BROSSARD, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Dec. 21, 2016) - DIAGNOS Inc. ("DIAGNOS" or the "Corporation") (TSX
VENTURE:ADK), a leader in applying Artificial Intelligence in data mining technical services, announces today the signing of an
agreement for the use of CARDS (Computer Aided Resource Detection Software) to generate mining targets on the Croinor Gold
property owned by Monarques Gold Corporation ("Monarques") (TSX VENTURE:MQR).
"The use of Artificial Intelligence ("AI") is rapidly growing in all spheres of our lives and the mining exploration sector
definitely needs new powerful tools to optimize the use of its capital to discover new mining deposits. The few new discoveries
in the mining world is concerning. In 2016, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, IBM have exposed us to AI. Diagnos uses and perfected
artificial intelligence since 2000 and is positioned as one of the pioneers in this industry," said Mr. Michel Fontaine,
Vice-President, mining of DIAGNOS.
"This agreement will allow us to complement and optimize our drilling campaign, thanks to the powerful algorithms of DIAGNOS
on our huge database. Over the years, we have accumulated tons of data. This objective targeting using complex algorithms allows
a non-biased geological, statistical and stochastic approach. CARDS will help our geologists optimize geoscience data and
identify potential gold-bearing targets in a 2D environment in a short time on our Croinor Gold property," said Mr. Jean-Marc
Lacoste, President and CEO of Monarques.
About CARDS
CARDS is a state-of-the-art computer system that uses powerful algorithms to digitally analyse publically available as well as
privately owned geological information. For this occurrence, three data mining techniques based on clustering and decision tree
will be used in order to generate new targets with a high level of accuracy.
