Sirios drilling on the Aquilon gold project in Eeyou Istchee James

Sirios drilling on the Aquilon gold project in Eeyou Istchee James
Bay, Quebec.
Montreal (Quebec) – The management of Sirios Resources Inc. (TSX-V: SOI) is pleased to announce that
a 5,000-meter diamond drilling program has started on the Aquilon gold project, located in Eeyou Istchee
James Bay, Quebec.
The Sirios’ geological team will test thirteen targets with two helicopter supported drill rigs.
The ongoing drilling program is targeting an area of the Aquilon project that has, until now, been little
explored, located to the west of the historical gold showings. The growing interest in the western area stems
from the recent discovery of gold-in-soils anomalies, revealed during an extensive B-horizon and till
sampling campaign conducted across the project in 2023 and 2024. These promising results have been
combined with detailed structural and geological interpretations, made possible by a high-resolution drone
magnetic survey, the westward extension of which was completed in 2025. The integration of this new data
has made it possible to generate several high-potential exploration targets, positioning the western sector
of Aquilon as a strategic priority for ongoing work.
The 2,5M$ drilling program is funded by Sumitomo Metal Mining Canada (Sumitomo), with Sirios as operator.
By completing this program, Sumitomo would gain a 51% interest in the Aquilon project as its commitment
in Aquilon would have reached over 4,8M$. (see press release dated 12/19/2022).
About the Aquilon Project
The Aquilon gold project consists of 140 mineral claims covering an area of 68 km². It is located in Eeyou
Istchee James Bay, Quebec, 10 km south of the Laforge-1 hydroelectric power station and is easily
accessible by all-season roads. To date, 32 gold showings have been discovered on the project. Some drill
intercepts from the Aquilon project are among the highest grades obtained in Quebec, including 12,906.5
g/t Au over 0.2 m (Lingo showing), 3,527.4 g/t Au over 0.4 m (Moman showing), and 133.67 g/t Au over 0.8 m
(Fleur-de-Lys showing) (ref. press releases of 26/06/2008 and 19/01/2011). Additional information is
