VIOR ANNOUNCES COMMENCEMENT OF THE SUMMER 2019 FIELD PROGRAM
AT LIGNERIS PROJECT, QUEBEC and UPDATE ON UPCOMING CARLIN-EAST DRILL
PROGRAM, CARLIN TREND, NEVADA
QUEBEC, CANADA, July 22, 2019 – SOCIÉTÉ D’EXPLORATION MINIÈRE VIOR INC. ("Vior"), (TSX-
Venture: VIO, FRANKFURT: VL51) – is pleased to announce that it has commenced its Field
Program on the recently signed Earn-In agreement with Ethos Gold Corp (“Ethos”) (TSX -V: ECC)
(OTCQB: ETHOF). Ligneris is a 36.2-sq-km project 100%-owned by Vior, located 100 km northeast
of Rouyn-Noranda. The Ligneris Project’s rocks, alteration and mineralization are similar to those
found at the Bousquet-LaRonde mining Complex situated 80 km to the south.
The Ligneris 2019 Summer Field Program consists of a recently completed till survey to delineate
new gold targets, undertaking of a 150-km line cutting program and a 125-km Gradient IP survey
along a strike of 7 km in the dacitic volcanic package of the Project. Once the Field Program is
complete, the plan is to quickly permit and begin a Fall 2019 drill program to test the extensions
at depth of the main mineralized zones, as well as the VTEM and new Gradient IP targets.
CARLIN-EAST PROJECT (Ridgeline Minerals)
Vior holds an approximate 8. 3% equity interest in privately held Ridgeline Minerals (a wholly
owned Nevada subsidiary of Carlin-Type Holdings Ltd) where work is underway on their recently
acquired Carlin-East Project. Carlin-East is a 17-square-km core land position in the Carlin trend
that is on trend with Newmont’s mu ltimillion-ounce Leeville -Turf gold mine and adjacent to
Barrick’s Goldstrike (50+ million ounces Au, past production and reserve) complex. The primary
mineralization controlling structures (Four Corners & Lynn Faults) bounding the Leeville -Turf
mine are interpreted to extend onto the Carlin-East property and coincide with a kilometer-scale
Au in soils anomaly centered over a pronounced gravity geophysics high.
Ridgeline has recently completed a property-wide gravity survey, a phase 1 soils program totaling
250 samples and a detailed structural mapping program followed by integration of all data into
a leapfrog 3D model. A 5 .0 acre BLM Notice of Intent drilling permit has been approved and
bonded with the first of two planned drill holes beginning on July 23rd, 2019. Drilling will target
Carlin-Type mineralization within Ridgelines highest priority target in the Four Corners – Lynn
structural corridor with a proposed target depth of 1700’-2200’ and the drill capable of extending
to 3000+ feet if warranted. Assay results are expected by end of August, 2019.
