Sokoman Iron Corp. Commences Diamond Drilling at Clarks Brook, Central Newfoundland

Puslinch - Sokoman Iron Corp, TSX-V SIC (the “Company”) is pleased to announce the start of the Phase 1 diamond drilling program at the recently acquired Clarks Brook property in central Newfoundland. The property is highlighted by significant gold grades in both float and bedrock samples including a maximum of 24.5 g/t Au in float and a maximum of 19.24 g/t Au in bedrock.

The Clarks Brook prospect was staked by vendor Metals Creek (MEK) after a review of past work and initial due diligence sampling performed on the showing. The gold mineralization outlined on the property consists of silicified and disseminated pyrite/arsenopyrite bearing siltstone boulders up to 3 meters in size initially discovered by Altius Minerals Corporation in 2004, and from which assays ranging from 2.98 to 24.5 g/t Au were reported. In 2009, Altius completed Induced Polarization (IP) and Magnetic geophysical surveys outlining several targets but no follow up drilling took place. Subsequent field work by the vendor (MEK) resulted in the discovery in bedrock of similar style mineralization to that of the boulders returning a grab sample assay of 19.24 g/t Au. In addition, thirteen (13) of the large angular blocks were sampled and yielded assays ranging from 0.24 to 10.4 g/t Au. (Note: all samples reported are grab samples and not necessarily representative of mineralization on the property.)

The Company intends to drill up to 500 meters in 4-5 holes to test for mineralization at depths down to 50 meters vertically below surface. The program is expected to be completed by mid-October.

Timothy Froude, P. Geo., Interim CEO states, “We are very anxious to get underway at Clarks Brook as the work done to date, as well as observations of the mineralization, suggest a potentially broad target. This represents the first ever drilling on the property and we are fortunate to have this opportunity. The project also qualifies for funding assistance from the Province and we are grateful for that.”
