Sirios Resources Inc. (TSX-V: SOI; OTCQB: SIREF) (“Sirios” or the
“Company”) is pleased to announce the
presence of visible
gold at eight different locations in the first drill hole
of its Fall 2024 program on the Cheechoo gold project in Eeyou
Istchee James Bay, Québec.
Multiple gold grains were observed by Sirios geologists in drill
hole CH24-317 (Figure 1) at the following depths:
- 86.6m;
- 91.7m;
- 128.0m;
- 167.5m;
- 178.3m (Figure 2);
- 189.0m (Figure 3);
- 331.3m;
- Between 356.9m and 358.3m (Figure
4).
These observations confirm the presence of gold at multiple
locations along the hole, but only laboratory assay results will
specify the gold grade. The drill hole was completed yesterday
after reaching the planned depth of 399 meters.

Ongoing Drilling Program
Sirios is currently carrying out the first phase of a diamond
drilling program targeting high-grade zones of the Cheechoo gold
deposit. The Phase 1 program will consist of approximately 2,000
meters of drilling. Phase 2 will be of greater scope and will be
carried out during the winter of 2025.
Phase 1 focuses on delineating and expanding high-grade zones in
the eastern part of the deposit. Phase 2 will expand drilling to
the western part of the deposit, including the high-grade
Eclipse zone.
This drilling campaign marks a significant milestone in the
Company's new vision for the project, targeting
high-grade zones with potential for both open-pit and
underground development.
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 (see our interactive
3D model at sirios.com/en/cheechoo). 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.Source: BBA, Mineral Resource Estimate
Update for the Cheechoo Project, 23/12/2022
Underground mining scenarios have not
been evaluated in the 2022 MRE.
