Dios Exploration

Uranium, silver, copper … rare earths

In 2009, on the Butte zone, three biotitite boulders assayed respectively 0.461%; 0.679% and 0.937% U3O8 and drilling almost underneath at a vertical depth of 120 m under the surface intersected up to 0.093% U3O8 over 3.5 m  (incl. in 0.04 % U3O8 over 12.5 m or 0.036 over 13.5 m in the same glimmerite material) and 5.9 g/t Ag; 0.26% Pb; 0.19% Zn over 60.2 m and hole #6 returned 0.056% U3O8 over 5.1 m at a further vertical 120 m depth underneath that hole in the same section, then some 40 m away, hole #7 returned 0.083% U3O8 over 2.6 m and a value of 0.045% U3O8 over 2 m in another section, this last one is included within 0.031% U3O8 over 5m.  Hole #10 returned 0.048% U3O8 over 4 m.  The Butte showing clearly hosts a very specific and distinct uranium bearing occurrence almost never observed elsewhere in the world: it seems of Proterozoic age, structure related though with large mineral crystals and hosted within what seems to be Laguiche metasediments.  The mineralization extends over a few meters wide and is now followed at depth down to 220 m and seems open at depth and along strike

A detailed structural interpretation and lineament studies were undertaken this winter over the whole Hotish property in order to locate other such structures, as well as on the GODZILA showing.  Detailed time-domain electro-magnetic testing was also completed on Butte and GODZILA, as well as detailed magnetics.

The GODZILA showing returned interesting results: 0.66% U3O8 (uranium oxide) over 1 meter at SRC and values over one meter each such as 0.255%, 0.151%, 0.067%, 0.067%, 0.026% and 0.021%, U3O8, each sample measuring one meter wide perpendicular to the 16 meter exposed and manually trenched mineralized zone (assays by Delayed Neutron Counting at Actlabs).  Leached alteration is very different from the Butte occurrence. Follow-up prospecting and trenching on the Gozila extensions are planned in 2011.

Processing and assaying for a detailed soil survey on Butte and B1 zones were also completed this winter.  Let us recall that the B1 zone returned this fall 0.34% and 0.23% U3O8 and in the Spring 0f 2009, nine samples over 0.3% U3O8 were returned, up to 0.854% and that a discovery of Rare Earth and Zirconium was completed: 0.36% REE (rare earth elements, not oxide values), 0.1% Y (yttrium), 1.5% Zr (Zirconium). Also the same area returned 0.787% U3O8.

In 2008-2009, on the Ring Dyke Target, a total of ten samples were taken including six grab-samples that were collected on amphibolitic floats containing 1-2% pyrite and traces-1% of chalcopyrite-malachite. Of these six amphibolitic samples, five returned   assays between 0.06-0.13% U308; 0.10-1.9% Cu, and 2-182 g/t Ag. The concentration of these specific boulders suggests a very proximal source. Re-examination of lake sediments, soils, rocks analysis as well as of the geophysical data is underway to evaluate the property potential for IOCG mineralization (Iron Oxide Copper Gold).

Proven Kimberlitic Occurrences

Kimberlitic material was intersected in thirteen holes on the Hotish property. At least three (3) distinct kimberlitic occurrences were defined, with one found outcropping. Further ground geophysical surveys, prospecting, and till sampling (280 samples) work was carried out simultaneously during the course of the drilling campaign. Another hole elsewhere on the property intersected a fourth occurrence of a few cm kimberlite sill.
In 2004, Dios found a one-foot melnoite float some ten kilometers up-ice from previously identified kimberlitic sills; the source of the float has not yet been found.

Hotish Diamond and Uranium Facts:

• Dios will pursue diamond exploration on specific targets as well as the evaluation of the uranium potential.
• The Hotish Property is wholly-owned by Dios without any encumbrances. 
• A helicopter-borne drilling program is planned for summer 2008 to test 7 to 9 uranium targets with 12 to 20 holes
• The latest till campaign yielded a number of quality KIMs that defined six new target areas.
