Vior Gold Corporation Continues to Extend High-Grade Footprint at Ligneris

Vior Gold Corporation Inc. (VIO) has released new drill results from its 30,000-metre Ligneris drill program in Quebec. The company reports that approximately 25,500 metres have been completed at Ligneris, with more than 2,600 assays pending and over 5,000 metres remaining to be drilled. Kinebik currently has two rigs active, having completed about 6,500 metres, with the first Kinebik assays expected in the second half of September.

Key results from the South Zone include hole LI-26-038, which intersected 6.43 g/t Au over 4.9 m from 1285.0 m, including 8.55 g/t Au over 3.0 m. Vior identifies this as the deepest gold value at the Ligneris South Zone, located at 845 m vertical depth, extending the mineralized trend 400 m laterally. Hole LI-26-036 returned 3.36 g/t Au over 8.0 m from 477.0 m, described as infilling a ~200 m gap and confirming continuity to the northeast. Hole LI-26-035 yielded two intervals: 14.6 g/t Au over 2.0 m from 1031.0 m, including 29.0 g/t Au over 1.0 m; and 1.17 g/t Au over 8.4 m from 932.3 m. Additional South Zone results include narrow intervals in hole LI-26-026 of 8.05 g/t Au over 1.0 m and 5.68 g/t Au over 1.0 m, while holes LI-26-012 and LI-26-014 returned lower-grade intervals of 1.03 g/t Au over 9.0 m and 1.12 g/t Au over 9.5 m, respectively.

In the Centre Zone, hole LI-26-023 intersected 37.1 g/t Au over 1.5 m from 421.5 m, including 54.5 g/t Au over 1.0 m. Holes LI-26-025 and LI-26-020 returned 5.80 g/t Au over 2.0 m and 0.94 g/t Au over 5.0 m.

Vior Gold Corporation Inc. (VIO) is a pre-resource junior explorer with no revenue and no mineral resource. The materiality of the company’s recent activities rests on whether drilling demonstrates a large, continuous, recoverable gold system.

New results extend the South Zone trend, marking a 400 m lateral step-out and the deepest intercept to date. The Centre Zone also returned a high-grade interval. However, the grade-thickness values do not represent a step-change. LI-26-038’s 31.5 g-m is essentially in line with the prior deep anchor, LI-26-010-EXT, at 31.8 g-m.

The stock is near the bottom of its 52-week range at C$0.10, meaning previous good results are not already embedded in the price. This release serves as incremental confirmation and extension rather than a discovery.
