Hole 19 did hit 3.65 grams gold per tonne over 13 m (71 m-84 m) within 64 m true thickness interval grading 1.21 g/t gold on HEBERTO.
Hole 19 (3.65g/t Au/13m) is 112 m west of Hole 1 and 50 m north of Hole 6 (2,23g/t Au/7.75 m).
Hole 19 is 50 m south of Hole 1 (2.13g/t Au/22.9m), of Hole 9 (2 g/t Au/22 m) & of Hole10 (1.8 g/t Au/18.45 m).
Gold zones can be followed in strike and at depth. Gold is associated with fine grained pyrite and magnetite in several meters thick potassic altered shear zones.
An EW-NE deformation zone was enhanced on the property, to be the focus of future work.
Heberto Gold is located at the contact of a low mag with a higher magnetic area, seeming to extend eastward as wellas different ENE structures. Studies are ongoing on in that sense.

Dios' geochemical data returned significant gold-in-till values east of Heberto discovery outcrop, hiding possible gold occurrences. See cluster of golden triangles on map:
A detailed drone magnetic survey was undertaken during this quarter ended on Dios' wholly-owned AU33 gold property and Heberto Gold discovery extents, James Bay Eeyou Itschee, Quebec, adjacent to Eastmain hydropower facilities.
The detailed 820 kilometer-lines magnetic survey was undertaken at tree top level with 35 meter spacing and in more detailed spacing every17.5 meter on Heberto Gold and eastern extents and another target area. Results should be available in a few weeks, to more precisely define gold targets and structural features for further diamond drilling to come.
K2 propertyIn early July, Azimut Exploration inc. acquired 100% interest in 103 claims covering 54.3 sq. km forming the K2 Property (the "K2 claims") in the western part of the Lower Eastmain Archean Greenstone Belt, for a cash payment of C$120,000 and the issuance of 200,000 Common Shares of Azimut.
