[{"type":"text","content":" MONTREAL, Feb. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dios Exploration drilled significant copper intercepts in Fall program completed on October 21 on K2, James Bay, southwest of favourable gold-bearing Patwon & Barrick shears in dacite (volcanics) and gabbro/quartz porphyry bodies. Copper metal is necessary to decarbonization and energy transition, such as lithium. Dios hit 35.2 m @ 1645 ppm Cu &1.93 g/t Ag and 28.5 m @ 1032 ppm Cu & 0.28 g/t Ag. Extensive one km long PP-5 conductor was well outlined by last Fall IP survey, also coincidental with Badji showing (5.05% copper 5.39 g/t gold, 111 g/t silver with cm pyrite-chalcopyrite stringers in foliated and strongly sericitized dacite) and historical SDBJ showing (1.08% Cu & 13.8 g/t Ag). PP-5 was tested by 6 holes (1 to 5 & 11) cutting several decametric silicified dacite with disseminated PY-PO-CPY (& stringers) and QFP (quartz-feldspar porphyry) with 1-5% disseminated (& stringers) pyrite.
