DIOS Clarkie project: two main gold-in-soil anomaly clusters identified
along 3 km long exhalative sediment-hosted Wacky Gold Trend
MONTRÉAL, QUEBEC, CANADA – Management of DIOS EXPLORATION INC. is pleased to report
Fall 2018 results from its CLARKIE gold project, along Eleonore mine - Cheechoo corrid or in Lower
Eastmain Greenstone-belt. The 2018 field work exte nded previous soil grid to the south-southeast of
Wacky-Slinky gold showing that had returned up to 6.8 & 8.8 g/t Au in grab-samples.
Gold anomalies are clustered two and three km SSE of Wacky respectively near Skippy (7, 17, 9
& 6 ppb gold) and Goofy (13, 14 & 15 ppb Au) target s: 12 out of 64 B-soils (or 18.75%) assayed
6 ppb gold or more and these gold-in-soil anomalies are all located along favourable NW-SE
Wacky trend, a volcano-sedimentary contact hosting strong alterations (silicification &
seritization) and pyritization and is well-marked b y a magnetic lineament. Both gold-in-soil
anomaly clusters overlie volcanic rocks and both re main open to the west and values seem to
increase towards the west. Wacky-Slinky gold showings had returned in 2017 muc h lower gold
anomalies (6-7ppb Au). No other metals are anomalous in the soils .
IN 2019, ANOTHER PARALLEL VOLCANO-SEDIMENTARY CONT ACT LOCATED MORE TO THE
WEST WILL BE TARGETED AS ANOMALOUS CLUSTERS ARE OPE N TO THE WEST. Also a
400 m long strike of the eastern trend will be syst ematically rock sampled as gold-in-rock
values are not necessarily associated with high pyrite content.
Along Wacky Gold Trend, silicified wackes/silicate iron-formation unit laterally grades to silicified
wackes/ silicified-sericitized felsic tuffs to the SE. Pyritization (1-2 to 1-10% pyrite) and alterati on
(moderate silica to strong silica and sericite) sig nificantly increase and widen up to 25 m thick to t he
SE along a favourable volcano-sedimentary contact w ell-marked by a magnetic lineament.
Conglomerate units were observed adjacent to the altered mineralized sedimentary horizon.
Wholly-owned CLARKIE (no royalties, 29.5 sq.km),) i s a gold discovery in outcropping sediments of
same type and age hosting Eleonore gold mine, James Bay, Quebec, near major Opinaca structure,
some 25 km southeast of Cheechoo along Eleonore min e -Cheechoo corridor. A significant gold-
bearing glacial train (proprietary data) indicated an up-ice source area hosting the folded Clarkie
sediments. The program included prospecting-geolog ical mapping totaling 195 rock samples, 18
blanks and 64 soil (1-2kg b-horizon) samples along E-W lines with 50m-spacing) ; all prepared and
analyzed for gold (Au-AA23) and multi-elements (MEX -ICP41) at Val dOr ALS Global Laboratory.
Field work and rock mineralization and alteration d escriptions were supervised by H. Desbiens, M.Sc.
Geo 43-101 QP.
