The Company has agreed to purchase a 100% undivided interest in 105 mineral claims located in the Crippleback Lake Area from United Gold Inc. (the United Gold Claims). In consideration of the United Gold Claims Sokoman will make a one-time cash payment of $20,000 and issue 500,000 common shares of the Company to United Gold Inc.
The Company has also entered into an agreement with David Evans to acquire a 100% interest, subject to a 1% NSR Royalty in favour of David Evans (the "NSR"), in 74 mineral claims located in the Crippleback Lake Area (the "Evans Property") for consideration of a one-time cash payment of $2,500 and 100,000 common shares of the Company to David Evans.

Tim Froude, CEO, says "We are pleased to have locked in these two key pieces of ground in what we feel is an emerging new copper-gold play in central Newfoundland. Combined with our existing claims, we now control over 13,000 hectares at Crippleback Lake. We will immediately get boots on the ground with IP geophysical surveys, soil and rock sampling and geological mapping planned to start in the coming days."
The United Gold Agreement and Evans Agreement are both subject to TSX venture Exchange approval.
