Metals Creek Resources Corp. Announces Completion of Phase 2 Drilling At Clarks Brook, Central Newfoundland
![Metals Creek Resources Corp. Announces Completion of Phase 2 Drilling At Clarks Brook, Central Newfoundland](https://www.minenportal.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
Timothy Froude, P. Geo., Interim CEO of Sokoman 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."
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 metres. The northern property boundary is over 1 kilometre 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.
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. The true thickness of reported assay intervals from the 2017 program are believed to be 75% to 90% of the reported thickness.
To earn an initial 75% interest, Sokoman must make cash payments of $45,000 over three years (no cash on signing) and issue a total of 3,000,000 Sokoman common shares over three years (500,000 due upon regulatory approval) and incur work expenditures of $800,000 over three years ($100,000 by 1st anniversary). Sokoman will be the operator during the earn-in period. Once a 75% interest is earned by Sokoman, either a 75/25 joint venture will be formed, or Sokoman may elect to earn an additional 25% interest to bring its total property interest to 100%. The terms to increase its interest from 75% to 100% include payments of $100,000 and the issuance of an additional 2,000,000 Sokoman shares within 60 days of the 3rd anniversary date. This agreement is subject to regulatory approval.
