Execution of the first 25,000-metre drilling phase at Cheechoo begins with the mobilization of two drill rigs

Sirios Resources Inc. (TSX-V: SOI) (OTCQB: SIREF) announces that it has received all required permits, including the Authorization for Impact-Causing Exploration Work (ATI), for the execution of Phase 1 of the drilling campaign at Cheechoo, as announced in a press release dated April 1. In addition, the Company has mobilized the first two drill rigs to the project site. A third drill rig will be added at the end of June.

The Sirios team is also mobilizing a LIBS (Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy) unit to analyze drill core samples directly on site, improve the accuracy of core logging, and enhance the understanding of the deposit and its metallurgy. In addition to the drill cores generated during the summer campaign, a review program of existing core samples will also be carried out.

“Our project management team has done an excellent job, enabling us to begin drilling in early June as planned,” commented Jean-Félix Lepage, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sirios.

Dominique Doucet, Head of Exploration, added: “Site preparation work has been completed as scheduled. The installation of the LIBS system in modules designed by Sirios has also been completed, and we are very excited to use this cutting-edge technology to improve the accuracy of the project’s geological and metallurgical data.”

In addition, Sirios confirms that a helicopter-borne magnetic survey has been completed at the Fagnant gold project. This survey, combined with historical data, will enable Sirios to establish its field exploration strategy.
