Dios Exploration Says 2026 Follow-Up Diamond Drilling on AU33 Gold Project Completed
Dios Exploration (DOS.V) said Thursday diamond drilling was completed in May on Dios wholly-owned AU33 property, totalling 2,024 meters in 10 NQ holes, 9 targeting Heberto Gold extents (1772 m), striking along gold-bearing silicified potassic altered shear zones near surface and 1 exploratory hole 7 km NE (252 m) in WTS south-east area.Drilling campaign was supervised by Laurentia Exploration geological team, said the company.Core logging was completed on site within mobile core facilities and core boxes were sent at the end to Laurentia Exploration Jonquiere Office for saw splitting (1,800 m), it stated."Half samples are already shipped to Actlab for gold-silver assaying, analytical results to be reported in batches as they come," said the company.Several Mineralized Silicified Altered Potassic shear zones (potassic-Feldspar and sericite) looking like Heberto Gold mineralization were hit in most holes, often with pyrite and sometimes magnetite and quartz-biotite veins, said the company."Metric to several meter mineralized shear zones were intercepted in many holes," added the company.Drilling aimed at extending known gold structures from Dios' Heberto historical gold drilling, it said."We are awaiting with enthusiasm assay results as mineralized silicified and potassic altered zones bearing much similarities to Heberto Gold were noted in several drilled cores in association with pyrite and sometimes magnetite and biotite," said M.J. Girard, President and Chief Executive Officer of Dios Exploration. "Heberto gold zones seem very continuous in 3-D modelling. Heberto is outcropping and shallow dipping towards west. More to the north, zones are still shallow dipping west, not deep. One could think this might eventually be amenable to small open pits for a start."
