[vc_row][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]Dios Exploration announced on September 24th, that two backhoes were moved this Fall on AU 33 WEST Gold Project.<\/p>\n

This is major work for this project.<\/p>\n

The trenching work is taking place this fall. Detailed rock sampling was undertaken and rocks to be assayed. The results will soon be published\u2026<\/p>\n

Why all this agitation?<\/strong>\u00a0Because Dios Exploration :<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Thinks of AU33 West in James Bay as its project with the best mining potential<\/li>\n
  2. Joint ventured with a major company,\u00a0Osisko<\/strong><\/a>, to fund total expenses over a 5 year period. The partnership is renewable for another 5 year period afterwards.<\/li>\n
  3. Considers that all main factors are in place to discover an economical mining deposit easily exploitable: surface exploitation and road infrastructures in proximity, the Eastmain 1 Hydro Power Complex road.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The best summer 2012 sampling results of rock outcrops and soils sustain such enthusiasm:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    12.6<\/td>\n\u00a0Granodiorite, fine grained, beige, rusty, 3%\u00a0pyrite, magnetite<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    11.8<\/td>\nTonalite, fine grained, strongly oxidized, quartz veinlet network, disseminated pyrite mainly in\u00a0quartz veinlets<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    4.7<\/td>\nGranodiorite, medium grained, beige, magnetic, rusty in places<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    1.7<\/td>\nGranodiorite \u00a0with pegmatite, aplite and felsic\u00a0dikes, quartz-hematite veinlets with \u00a0traces pyrite<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

    Please note that this geological model bears a lot of similarities with that of the\u00a0Malartic mine<\/a>\u00a0, operated by\u00a0Osisko<\/a>, with a gold grade of 1 g\/t.<\/p>\n

    Geographically, the project is located a few hundred kilometers north north-east of Matagami. Geologically, it is located in the Opinaca Eastmain emerging gold camp , some 60 km away from the world class Eleonore\u00a0 gold deposit developed by\u00a0Goldcorp<\/a>.<\/p>\n
