Management of
Sirios Resources Inc. (TSX-V: SOI; OTCQB:
SIREF) ("Sirios") is pleased to announce the signing of an
option agreement on the south and west blocks of its Cheechoo
property (Figure 1) located in Eeyou Istchee James Bay in Quebec,
with Electric Elements Mining Corp. ("EEM"). EEM is new private
lithium company jointly created by Osisko Development Corp. and
Osisko Mining Inc. Pursuant to the agreement, Sirios granted EEM
the option to acquire up to a 100% interest in each of the south

EEM will explore both blocks for lithium and if
the option is exercised, Sirios will retain a 1.5% NSR ("Net
Smelter Return") royalty on the southern block.
In addition, if the option is exercised, Sirios
will be able to recover, at no cost, 100% of the claims on which
gold mineralization in bedrock reaching a minimum metal factor of
10 g/t per metre has been identified.
To obtain a 100% interest in the two blocks or,
at its option, in one or the other of the two blocks, EEM must,
over a period not exceeding two years:
- Pay an amount of $100,000 to Sirios
upon signature;
- Carry out a minimum of $50,000 in
exploration work on each of the two blocks;
- Pay an amount of $150,000 in cash
and/or shares, with a minimum of 50% in cash, per block at the
request of Sirios.
Sirios will retain 100% of the exploration
and exploitation rights for all mineral substances in the main
block of the property, where the Cheechoo gold deposit is
located.
