NEWS RELEASE TRANSMITTED BY CCNMatthewsFOR:  SIRIOS RESOURCES INC.TSX VENTURE SYMBOL:  SOISEPTEMBER 26, 2002 - 14:12 EDTSIRIOS RESOURCES INC.: Terra Nova : First Brazilian GoldProject With AmazoniaMONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA--Officers of SIRIOS RESOURCES INC. are pleased to announce that, Sirios has entered into an agreement with AMAZONIA MINERAAO LTDA, ("Amazonia"), of Brazil, whereby Sirios can earn a 50% interest in the Terra Nova Project located in Northern Mato Grosso, Brazil, by investing a total of $1 million USD in exploration expenditures before May 2005.  An additional 20% interest can be earned by funding and completing a positive feasibility study on the project. The property, formerly named the "Rio Pombo Property", covers 156 km2 in Northern Mato Grosso in the vicinity of the town of Terra Nova. It falls within a region known for highgrade gold veins hosted by Proterozoic granitoid intrusive complexes, and was originally identified as a result of an extensive regional assessment of the Alta Floresta - Peixoto de Azevedo Mineral Province by Minera Teck Cominco do Brasil S.A. ("Teck Cominco").  Local garimpeiros have produced gold from steeply dipping, narrow (0.5 - 5m wide), high grade quartz veins associated with a major E-W fault zone which runs through the property. Following geological, geophysical and soil geochemical surveys over a 4km x 1.2km grid covering the main zone, targets have been selected for drilling to test significant gold anomalies and old workings.  No drilling has yet been done on the property and the anomalies remain untested. Amazonia recently signed an agreement with Teck Cominco, under which it will earn a 100% interest in the Rio Pombo Property by completing exploration expenditures of USD $1 million by April 30th, 2005.  Teck Cominco will retain an NSR and a right to earn-back a 70% interest in the property by independently establishing a resource of at least one million of ounces of gold or equivalent, and by funding a feasibility study. A third party also holds a residual interest in the property (15% Net Profits Interest, capped at CAD $100,000).  Sirios has agreed to be bound by the terms of this underlying agreement as a result of their agreement with Amazonia. Amazonia is currently evaluating several other high grade gold properties in the district surrounding Terra Nova, and any of these properties acquired by Amazonia will be included as part of the Terra Nova Project and will be covered by the terms of the current agreement between Sirios and Amazonia. Following a recent visit to the Terra Nova Property as part of thedue diligence process, Dominique Doucet, P.Eng., President and CEOof Sirios stated:  "I am very impressed by the gold potential of the area, the quality of the data on the property, and the operating ability demonstrated by Amazonia. The infrastructure andoperating environment in the Terra Nova area are excellent for both exploration and mine development." A private subsidiary (Terra Nova Mineracao Ltda.) owned by Sirios (70%) and  Amazonia (30%) is being registered as the operating company for the project, with Amazonia as operator in Brazil. Sirios and Amazonia (new web site: / ) announced a strategic alliance on June 14th 2002 to explore for and develop small to medium size high grade gold deposits with near term production potential in Brazil. Amazonia is a privately owned brazilian company formed by the principals of Arantes and Associates Ltda. of Brazil and Mason Exploration Associates Ltd. of Canada. It constitutes a group of experienced exploration and mining professionals supported by an extensive network of associates and contacts in Brazil and Canada with substantial operating experience.
