VIOR CONTINUES TO SAMPLE HIGH-GRADE GOLD AT BELLETERRE-
UP TO 175 g/t Au IN SURFACE SAMPLING
Montreal, Canada, January 28, 2022 – Vior Inc. (“Vior” or the “Corporation”), (TSX-V: VIO,
FRANKFURT: VL51) is pleased to announce additional field exploration results that demonstrate
the continuity of the high-grade gold potential at its district -scale Belleterre gold pro ject
(“Belleterre” or “ Project”) in the Abitibi -Témiscamingue region of Quebec. A total of 1,323
samples were collected during the Summer-Fall 2021 field exploration program at Belleterre, and
results are being received in stages as the laboratories process these samples. The current gold
results, in addition to those published on September 17, 2021, expose at surface the excellent
potential for new high-grade gold structures, located in the brownfield areas of the Project.
Highlights
• The three highest grade samples returned respectively 175 grams per tonne (“ g/t”) gold
(“Au”), 29.5 g/t Au and 27.3 g/t Au.
• Another 15 samples contained values ranging between 24.6 g/t Au and 2 g/t Au, with many
samples also containing significant silver (“Ag”) content of up to 394 g/t Ag (see Table 1
and maps below).
• These new surface results validate and extend the gold showings, further reinforcing the
strong exploration potential at Belleterre.
• In addition to these exciting new gold surface results, a systematic rock sampling strategy
deployed in some areas associated with local felsic intrusions was also rewarded. A multi-
metal anomaly with a continuous footprint of one kilometer in length and 50 meters (“m”)
to 100 m in width has been delineated.
• Given the number of high-quality drill targets that have been identified along and outside
of the mine trend , a new 5,000 meter Phase 2 drill program will be initiated in Q1 2022.
Further, t he e xploration team is busy planning for the next Belleterre field exploration
program during Spring/Summer 2022.
Mark Fedosiewich, President & CEO of Vior, stated, “We are very encouraged with these field
sample results. They confirm what we have suspected from the start, that the brownfield areas
have high potential for gold endowed structures outside of the historic mine trend. The majority of
these new results will help to identify new high quality drill targets, in addition to the existing high-
quality drill targets that we have previously identified along the mine trend. We will begin to drill
some of these new targets during our next drilling phase.”
Vior is also pleased to announce the location of the five recently completed drill holes at Belleterre
(see Map 1.), comprising almost 4,000 meters of drilling under the Phase 1 drill program. These
initial drill holes were designed to better define the geological framework at depth and along strike
of the historic mine trend . The Phase 1 targets consisted of l arge step out s from known

mineralization along the trend, with the objectives of delineating new structures and
mineralization, as well as providing us with valuable data for better vectorizing drill targets during
the next drilling phases. Assay results for these first five holes is expected late Q1 2022.

About Cluster of lithogeochem pathfinder anomalies
Anomalous areas were defined using the precious and base metals and related -element
pathfinders (Au, Bi, Te, Ag, Pb, Cu, Zn, Mo, As, Sb). The threshold ranges were produced using
the Natural Break statistical function of Mapinfo Pro™ and the results were g raphically cross-
checked by the cumulative frequency method. The outlines of the anomalous clusters were then
traced manually, and focus was on gold and areas where multiple elements overlap. This

preliminary interpretation demonstrates that gold mineraliz ation has different signatures
depending on their spatial distribution. This suggests that several types of gold mineralization
seem to co-exist on the property and that they may not all be synchronous. These observations
will help in the targeting of the next round of fieldwork (prospecting and mapping), which is
planned for Spring-Summer 2022. Some significant anomalous zones have not yet been tested
by drilling.
About QA/QC Controls
Vior has implemented a quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program to ensure
sampling and analysis of all exploration work is conducted in accordance with industry best
practices, including certified reference material (CRM) standards and blank mater ial inserted
every 20 samples. Sample preparation and gold analyses were performed either at Activation
Laboratories Ltd (Actlabs) in Sainte -Germaine-Boulé, QC or by SGS Canada Inc with a
preparation of samples performed at the SGS Val -d’Or with analysis of samples was performed
at the SGS Burnaby site in BC. All samples were analyzed for gold by fire -assays (50g) with an
atomic absorption finish or ICP -AES technic. Repeats were carried out by fire -assay (50g)
followed by gravimetric testing on each sample containing more than 3.0 g/t Au. Selected samples
are also analyzed for multi -elements, including silver, using a four -acid digestion finish ICP-MS
method. High grade silver was repeated by aqua regia digestion ICP-OES finish.
About Belleterre
The proper ty is located near the town of Belleterre in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region of
Quebec, 95 km south of Rouyn-Noranda, QC. The property consists of 551 claims over 30,258
hectares (302.6 sq km), forming a district-scale exploration package that extends over a strike
length of 37 km. The Project includes the option to acquire the former high-grade Belleterre Gold
Mine that produced over 750,000 oz. gold (Au) at 10.73 grams per tonne (“g/t”) and 95,000 oz.
silver (Ag) at 1.73 g/t between 1936 and 1959 (Source: Sigeom MERN). The property has been
under-explored for the past 50 years and has never been the subject of such significant
consolidation until now. More on Belleterre can be found HERE.
