Nature of activities
Dios focuses on gold-silver-copper (lithium) exploration in James Bay Eeyou Istchee, Quebec, Canada, along a major greenstone belt and geological province contact. Gold prices are currently at an incredibly rare high.
Dios' wholly-owned Heberto Gold discovery and several other gold occurrences all discovered by Dios are hosted on road accessible AU33 property, adjacent to Hydro-Quebec EM1 hydropower facilities. Dios AU33 flagship high potential gold property was drone magnetic surveyed in late 2025 with tight spacing to define detailed structures to prepare for ground access diamond drilling in 2026 moving forward. Detailed structural analysis was then undertaken during first quarter 2026 from this very recent magnetic and significant structural data just recently obtained in order to enhance gold targeting, taking into consideration all past work by Dios on AU33 gold property.
Dios is also evaluating all its other gold projects for their value and potential, that is: road accessible 33Carats gold (contiguous to Benz Eastmain mine property north of Chibougamau), Le Caron (gold-copper-silver) & Clarkie Gold.

Exploration work performed during the period
After Dios focused on exploring for gold on Au33 property in 2025, such as in late Spring and early Summer 2025 when a structural data compilation study was undertaken over all Dios’ Au33 property work and data produced over the years since its inception by Dios. In late 2025, a detailed drone magnetic survey was undertaken on Dios’ wholly-owned AU33 gold property and Heberto Gold discovery extents, James Bay Eeyou Itschee, Quebec, adjacent to Eastmain Bernard-Landry hydropower facilities.
The detailed 820 kilometer-lines magnetic survey was undertaken at a mean altitude of 25 m above ground with 35 m spacing and in very more detailed spacing every 17.5 meter on Heberto Gold area and eastern extents and in the eastern part of the property hosting very high gold-in-till values. Results processing and analysis during last quarter ended more precisely help define gold targets and structural features for diamond drilling to come in 2026. Magnetic results were processed for gold potential structures and a structural analysis produced in early 2026.
Au33 gold property in first quarter 2026
A ground diamond drilling program is planned during first quarter 2026 on wholly-owned AU33 gold property (no royalties), in particular to verify Heberto Gold discovery extents and eventually test other gold targets. A 2,000 meters long NQ diameter drilling campaign is planned as a start for some $500,000-$600,000 budget on road accessible Au33 property.

Dios successfully drilled Heberto Gold for the first time in 2015. Gold prices are currently at a very rare high. Gold prices increased significantly since 2015-2017, adding strong value to a near surface gold discovery such as Heberto Gold.
Structural studies of Dios’ recent high-resolution magnetic data combined with Dios’ historical data were undertaken to define and understand which set of structures bears higher gold potential.
The large Mitsumis batholith is strongly magnetic and intruded by a series of younger plugs that might have brought up gold mineralized fluids. Gold mineralization is often found near these smaller intrusions on Au33, in association with north-north-east structures. During first quarter 2026, results from Structural analysis was completed by Lucie Mathieu P.Geo.(Consultation GeoX inc.)
Such NNE structure was thus identified at Heberto, opening up new area for drilling and extent for Heberto Gold.
New gold targets were also defined elsewhere on the property where there NNE structures are suddenly cut by a low mag, such low magnetic areas often indicative of demagnetization related to mineralized fluid flow.
Reprocessing of Heberto Gold historical drilling started in view of this structural analysis to optimize next drilling.
Historical Heberto Gold Discovery drilling by Dios
Hole 19 did hit 3.65 grams gold per tonne over 13 m (71 m-84 m) within 64 m true thickness interval grading 1.21 g/t gold on HEBERTO.
Hole 19 (3.65g/t Au/13m) is 112 m west of Hole 1 and 50 m north of Hole 6 (2,23g/t Au/7.75 m).
Hole 19 is 50 m south of Hole 1 (2.13g/t Au/22.9m), of Hole 9 (2 g/t Au/22 m) & of Hole10 (1.8 g/t Au/18.45 m).
Gold zones can be followed in strike and at depth. Gold is associated with fine grained pyrite and magnetite in several meters thick silicified potassic altered shear zones.
Heberto channel graded 5.18 g/t gold on 5 meters in 2013.

Financial position
- Working capital decreased by $56,426, going from $138,551 on December 31, 2025, to $82,125 on March 31, 2026. The decrease in mainly due to exploration costs and administrative expenses incurred during the period.
- Cash and cash equivalents amount to $67,622 on March 31, 2026, compared to an amount of $92,237 on December 31, 2025. The Company is considered to be in the exploration stage; thus, it is dependent on obtaining regular financing on order to continue exploration. Despite previous success in acquiring sufficient financing, there is no guarantee of obtaining any future financing.
Exploration Budget for fiscal year 2026: The planned exploration work to be conducted by Dios in 2026 is disclosed in the 2025 Annual Management report. See above section "Exploration work performed during the period".
