[{"type":"text","content":" MONTREAL, Feb. 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DIOS EXPLORATION is pleased to report first ever drilling in WTS area of AU33 property returned significant results, up to 18 g/t gold over 1 m (6.08 g/t gold / 3 m) and 4.41 g/t gold over 1 m in another hole (100 m apart). DIOS drilled ten exploratory 100-150m holes, often 200 m apart, up-ice of strong gold-in-till values: see table and map. Poorly outcropping WTS magnetic horizon was soil sampled in 2018-2019: gold anomaly clusters discovered (8 to 269 ppb gold) near two northeast low magnetic structures cut through 300-350 m wide magnetic WTS horizon. No goldbearing outcrop is known in WTS, 8 km NE of HEBERTO gold zones.

ROBINO BRECCIA Gold mineralization associated with Robino breccia is controlled by NNW to NS structures, including fractures, quartz stringers/veinlets, and shear zones, recalling geological context of Heberto.
