Sirios Resources

 

 

 

 

Sirios Resources (TSX-V: SOI) (OTCQB: SIREF) is developing the Cheechoo Gold Property, a near-surface gold deposit with both open-pit and underground mining potential, located less than 15 km from Newmont’s Éléonore gold mine in Québec’s James Bay district. The company’s strategy centers on intensive drilling to delineate high-grade zones and update the mineral resource estimate, with the goal of defining a multi-million-ounce gold resource.

 

Projects

Cheechoo Gold Property

  • Location: Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Québec, Canada
  • Size: 15,700 hectares
  • Ownership: 100% owned by Sirios, subject to a royalty of up to 4% of net returns to Gold Royalty Corpsirios

    • Open-Pit Inferred: 38,222,000 tonnes at 1.01 g/t Au (1,242,000 contained ounces)
    • Underground Inferred: 4,493,000 tonnes at 3.09 g/t Au (446,000 contained ounces)sirios

 

The deposit is hosted in the Cheechoo tonalite intrusion and features multiple gold-enriched zones, including the high-grade Eclipse Zone, with extensive high-grade drill intercepts across the property.
