Sirios Resources Inc. announced the start of a 1,000-metre diamond drilling program aimed at including the high-grade Eclipse area in the next update of the Mineral Resource Estimation (MRE) for the Cheechoo property. Located west of the main Cheechoo gold deposit, the Eclipse area is not included in the updated 2022 MRE, which outlined 1.4 Million Gold Ounces (Indicated) and 500,000 Gold Ounces (Inferred) (BBA, Mineral Resource Estimate Update for the Cheechoo Project, 20/07/2022). Previous drilling defined the high-grade Eclipse zone over approximately 120 m laterally, 2 to 6 metres in width and over 250 m deep (open at depth).

Several high- and very high-grade gold intervals were intersected in the Eclipse area. Gold mineralization at Eclipse is associated with various quartz-feldspar veins, veinlets and stockworks hosted in a tonalite intrusion, with the presence of arsenopyrite and pyrrhotite (typically 0.5 to 1%) as well as visible gold grains.
