Mr. Dominique Doucet reports

SIRIOS RESUMES EXPLORATION ON AQUILON, EEYOU ISTCHEE JAMES BAY REGION, QUEBEC

Sirios Resources Inc. is resuming exploration work in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region. The Sirios exploration team is currently pursuing work on the Aquilon gold property, in partnership with Sumitomo Metal Mining Canada Ltd. Mapping and rock sampling on a series of trenches, a property-wide soil geochemical survey, a structural study, and borehole and drone geophysical surveys will be undertaken in the coming weeks.

An airborne lidar (light ranging and detection survey was completed last June over the entire property (67.4 square kilometres). This survey is in addition to large-scale geochemical till sampling, approximately 40 line km of induced polarization (IP) ground geophysical survey and 12 mechanically excavated trenches completed last March.

The current exploration program is financed by Sumitomo, with Sirios as operator. Sumitomo has the option to earn an 80-per-cent interest in the Aquilon project by making an investment of $14.8-million (refer to the press release of Dec. 19, 2022).

One-year extension to the validity of mining claims in regions affected by forest fires

Management of Sirios wishes to express its great appreciation for the exceptional measure recently undertaken by the Quebec Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, which adds 12 months to the current expiry date of an eligible claim. Eligible claims are mainly those acquired before Jan. 1, 2022, and located in territories affected by extended forest access and circulation bans due to forest fires. This measure affects 876 claims held by Sirios covering 451 square km in Eeyou Istchee Baie James.
