[{"type":"text","content":"MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Nov. 29, 2017) - DIOS EXPLORATION (TSX VENTURE:DOS) discovers new gold occurrences 8 km west of K2, up to 6.72 grams per ton gold in rocks and significantly up to 233 ppb gold in B-horizon 50 m apart, some 700 m down-ice of electromagnetic conductor anomalies. Prospecting and mapping was carried out by Dios Exploration on K2 in 2017, along Lower Eastmain Greenstone belt, James Bay Eeyou Istchee, Quebec. Special effort was put on Attila showings extents, on the magnetic lineament along southwest margin of Kali plug and on the Western (inputs/vtem) conductor area. At western end of wholly-owned K2 gold-silver-copper property, previous airborne geophysical surveys defined a non-outcropping three-kilometer long electromagnetic conductor at margin of Kali plug and adjacent volcanics: WI-target (9 inputs & vtem anomalies). The inputs may be interpreted as two parallel eastwest conductors at southeast limit of a 4 x 0.5 km low magnetic anomaly. Further west, additional inputs-EM conductors extend for a minimum strike length of 7-8 kilometer within favourable volcanic rocks. Reconnaissance was difficult due to bogs overlying most of western inputs. A single soil test-line of 4 samples was possible over two NE-SW drumlins between 2 inputs, and two of these B-horizon samples (50m apart) show very significant gold contents, i.e. 49 and 283 ppb gold. This B-horizon gold-in-soil anomaly remains open to the north (bog) and laterally. Along same drumlin, a glacial rock boulder with 1% pyrite assayed 6.72 g/t Au, 29 g/t Ag & 0.12% Cu. Some 700 meters east of the goldbearing boulder is a non-outcropping 1 km-long vtem conductor coincidental with the three most eastern inputs. Systematic soil-sampling along the drumlin as well as induced polarization over the WI-target are planned. Processing of available airborne mag-vtem data for disseminated/ weak conductors (apparent induced polarization) is in progress. About 8 km east of WI-target, the main Attila showing, a chalcopyrite-rich stringer/ quartz- chlorite- carbonate stockwork zone extending over 75m and about 5-15m wide yielded up to 8.08 g/t Au, 96.7 g/t Ag, 2.43% Cu & 0.17% Zn. A total of 13 rock samples collected in 2016 from the «Attila Zone» averaged grades of 1.07 g/t Au, 38.8 g/t Ag, 1.25% Cu & 0.01% Bi. Approximately 100m north, Attila-N...
