Sirios intersects up to 2.65 g/t Au over 11 m at surface and extends the mineralization of the Cheechoo deposit by 400 m to the east into the metasediments
08 Noviembre 2022 - 8:12AM
The management of
Sirios Resources Inc. (TSX-V:
SOI) is pleased to report assay results from channel
samples collected last summer (Figure 1), which included 2.65 g/t
Au over 11.0 m (Figure 2). This confirms the
extension of
gold mineralization beyond the tonalite and into the
meta-greywackes (“metasediments”) outside of the conceptual
pit of the 2020 mineral resource estimate (MRE) of the
Cheechoo project. These results highlight a
new type of
gold mineralization hosted in metasediments, more typical
of the Eleonore mine.
In August and September, Sirios carried out
mechanized trenching and channel sampling of three areas in the
metasediments to the east of the conceptual pit of the Cheechoo
gold deposit. A total of 218 samples from 216 meters of channels
were sent to the ALS laboratory in Val-d'Or for analysis.
Significant results from these three trenches
(2022-A, B and C) are presented below:

A new geological setting for the gold
mineralization of the Cheechoo deposit
The high-grade gold results obtained during this
program are hosted in metasediments with 2-3% pyrrhotite and
arsenopyrite, as well as millimetric quartz-feldspar veinlets
(Figure 3), which represents a new geological context for
gold mineralization for the Cheechoo deposit.

g/t Au over 1.0 m). Metasediments (meta-greywacke) with 3%

veinlets.https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/4e7f542e-0b80-4b7f-8f17-f5a99e2db007
Intrusive rocks (tonalite and pegmatite) were
previously thought to be the only host rocks for gold
mineralization at Cheechoo. The discovery of these new high-grade
gold zones in the metasediments now confirms the presence of gold
mineralization more than 400 meters outside of the
tonalite.
Dominique Doucet, President and CEO of Sirios
said: “We are delighted with the exceptional results obtained for
the first time at surface within the metasediments. This poorly
explored geological unit adds major exploration
potential to the Cheechoo project, as it represents a new
sector favourable for gold mineralization that extends
several hundred meters to the east.”
“Our summer campaign proved to be a great
success thanks to the results of these new trenches, which seem to
be aligned along a northwest-southeast axis, along with the
gold-bearing zone intersected in the 2021 drilling, which notably
intersected an interval of 0.9 g/t Au over 15.7 m (ref. press
release of 12/14/2021). This news is very encouraging and follow-up
work (additional trenching and drilling) will therefore be
conducted in the metasediments in 2023.”
Assay Quality Control
The channel sampling was carried out, described
and sampled by Sirios personnel. Following a strict assay quality
assurance and control program, blanks and certified reference
materials were incorporated into the sampling sequence. Samples
were assayed for gold by fire assay with an atomic absorption
finish by ALS laboratories.
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 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,
