[{"type":"text","content":" MONTREAL, Oct. 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dios Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: DOS) reports successful completion of first phase diamond drill program in eastern K2 gold-copper property, James Bay, Quebec. Some 2020 metres of drilling in 7 holes tested with success the following targets. 1) Sesame gold Target conductor, in northeast K2, a 2 km long airborne IP anomaly, was drilled for 664 m in 2 holes 400 m apart, cutting a 42-48 m wide foliated biotite-rich shear zone with 0.5 to 2 % disseminated pyrite. Chalchopyrite occurs, up to 2 % over 30 cm. Visible gold was noted in one hole. 2) Some 9 km SE, southeastern K2 strong first priority ground induced polarization IP conductor area with related gold-in-soil anomalies. The drilling team was able to find 2 spots to drill successfully 2 holes 800 m apart totalling 840 m along 3 km long sub-parallel P07-P06 conductors. Both holes intersected a thick sequence (70-100 m) of alternating intermediate ashes, lapillis and crystal volcanic tuffs/ graphitic argillites/ laminated mafic and felsic tuffs variably mineralized with 1-15%, up to 25% disseminated (& in stringers) pyrrhotite-pyrite (traces sphalerite) overlying biotite wackes (sedimentary rocks). Geophysical and geochemical anomalies are located within a non-outcropping swampy area along the northern flank of a regional overturned syncline hinge-fold (structural trap good for gold). Extents of these zones (P07-P06-P05) will be winter drilled due to wet ground conditions. Some 850 m north of P07 conductor lies 600 m long P11 conductor (still open to the west) coincidental with an extensive magnetic lineament. A 254 m long hole hit with success a 50 meter thick sequence of chert/ mafic-intermediate tuffs/ graphitic argillites mineralized with 1-30% disseminated (& in stringers) pyrrhotite-pyrite in a mafic volcanic domain. Then 1 km SW, this magnetic feature is laterally associated down-ice with clusters of gold-in-soil, copper-in- soil and arsenic-in-soil anomalies along a 3.5 km-long VLF (Very Low Frequency EM) conductor; 2 holes in one section for 260 m cut through a 53.65 meters thick sequence of chert/ mafic-intermediate volcanic tuffs/ graphitic argillites mineralized with 1-40% disseminated (& in stringers) pyrrhotite-pyrite overlying a several m thick (3 -7.32 meters) massive sulfide horizon (70...
