DIOS PREPARES A DRILLING PROGRAM ON ITS AU33 GOLD PROJECT

Dios Exploration Inc. confirms receipt of ATI authorizations for impact exploration work covering drilling and stripping activities on wholly owned AU33 gold project hosting the Heberto discovery, Eeyou Istchee James-Bay, Quebec.

Dios's management is planning a minimum 2,000 metres of diamond drilling as a start on Heberto gold targets and extents, and on the northeast structural targets.

Gold targets from recent structural analysis of high-resolution magnetic survey completed on Au33 were uncovered (Jan. 8, 2026, news release) and some of them, such as the northeast targets, are found to be associated with highly anomalous gold-bearing B-soils and highly anomalous gold-bearing tills down-ice.

In addition to drilling, detailed B-horizon sampling is planned in other gold target potential areas outlined by the structural survey analysis to plan further diamond drilling.

In the vicinities of Eastmain-1 hydropower Bernard-Landry facilities, the Au33 project is accessible year-round via the road going eastward from James Bay Road, 60 kilometres north of Nemiscau village. This release was approved by Marie-Jose Girard, MSc, PGeo, National Instrument 43-101 qualified person.
