VIOR COMMENCES DRILLING PROGRAM ON THE MOSSEAU PROPERTY

NEAR LEBEL-SUR-QUÉVILLON, QUÉBEC

QUÉBEC, CANADA, NOVEMBER 7, 2017 - SOCIÉTÉ D’EXPLORATION MINIÈRE VIOR INC.

(TSX-V: VIO, FRANKFURT: VL51) (the “Company” or “Vior”) is pleased to report the start of

its first drilling program on its Mosseau property, located some 22 kilometres east of Lebel -sur-

Quévillon, in the Abitibi region of Québec. The program , totalling approximately 3,000 metres of

drilling in 13 holes, is designed to test the depth extensions of the Morono M zone gold deposit,

as well as induced polarization (IP) geophysical target s associated with shear zones and

surface gold occurrences.

This drilling program is a follow -up on prospecting work and IP surveys carried out in the

summer of 2017, which led to the discovery of several new gold occurrences. These showings

are associated with a series of parallel northwest -southeast-trending shear zones, including

quartz-sericite-pyrite zones at the Morono deposit (M, M South, P, R and S), which yielded on

selected samples surface gold values up to 8.53 g/t, and the Kiask deformation zone further

south, where grades reached 12.1 g/t. Gold- bearing shear zones were traced over a strike

length of more than 10 km on the property and were mapped in both t he Wilson Pluton and in

volcano-sedimentary sequences of the Quévillon Group.

Four drill holes will test the Morono M zone deposit at vertical depths ranging from 300 to

400 metres. A historic drill hole from 1988 (M4- 88) intersected the M zone at approximately

270 metres vertical depth, with a drill intercept grading 4.42 g/t gold over 5.84 metres (true

thickness, drill hole M4-88; MERN assessment wor k report GM47624) . The Morono M zone

deposit hosts historical gold resources (see press release dated March 22, 2017) and remains

open at depth and along strike. The remaining drill holes will test: 1) the southeastern extension

of the Morono deposit, and 2) geophysical IP targets associated with shear zones and surface

gold occurrences.

Vior currently has 100% interest in 53 of the 68 claims that make up the Mosseau project, which

covers a total surface area of 33 square kilometres. The Company may acquire 100% interest in

the remaining 15 claims by making a residual cash payment of $60 ,000 and issuing an

equivalent of $65,000 in Vior shares to the vendors by June 20, 2018.

“The Mosseau gold project is located in a historically underexplored part of the Abitibi, which

has recently been the focus of a major claim s acquisition play by Osisko Mining Inc. This first

drilling program will test the depth extensions of a known gold deposit, as well as other high-

priority geolo gical and geophysical targets on specific areas of the property”, stated Mark

Fedosiewich, President and CEO of the Company.

PRESS RELEASE

- 2 -

Drilling is expected to be completed by the end of November 2017, and preliminary results

should be available before the end of the year. In addition, the Company has mandated the firm

Geo Data Solutions GDS Inc. to conduct a helicopter -borne high -resolution magnetic survey

covering the entire Mosseau project. The survey, totalling 448 line- kilometres along flight lines

spaced 100 metres apart, is scheduled to commence shortly.
