Sirios starts a major re-assaying program for the Cheechoo Gold
Project, Quebec
Montreal, Quebec - The management of Sirios Resources Inc. (TSXV: SOI) is pleased to
announce that a major re-assaying program was initiated recently for the Cheechoo gold project,
Eetou Istchee James Bay, Quebec. Several thousand core samples used to define the Cheechoo
gold deposit may be re-assayed using the “LeachWELL” process (cyanide bottle roll leach) on
one kilogram of material per sample. To date, 643 samples have been sent to the AGAT and
Actlabs laboratories.
This program results from a statistical analysis conducted by Sirios’ geologists showing that the
gold grade is generally higher and more representative when the sample weight is greater than
the 50 grams normally used in laboratory. This relationship between the measured gold grade
and the size of the assayed sample is typical of the “nugget effect ” and was confirmed by
previous mineralogical and metallurgical studies.
Dominique Doucet, founder and CEO of Sirios, stated: " Based on the results of the re -sampling
program, we believe that the average gold grade of the Cheechoo deposit will improve. The
drilling program that will be car ried out this summer and the re -assaying program will increase
the quality of the Cheechoo deposit and possibly the average gold grade. "
The scientific and technical content of this press release has been reviewed and approved by
Dominique Doucet, P.Eng. President and CEO of Sirios Resources Inc. and Jordi Turcotte,
P.Geo., Senior Geologist, Qualified Persons as defined by NI 43-101.
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
