VIOR ACQUIRES A FURTHER SIGNIFICANT LAND POSITION
IN THE URBAN-BARRY GOLD BELT, IN QUEBEC
QUEBEC, CANADA, August 24th, 2020 - SOCIÉTÉ D’EXPLORATION MINIÈRE VIOR INC.
(TSX-V: VIO, FRANKFURT: VL51) – wishes to announce the acquisition of a 100%-interest in
50 additional claims adjacent to the Skyfall project, in the eastern part of the Urban -Barry gold
belt, located approximately 150 kilometers east of Lebel-sur-Quevillon and 75 kilometers to the
south of Chapais, Quebec. These new claims are in ad dition to the 215 existing, bringing Vior’s
total claims package to 265 claims. The Skyfall project now encompasses an area of 149.3
square kilometers, making i t one of the largest land position s held by a c ompany in the Urban-
Barry volcanic belt.
The Skyfall project is located in an under -explored area of the Urban -Barry volcanic belt ,
approximately 40 k ilometers east of Osisko Mining’s Windfall , and Bonterra Resources’ Barry
and Gladiator gold deposits (see figure, reference to Mineral Resources is taken from Osisko
Mining and Bonterra Resources websites). T he project is covered by sequences of volcanic
rocks crosscut by series of faults oriented sub-parallel to the stratigraphy or trending north -
northeast in which gold mineralization is often associated in the area.
PRESS RELEASE
- 2 -
Due to its limited land access until a few years ago, very little exploration work has been done
on Skyfall. The project shows a geological environment similar to that of the centr al part of the
Urban-Barry belt in which we find many gold deposits and showings (please note however that
the mineralization hosted on adjacent and/or nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of
mineralization hosted on the Company's property).
Vior has acquired a 100% interest in 50 new claims . A cash payment and the issuance of
shares has been made to one of two sellers for 35 claims, while a cash payment was made to
the other seller for 12 claims. The remaining 3 claims were acquired by map designation. A 2%
net smelter return ("NSR") has been granted to the two sellers, of which 1% may be
repurchased from one of the sellers. The acquisition of 35 of the claims will be subject to TSX-V
approval.
A comprehensive exploration program will begin on Skyfall in late August, 2020 . This will
include a first phase of systematic till sampling, as well as geological field prospecting, including
rock sampling. A second phase of work is also scheduled for Fall 2020 on the new gold targets
generated.
