Sokoman Launches Exploration Reset: Deep Drill Holes at Moosehead, Copper/Gold Porphyry Potential at Crippleback Lake and New Drill Targets at Fleur de Lys
Sokoman Minerals (OTCQB: SICNF) has announced significant updates across three key properties in Newfoundland. At Moosehead, the company has indefinitely postponed bulk sampling due to processing challenges, but plans to implement a new drilling program including three 1,000m deep holes. At Crippleback Lake, exploration revealed promising copper mineralization with samples showing up to 5.4% copper, and Phase 1 drilling suggests potential for a porphyry copper-gold or epithermal gold system. The property has been expanded to cover 300 claims along a 22-km prospective fault line.
At Fleur de Lys, the company plans to explore unprospected anomalies in the southern portion, following up on discoveries including boulder samples with values up to 9.04 g/t Au in the Golden Bull area. The company has engaged experts and plans additional surveys, trenching, and drilling across all properties.
Sokoman Minerals (OTCQB: SICNF) ha annunciato aggiornamenti significativi su tre proprietà chiave a Terranova. A Moosehead, la società ha posticipato a tempo indeterminato il campionamento di massa a causa di problemi di processo, ma prevede di avviare un nuovo programma di perforazioni con tre fori profondi 1.000 m ciascuno. A Crippleback Lake, l'esplorazione ha rivelato promettenti mineralizzazioni di rame con campioni che mostrano fino al 5,4% di rame, e la perforazione della Fase 1 suggerisce il potenziale per un sistema porfirico di rame-oro o un sistema epiterma d'oro. La proprietà è stata ampliata per coprire 300 concessioni lungo una linea di faglia prospettica di 22 km.
Presso Fleur de Lys, la società intende esplorare anomalie non ancora indagate nella parte meridionale, a seguito di scoperte come campioni di massi con valori fino a 9,04 g/t Au nell'area Golden Bull. La società ha coinvolto esperti e pianifica ulteriori indagini, scavi e perforazioni in tutte le proprietà.

Sokoman Minerals (OTCQB : SICNF) a annoncé des mises à jour importantes concernant trois propriétés clés à Terre-Neuve. À Moosehead, la société a reporté indéfiniment les prélèvements en vrac en raison de difficultés de traitement, mais prévoit de lancer un nouveau programme de forage comprenant trois trous de 1 000 m de profondeur. À Crippleback Lake, l'exploration a révélé une minéralisation prometteuse en cuivre avec des échantillons affichant jusqu'à 5,4 % de cuivre, et le forage de la phase 1 suggère un potentiel pour un système porphyrique cuivre-or ou un système épithermal aurifère. La propriété a été étendue pour couvrir 300 concessions le long d'une faille prospective de 22 km.
À Fleur de Lys, la société prévoit d'explorer des anomalies non prospectées dans la partie sud, suite à des découvertes incluant des échantillons de blocs avec des valeurs allant jusqu'à 9,04 g/t Au dans la zone Golden Bull. La société a fait appel à des experts et prévoit des relevés supplémentaires, des tranchées et des forages sur toutes les propriétés.
Sokoman Minerals (OTCQB: SICNF) hat bedeutende Neuigkeiten zu drei wichtigen Grundstücken in Neufundland bekannt gegeben. Bei Moosehead hat das Unternehmen die Massenprobenahme aufgrund von Verarbeitungsproblemen auf unbestimmte Zeit verschoben, plant jedoch ein neues Bohrprogramm mit drei 1.000 m tiefen Löchern. Bei Crippleback Lake ergab die Exploration vielversprechende Kupfermineralisierung mit Proben von bis zu 5,4% Kupfer, und die Bohrungen der Phase 1 deuten auf ein Potenzial für ein porphyrisches Kupfer-Gold- oder epithermales Goldsystem hin. Das Grundstück wurde auf 300 Claims entlang einer 22 km langen potenziellen Verwerfungslinie erweitert.
Bei Fleur de Lys plant das Unternehmen, unerforschte Anomalien im südlichen Bereich zu untersuchen, nachdem Entdeckungen wie Blockproben mit Werten bis zu 9,04 g/t Au im Golden Bull-Gebiet gemacht wurden. Das Unternehmen hat Experten engagiert und plant weitere Untersuchungen, Grabenarbeiten und Bohrungen auf allen Grundstücken.
- Discovery of high-grade copper mineralization up to 5.4% at Crippleback Lake
- Expansion of Crippleback property to 300 claims covering 22km of prospective fault line
- Promising gold values up to 9.04 g/t Au found in boulder samples at Fleur de Lys
- Implementation of deep drilling program at Moosehead to test zone extensions

- Logging operations prevented planned trenching program at Crippleback in late 2024
St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador--(Newsfile Corp. - July 24, 2025) - Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV: SIC) (OTCQB: SICNF) ("Sokoman" or the "Company") is pleased to provide the following updates on its core properties in central/north-central Newfoundland: Moosehead, Crippleback and Fleur de Lys.
Moosehead
The Company has been unable to secure a practical processing strategy for the proposed bulk sample(s) at the Moosehead Project. Therefore, the proposed bulk sampling programs have been postponed indefinitely. Active discussions will continue with processing providers.
Timothy Froude, P.Geo., President and CEO, states, "A delay in the bulk sampling program at Moosehead has opened a window of opportunity to implement recommendations stemming from Dr. Coller's structural report on the property. In addition to a robust shallow drilling program, Dr. Coller and Exploration Manager Ryan Newman have proposed three "deep holes", each 1,000 m in length, reaching a vertical depth of 800 m. These will test for extensions of the known gold zones, intersect untested structures and guide further deep drilling. Drilling is scheduled to commence later this year, contingent upon receipt of the necessary permits."
Crippleback Lake
Prospecting in the northern portion of the property in late 2023 located disseminated copper sulphide containing mineralization (chalcopyrite) with grab sample values up to
In late 2024, logging operations prevented a planned trenching program. The Company proceeded with an IP geophysical survey and a Phase 1 diamond-drilling program (9 holes, 1,839 m) in areas not in conflict with the logging operations. The drilling intersected significant alteration and mineralization consistent with a magmatic-hydrothermal system, potentially a porphyry Cu-(Au) and/or a high sulfidation, epithermal gold system. A total of 1,405 core samples were sent for Au and 34-element ICP analysis to Eastern Analytical Ltd. ("Eastern") in Springdale, NL, with a subset of samples (285) sent for further analysis (59 elements) to Bureau Veritas in Vancouver, BC, for elements not analyzed by Eastern. The Company has engaged Dr. Stephen Piercey, a globally recognized expert in hydrothermal ore deposits, of Memorial University in St. John's, NL, to evaluate and provide an opinion on the mineralized system intersected in the Phase 1 program.
Additional key claims have been acquired in the area based on these exploration results, and the property now covers approximately 300 claims and a 22-km length of the highly prospective Valentine Lake - Cape Ray Fault, most of which has seen little previous exploration for base metals. An expanded Induced Polarization (IP) survey is planned to define and expand the alteration/mineralization identified in the drilling, with the survey expected to start later this summer. Trenching and diamond drilling will follow.
Fleur de Lys
The 2025 exploration will target unprospected till and/or geophysical anomalies in the southern portion of the property. The 2024 exploration focused on targets only in the northern half of the property. Further close-spaced trenching is needed at the Golden Bull area, where initial prospecting had located large angular boulders with values up to 9.04 g/t Au. Additional ground surveys, including prospecting, geophysics and trenching, are planned in the area near drill hole FDL-24-23, which intersected multiple pyrite-rich quartz veins resembling pyrite veins at Curraghinalt in Northern Ireland. Since FDL-24-23 lies 3 km from the next closest drill hole, further diamond drilling is warranted.
Mr. Froude further comments, "We are also excited by the exploration results from the Crippleback Lake property, as it has features consistent with porphyry copper/gold deposits and/or an epithermal gold system. With further ground exploration at Fleur de Lys, we hope that we can return with a follow-up drill program."
