October 03 2024 - 9:00AM
The management of
Sirios Resources Inc. (TSX-V:
SOI) is pleased to announce the execution of field work on
the Aquilon gold property located in Eeyou Istchee James Bay,
Quebec, in partnership with Sumitomo Metal Mining Canada Ltd.
(Sumitomo). Mechanical stripping, mapping, channel sampling of
outcrop, as well as rehabilitation of old trenches will be carried
out over the next three weeks on targets resulting from the soil
geochemical sampling survey (B horizon) completed last June. Most
of these new targets, with a general north-south orientation, are
in the western portion of the property, an area distinct from the
one containing the main gold showings previously identified

will be ready to be tested in early 2025

Sumitomo, with Sirios as the operator. Sumitomo has the option to
acquire up to an 80% interest in the Aquilon project by making an
investment of $14.8M (ref. press release of 12/19/2022).
