Assays from metallurgical drilling confirm historical results
Vancouver, B.C. ValOre Metals Corp. (“ValOre”; TSX ‐V: VO; OTC: KVLQF; Frankfurt: KEQ0, “the
Company”) today provided an update on metallurgical testwork program at ValOre’s 100%-owned Pedra
Branca Platinum Group Elements (“PGE”, “2PGE+Au”) Project (“Pedra Branca”) in northeastern Brazil.
“Confirmatory drilling results from Cedro returned broad, well mineralized palladium-platinum intercepts
from surface, and down-dip at depth,” stated ValOre’s VP of Exploration, Colin Smith. “ValOre’s team has
commenced selecting a composite sample for Cedro, to be included in the on-going testwork program at
ALS Metallurgy Kamloops. Preliminary results from testwork performed on the Cuiru deposit are expected
next month.”
Key Points on Metallurgical Testwork Program:
• Four HQ-size core drill holes totaling 332 metres (“m”) at the Cedro PGE deposit area were drilled,
logged, sampled and assayed to support ongoing metallurgical testwork;
• All 4 drill holes confirmed the historically reported geology and returned broad, consistently
mineralized PGE intercepts including:
o 53 m at 1.18 grams per tonne palladium + platinum + gold (“g/t 2PGE+Au”) from
surface, incl. 7.0 m at 2.64 g/t 2PGE+Au from 44 m in drill hole DD21CD24A
o 62 m at 0.90 g/t 2PGE+Au from 58 m, incl. 31 m at 1.40 g/t 2PGE+Au from 82 m in drill
hole DD21CD05A
o 52 m at 1.03 g/t 2PGE+Au from 19 m in drill hole DD21CD89A
o 70 m at 0.71 g/t 2PGE+Au from surface, incl. 29 m at 1.12 g/t 2PGE+Au in drill hole
DD21CD42A;
• Metallurgical drilling campaign concluded, totaling 922 m in 14 holes, including 6 holes at Esbarro
(378 m), and 4 holes at Curiu (213 m), in addition to the 332 m in 4 holes at Cedro;
• Drill core for the remaining two PGE deposits which form part of the 2019 inferred resource, Trapia
and Santo Amaro, will be collected from the 2020 and 2021 resource expansion drill programs;
• Testwork program at ALS Metallurgy Kamloops (“ALS”) commenced in November 2021, with a
primary focus on mineralogy and conventional processing circuits, and preliminary results expected
in February 2022.
*Reported core assay interval lengths are estimated to represent 95-100% true width
2021 Metallurgical Drill Program
Four HQ-size core drill holes (totaling 332 m) were completed at the Cedro deposit (151,000 ounces [“oz”]
2PGE+Au contained in an inferred resource of 4.2 million tonnes [ “Mt”] grading 1. 10 g/t 2PGE+Au ) to
provide PGE mineralized material for ongoing metallurgical testwork. In addition, 6 holes (378 m) were
drilled into the Esbarro deposit (394,000 oz 2PGE+Au in 9.9 Mt grading 1.23 g/t 2PGE+Au), and 4 holes
(213 m) were drilled into the Curiu deposit ( 100,000 oz 2PGE+Au in 1.6 Mt grading 1.93 g/t 2PGE+A u).

program.
All drill holes confirmed the historically reported mineralized ultramafic (“UM”) intrusion and returned broad,
consistently mineralized 2PGE+Au intercepts, originating at surface and at depth, down dip . See Table 1
and 2 below for a complete table of Cedro drill core assays and Figure 1 for a map of the metallurgical drill
hole locations at Cedro.

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 51 exploration licenses covering a total area of 55,984 hectares
(138,339 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+A u contained in 27.2 million tonnes
grading 1.22 g/t 2PGE+Au (CLICK HERE for 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 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.
