Quebec Diamond Drilling Program to Benefit From Raised Capital

The release states that proceeds from this placement will fund mining exploration in the province of Quebec. Specifically, Dios intends to conduct diamond drilling targeting gold as well as base metals including copper and zinc on its road-accessible Quebec properties located near existing facilities. The use of flow-through shares is consistent with Canadian tax incentive structures that allow exploration costs to be passed to investors, potentially making the placement attractive to investors seeking resource sector tax deductions under Canadian income tax rules.
