Sirios Begins Work on Its Aquilon Gold Property
28 Febrero 2023 - 8:00AM
Management of
SIRIOS RESOURCES INC. (TSX-V: SOI)
is pleased to announce the start of the 2023 exploration program on
its Aquilon gold property. The program is financed by Sumitomo
Metal Mining Canada (Sumitomo), with Sirios as the operator.
Sumitomo has an option to acquire up to an 80% interest in Aquilon,
following an investment totaling $14.8M (ref. press release of
19/12/2022).
Work to be undertaken in the coming weeks will
include:
- Large-scale till
geochemical sampling survey to locate new undercover
mineralized areas;
- Induced Polarization (IP)
ground geophysical survey (approximately 40-line km) to
define extensions of the known sulphide-associated gold showings
and locate new showings;
- Series of mechanically
excavated trenches focusing on several geological and
geophysical targets. The trenches will be systematically sampled
and mapped during the summer.
This winter program will be followed in the
summer by intensive fieldwork including additional soil and rock
sampling as well as geophysical and geological surveys in order to
advance the property to a drill-ready stage by the end of 2023.
