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

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.
