Sirios continues to extend gold mineralization to the north-west at CHEECHOO
MONTREAL – The management of SIRIOS (TSX-V: SOI) is pleased to announce assay results for
seven additional drill holes completed in 2018, located to the north-west of the main drilled area of the
Cheechoo gold property.
Three holes (#152, 155 and 157) , drilled across the NW -SE trending tonalite/meta -sediment contact ,
intersected gold mineralization similar to previously reported holes #117, 119, 121, 148, 150 (ref.: press
releases June 6, 2018 and February 8, 2018) . These holes distributed along the same contact , extend the
known mineralized strike length for an additional 350 meters to the north-west of the November trench as
shown on the map below . Three additional holes (#153, 156, 158) were drilled in the same area, within
the tonalite intrusive and also crossing the contact at depth. Hole #156 intersected a zone of 0.6 g/t Au
over 133.2 m, which is interpreted to be a NNW extension of similar intercepts in holes #106, 143 and
145. Hole #158, with an intercept of 1.0 g/t Au over 38.9 m, indicates that this zone is still open the north-
west. In addition, hole #160, drilled approximately 200 meters west of these six holes, ended with a 1.5 m
intercept of 7.8 g/t Au.
Significant results of the seven drill holes are listed in the table below.

Sirios’ 100% owned Cheechoo property is located at Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec, approximately 800
km north of Montreal, 200 km east of Wemindji and less than 10 km from Goldcorp’s Éléonore gold mine.
Assay quality control
All NQ drill core was described by Sirios personnel at the Cheechoo exploration camp. The drill core was then
sent to Rouyn-Noranda to be sawed in half, with one half sent to a commercial laboratory for assaying and
other half retained for future reference. A strict QA/QC program was followed by integrating blanks and
certified reference standards to the core sample sequence. The samples were assayed for gold by fire assay
with an atomic absorption finish by Actlabs in Ste-Germaine-Boulé. Samples assaying more than 2 g/t, as well
as drill core samples with visible gold, were assayed by fire assay with metallic sieve based on a 1 kg sample.
