MONTREAL, March 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sirios Resources Inc. (TSX-V: SOI; OTCQB: SIREF) ("Sirios" or the "Company") is very pleased to announce the results of five additional drill holes of its Fall-Winter 2024-25 program on the Cheechoo gold project in Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec.

Phase 2 Highlights (Winter 2025):

  • 13.48 g/t Au over 14.6 m, including 123.94 g/t Au over 1.0 m (CH25-321)

  • 56.41 g/t Au over 2.0 m, including 110.65 g/t Au over 1.0 m (CH25-317E)

  • 83.20 g/t Au over 1.1 m (CH25-317E)

  • 1.92 g/t Au over 34.0 m, including 20.52 g/t Au over 1.0 m (CH25-325)

  • 1.00 g/t Au over 30.5 m (CH24-323)

  • 1.15 g/t Au over 25.8 m (CH25-324)

  • 1.06 g/t Au over 18.3 m (CH25-322)

  • 3.54 g/t Au over 5.0 m (CH25-321)

New Vision Validated

The objective of the Fall-Winter 2024-25 drilling program was to validate the new vision for the Cheechoo gold project, which Sirios developed in the second half of 2024, as outlined in the October 7, 2024, press release. This new vision highlighted a dual potential for both large-volume open-pit and underground mining at Cheechoo, with multiple high-priority targets identified for delineating high-grade zones.

“We are thrilled with the results from our Fall-Winter 2024-25 drilling program,” said Dominique Doucet, President and CEO of Sirios. “We've consistently intercepted gold mineralization in all drill holes, precisely where our geological team predicted, validating our new interpretation of the deposit. Our team is now developing a new geological model based on the 2024 data review and recent drill results. This will lead to an upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) update that may include an underground component, potentially transforming Cheechoo and opening new development possibilities for the project.”
