Rubidium, Beryllium, Tantalum and Cesium Associated With the SIRIOS-DIOS Lithium Discovery

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Feb. 8, 2010) - SIRIOS RESOURCES INC. (TSX VENTURE:SOI)announces the assay results of several metals associated with its lithium discovery on the PONTAX – LITHIUM property, which is equally held with EXPLORATION DIOS INC. (TSXVENTURE:DOS), in James Bay, Quebec. The results from the lithiumpegmatites show grades of up to 4,980 ppm (g/t) over 1.8 m of rubidium(Rb), 484 ppm over 3 m in beryllium (Be), 204 ppm over 4 m in tantalumand 480 ppm over 2 m of cesium.

Dominique Doucet, president of SIRIOS states: "Our PONTAX-LITHIUM discoveryis the most recent significant lithium discovery in eastern Canada. Itwill certainly gain importance as additional work is undertaken on theproperty. Other lithium projects from companies such Lithium One,Nemaska, and First Gold, all within an 80 km radius of our property,undoubtedly define a significant lithium metallogenic province in thissector of James Bay."

The main assays results are shown in the two following tables and contain only the pegmatite results:

Note: 1 ppm = 1 g/t and 1% = 10,000 ppm. True widths are approximately 85% of intersected widths.

Thedrilling and the channel sampling of last fall delineated a zone orswarm of pegmatites mineralised in lithium and other metals with awidth reaching up to 50 metres over a strike length of more than 425metres.

Thickness of the pegmatites, which are foundin mafic volcanic rocks, generally vary between 3 to 5 metres inthickness but can also reach up to 13.5 metres. The pegmatites aremineralized in spodumene (lithium alumino-silicate). The drilling didnot test further than 60 m below the surface. The zone is open at depthand on strike.

All drilling core samples and channelsamples were assayed at the Actlabs laboratories in Ancaster, Ontario.A strict QA/QC program was followed which included mineralizedstandards and blanks for each batch of samples. Sodium peroxide wasused to dissolve the samples and were assayed by ICP-AES and ICP-MS.Lithium assays results were converted into Li2O % (1% Li equals 2.15%Li2O).
