Sirios Observes Visible Gold in Recent Drilling on the Cheechoo
Gold Project, Quebec
Montreal, Quebec - The management of Sirios Resources Inc. (TSXV: SOI) is pleased to
announce that a total of 2,517 metres of drilling has been completed to date on the Cheechoo
gold property in Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec. Visible gold was observed in ten instances in
five of the nine definition diamond drill holes totalling 1,767 m. Two additional definition holes
were drilled by reverse circulation (RC) for a total of 211 metres. To date, three exploration
diamond drill holes have been completed for a total of 539 metres. The presence of visible gold ,
as well as the lithologies intersected, are in accordance with the expectations of Sirios' geologists
and the modeling of the gold deposit
Given the superior production rate of diamond drilling compared to reverse cir culation drilling,
Sirios' management decided to complete the remainder of the campaign by diamond drilling. The
definition drill program will therefore continue by diamond drilling with Synee Drilling Inc. on
the sites initially planned. The total number of meters to be drilled could be modified.
The objective of the definition drilling program is to better define the Cheechoo deposit and
initiate an updated resource estimate (as early as 2022) that will allow for a significant amount of
inferred resources to be converted to indicated resources. The improved gold resource
classification of the project will increase the value of the Cheechoo deposit and help advance the
project to a more advanced stage with the completion of a Preliminary Economic Assessment
(PEA).
About the Cheechoo Property
The Cheechoo gold property, wholly -owned by Sirios, is located in Eeyou Istchee James Bay,
Quebec, less than 9 km from Newmont’s Eleonore gold mine. The latest resource estimate for
the Cheechoo project (October 2020) estimated an inferred resource of 2.0 million ounces of
gold contained in 93.0 million tonnes of rock at an average grade of 0.65 g/t Au, with significant
potential to increase this resource.1
