Gold discovery on Clarkie along Eleonore-Cheechoo corridor
Up to 8.9 g/t gold in Eleonore type sediments
MONTRÉAL, QUEBEC, CANADA – DIOS EXPLORATION reports a gold
discovery on Clarkie, in Eleonore-Cheechoo corridor , up to 8.9 g/t gold and 6.8 g/t
gold in sedimentary rocks outcropping some 120 m apart .
A 2.5 by 1 km area was targeted up-ice of a gold-in -till train (13 samples over 0.10 g/t
gold, up to 1.16 g/t gold) and extents of Wacky gol d showing within Clarkie sedimentary
basin. Follow-up included prospecting and b-horizon soil sampling.
Focus was on Wacky gold showing composed of alternating metric to several meter
large horizons of Silicified Amphibolitized Wackes (kind of sandstone) hosting 1-5
percent disseminated pyrite with silicate-garnet ir on-formation (tr-2 percent py-po).
Significant DIOS’ 2017 results are follows.

An outcrop with a value of 0.619 g/t gold is locate d 420 m south of the 8.88 g/t gold one,
this one being 120 m south of the 6.8 g/t gold one. . Soil sampling shows very discrete
gold anomalies possibly extending Wacky occurrence 300m north and 200m south.
Wholly-owned CLARKIE is a gold discovery in outcropping sediments of sa me type
and age hosting Eleonore gold mine, James Bay, Queb ec, near major Opinaca structure,
some 25 km southeast of Cheechoo along Eleonore-Cheechoo corridor.
A total of 61 rock-samples (plus 6 blanks) and 67 s oil samples (1-2kg) was collected and
assayed at ALS Val d’Or.following good industry sta ndards. This release was prepared
