Montreal, QC \u2013 Sirios Resources Inc. (TSX-V: SOI; OTCQB: SIREF) (\u201cSirios\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d) is pleased to unveil a new vision for its Cheechoo gold project<\/strong>, located in Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s Eeyou Istchee James Bay territory. In the wake of the winter 2024 drilling program, Sirios embarked on a comprehensive management review of data, spanning several months. This in-depth analysis<\/strong>, conducted in collaboration with specialized geological and mining consultancy firms, including PLR Resources Inc., has yielded very promising results<\/strong>. The thorough examination has led to the identification of multiple high-priority targets for delineating high-grade zones that may lead to both open-pit and underground mining<\/strong>. Notably, the near-surface Eclipse zone has emerged as a standout prospect, exhibiting remarkable high-grade continuity<\/strong> across numerous drill holes (Figures 1 to 3). This strategic assessment has not only validated the company’s exploration efforts but also opened up new avenues for future development at the Cheechoo gold project<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dominique Doucet, CEO of Sirios, comments: \u201cWe are thrilled to launch this new vision for the Project. Cheechoo now presents dual potential: large-volume open-pit mining and\/or high-grade underground development. This new outlook is a game changer for the Project, consequently leading our team to design an intensive drilling program targeting high-grade enriched zones.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheechoo\u2019s High-Grade Zones<\/strong><\/h4><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Cheechoo tonalite intrusion forms the centerpiece of the property, characterized by multiple gold-enriched zones encased in a lower-grade halo<\/strong>. In addition to the Eclipse zone, numerous high-grade intervals throughout the deposit suggest the occurrence of additional high-grade zones<\/strong>. These zones may be found both within and beyond the boundaries of the 2022 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) conceptual pit (see Table 1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planned Drilling Program<\/strong><\/h4><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sirios’ technical team is currently designing an intensive drilling program<\/strong> aimed at delineating high-grade zones within the property. The company intends to disclose comprehensive details about this strategic program in forthcoming press releases, offering stakeholders valuable insights into Sirios’ exploration plans and objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) Update<\/strong><\/h4><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Following this drilling program, Sirios will proceed with an update of the mineral resource estimate. This update will serve as the basis for a future Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Website<\/strong><\/h4><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We are also proud to announce the launch of our redesigned and updated website. We invite you to visit <\/strong>sirios.com<\/strong><\/a> to discover our revamped platform which offers an enhanced user experience, featuring our <\/strong>exclusive interactive 3D model viewer<\/strong><\/a> for the Cheechoo deposit.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A French version of the website will be available soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located less than 15 km from Newmont’s \u00c9l\u00e9onore gold mine in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay territory of Qu\u00e9bec, the Cheechoo property, 100% owned by Sirios, contains an untapped gold deposit with excellent expansion and development potential<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
