26.1 metres at 6.2 g/t gold intersected in drilling at Cheechoo
MONTREAL – Management of SIRIOS (TSX-V : SOI) is pleased to announce results of seven drill
holes (#84 to 90) of the series of eleven completed last December on the Cheechoo gold property. High
gold grades were obtained:
- Drill hole #88 intersected 26.1 metres at a grade of 6.2 g/t Au including 1 metre at 65.6 g/t Au and
1 metre at 53.9 Au g/t Au (zone I). The zone is included within 100.8 metres at 2.0 g/t Au.
- Drill hole #86 intersected 9.6 metres at 13.42 g/t Au , including 1.0 metre at 121.6 g/t Au , in a zone
of 34.3 metres at 4.2 g/t Au.
- Drill hole #85 intersected a zone of 181.5 metres at 0.5 g/t Au.
Other grades yielding between 1 and 2 g/t Au over widths ranging from 10 to 23 metres were obtained
in drill holes #84, 85, 87 and 89 (see attached table).
M. Dominique Doucet, CEO, states: ''Once again, these last high gold grades results over pluri-metric
widths, themselves located inside extensive auriferous intervals, validate geological interpretation and
allow us to plan and , optimize upcoming drill holes. An auriferous model of high grades zones inside
large zones of low grade is taking shape as more drill hole results are compiled.
Assays results are pending for drill holes #91 to 93 and the extension of #58. These results will complete
the 2016 Summer-Autumn drill campaign that totalize 9,359 metres comprising 37 NQ drill holes (#57
to 93) and extensions of drill holes #25, 52 and 58. A location map of drill holes is available at the

Sirios's fully owned Cheechoo property is located at Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec, at 800 km north
of Montreal, at 200 km east of Wemindji and at less than 10 km of the Éléonore goldmine of the
producer Goldcorp.
Assay quality control
All NQ drill cores were described by personnel of Sirios at the Cheechoo exploration camp. They were
then sent to Rouyn -Noranda to be sawed in half, with one half sent to a commercial laboratory for
analysis and other half retained for future reference. A strict QA/QC program was followed by
integrating blanks and standards to core samples, all of which were prepared by Services T echnominex
Inc. of Rouyn-Noranda. They were then assayed for gold by fire assay and atomic absorption finish by
Actlabs in St-Germain-Boulé, close to Rouyn -Noranda. Samples grading more than 3 g/t were repeated
at lab. Drill core with visible gold were ass ayed by pyro -analysis with metallic sieve from a sample of
about 1 kg.
