SIRIOS intersects 10.6m at 11.2g/t gold in the western area of Cheechoo
MONTREAL – Management of SIRIOS Resources inc. (TSX-V: SOI) is pleased to announce
results of three drill holes completed in the West area located at approximately 750 metres west
of the Central area where the majority of drill holes were performed on the Cheechoo Gold
Property.
Drill hole #99 intersected a near surface interval of 10.6 m at 11.2 g/t
Au, including two intervals with visible gold of one metre each at 63.3
g/t Au and 50.5 g/t Au.

Drill hole #95, located in the West area, was assayed in priority and assay results were published
previously (see March 6, 2017 press release).
The winter drilling campaign on Cheechoo ended mid-April. A total of 5,397 meters was drilled
in fourteen drill holes (#94 to #107) and four extensions at depth ( #36E, 37E, 58E and 82E).
Three drill holes (#82E, #94 and #98) reached depths of 500 to 750 metres in order to test the
interpreted tonalite/meta-sediments contact. They did intersect the contact which is mainly made
of a sequence of alternating sediments and tonalite.
Assay results from drill holes # 36E, 37E, 82E, 94, 98 and 100 to 107 are still pending or being
compiled. A table of all assays encompassing described intervals in the table above is available
on the Sirios website at the following link:

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 t he Éléonore goldmine
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 assay ed 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 pyr o-analysis with metallic sieve
from a sample of about 1 kg.
