Sirios validates PhotonAssay™ gold analysis technology with samples from the Cheechoo gold deposit
09 Noviembre 2023 - 8:00AM
Management of
Sirios Resources Inc. (TSX-V: SOI)
announce that its validation testing of the PhotonAssayTM* gold
assay technology has been successfully completed. As previously
announced (ref.: press release dated 06/12/2023), some one hundred
core samples from selected sections of previous drilling at the
Cheechoo gold deposit were sent to MSALABS laboratories in Val-d'Or
in order to evaluate this new assay technique. Based on these
results, core samples taken during the recent 2023 drilling
campaign will be analyzed using this technology, which has among
other things, a lower environmental impact than other commonly used
analytical techniques.
Dominique Doucet, President of Sirios,
commented: “We are very proud to be using this new technology which
has just been introduced in Quebec. Since analyses will be
performed on a standard quantity of approximately 500 grams of
material, instead of the usual 50 grams used for fire assay, we
believe it will be more appropriate for analysing samples
containing coarse free gold (resulting in the nugget effect). In
addition, since PhotonAssayTM* analysis is non-destructive, it will
allow the sample to be used in the future for other tests, if
required. Finally, the time required to receive our analytical
results should be shorter.”
About Cheechoo PropertySirios’
100% owned Cheechoo property is 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’s Eleonore gold
mine.The last update of the mineral resource estimate for Cheechoo,
based on an open pit constrained model, includes
an indicated resource of 1.4 million
ounces of gold contained in 46.3 million tonnes at an
average grade of 0.94 g/t Au, and an
inferred resource of 0.5 million ounces of gold
contained in 21.1 million tonnes at an average grade of
0.73 g/t Au with significant potential for
increasing these resources (BBA, PLR Resources, P-L. Richard, P.

The estimate of Inferred Mineral Resources
mentioned in this press release conform to National Instrument
43-101 standards and was prepared by Pierre-Luc Richard, P. Geo.,
independent qualified person, as defined by NI 43-101 guidelines.
The effective date of the estimate is July 20, 2022. The
above-mentioned mineral resources are not mineral reserves as they
do not have demonstrated economic viability. The quantity and grade
of the reported Inferred Mineral Resources are conceptual in nature
and are estimated based on limited geological evidence and
sampling. Geological evidence is sufficient to imply but not verify
geological and grade or quality continuity.
