres of NQ-sized diamond core drilling in 16 holes.

Assays are pending for all 465 core samples sent to Eastern Analytical
The 2,000 m Phase 1 program is testing historical and new targets, including the Golden Bull Prospect discovered in 2023. The drilling has focused on an approximately 8 km2 area with several discrete targets. The program aims to locate the source of mineralized boulders and test additional targets in the northern portion of the property.
Sokoman is targeting "Dalradian-type" orogenic gold mineralization similar to the Curraghinalt deposit in Northern Ireland, which hosts more than 6 million ounces of gold. The company will continue drilling for two to three more weeks, with decisions on follow-up drilling to be made once all assays are received.
