MONTREAL, June 9 /CNW Telbec/ - Officers of SIRIOS RESOURCES INC. (TSX- V:SOI) are pleased to announce the acquisition of additional new claims in the vicinity of the Eleonore gold discovery of Virginia Gold Mines Inc. The KAMES gold property has now been expanded to 600 claims (290 pending) covering 320 square km (80,000 acres). Detailed bottom-lake sediment sampling and prospecting in the fore-coming weeks on the KUKAMES and OPINACA NORTH fully-owned properties of SIRIOS. SIRIOS controls now 1,309 claims covering more than 680 square km (170,000 acres) of high potential ground in four projects in the Eleonore Discovery region : CHEECHOO, SHARKS, KUKAMES and OPINACA NORTH. Two projects are under option : the CHEECHOO project with partner Golden Valley Mines Ltd., and the SHARKS project being farmed out to Canadian Royalties Inc. Both farming in partners must spend respectively a minimum 1M$ of exploration expenditures on each property before gaining a minimum of 60% interest (Press releases : December 3 and 16, 2004; January 20 and February 7, 2005). The KUKAMES property is located about 25 km southeast of the Eleonore gold discovery of Virginia. The KUKAMES property was selected following study of the public geological, geochemical and geophysical regional data. It is centered on a diorite with a characteristic good magnetic signature and is in contact with meta-sedimentary rocks. Two pluri-kilometric gold anomalies in lake sediments occur on the property along NW-SE geophysical lineaments. An extensive (30 km x 5 km) copper lake sediment anomaly seems related with the magnetic diorite. The property covers more than 40 km of favorable strike length close to the limit of the La Grande and the Opinaca Archean geological sub-provinces. The four properties of SIRIOS are shown on the map available on the web at : http://www.sirios.com/sirios/docs/opinaca_map.jpg SIRIOS is exploring for precious and base metals in Quebec.
