DIOS discovers new gold drilling targets along 10 km str ike of AU33 property:
favourable northeast targets confirmed by gold-in-soil sampling
Montreal, Quebec – DIOS EXPLORATION outlined new gold drilling targets on
wholly-owned large AU33 gold project that covers an east-west strike of 18 km of
the promising Chain Lake Break, some 20 km west of Clearwater gold deposit along
the Lower Eastmain Greenstone belt, James Bay Eeyou Istchee, Quebec.
In the eastern part, the western magnetic tonalite sill northern flank was targeted in
2018 by soil/ B-horizon sampling as it was not prev iously drilled. Western tonalite
sill returned very strong gold-in-soil anomalies : 269 ppb gold over NE
lineament crosscutting the magnetic sill at its nor thern limit and consecutive
anomalies of 101 and 47 ppb gold also present directly at southern limit (NS line
with 50 m spacing across ESE tonalite horizon). Nearby tonalite float was
resampled: 0.637 g/t gold (original 0.81 g/t Au). Another NS soil line completed 1.4
km up-ice further east returned negative gold-in-soil , indicating a gold source more
to the west, where further soil sampling, prospecting and drilli ng is planned, as well
as on not yet drilled NDP western horizon 3 km east.
Some 8 km west, DIOS 2018 program investigated tonalite-hosted favourable low
magnetic north-east structures within a 2.5 X 6-8 k m gold-bearing NNW Corridor
that included Heberto Gold zone drilling discovery. Intersection s between NE and
NNW structures are prime targets. Geological prospe cting & in-filling soil sampling
(2 kg B-horizon with 50 m-spacing) was completed on SW extents of CLN structure
(including CLS showing; up to 2.23 g/t Au); adjacen t CLW structure (including
CLW=3.79 g/t Au and TW-5=4.72 g/t Au); and Robino b reccia related NE Induced
Polarization anomaly (up to 37 g/t Au). Most 201 8 targets returned positive
results as:
- good NE ground IP anomaly south of Robino Breccia r eturned consecutive
anomalous gold-in-soils of 17, 26 & 13 ppb Au (E-W line with 50 m-spacing)
(Robino previously assayed 37 g/t Au (grab) and 5 g/t Au/1 m (channel).
- New soils (E-W lines with 50 m-spacing) in-fillings over CLW low-mag
lineament graded 23, 13 & 11 ppb Au confirming gold bearing nature of NE
structure (previous 2011 gold-in-soils of 93, 300, 59, 48, 19 4 ppb Au). Adjacent
outcrops sampling on CLW showing yielded new 1.520, 0.647 and 0.241 g/t Au
(grab) associated with 1 meter wide NNW foliated zone host ing 1-3% disseminated
pyrite that previously graded 3.79 g/t Au in strike.
- Due to steep topography on CLN structure and orga nic nature of local soils, no
additional soil sampling could be carried out in 20 18 (previous 2018 drilling results
of 3.26 g/t gold over 6 m true width). Additional prospecting in 2018 on CLS
showing yielded near 1 g/t gold (0.987, 0.275 & 0.1 57 g/t Au) associated with a
2meter wide NNE shear zone hosting 1-2% disseminate d pyrite within tonalite .
Shear remains open to the south and SW.
In September 2018, 16 grab samples (1 blank) and 53 soil/B-horizon samples were
collected and sent for assays ( fire assay on 30 grams, atomic absorption finish &
ME-ICP41) at Val d Or ALS Global Laboratory. Re-ass ays are in progress. Grab
samples are selected and not necessarily representa tive of mineralization on
property. This press release was prepared by Harold Desbiens, M.Sc. Geo and 43-
