Valorem Reports BCSC Halt Trade Order After Third-Party

Unsubstantiated Claims Online

Vancouver, British Columbia - (May 3, 2021) – VALOREM RESOURCES INC. (the “Company” or

“Valorem”) (CSE: VALU) (Frankfurt: 1XW1) reports that after the close of markets on April 30,

2021, the British Columbia Securities Commission (the “BCSC”) issued a halt trade order on the

securities of Valorem until the end of May 21, 2021 (the “Order”). In the Order, the BCSC indicates

that it has become aware of unsubstantiated information about Valorem posted by a third- party

online on or about April 15th and 29th, 2021, and that the information includes unsupported claims

about Valorem’s future share price and mining reserves for its Black Dog Lake Gold property

(“False Information”). The Order also acknowledged that on April 16, 2021, Valorem issued a

news release stating that the information disseminated by the third-party was false and that the

Company had been the target of those false statements.

Valorem now confirms again, that it has had no involvement with the preparation or distribution of

the False Information at any time, and has never had any communications, nor been associated,

with the third-party responsible for publishing this information online. Valorem cautions that

information published by this third- party is not accurate and should not be relied upon by

shareholders.

Valorem's Recent Exploration and Corporate Development a Contributing Factor to Share Price

Increase

The Company attributes the recent appreciation in its share price to a number of efforts made to

unlock the value of its properties for the benefit of shareholders which have recently been put in

motion. Below is a summary of the Company ’s activities for the past two quarters, which we

believe has been reflected in the market price of the Valorem shares:

(a) Initiated an investor awareness program to increase market and brand awareness for the

Company, and to broaden the Company's reach within the investment community (See

news releases on September 11, 2020 and December 8, 2020);

(b) Completed a geological report on its Black Dog Lake Gold property in Quebec (see news

release on December 15, 2020);

capital, administration, exploration programs and investigating new properties for

exploration (see news release on December 17, 2020);

(d) Acquired the Wing Shear Zone property in Newfoundland (see news release on January

5, 2021);

(e) Appointed a new Chief Executive Officer to lead the Company (see news release on

January 8, 2021);

(f) Planned a geophysics program for its Black Dog Lake Gold property, consisting of a high-

definition ground magnetometer and induced polarization survey that would cover the

previously drilled Black Dog Lake target that had encouraging results in previous

campaigns (see news release on January 18, 2021);

(g) Completed a private placement for gross proceeds of approximately $1.015 million (see

news release on January 28, 2021 and March 26, 2021, respectively);

(h) Acquired a gold exploration property located in the Cariboo District of British Columbia

(see news release on February 12, 2021);

(i) Received exploration permits for the Wing Shear Zone property, with an initial work

program consisting of geological mapping, prospecting and a preliminary till -sampling

program, scheduled to commence during the week of April 21, 2021, in preparation for an

inaugural drilling campaign later in the year (see news releases on April 19, 2021 and April

21, 2021);

(j) Announced a planned 2021 exploration and fieldwork program on the Black Dog Lake

Gold property, consisting of a ground geophysical survey, surface exploration and rock

sampling activities (see news release on April 26, 2021); and

(k) Announced the appointment of a new Chief Financial Officer and a new board member

(see news release on April 29, 2021).

The above-mentioned initiatives are intended to build shareholder value through: (i) the accretive

acquisition of strategic exploration properties, (ii) the development and execution of exploration

plans for its propert ies, and (iii) the recruitment of highly qualified professionals to add to the

Company’s management and board of directors.

Despite the efforts of outside third -parties attempting to benefit from the dissemination of

unsubstantiated information to the detriment of Valorem and its shareholders, Valorem fully

intends to continue to advance on its exploration plans to build shareholder value.

The Company has reached out to the BCSC about this matter and looks forward to working with

the BCSC to resolve this matter by taking any necessary actions within its control.
