Vior Discovers a New GOLD Zone North of the Kiask River Fault ON Mosseau, Lebel-SUR-Quevillon, Quebec

Drill Results

VIOR DISCOVERS A NEW GOLD ZONE NORTH OF THE KIASK RIVER FAULT

ON MOSSEAU, LEBEL-SUR-QUEVILLON, QUEBEC

QUEBEC, CANADA, March 14, 2018 - SOCIÉTÉ D’EXPLORATION MINIÈRE VIOR INC.

(TSX VENTURE (VIO), FRANKFURT (VL51) (“Vior” or the “Company”) , is pleased to

announce that a new gold zone has been intersected during the late fall 2017 drill program on

the Mosseau Project (“Mosseau’’ or ‘’the Property”). The 13-hole drill program totalling 2,907

meters targeted several induced polarization ( “IP”) geophysical anomalies as well as the

Morono ‘’M Zone’’ at depth on the Property. Mosseau is comprised of 53 claims that are 100%-

owned by the Company, with an additional 15 claims that can be acquired by June 20, 2018,

bringing the P roject to a surface area of 33 square kilometers. Mosseau is surrounded by

Osisko Mining’s claims to the south and east, as well as Soquem’s Verneuil project to the

northwest and Cartier Resources’ Wilson project.

The Company completed the drill program in November 2017, where nine (9) holes were to test

several IP targets, most of which were oriented parallel to the Kiask River Fault Z one, with the

other four (4) holes geared to test the extensions at depth of the Morono ‘’M Zone’’ gold deposit

which hosts a historical gold resource (see press release dated March 22, 2017).

The new gold zone was intersected in hole MO -17-10 that targeted an IP chargeability anomaly

located 800 meters northwest and on- trend with the KC-1 surface showing where a selected

rock sample returned 12.1 g/t Au. These are located north and parallel to the northwest -

southeast-trending Kiask River Fault Zone that crosses the Property. Hole MO -17-10

intersected 1.13 g/t Au over 14.5 meters (40.0 to 56.0 m core length), including 2.93 g/t Au

over 4.53 meters, including an interval of 7.41 g/t Au over 0.91 meter (assays are reported in

true thicknesses). This new mineralized zone is encompassed within sheared mafic volcanic

rocks moderately to strongly altered in biotite, chlorite with local silicification, and containing up

to 1% veinlets and fine-grained sulphides. Hole MO-17-11 located 100 meters east of the KC-1

showing and along the same IP axis intersected 0.46 g/t Au over 6.93 meters (43.0 to 52.0 m

core length).

The discovery of this new gold zone opens a significant prospective area with a minimum strike

length of 900 meters that remains largely unexplored and open in all directions.

Three (3) of the four (4) holes drilled at the Morono ‘’M Zone’’ succeeded at intersecting the

zone at a depth between 300 and 350 meters. The best result obtained from the Morono ‘’M

Zone’’ was in hole MO -17-03 with 0. 36 g/t Au over 2.39 meters. Several other gold intercepts

associated with parallel shear zones to the Morono ‘’M Zone’’ were cut as well, one of which

intersected 0.43 g/t Au over 2.87 meters in hole MO -17-02. Historical drilling at the Morono

deposit has shown that the gold mineralization is not evenly distributed and additional drilling is

required in order to determine a better representation of its potential.

PRESS RELEASE

- 2 -

All samples were processed by ALS Minerals at their facilities in Rouyn- Noranda (for

preparation) and Val-d'Or (for analysis). All samples have been analysed for gold by fire assay

with an atomic absorption (AA) finish over a 30 grams fraction. Certified standards having

various gold contents were inserted at every 40 samples and blanks were inserted at every 20

samples for verification and QA/QC. The technical content disclosed in this press release was

reviewed and approved by Mr. Marc L'Heureux, P.Geo., who is the Company's Qualified Person

as per NI 43-101.
