Sirios Initiates Drilling in Cheechoo's High-Grade Eclipse Gold Area
13 Febrero 2024 - 7:30AM
Management of
Sirios Resources Inc. (TSX-V: SOI; OTCQB:
SIREF) are pleased to announce the start of a
1,000-metre diamond drilling program aimed at
including the
high-grade Eclipse area in the next
update of the Mineral Resource Estimation (MRE) for the Cheechoo
property.
Located west of the main Cheechoo gold
deposit (figure 1), the Eclipse area is not included in
the updated 2022 MRE, which outlined 1.4 Million Gold
Ounces (Indicated) and 500,000 Gold Ounces (Inferred)
(BBA, Mineral Resource Estimate Update for the Cheechoo Project,
20/07/2022).
Highlights:
- Previous drilling defined the
high-grade Eclipse zone over approximately 120 m
laterally, 2 to 6 metres in width and
over 250 m deep (open at depth).
- Several
high- and very high-grade gold intervals were intersected
in the Eclipse area (figure 2).
- Gold
mineralization at Eclipse is associated with various
quartz-feldspar veins, veinlets and stockworks
hosted in a tonalite intrusion, with the presence of arsenopyrite
and pyrrhotite (typically 0.5 to 1%) as well as visible
gold grains.
A detailed presentation about the Eclipse high-grade
gold area is available here:

Dominique Doucet, President and CEO of Sirios,
stated: “Due to the high-grade gold content of the Eclipse zone, we
can foresee an underground mining scenario using a ramp
access for this zone that would enable us to reach the
mining operation stage more quickly. This underground operation
would then set the stage for starting large-scale open-pit
mining in the main area of the Cheechoo deposit.”
Upcoming EventSirios will be
attending the 2024 PDAC Convention in Toronto from
March 3 to 6. Come and meet us at booth #2910!

About the Cheechoo PropertyThe
Cheechoo gold property, 100% owned by Sirios, is located in Eeyou
Istchee James Bay in Quebec, 200 km east of Wemindji and less than
10 km from the Newmont’s Eleonore gold mine. The project's latest
resource update delineated, for an open pit model,
indicated resources of 1.4 million ounces of gold
contained in 46.3 million tonnes at an average grade of
0.94 g/t Au, as well as inferred resources
of 500,000 ounces of gold contained in 21.1 million tonnes
at a grade of 0.73 g/t Au (ref.: 12/06/2022 Press
Release).
About SiriosSirios Resources is
a Canadian mining exploration company focused on developing
its portfolio of high-potential gold properties in the
Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec.

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.
