VIOR GOLD CORPORATION INTERSECTS
12.8 G/T AU OVER 2.0 METERS AND 5.45 G/T AU OVER 3.0 METERS
Brossard, Canada – May 7, 2026 – VIOR GOLD CORPORATION INC. (“Vior Gold Corporation”,
“Vior” or the “Corporation”) (TSXV: VIO, OTCQB: VIORF, FRA: VL5) is pleased to report
additional results from its 20,000-metre ongoing drill program on its 100%-owned Ligneris Project
located 55 kilometers northwest of the town of Amos, Abitibi region, Quebec.
Drillhole LI-26-010-EXT, drilled 50 meters southeast of drillhole LI-26-005-EXT (5.64 g/t Au over
4.0 meters; see news release dated March 17, 2026) intersected 5.45 g/t Au over 3.0 meters
including 14.8 g/t Au over 1.0 meters . This interval confirms high -grade gold mineralization
continuity below 650 meters vertically. It is hosted in a strongly altered rhyolite characterized
primarily by sericite and local patchy to pervasive silica with trace s to 2% pyrite. Moreover,
drillhole LI-26-010-EXT intersected a broad interval of low-grade gold mineralization that returned
0.79 g/t Au over 40. 3 meters including 1.19 g/t Au over 15.0 meters at 580 meters vertical
depth.
Drillhole LI-26-012 collared 430 meters northeast of hole LI-26-002 (35.2 g/t Au over 3.0 meters;
see news release dated March 17, 2026) returned values of 12.8 g/t Au over 2.0 meters
including 22.3 g/t Au over 0.5 meters . Mineralization occurs as finely disseminated pyrite,
ranging from trace to 5% in strongly silicified bands of centimetric to decametric scale hosted in
a strongly sericitized rhyolite. Drillholes LI-26-014 and LI-26-007 intersected 38.3 g/t Au over 1.0
meters and 21.7 g/t Au over 1.0 meters respectively. These two holes are located on the
southwestern extension of the South Zone mineralized structure . Hole LI -26-007 seems to
correlate with the intercept in hole LI-26-006 that was previously released on March 17, 2026,
that returned 1.10 g/t Au over 24.2 meter s. Processing of the whole-rock geochemistry has
demonstrated the continuity of the alteration trend towards west, and these new results confirm
the fertility of the area.
Mathieu Savard, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vior Gold Corporation, commented
“With t oday’s results , we demonstrate the continuity of the South Zone mineralized structure
which has now been identified over more than 650 meters laterally and 650 meters vertically.
Moreover, broader low grade mineralized intervals continue to be intersected which are indicative
of a larger gold system. A closer look at the high-grade intercepts previously published on March
17, 2026 have exhibited visible gold in two of the best intervals characterized by the presence of
silica and black chlorite usually found in proximity of VMS system . We are very encouraged by
these recent results that, in our view, warrant additional drilling to continue assessing that large
gold system.”
Since the beginning of drilling program, the Corporation has completed approximately 17,000
meters of drilling on Ligneris. A total o f 5,725 assays were received and 9,920 are currently
pending at the lab oratory. Vior is currentl y drilling with two (2) drill rigs at Ligneris and should
complete the first phase of drilling later this spring. Simultaneously, the Corporation is preparing
its first drilling campaign on the recently acquired Kinebik Project, expected to start early this
summer.

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 a Four Acid
Digestion-ICP-MS 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
alternately inserted every 10 samples to adhere to strict QA/QC guidelines and protocols by the
Corporation and the lab. Historical results on the Ligneris Project described in this news release
are from public sources and the Qualified Person responsible for the review and approval of the
technical information disclosed in this news release (see details below) has not verified the
information relating to these historical results. Consequently, such information is not necessarily
