DIOS INITIATED DIAMOND DRILLING ON AU33 GOLD PROJECT

Dios Exploration Inc. has undertaken about 2,000 metres of diamond drilling as a start on Au33 Heberto gold extents, along gold-bearing silicified potassic shear zones near surface.

Dios confirms receipt of all permits: forestry intervention permit and ATI authorizations for impact exploration work covering drilling and stripping activities, Au33 gold project, Eeyou Istchee James-Bay, Quebec.

The Heberto gold system is located within a five-by-eight-kilometre highly anomalous gold-in-outcrop, gold-in-till, gold-in-soil area (B-soil and humus), 50 kilometres south of the Eleonore world-class gold mine and 20 kilometres west of the Clearwater gold deposit. Located within the Mitsumis tonalite batholith, gold zones seem related to younger intrusive plugs. They could have brought up gold mineralization near surface. Dios is currently focusing on Heberto gold, but several other surface areas need to be drilled. This Dios flagship high-potential gold property was drone magnetic surveyed in late 2025 for detailed structures to prepare for ground access diamond drilling in 2026 moving forward.

Gold prices are currently at a very rare high and have incredibly increased since first drilling discovery of Heberto gold by Dios in 2015 to 2017.

Adjacent to Eastmain1 hydropower Bernard-Landry facilities, the Au33 project, 60 kilometres north of Nemiscau village, is accessible year-round through an eastward road from James Bay Road.
