Sirios Resources is advancing its Cheechoo gold project in Quebec toward an updated mineral resource estimate and its first preliminary economic assessment (PEA), targeted for the first half of 2027. Speaking with Kitco Mining's Ernest Hoffman at XPLOR 2026 in Montreal, CEO Jean-Félix Lepage discusses the company's completed 23,000-meter resource-expansion drilling campaign and a further 12,000 meters planned for winter 2027. The company has also received shareholder approval for a proposed name change to Sirios Mining, reflecting its shift toward project development. Lepage discusses the potential for additional resource growth at Cheechoo and explains why higher gold prices have yet to be fully incorporated into the assumptions used to design and evaluate new mining projects.
