(TSX-V: SOI) is pleased to announce assay results from 8 additional diamond drill holes totaling 2,025 metres from the September 2021 drilling program on the Cheechoo gold property, Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec. The most significant results of this drilling are listed below: 2.83 g/t Au over 55.0 m, including 97.56 g/t Au over 1.1 m (CH21-285) 2.95 g/t Au over 28.9 m, including 72.36 g/t Au over 1.0 m (CH21-283) 4.12 g/t Au over 12.5 m, including 45.54 g/t Au over 1.0 m (CH21-284) 1.76 g/t Au over 23.8 m (CH21-051E) 2.65 g/t Au over 11.7 m, including 27.35 g/t Au over 1.0 m (CH21-283) These 8 drill holes, located in the central part of the gold-bearing tonalite (the lithology that encompasses the bulk of the Cheechoo deposit), confirm the continuity of gold mineralization in the central portion of the conceptual pit shell, as defined in the 2020 Mineral Resource Estimate (see Figure #1). This data will be used in the preparation of the next mineral resource estimate for the Cheechoo Project, scheduled to be completed in 2022, and which is expected to include the conversion of a significant amount of inferred resources to indicated resources. The summer 2021 drilling program included 32 NQ drill holes totaling 6,789 meters. There are still 14 drill holes with pending results. Dominique Doucet, President and CEO, stated, “Once again, I am very pleased with the results of this new round of drilling which confirms our interpretation and assessment of the potential of the Cheechoo gold deposit. We continue to move forward towards our goal of developing a new mineral resource estimate, followed by a PEA.” Significant Results of the 8 Drill Holes Drill Hole CH21- From (m) To (m) Length* (m) Au (g/t) 051E** 218.2 242.0 23.8 1.76 incl. 219.4 221.5 2.1 6.06 incl. 235.0 236.6 1.6 13.81 251.0 263.0 12.0 0.44 275 11.2 20.3 9.1 0.91 281 99.0 113.2 14.2 1.30 incl. 104.0 105.1 1.1 11.42 282 38.1 74.5 36.4 0.48 106.6 122.0 15.4 1.82 incl. 114.6 118.6 4.0 6.26 136.8 155.5 18.7 1.50 176.5 187.4 10.9 0.77 241.4 278.0 36.6 0.57 incl. 263.0 272.0 9.0 1.36 303.0 312.0 9.0 0.95 340.5 349.1 8.6 0.89 283 8.0 47.0 39.0 0.72 incl. 25.1 26.6 1.5 6.59 61.3 73.0 11.7 2.65 63.3 64.3 1.0 27.35 88.1 117.0 28.9 2.95 104.8 105.8 1.0 72.36 155.0 161.0 6.0 2.36 incl. 160.0 161.0 ...
