Vior Confirms High Grade GOLD at Belleterre and 500 Metre Depth Extension at Aubelle
VIOR CONFIRMS HIGH GRADE GOLD AT BELLETERRE
AND 500 METRE DEPTH EXTENSION AT AUBELLE
Montreal, Canada – December 11, 2024 – VIOR INC. (“Vior” or the “Corporation”) (TSXV: VIO, OTCQB:
VIORF , FRA: VL51) is pleased to announce the first set of assay results from its ongoing +60,000-metre
diamond drill program at its Belleterre Gold Project in Quebec's Belleterre Greenstone Belt. The drilling
has successfully intersected significant high-grade gold mineralization at both the Belleterre Vein #12
and at several Aubelle targets within the 6-kilometre long Belleterre Mine Trend. These results further
validate Vior’s geological model and underscore the potential for extensive high -grade gold
mineralization beyond the known systems.
Belleterre Area
The highlight results for the first 20 drillholes (4,053 metres of drilling) at Belleterre demonstrate both
wide intervals of gold mineralization as well as high-grade veins across a 400 metre east-west strike of
the Belleterre Vein #12. Selected high-grade intercepts (see Figure 2 and Tables 1 and 2) include:
• 15.9 g/t Au over 1.2 metres in BV24-028;
• 6.6 g/t Au over 3.0 metres including 23.5 g/t Au over 0.8 metres in BV24-033;
• 21.3 g/t Au over 0.5 metres in BV24-023; and
• 8.7 g/t Au over 0.8 metres in BV24-034
Aubelle Area
Assay results from the targets at the Aubelle deposit area confirm the continuity at depth of the high-
grade gold mineralization, more than 500 met res below the Aubelle and Conway veins. The first drill
hole at Aubelle (1,300.7metres in length) intersected multiple zones of high-grade gold mineralization
(see Figure 2 and Tables 1 and 2) including:
• 9.1 g/t Au over 0.5 metres in BV24-035;
• 10.4 g/t Au over 1.2 metres in BV24-035; and
• 6.2 g/t Au over 1.0 metres in BV24-035
"We are pleased with these initial drill results from a portion of our first two target areas at the
Belleterre Gold Project, " said Mark Fedosiewich, President and CEO of Vior. "The intersections of high-
grade gold in broad mineralized zones that extend along a 400 -metre strike length at Belleterre Vein
#12 confirm the continuity and potential for expansion for the Belleterre gold mine mineralization.
Additionally, the high-grade gold encountered in our first drill hole at Aubelle is particularly exciting, as
it demonstrates vertical extension. As we progress and advance our +60,000-metre drill program, we
are increasingly confident in the Project’s ability to deliver both scale and grade, aligning with our vision
of a high-impact gold discovery in this greenstone belt. "
Gold Mineralization Style at Belleterre and Aubelle
The gold mineralization at Belleterre Vein #12 is characterized by intervals of brecciated basalt and
quartz porphyry, often showing potassic alteration and smoky quartz veins and carbonate -quartz
veinlets. Pyrite and pyrrhotite are common, typically present in concentrations ranging from trace
amounts to 10%. Visible gold (“VG”) has been observed in several intervals.
The gold mineralization at Aubelle consists of two primary vein styles. The first vein style occurs in a
strongly schistose basalt altered by chlorite, biotite, carbonate, and quartz, often brecciated and
intruded by quartz veins containing 3-20% pyrite-pyrrhotite with trace sphalerite and chalcopyrite. The
second vein style is quartz veins injected into chloritized gabbro or potassic altered felsic intrusive,
with 3-5% pyrite, 3% chalcopyrite, 1% sphalerite, and 1% galena.

Next Steps
Based on these results, Vior will accelerate its drill program at Belleterre with the addition of a third drill
rig in the new year . Drilling will focus on the vertical extension of the historic Belleterre gold m ine
mineralization, targeting high-grade extensions of the gold system , extension of mineralization at the
Aubelle deposit, and testing the high priority regional drill targets.
Quality Control
True widths are estimated at 65-80% of the reported core length intervals. Assays are uncut except where
indicated. All NQ core assays reported were obtained by either 1-kg screen fire assay or standard 50 gram
fire-assaying-AA finish or gravimetric finish at ALS Laboratories in Val d’Or, Québec or Sudbury, Ontario.
The 1-kg screen assay method is used when samples contain coarse gold intervals. Selected samples
are also analyzed for multi-elements using an Aqua Regia -ICP-AES method at ALS Laboratories. Drill
program design, Quality Assurance/Quality Control (“QA/QC”), and interpretation of results is performed
by qualified persons employing a QA/QC program consistent with NI 43-101 and industry best practices.
Standards and blanks are included with every 20 samples to adhere to strict QA/QC guidelines and
protocols by the Corporation and the lab.
