The bulk sampling is planned for winter 2011-2012. Moreover, Sirios now has until June 2012 to complete its work commitment on Aquilon in order to increase its interest from 40% to 50%.
DRILLING ON PONTAX AND PROSPECTING: RESULTS PENDING
Sirios is still awaiting the first core sample assay results from the drilling on Pontax completed in June (see July 13, 2011 press release).

Rock assay results from new projects (Baleine and Koala) are also expected, prospecting on these projects were undertaken in July.
