DIOS hits interesting copper drilling intercepts on K2 project, James Bay, Quebec
February 23 2023 - 11:45AM
Dios Exploration drilled significant copper
intercepts in Fall program completed on October 21 on
K2, James Bay, southwest of favourable
gold-bearing Patwon & Barrick shears in dacite (volcanics) and
gabbro/quartz porphyry bodies.
Copper metal is necessary to
decarbonization and energy transition, such as lithium.
Dios hit 35.2
m @ 1645 ppm Cu &1.93 g/t Ag and 28.5
m @ 1032 ppm Cu & 0.28 g/t Ag.
Extensive one km long PP-5
conductor was well outlined by last Fall IP survey, also
coincidental with Badji showing (5.05% copper 5.39
g/t gold, 111 g/t silver with cm pyrite-chalcopyrite stringers in
foliated and strongly sericitized dacite) and historical SDBJ
showing (1.08% Cu & 13.8 g/t Ag). PP-5 was
tested by 6 holes (1 to 5 & 11) cutting several
decametric silicified dacite with disseminated PY-PO-CPY (&
stringers) and QFP (quartz-feldspar porphyry) with
1-5% disseminated (& stringers) pyrite.

Hole 10 hit 3.64g/t gold, 1.11g/t
silver, 0.55% zinc over 0.5 m in volcanic tuff
with 1-2% PO-SP (-CPY) stringers (120-120.5 m depth) along
400 m-long PP-10 IP conductor. Such
tuff represents a volcanism break, follow-up should be pursued this
horizon extent.
Some 600m west of PP-10 and 300 m south of PP-5,
800m-long PP-9 conductor in strike with Shiva
showings yielded 2.12 gold and 1.35g/t Au from
sulfurized dacites intruded by gabbro dykes. PP-9 drilled by holes
06 &07 includes following results:

Further NE, hole 13 hit 20-40% pyrite in a
0.5m-thick dacitic tuff (37.75-38.25m). About 200m north,
prospecting returned 2.19 & 1.24g/t gold from
grab-samples on quartz-pyrite-chalcopyrite veins.
Along the 600m-long PP-1 conductor, 2022 surface
prospecting yielded 1.425, 0.747 and 0.535g/t gold
from mineralized quartz veins in (or in contact to) the gabbro.
Hole 12 cut a foliated gabbro with 5% quartz-carbonate
veinlets-veins & 0.5-1% PO-PY (6-114.25m).
The 500m-long PP-3 was tested by K2-22-08,
intersecting a sheared gabbro with 3-4% quartz-carbonate veinlets
& 1% PO, TR-CPY (33.50-48.55m).
A few km SW, Dios had
discovered up to 8.28 % Cu at Kali Lake, 3.71 % Cu at Attila (8.08
g/t Au) and 6.42 % Cu at Curry.
Dios just received the report dated February 15
from its Geological Consultants on prospecting, rock sampling and
diamond drilling. Dios drilled 13 holes for 2540 meters by
helicopter on ten favourable Induced
Polarization conductors, associated with surface
gold-silver-copper grab-samples and/or soil-samples. Prospecting on
IP conductors in September and drilling program
ended October 21, with last core sent to ALS Val d’Or in
mid-November, was supervised by Harold Desbiens M.Sc. P.Geo &
43-101 QP. (1304 core samples (10% blanks) and 101 grab samples
(not representative of whole property).
Dios also currently works on 4-5 lithium
projects with significant lithium inprint signature and other
critical elements in James Bay, Quebec. Lithium
metal is necessary to decarbonization and energy
transition.
