Sokoman Minerals Corp. announced 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. 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.

The company 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. The company 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 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. 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.

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. 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.
