DIOS Defines Good EM-VLF Drill Targets SW & South of Attila, at Southern Contact of Volcanic Dome With Dacite Flows
18 June 2021 - 2:02AM
Dios Exploration Inc. (“Dios”) (TSX-V:
DOS) is pleased to report good EM-VLF conductor drill targets
were defined at southern contact of volcanic dome hosting Attila
gold-copper-silver showing. This SW striking volcanic dome &
dacite flow contact is 2.5 km long and a tuff horizon lies in
its northeast extent.
To the southwest, where this prospective contact
hits the Opinaca fault lies the most interesting VLF anomaly drill
target, at least 500 m long, open to the east and located 120 north
of a 3.17 g/t Au outcrop, north of Opinaca fault and major 5 km
long sericite alteration corridor. Opinaca gold showing (previously
up to 3.17 g/ Au) shows blue quartz eye sericite schists with 2-10%
pyrite & chalcopyrite traces.
VLF anomalies could represent a contact shear
zone or sulfides, good targets for gold-copper. Drilling is
required due to marine clay cover. Hole 9 southward on Attila
showing did not reach this contact area nor the VLF anomalies.
Two holes for 492 m were drilled on Attila, in
fractured silica and sericite altered dacite with 1-7 percent
quartz-chlorite-pyrite stringers with 1- 3% pyrite and
chalcopyrite traces over 400 m x 500 m.
Southward (gold-copper-zinc soil anomalies),
hole 9 cut dacite with numerous mineralized intervals (15 to 40
meters thick) ending in mineralized sericite diorite with 1-5%
pyrite for last 13 m, open at 312 m. Best section of hole 9 is
6.3g/t Ag over 10 m with anomalous gold and copper
(267-276m) including 25.8g/t Ag, 0.118g/t Au,
1.07%Cu (267-268m).
Northward, hole 10 hit similar dacite sequence
with several mineralized intervals (22 to 46 meters thick) (0.90
g/t Ag, 0.060g/t Au, over 2 meters) also ending in chloritized and
silicified diorite with 1-3% pyrite for last 7 m, still mineralized
at 180 m.
M.J. Girard, President of Dios stated: "Attila
prospect, located near crosscutting Kali fault, is a large
chalcopyrite-rich stringer/stockwork, up to 8.08
g/t gold, 96.7 g/t silver, 2.43% copper, in a fractured rhyodacite
dome overlying Kali Porphyry to the south. Assay data re-checks
show gold is associated with chalcopyrite (copper). Drilling under
the stringer/stockwork zone showed intense pyrite mineralization at
depth, but less chalcopyrite. VMS systems usually show zoning in
metal and mineral content. The Kali prospect 500 m north along Kali
fault graded up to 8.28% copper, 40 g/t Ag and 2.6 g/t Au at Kali
pluton contact. A big system occurs in this area. Follow-up work
will focus on VLF-EM anomalies bordering the volcanic dome, on Kali
prospect, on Opinaca zone, and prospecting a northern gabbro where
volcanics returned 5.4 g/t Au."
The Sesame gold target, some 5
km north of Attila, is a two-kilometre-long, 200 metre to 400 m
wide, northeast-striking airborne induced polarization anomaly,
north of Kali pluton, and remains the
number one drill target for the short term. (see
