Sirios intercepts 0.26 g/t gold over 298.2 metres at Aquilon
Sampling assay results confirm continuity of the high-potential gold-bearing halo at
project in Eeyou Istchee Baie-James, Québec
Montréal (Québec) – Sirios Resources Inc. (TSX-V: SOI) reports assay results from an additional sampling
program performed on 1,496 metres of drill core from its Aquilon gold project in the Eeyou Istchee Baie -
James region of Québec. Results from six drill holes that were continuously sampled along their entire core
length further define a gold-bearing halo that was discovered in 2025 . The halo extends laterally for more
than 700 metres from south to north and over a width of 300 metres dipping eastward, according to the
geological and structural interpretation of the area.
“These results remind me of the very first drilling results we obtained in 2012 on our Cheechoo project,” said
Dominique Doucet, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sirios . “Among others, the first drill hole at
Cheechoo returned 0.21 g/t Au over 191.4 metres, from surface to the end of the hole. This only highlights
the strong potential of Aquilon.”
The recent assay results confirm the continuity of the gold -bearing halo and define significant thicknesses
reaching up to 298.2 metres along the drill hole (apparent thickness). The anomalous gold corridor extends
to a vertical depth of 373 metres in drill hole AQ25-119. It remains open in all directions, including at depth,
indicating strong potential for further extension. In addition, other anomalous gold intervals, which cannot
be correlated with the main corridor and are located to its north, were ide ntified through the sampling
program. These intervals may correspond to one or more additional gold-bearing zones.

Thirteen drill holes totaling 5,420 metres were completed in 2025 (see press release dated December 4,
2025). This led to the discovery of a new mineralization setting on Aquilon, characterized by several high -
grade gold intervals surrounded by a lower-grade halo. The mineralization occurs continuously within a large
rock volume in a sparsely explored area located west of the historical gold showings.
The 2025 drilling program was funded by Sumitomo Metal Mining Canada (Sumitomo), with Sirios acting as
operator. By completing this program, Sumitomo fulfilled the Phase 1 requirements of the option agreement
and earned a 51% interest in the project, having invested more than C$4.8 million in Aquilon. Going forward,
all exploration programs on the Aquilon project will now be jointly funded by Sumitomo and Sirios in
proportion to their respective ownership interests, according to the joint venture agreement.

All NQ caliber drill cores from the Aquilon project were logged and sampled by Sirios personnel. The cores
were split in half , with one half sent to a certified commercial laboratory for analysis and the other half
retained for future reference. A strict QA/QC program was implemented, incorporating blanks and certified
reference standards into the sample sequence. Gold assays were performed by ALS Global Val-d’Or
laboratory, Qc, Canada using fire assay with an atomic absorption finish on a 50 g subsample.
