Visible Gold Observed in Extension of Drill Hole #317 at Cheechoo
16 Enero 2025 - 12:27PM
Sirios Resources Inc. (TSX-V: SOI; OTCQB: SIREF) ("Sirios"
or the "Company") is pleased to announce the
presence of visible gold in the extension of drill hole
#317 drilled this week on the Cheechoo gold project in
Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec.
Several gold grains were observed yesterday by
Sirios geologists in quartz veinlets at depths ranging from 499.5
to 507.5 m along the hole. The 2025 drilling began this week by
drilling the planned 100 m extension to this hole, initially
completed at a depth of 397.8 m last December. Following these
observations, the hole was extended to 522 m.
These observations confirm the presence of gold
in the drilled extension, but only laboratory analysis results will
specify the gold grade and its extent. Phase 2 of the 2024-2025
drilling program continues at Cheechoo.

Strategic Objectives
The primary objectives of this drill program are
to:
- Gather data to
support an upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE)
update;
- Test
high-priority targets identified during the comprehensive
data review conducted by Sirios during the summer of 2024.
Cheechoo’s High-Grade Zones
The Cheechoo gold deposit is hosted in a
tonalite intrusion characterized by multiple gold-enriched
zones encased in a lower-grade halo. In
addition to the Eclipse zone. numerous high-grade
intervals throughout the deposit suggest the occurrence of
additional high-grade zones. These zones may be found both within
and beyond the boundaries of the 2022 Mineral Resource
Estimate (MRE) conceptual pit.
About the Cheechoo Property
Located less than 15 km from Newmont's Éléonore
gold mine in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay territory of Québec. the
Cheechoo property. 100% owned by Sirios. contains an
untapped gold deposit with excellent expansion and
development potential.
The most recent mineral resource estimate (MRE)
reported. for an open-pit model. using a USD 1.650 gold price:
- Indicated
resources: 1.4 million ounces at an average grade
of 0.94 g/t Au;
- Inferred
resources: 500,000 ounces at an average grade of
0.73 g/t Au.

Qualified Person Statement and NI 43-101
Disclosure
The Mineral Resource Estimate mentioned in this
press release conforms 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.
Analytical quality controlThe drill core was
described and sampled by Sirios staff at the Cheechoo exploration
camp. The core was sawn into two halves, one sent to a certified
commercial laboratory for analysis, and the other retained for
future reference. Following a strict analytical quality assurance
and control program, blanks and certified reference materials were
integrated into the sampling sequence. Samples were assayed for
gold, on approximately 500g of crushed material, with the Photon
AssayTM method (PAAU02) at the MSALABS laboratory located in
Val-d'Or. Samples with the presence of visible gold were assayed
using the entire sample material with the Photon AssayTM method. A
whole-rock geochemical analysis was also performed by ICP-MS and
ICP-OES on most of the samples.
The scientific and technical information
contained in this press release has been reviewed and approved by
