Montreal, Canada, September 17, 2021 – Vior Inc. (“Vior” ), (TSX-V: VIO , FRANKFURT:
VL51) is pleased to announce field exploration results that demonstrate the high-grade gold
potential at its district -scale Belleterre gold project (“Belleterre”) in the Abitibi -Témiscamingue
region of Quebec. Of 1,328 samples completed during the Summer 2021 exploration program at
Belleterre and currently being processed at the laboratory , these first gold results consist of a
targeted validation sampling process where lab results were expedited in preparation for the
upcoming Phase 1 Fall drill program . The V ior technical team ’s objective is to validate the
presence of gold grades and the precise locations of historic gold showings in the Brownfield
areas at Belleterre. The results indicate that out of 38 samples recently sent to the laboratory,
the three highest grade samples returned respectively 274.9 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”),
121.3 g/t Au and 77.4 g/t Au. Another 17 samples contained values between 66.5 g/t Au and 10
g/t Au with all but one of the remaining samples containing gold content (see Table 1 and maps
below). In addition, t hese results validate over 10 historic gold showings and confirm the high
exploration potential at Belleterre.
Mark Fedosiewich, President & CEO of Vior, stated, “These field results are exciting and
confirm the presence of significant gold from the historical showings. We also know that
previous drill programs in the Brownfield areas at Belleterre were only undertaken to shallow
depths and were non continuous along strike . These results validate the hard work of the
exploration and management team through 2021 to consolidate this highly prospective mining
camp, and we are encouraged more than ever that Belleterre offers a tremendous exploration
opportunity for our shareholders.”
Vior is also pleased to release the results of its high-resolution magnetic survey (see Figure 1)
covering the entire Belleterre Project. This high -resolution magnetic survey is a valuable
exploration tool that will help Vior’s exploration team focus on the continuities of the main gold
bearing structures within the known historical high -grade zones along strike and at depth
including past producing Belleterre gold mine with a historic production of 2.18 Mt at 10.7 g/t Au
(source DV-89-01 from MRNQ: Ministère de l’Énergie et des Ressources naturelles du Québec)
and Aubelle deposit with a non 43 -101 compliant current resource of 353.7 Kt at 3.6 g/t Au
(source DV -89-01 from MRNQ). This helicopter -borne magnetic survey was carried out by
Novatem Inc., of Mont -Saint-Hilaire, QC for a total of 6,750 linear kilometre s with line spacing
every 50 metres.
Vior’s Executive Vice -President, Laurent Eustache, stated, “In conjunction with the new
structural interpretation derived from our new high-resolution magnetic survey and the
compilation of historical data and geological modeling (with our consultant 3DGeo Solution Inc.),
we are now in an excellent position to better define the high-potential drill targets for our
upcoming 4,000-metre Fall drill program. By incorporating all of the various technical data sets
available from the consolidated area, which ha s never been attempted due to the previously

fragmented ownership positions at Belleterre, we are now able to build a cohesive 3D structural
model. We are confident that our new systematic and holistic approach will play a major positive
role in our overall exploration strategy to help unlock the full potential of the Belleterre mining
camp.”
