Significant 900 m long IP anomaly over Badji gold-copper-silver showing from IP survey just completed in northeastern K2, SW of AZM Patwon gold discovery

 

MONTREAL, Aug. 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dios Exploration (“Dios”) (TSX-V: DOS) is very pleased to report ground induced polarization IP survey is completed on northeastern K2 property and reveals significant preliminary results in volcanic rocks intertwined with small gabbro plug series, 9-10 km SW of Patwon discovery, along prospective shear zone gold corridor.

Significant 900 m long PP-5 chargeability anomaly identified gold-copper-silver mineralized drill-ready Badji zone in volcanics as strong IP anomaly.

Dios discovered Badji showing (5.39 g/t gold, 111 g/t silver, 5.05% copper, 93 ppm bismuth) consisting of pyrite-chalcopyrite centimetric stringers in foliated strongly sericitized dacite, a few km NE of a major mineralized system: a gold-copper-silver bearing volcanic dome on top of a large porphyry, itself on top of Kali intrusion.

M.J. Girard, President of Dios, stated:``We are extremely pleased with these IP results and they are released, though preliminary, due to their major significance, specially in association with mineralized in situ rocks.``    

Very interesting 400 m long PP-3, very strong in its center part, is also in volcanics but interestingly borders the southern contact of a small gabbro plug.

Strong 400 m PP-1 is associated with sulfidic mineralization in a magnetic gabbro including SDBJ showing (1.08 % copper, 13.8 g/t silver, .410 g/t gold). These gabbro plugs have to be prospected.  

Shiva horizon (2.12 g/t Au and 1.35 g/t Au in volcanics) was confirmed by PP-8 & PP-9.

This 16 km-line IP survey with 200 m line spacing helps fine tuning of drill targets for promising mid-September drill program on wholly-owned K2, James Bay, Quebec, 4-5 km north of major Opinaca fault, in same geological formation as is underlying Azimut’s Elmer property.  

This time-domain dipole-dipole IP survey was completed for depth levels n = 1 to 8. Processing is ongoing for final results and 3D inversion, further news pending. Preliminary maps will be available on Dios website. This release was prepared by Marie-José Girard, M. Sc. P. Geo, 43-101 Qualified Person.
