ValOre Announces High-Grade Platinum Group Element Results, Esbarro NW Target, Pedra
Branca:
Channel sample of 6.5 metres grading 2.17 g/t 2PGE+Au, Trado® auger hole of 12.0 m grading 1.73
g/t 2PGE+Au from surface
Vancouver, B.C. ValOre Metals Corp. (“ValOre”; TSX ‐V: VO; OTC: KVLQF; Frankfurt: KEQ0 , “the
Company”) today announced assay results for 1 channel sample and 19 Trado® auger holes collected
from the Esbarro NW target area at ValOre’s 100%-owned Pedra Branca Platinum Group Elements (“PGE”)
Project in northeastern Brazil.
“Our exploration field work at Pedra Branca continues to generate excellent results , this time with the
identification of near surface PGE mineralization at Esbarro NW, which is located within 200 metres of the
Esbarro deposit,” stated ValOre’s Vice President Exploration, Colin Smith. “We will drill the Esbarro NW
target in May as part of the ongoing reverse circulation drill campaign at Pedra Branca.”
Esbarro NW Channel Sample and Trado® Auger Drilling Highlights:
• Vertical c hannel sample from historical workings 200 metres (“m”) outside the pit -constrained
resource area returned significant intervals of PGE mineralization, including:
o 6.5 m grading 2.17 grams per tonne palladium + platinum + gold (“g/t 2PGE+Au”) from
surface, incl. 2.0 m grading 5.19 g/t 2PGE+Au from 4.50 m
o Highest-grade result of 7.44 g/t 2PGE+Au coming from the bottom of pit
o PGE mineralization open at depth and along strike in all directions;
• Trado® auger drilling returned near surface PGE assay results in 17 of 19 holes, with assay
highlights including:
o 12.0 m grading 1.73 g/t 2PGE+Au from surface, incl. 2.0 m grading 2.90 g/t from surface
and 2.0 m grading 3.36 g/t from 8.0 m
o 9.0 m grading 2.09 g/t 2PGE+Au from surface;
• Esbarro NW target is drill -ready, with 10 reverse circulation (“ RC”) holes planned totaling
approximately 200 m with drilling anticipated to commence in May;
• Esbarro deposit and Esbarro NW target area are adjacent to and bisected by well -establish
roadways and electrical power lines;
• Trado®, channel and soil sampling PGE results further validate auger drilling as an effective
exploration technique to accelerate the target pipeline at Pedra Branca;

Esbarro NW 2021 Exploration: Soil, Trado® and Channel Sampling
2021 soil sampling from the Esbarro NW target area delineated a 600 m -long PGE -in-soils anomaly
extending to the northwest from the Esbarro pit -constrained resource area (9.9 Mt grading 1.23 g/t
2PGE+Au, totaling 394,000 ounces). During this sampling campaign, a 6.5 m -deep historical test pit was
encountered approximately 200 m north of the western-most resource area. The test pit was previously not
known to ValOre’s team, as it was not catalogued in the historical Pedra Branca database.
A vertical channel sample was performed from surface to the bottom of pit (6.5 m depth), with altered
ultramafic rocks intercepted throughout. Assay results for the channel sample returned a high-grade PGE
interval from surface of 6.5 m grading 2.17 g/t 2PGE+Au, including 2.0 m grading 5.19 g/t 2PGE+Au from
4.50 m. The highest-grade sample (7.44 g/t 2PGE+Au ) was collected from the pit bottom , and thus the
high-grade in-situ PGE mineralization remains fully open at depth and along strike in all directions.
A 1 9-hole Trado ® auger follow -up program was conducted within the 600 m PGE -in-soils anomaly
extending from the Esbarro resource area. 17 of 19 Trado® auger holes intercepted PGE-bearing ultramafic
or ultramafic-derived rocks, suggesting near-surface geological continuity of the mineralized host intrusion.
Assay highlights include Trado® holes AD21ES03, which returned 12.0 m grading 1.73 g/t 2PGE+Au from
surface, incl. 2.0 m grading 2.90 g/t from surface and 2.0 m grading 3.36 g/t from 8.0 m , and Trado® hole
AD21ES08 which returned 9.0 m grading 2.09 g/t 2PGE+Au from surface.

About ValOre Metals Corp.
ValOre Metals Corp. (TSX ‐V: VO) is a Canadian company with a portfolio of high‐ quality exploration
projects. ValOre’s team aims to deploy capital and knowledge on projects which benefit from substantial
prior investment by previous owners, existence of high- value mineralization on a large scale, and the
possibility of adding tangible value through exploration, process improvement, and innovation.
In May 2019, ValOre announced the acquisition of the Pedra Branca Platinum Group Elements (PGE)
property, in Brazil, to bolster its existing Angilak uranium, Genesis/Hatchet uranium and Baffin gold projects
in Canada.
The Pedra Branca PGE Project comprises 39 exploration licenses covering a total area of 39,987 hectares
(98,810 acres) in northeastern Brazil. At Pedra Branca, 5 distinct PGE+Au deposit areas host, in aggregate,
a current Inferred Resource of 1,067,000 ounces 2PGE+Au contained in 27.2 million tonnes grading 1.22
g/t 2PGE+Au (see ValOre’s July 23, 2019 news release). All the currently known Pedra Branca inferred
PGE resources are potentially open pittable.
Comprehensive exploration programs have demonstrated the "District Scale" potential of ValOre’s Angilak
Property in Nunavut Territory, Canada that hosts the Lac 50 Trend having a current Inferred Resource of
2,831,000 tonnes grading 0.69% U 3O8, totaling 43.3 million pounds U 3O8. For disclosure related to the
inferred resource for the Lac 50 Trend uranium deposits, please refer to ValOre's news release of March
1, 2013.
ValOre’s team has forged strong relationships wi th sophisticated resource sector investors and partner
Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. (NTI) on both the Angilak and Baffin Gold Properties. ValOre was the first company
to sign a comprehensive agreement to explore for uranium on Inuit Owned Lands in Nunavut Territory and
is committed to building shareholder value while adhering to high levels of environmental and safety
standards and proactive local community engagement.
