The management of
Sirios Resources Inc. (TSX-V:
SOI) is pleased to announce an update on the work in
progress on its two main projects, the Cheechoo and Aquilon gold
properties.
CHEECHOO:
Resource estimate update
Sirios recently awarded consulting firms BBA
Inc. and PLR Resources Inc. the mandate for updating the
mineral resource estimate. One of the main objectives of
this estimate will be to define, for the first time,
indicated resources for the Cheechoo gold deposit.
This conversion from inferred to indicated resources will increase
the robustness of the Preliminary Economic Study (PEA) that will be
carried out thereafter.
Exploration and development
work
Prospecting work was carried
out during the months of June and July 2022 in the area to the east
of the 2020 conceptual pit in order to extend the new gold
zone which was intersected in the meta-sedimentary rocks
during the summer 2021 drilling program (ref. press release of
14/12/2021). A total of 61 samples were collected from this area
and are currently awaiting processing at the ALS laboratory in Val
d’Or.
Representative samples of the Cheechoo gold
mineralization were also collected for further
metallurgical testing in order to determine the
optimal processing procedure for the Cheechoo deposit.
Infrastructure improvements
Improvements and renovations to the
Cheechoo camp have been successfully completed, increasing
the camp's accommodation capacity, which will allow for an
increased capability for future exploration and development
activities.
Finally, improvement work on the
project's access road was also successfully completed. The
Cheechoo camp is now easily accessible by pickup truck or other
light vehicle, which will increase the access and improve the
timing of future exploration and development work.
AQUILON:
Phase 1 of the Aquilon “relogging”
program (comprehensive and standardized description of
historical drill core) was completed at the end of June. The
information resulting from this relogging program will allow
new 3D modeling to be carried out that will
include the new structural data collected in the fall of 2021. This
update of the geological modeling of the Aquilon property
represents one of the first stages of a systematic
exploration program that will continue into 2024.
About the Cheechoo Property
The Cheechoo gold property is 100% owned by
Sirios and consists of 225 claims covering an area of 118 km2,
divided into three non-contiguous blocks. It is located in Eeyou
Istchee James Bay, Quebec, less than 9 km from Newmont’s Eleonore
gold mine and is easily accessible by all-season roads. The
project's most recent resource estimate (October 2020) delineated
inferred resources of 2.0 million ounces of gold contained
in 93.0 million tonnes at 0.65 g/t Au, with significant
potential to increase in this resource (BBA, P-L. Richard, P. Geo.;
J. Torrealba, P. Eng.; D. Evangelista, P. Eng., NI 43-101 Technical
Report, Mineral Resource Estimate Update for The Cheechoo Project,
31/10/2020).
About the Aquilon Property
The Aquilon gold property is 100% owned by
Sirios and consists of 140 claims covering an area of 68 km2. It is
located in Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec, 10 km south of the
Laforge-1 hydroelectric power station and is easily accessible by
all-season roads. To date, 32 gold showings have been discovered on
the property. Some drill intercepts on the Aquilon project are
among the highest grades obtained in Quebec, including
12,906.5 g/t Au over 0.20 m (Lingo showing),
3,527.4 g/t Au over 0.40 m (Moman showing) and
133.67 g/t Au over 0.82 m (Fleur-de-Lys showing)
(ref. press releases of 26/06/2008 and 19/01/2011).
The scientific and technical content of this
press release has been reviewed and approved by Jordi Turcotte,
P.Geo. and Roger Moar, P.Geo., both qualified persons under
National Instrument 43-101.
