VIOR Details Its Spring/Summer 2023 Exploration Plans

MONTREAL, QC / ACCESSWIRE / June 9, 2023 / VIOR INC. (« Vior » or the « Corporation »), (TSX-V:VIO)(OTCQB:VIORF)(FRANKFURT:VL51) - is pleased to provide an update on the Corporation's Spring/Summer 2023 field exploration programs and corporate strategy across its three key exploration projects: Belleterre Gold Project, Belleterre Critical Minerals Project (Lithium) and Skyfall Nickel Project. Vior and its funding partners will spend approximately C$2.5 million in direct exploration costs over the Spring/Summer 2023 period.

Mark Fedosiewich, Vior's President and CEO commented, "This will be a very busy and exciting year for Vior, as we rapidly advance three of our district-scale projects in Quebec, including our flagship Belleterre Gold Project, the recently generated Belleterre Critical Minerals Project (Lithium) and our Skyfall Nickel Project. Each of these distinct projects offer exposure to a different key and highly sought after metal, representing tremendous value creation opportunities for Vior shareholders."

Highlights:

• Extensive field exploration programs have begun at Belleterre and Skyfall that will continue into Fall 2023. This work will include:
  • stripping, channel sampling, and a backpack drilling to investigate near surface geological continuity at the Belleterre Gold Project;
  • first reconnaissance program for lithium-bearing pegmatites at Belleterre Critical Minerals Project (Lithium) and near surface geological backpack drilling to investigate geological continuity. Field crews have located pegmatite dyke swarms with Two-Mica and Beryl;
  • district-scale helicopter-borne High Definition VTEM survey has been completed at the Skyfall Nickel Project, contributing to an in-depth interpretation of numerous high potential nickel targets. These targets will be validated in the field with the first-ever large-scale field reconnaissance program for nickel.

Belleterre Gold Project

• Vior began field work in early May at the Belleterre Gold Project, deploying two dedicated crews with the objective of validating the revised regional mineralization model. This validation program follows the comprehensive update to the geochemical and litho-structure analysis undertaken over Winter 2022-2023.
• This initial field work has helped to better identify key targets with known mineralization for overburden stripping, channel sampling and near surface investigatory backpack drilling.
• Vior continues to finalize these key targets, including the recognition of new mineralized QFP intrusives frequently associated with gold mineralization throughout the region.
• Upon completion of the stripping, channel sampling, and mapping program, Vior will finalize and prioritize its drill targets, and then embark on a significant drilling campaign encompassing an estimated 30,000 metres.
