SIRIOS intersects 31.3 g/t Au over 1.0 m in the Eclipse Zone at Cheechoo
June 03 2019 - 9:20AM
Management of
SIRIOS Resources Inc.
(TSX-V: SOI) is pleased to announce results of the
final ten drill holes of the winter 2019 drilling campaign
completed on the Cheechoo gold property at Eeyou Istchee James Bay,
Quebec. Drill hole #228 intersected the Eclipse Zone with 31.1 g/t
Au over 1.0 metre at a vertical depth of 160 m. Drill hole #226
intersected 2.3 g/t Au over 14.2 metres, including 7.0 g/t Au over
4.2 m as well as an additional zone further down the hole with 0.7
g/t Au over 39.0 metres in the Echo area.
Drill hole #228 confirms that the high-grade
gold in the Eclipse Zone continues at depth with a defined
continuity of over 250 m following the plunge of the
mineralization. The Eclipse Zone is visually distinguishable by
quartz-feldspar veins with distinctive ‘giraffe’ texture, and a
stockwork of smoky quartz veins with arsenopyrite and visible
gold.
Gold intersections in drill hole #226 confirm
the extension of the auriferous mineralization in the Main area for
at least 100 metres toward the west, into the Echo area.
Significant results are presented in the table
below.

Dominique Doucet, President, states: "We are
very pleased with the results of the winter 2019 drilling campaign.
Significant results were obtained in all the tested areas,
including: very high-grade gold and continuity obtained in the
Éclipse Zone, Vein 112 and the Jordi Zone; extension of the Contact
area towards the north-west and at depth; the extension of the gold
mineralization of the Main area towards the west into the Echo area
and the continuity of the new Mafic Dyke area."
The winter 2019 drilling campaign on Cheechoo
included 47 NQ drill holes, for a total of 11,322 meters, drilled
in five separate areas.

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 Newmont Goldcorp’s Éléonore gold mine.
Assay quality control
All NQ drill core are logged by Sirios personnel
at the Cheechoo exploration camp. The drill core is 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
reference. A strict QA/QC program is in place by integrating blanks
and certified reference standards to the core sample sequence. The
samples are assayed for gold by fire assay with an atomic
absorption finish by ALS in Val-d’Or. Samples assaying greater than
2 g/t Au as well as drill core samples with visible gold are
assayed by fire assay with metallic sieve on a 1 kg sample.
