Valorem Announces Black Dog Lake Geography Program
Valorem Announces Black Dog Lake Geography Program
Vancouver, British Columbia - (January 18, 2021 ) – VALOREM RESOURCES INC. (the
“Company”) (CSE: VALU) (Frankfurt: 1XW1) wishes to announce that a geophysics program is
planned for its Black Dog banded iron formation gold exploration property in the Eastmain River -
James Bay region of Quebec, Canada.
A high -definition ground Magnetometer and Induced Polarization (IP) survey will cover the
previously drilled Black Dog target which has returned gold geochemical anomalies, and
multiple gold intercepts in diamond drilling in previous campaigns.
As reported in a press release dated August 7, 2020, the Black Dog Lake metallic gold showing
was discovered in bedded banded iron formation by surface sampling in 1988, and subsequent
multiple hole programs which yielded several prospective gold mineralization intervals. Among
these were 15.2 g/t gold over 0.6m; 5.2g/t gold over 11m; and 4.32g/t gold over 0.88 m.
The Black Dog east extension had a 14 hole diamond drill program which produced these
interesting returns, 1.13g/t gold over 1.24 m. and 1.19g/t gold over 0.75 m.
The p revious intersections reflect gold in sulphide rich portions of bedded banded iron
formation, a style of mineralization that is manifested in many prominent gold deposits such as
Musselwhite, Lupin, Cullaton Lake and Meliadine in Canada and the Homestake d eposit of
South Dakota, USA.
The exploration potential in such Archean iron formations can reach several tens of millions of
ounces of gold. The reader is cautioned that the exploration target is conceptual in nature and
that there are no known reserves o r resources on the subject property, and if discovered there
can be no assurance that any such discoveries may be economically produced.
The iron formations are extensive on the Black Dog property, returning widespread gold
geochemical anomalies, gold in o utcrops at the initial prospect, and multiple drill hole gold
intersections. The renewed geophysical exploration will assess the potential for and design of
additional testing of the prospective banded iron formation underlying much of the 1 ,003 hectare
claim block.
The property is accessed from the Quebec highway and all - season road system. Potential
power sources are close, and terrain is quite flat and low elevation allowing for efficient
exploration and if warranted development.

such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may di ffer
materially from those in the forward -looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in forward -looking statements include unsuccessful exploration results, changes in
metals prices, changes in the availabi lity of funding for mineral exploration, unanticipated changes in key
management personnel and general economic conditions. Mining is an inherently risky business.
