ValOre Commences Diamond Drill Program at Dipole Uranium Target, Angilak Property
ValOre Commences Diamond Drill Program at Dipole Uranium Target, Angilak Property
Vancouver, B.C. ValOre Metals Corp. (“ValOre”; TSX ‐V: VO; OTC: KVLQF; Frankfurt: KEQ0 , “the
Company”) today announced the commencement of a 4,500 metre (“m”) diamond drill program at ValOre’s
100% owned 59,483- hectare Angilak Property Uranium Project (“Angilak”), located in Nunavut Territory,
Canada.
“2022 RC drilling at the Dipole and J4 West targets intersected high-grade, near-surface, basement-hosted
uranium, and immediate follow-up is warranted in the core drilling program ,” stated ValOre’s VP of
Exploration, Colin Smith. “Two diamond drill rigs are at Dipole, with the first rig a lready drilling, and the
second to commence within the week. Down-dip and along-strike core holes will test extensions to highly
radioactive RC intercepts, including 65,535 CPS at ~30 m vertical depth (Dipole) and 22,146 CPS at ~36
m vertical depth (J4 West)”.
Angilak 2022 Diamond Drill Program Highlights:
• 4,500 m core drilling program to be conducted with 2 diamond drill rigs;
• Dipole target – 3,000 m planned in 16 holes;
• J4 West target – 1,500 m planned in 14 holes;
• Program goal is to incorporate drill results into future resource estimates.
The 2022 Reverse Circulation (“RC”) drill program intersected near-surface radioactivity in 22 of 27 holes,
with vertical depths of radioactive zones ranging from 7 to 110 metres, at the Dipole, Yat, and J4 West
targets. Initial assay results from the completed RC drill program are expected in the first half of August,
2022.

About Angilak
The 59,483-hectare Angilak Property is situated in the mining- and exploration-friendly Nunavut Territory,
Canada, and has district-scale potential for uranium, precious and base metals. Since acquisition, ValOre
has invested over C AD$55 million on resource delineation and exploration drilling (89,572 metres in 589
drill holes), metallurgy, geophysics, geochemistry, and logistics across the large land package. This work
supported the development of the significant Lac 50 Trend NI 43- 101 inferred uranium resource estimate
(“Lac 50”).
The Lac 50 NI 43- 101 Technical Report (effective date March 1, 2013) defined an inferred resource
estimate which represents Canada’s highest -grade uranium resource outside of Saskatchewan, and one
of highest-grade uranium resources on a global basis. Highlights include:
• 43.3 Mlbs U3O8 in 2,831,000 tonnes grading 0.69% U3O8. CLICK HERE for a summary table of the
Lac 50 Trend inferred resource estimate;
• Supported by 351 resource delineation drill holes totaling 62,023 metres (“m”);
• Metallurgical results for Lac 50 demonstrate high uranium recoveries and rapid leach kinetics. See
news releases: February 28, 2013, September 11, 2013 and February 27, 2014;
• Lac 50 Trend is a 15 kilometre (“km”) by 3 km area with excellent potential for resource growth and
new discoveries;
• Uranium mineralization starts at surface, and has been drilled to 380 m vertical depth;

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 52 exploration licenses covering a total area of 56,852 hectares
(140,484 acres) in northeastern Brazil. At Pedra Branca, 7 distinct PGE+Au deposit areas host, in
aggregate, a 2022 NI 43-101 inferred resource of 2.198 Moz 2PGE+Au contained in 63.6 Mt grading 1.08
g/t 2PGE+Au (CLICK HERE for news release dated March 24, 2022). 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 millio n pounds U3O8. For disclosure related to the
inferred resource for the Lac 50 Trend uranium deposits, please CLICK HERE for ValOre's news release
dated March 1, 2013.
ValOre’s team has forged strong relationships with 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.
