VIOR GOLD CORPORATION EXTENDS HIGH-GRADE MINERALIZATION LATERALLY
Vior Gold Corp. Inc. has released new results from its 30,000-metre continuing drill program on its 100-per-cent-owned Ligneris project, located 55 kilometres northwest of the town of Amos in the Abitibi region in Quebec.
Mineralization that returned 5.17 grams per tonne gold over 2.90 metres, including 13.4 g/t Au over 1.0 metre, reported in LI-26-024 consists predominantly of trace to 3 per cent pyrite hosted in a strongly deformed rhyolite with a moderate to strong sericitization and silicification. It extends mineralization outlined in LI-26-005-EXT (5.64 g/t Au over 4.0 metres; see news release dated March 17, 2026) by more than 100 metre toward the west.
Drill hole LI-26-034 returned 7.37 g/t Au over 2.0 metres at 564.0 metres including 12.6 g/t Au over 1.0 metre. It was collared 160 metres east from drill hole LI-26-012 (12.8 g/t Au over 2.0 metres; see news release dated June 2, 2026) extending the mineralization and alteration halo farther to the northeast. Mineralization occurs as finely disseminated pyrite, ranging from 1 to 2 per cent hosted in a moderately sericitized and strongly silicified rhyolite. Additional mineralization from the same drill hole returned values of 3.45 g/t Au over 3.7 metres at 439.3 metres and 3.26 g/t Au over 2.0 metres at 697.0 metres. These results extend the known mineralized structure on South zone to more than 1,300 metres laterally.
Mathieu Savard, president and chief executive officer of Vior Gold, commented: "We are building strong momentum with consistent, high-quality results at Ligneris. Drill hole LI-026-034 results are key as they are opening up gold mineralization to the east at depth and confirming that the South zone now extends over 1.3 kilometres laterally -- a significant expansion of this high-potential corridor. The next phase of drilling will focus on infilling this zone with a tighter drill mesh to further define its scale and continuity. With more than 6,000 assays still pending from the lab and drilling advancing toward the 25,000-metre mark, we remain highly encouraged about the growth potential we continue to uncover at Ligneris."
The corporation has completed approximately 23,600 metres of drilling since the beginning of the 2026 program and more than 6,000 assays are pending at the laboratory. Vior is currently drilling with one drill rig and will continue until the end of August. The corporation is expected to complete its 30,000-metre program during Q3 2026.
Kinebik drilling
The corporation also wishes to announce the start of its 15,000-metre drill campaign at Kinebik. One drill rig arrived at site on Wednesday and a second drill rig is expected to arrive next week. For more details about the program, please refer to the corporation's news release dated June 30, 2026.
Quality control
True widths are estimated at 65 to 80 per cent of the reported core length intervals. Assays are uncut except where indicated. All NQ core assays reported were obtained by either one-kilogram screen fire assay or standard 50-gram fire assaying (AA finish or gravimetric finish) at ALS Laboratories in Val d'Or, Que., or Sudbury, Ont. The one-kilogram screen assay method is used when samples contain coarse gold intervals. Selected samples are also analyzed for multielements using a four-acid digestion (ICP-MS) method at ALS Laboratories. Drill program design, quality assurance/quality control and interpretation of results are performed by qualified persons employing a quality assurance/quality control 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 indicative of mineralization on the Ligneris project.
Qualified person
The technical content disclosed in this news release was reviewed and approved by Pascal Simard, vice-president, exploration, at Vior Gold, a qualified person as per NI 43-101.
