Latest drilling results on Sirios’ Cheechoo project
MONTREAL – Management of SIRIOS Resources Inc. (TSX-V: SOI) is pleased to announce
assay results for the last eight diamond drill holes (#36E, and #101 to 107) completed on the
Cheechoo Gold Property, in Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec. Main results consist of large, low
grade gold intercepts in tonalite, as for example:
• 49.1 m at 1.73 g/t Au including 4 m at 15.2 g/t Au in hole #103;
• 117 m at 0.53 g/t Au in hole #106;
• 55.9 m at 0.59 g/t Au in hole #104;
• 46.1 m at 0.52 g/t Au in hole #36E.
Results published in this press release finalize the Winter 2017 drilling campaign completed in
April for a total of 5,397 meters including 14 NQ drill holes (#94 to 107) and extensions of drill
holes #36, 37, 58 and 82. A dozen drill holes intersected numerous gold bearing areas consisting
of low grade zones including occasionally very high grade metric zones . In addition, auriferous
mineralization was confirmed at vertical depths down to 500 meters in both meta-sedimentary and
tonalitic rocks. Drill holes extended the C entral auriferous mineralization area toward the north -
west, and als o, more to the west that has become the West area. (press releases March 6, 9 and
May 30, 2017)
Dominique Doucet, President, states : ˝Results of our last drilling campaign are most encouraging,
they will allow our drilling exploration pursuit on numerous high potential targets. Recently, we
have also obtained valuable structural data from a logging survey in some drill holes. These data
will help us to locate and define the geometry of numerous gold zones on Cheechoo.˝

The extended delay for the release of assay results are due to, among other things, cumulative time
for: sending core from the field site to the sawing center, half-core samples preparation, preparation
and undertaking of numerous assays over the total length of each drill hole at a commercial
laboratory, re-assays by metallic sieve as well as Sirios’s internal assay quality control procedure.
A table of all assays encompassing described intervals in the table above is available on the Sirios
website at the following link: http://sirios.com/files/Detail-composite-170907.pdf
A location map of drill holes as well as their coordinates are available at following links:

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