[{"type":"text","content":"MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - June 12, 2017) - DIOS EXPLORATION (TSX VENTURE:DOS) reports results completed in last two weeks for successful Spring drilling program on wholly-owned Heberto gold discovery, Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec. Tens of meters of mineralized zones were intersected in each of the seven holes, totalling 1,734 meters. Results will also help plan follow-up exploration activities on the property. Each drill hole did hit gold mineralization. Some drill sections were tested more at depth and still encountered gold mineralization, so the drilling campaign was a success in showing the continuation of gold mineralized zones at depth and in strike for 500 m. Deepening of hole 17 intersected 10.3 grams gold per tonne (g/t gold) over one meter true width included in 3.3 g/t gold over 3.33 m or 1.7 g/t gold over 7.2 m (1.13 g over 11 m) at some 275 m vertical depth. This zone seems to fit with a deeper zone in hole 9 in same section that had returned 2.9 g/t gold over 3 m (incl. in 0.8 g/t gold over 14.75 m). Let us recall hole 9 returned an upper zone of 22 m true width grading 2 g/t gold, and hole 1 in same drill section had returned 2.13 g/t gold over 2.13 m (4.8 g/t gold over 8.65 m) and hole 10 had a value of 1.8 g/t over 18.45 m true width and surface sampling returned 5.18 g/t gold over 5.25 m. A step-out hole some 200 m more to the north in strike still hit gold mineralization with hole 26 returning around 1 g/t gold over 12 m (true width) including values of 5 g/t gold over one m and 5.3 g/t gold over one m (0.6 g/t gold / 20.1 m). Another zone some 17 m upper in same hole returned 0.6 g/t over 8.75 m. The silicified altered shear zones show strike continuity, as there had been an intercept of 3.23 g/t gold over 3.7 m in section 60 m south and an intercept of 2.53 g/t gold over 3 m in section 60 m north in strike. Hole 25 in section with hole 14 returned 2.77 g/t Au / 1m, 1.92 g/t Au / 0.75 m (1.124 g/t Au/ 1.75m), 3.11 g/t Au / 0.75 m within 14.84 m with 0.41 g/t gold and then deeper, another intercept of 5.7 m with 0.622 g/t gold. That hole should be deepened. Hole 14 had returned 1.85 g/t Au / 7.1 m. Hole 24 returned 0.81 g/t gold over 10 m (0.66 g / 13 m). Hole 19 had returned 3.65 g/t Au / 13 m and hole 13 a value of 2.1 g/t Au / 7.25 m in same section. Hole 21 returned 0.882 g/t gold over 3.4 m, 0.9...
