Oct. 15, 2025
/CNW/ -
VIOR INC.
("Vior" or the "Corporation") (TSXV: VIO) (OTCQB:
VIORF) (FRA: VL5) is pleased to announce results from its 100,000-metre drill program on its
flagship Belleterre Gold Project and an update on the upcoming drilling campaign on its Ligneris
Project. Both projects are located in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region,
Quebec
.
Belleterre Project: North Long-Section - DDH Results (CNW Group/Vior Inc.)
Belleterre
The newly received results include gold intercepts in the former Belleterre Mine Trend that returned
5.34 g/t Au over 2.0 meters
in
Conway
zone,
1.98 g/t Au over 7.35 metres
and
1.33 g/t Au over
3.0 metres
at Aubelle zone and
4.56 g/t over 1.70 metres
at Hoskin. Drillhole BV25-169, targeting
the
Conway
zone, intersected
5.34 g/t Au over 2.0 metres
at approximately 375 metres vertical
depth of the Conway Zone and confirms a potential extension at depth. The mineralization is hosted
within a biotite-altered and sheared mafic volcanic unit, which contains up to 5% smoky grey quartz
veins.
Drillholes BV25-168 and BV25-170, targeting the Aubelle zone, intersected respectively
1.33 g/t Au
over 3.0 metres and 1.98 g/t Au over 7.35 metres
at 720 metres and 450 metres of vertical
depth. These two intervals are in the vertical extension of the Aubelle zone. The mineralization,
containing up to 5% clustered and disseminated pyrite and pyrrhotite with trace of clustered
sphalerite and chalcopyrite, is associated with quartz veins hosted within a biotite-altered and
sheared mafic volcanic unit.
Drillhole
BV25-161
, which followed up on drillhole BV25-143 that returned
3.0 g/t Au over 4.3
metres
at Hoskin (see
July 9, 2025
news release), successfully intersected mineralization at
approximately 485 metres vertical depth, returning
4.56 g/t over 1.7 metres.
The mineralization is
hosted in a quartz vein at the contact between a gabbro and a mafic volcanic unit. Both rocks are
biotite-altered near the vein and contain trace to 2% clustered and disseminated pyrite. This zone
remains open the western end and at depth and demonstrates the potential for extension within the
Hoskin structural corridor.
Lac Guillet Deformation Zone
Drilling in the Lac Guillet Deformation Zone, 2 kilometres south of the former Belleterre Mine Trend,
is advancing well while several analytical results still pending representing approximately 25 drillholes
Mathieu Savard
, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vior, commented: "We have completed
most of the drilling in the Belleterre Mine Trend and are waiting for the drilling results from the Lac
Guillet Deformation Zone to the south where approximately 25 drillholes are pending assay results.
Drilling will continue until the end of the year to complete the Guillet Deformation Zone program while
also testing regional targets at
Belleterre
."

Upcoming Exploration Activities on Ligneris Project
Vior is preparing to initiate a 20,000 metres drilling program on its 100% owned Ligneris Project.
The program will commence upon receipt of all required authorizations and permits that were
submitted in the previous weeks. The first phase of the drilling campaign will focus on the three main
mineralization zones: North Zone, Central Zone and South Zone. Historical intercepts of 537.91 g/t
Au over
1.8m
(DDH 275-037) and 70.0 g/t Au over
0.6m
(DDH 275-
27B
) have been obtained in the
North Zone (from SIGEOM : GM44211) , while values of 0.91 g/t Au over 24.0 metres including 5.72
g/t Au over
3.1m
(DDH 275-053 from SIGEOM : GM45463) and 4.92 g/t Au over 5.4 metres (DDH
L-84-4 from SIGEOM : GM41991) were obtained from Central Zone and 5.15 g/t Au over
5.9m
(DDH LS-05 from SIGEOM : GM41991) and 16.84 g/t Au over
8.0m
including 39.15 g/t Au over
3.0m
(DDH 275-073 from SIGEOM : GM45463) have been obtained in the South Zone.
These zones are included within the felsic volcanic belt of the Rivière Octave and are affected by
NE-SW shear zones of the Laflamme corridor. The abundance of polymetallic sulphides, along with
strong sericite, chlorite and chloritoid alterations within the bimodal volcanic context, overlain by gold
enrichment associated with intense carbonatation and a steeply dipping, ductile and anastomosing
fault corridor, supports the interpretation that mineralization at Ligneris represents a hybrid system
between Gold-bearing VMS and Orogenic Gold deposit. The known mineralized zones remain
underexplored both at depth and laterally along strike.
Mathieu Savard
, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vior, added "We are quite excited about
the upcoming drill program at Ligneris expected to start sometime in November following the receipt
of the necessary permits. The Ligneris project exhibits both Gold-bearing VMS and orogenic gold
deposit mineralization style and the program will aim at testing both. The program will test vertical
and lateral high-grade gold and large lower grade gold intervals that were obtained historically. In
addition, we will drill several regional targets in the belt that were not previously tested."
Vior has recently expanded its Ligneris project by acquiring 213 additional claims through map
designation. In addition, a high-resolution magnetic helicopter-borne survey, including VLF-EM
measurements is planned this fall for the northern portion of the Ligneris project. This geophysical
work will provide a complete and high-quality geophysical coverage across the entire project area,
enhancing the geological understanding and supporting future targeting.
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 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 15 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 indicative of
mineralization on the Ligneris Project.
