Sirios intersects a new zone of 41 g/t Au over 8 metres at Cheechoo
MONTREAL – The management of SIRIOS (TSX-V: SOI) is pleased to announce the assay results of
drill hole #112, that intersected a new zone assaying 41.0 g/t Au over 8.0 m , at a vertical depth of 285
m on the Cheechoo gold property at Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec . This new zone is hosted in a
quartz-feldspar vein with visible gold.
In addition, three high-grade zones were also intersected in the same drill hole, including the Jordi zone:
- 9.1 g/t Au over 11.8m,
- 31.6 g/t Au over 2.5m and
- 29.3 g/t Au over 6.2m (Jordi Zone).
Significant results are listed in the table below.

Certain drill holes will be deepened during the current drilling campaign in order to determine the strike
and dip of this new vein, which assayed 41 g/t Au over 8 m.
Jordi Zone
Drill hole #112 intersected the Jordi Zone, with a grade of 29.3 g/t Au over 6.2 m. Along the same
section of hole 112, the Jordi Zone was intersected by holes #10 ( 9.0 g/t Au over 5.6m, press release
01/13/14) and #17 ( 12.8 g/t Au over 5.5m, press release 09 /12/14). In this area the mineralized zone is
interpreted as sub-horizontal, becoming steeper in the updip and downdip extensions , as shown on the
section. The Jordi Zone is composed of a pegmatite and a gold bearing quartz-feldspar vein.

The winter 2018 diamond drilling program continues on the Cheechoo Project as planned with two rigs.
Sirios' 100% owned Cheechoo property is located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of 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 kept for future refer ence. 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 assayi ng
greater than 2 g/t Au as well as drill core samples with visible gold were assayed by fire assay with
metallic sieve based on a 1 kg sample.
