MONTREAL – Management of SIRIOS (TSX-V : SOI) is pleased to announce the results of last three
drill holes (#91 to 93) and extension of #58 of the series of eleven completed in last December on the
Cheechoo gold property. Numerous new gold zones were intersected.
Drill hole #93 intersected three zones, two zones within an interval of 149,6 m at 1,1 g/t Au :
4.5 m at 11.3 g/t Au, including 1.5 m at 32 g/t Au within 22.2 metres at 2.8 g/t Au,
6 m at 7.2 g/t Au, including 1 m at 33.6 g/t Au, within 14.7 m at 3.5 g/t Au,
5 m at 4.0 g/t Au, including 1m at 16.3 g/t Au.
Drill hole #92 intersected two zones:
6.9 m at 3.9 g/t Au, including 1 m at 14.5 g/t Au,
23.5 m at 1.1 g/t Au, including 8 m at 2.2 g/t Au.
Drill hole #91 intersected:
a zone of 4.4 m at 4.6 g/t Au, including 1 m at 19.2 g/t Au.
The CEO, Dominique Doucet, stated: ''The last drill holes of our 2016 Summer-Autumn campaign have,
once again, succeeded to locate ne w high-grade gold zones. They are situated at approximately 200
metres west-north-west of the area where most of our drill holes are located. New drill holes are
consequently planned in order to outline the orientation, the shape and the extent of these zones.''
The extension of drill hole #58 was not completed at the aimed depth, it will be finished during the
upcoming drilling campaign. Main results are presented in the table below.
Results of this press release complete the 2016 Summer-Autumn drilling campaign that totalize s 9,359
metres comprising 37 NQ drill holes (#57 to 93) and drill holes extension #25, 52 and 58. Map showing
the location of drill holes is available at the following link:

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 Technominex
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 assayed by pyro-analysis with metallic sieve from a sample of
about 1 kg.
