[{"type":"text","content":"\n\nTSX-V:SOI \n\n\n\nMONTREAL, Dec. 8, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - Management of SIRIOS (TSX-V: SOI) is pleased to announce the latest results of the diamond drilling program undertaken last October on the CHEECHOO gold property, in the region of the Eleonore gold mine of Goldcorp in James Bay, Quebec. Two separate gold zones were intersected by drill hole #18. The first zone consists of a high grade section of 7.24 g/t Au over 7.9 m who is part of a larger section of 33.5 meters grading 2.02 g/t Au, while the second one graded 1.53 g/t Au over 19.5 meters including a section of 2.04 g/t Au over 8.8 m with the presence of visible gold.\n\nDominique Doucet, President of SIRIOS said: \"As mentioned previously, with each new hole, the project CHEECHOO continues to improve. Drill hole #18 adds sections of several meters in thickness with increasingly high gold grades which are included in intervals in the order of tens of meters now ranging between 1 g/t Au and 2.9 g/t Au. Additional new drill holes will allow us soon to connect with a certain degree of confidence, various already intersected gold zones such as to assess their lateral extents that are potentially of several hundred meters.\"\n\nThe assays show that while the entire hole #18 is included in a gold envelope of lower grade, his total weighted average grade yielded 0.68 g/t Au over 199 m. Drill holes have already indicated that this gold envelope hosted in the tonalite on CHEECHOO extends over a minimum length of over 1.1 km from southeast to northwest, all inside the property.\n\nThe drilling program completed in October included two new diamond drill holes (#18 and #19) in addition to the deepening of vertical drill hole #17 for a total of 522 meters. Drill hole #18 is located about 150 meters northwest of hole #10 as well as #17 and about 300 meters southeast of hole #16. Drill hole #19, whose assaying results are expected shortly, is located halfway between holes #16 and #18, approximately 150 meters north-west of #18.
