VIO · Price

Executive Summary

  • Vior reported multiple high‑grade gold intercepts from its 100,000 m Belleterre drill program, including 5.34 g/t Au over 2.0 m (Conway zone) and 4.56 g/t Au over 1.7 m (Hoskin).
  • The company announced plans for a 20,000 m drilling campaign at the Ligneris Project, targeting three zones with historic high‑grade intercepts and newly acquired claims.
  • Vior is expanding geophysical coverage on Ligneris with a helicopter‑borne magnetic/VLF‑EM survey this fall.

Key Details

  • Belleterre – New Intercepts
  • Hole BV25‑169 (Conway zone): 5.34 g/t Au over 2.0 m at ~375 m vertical depth.
  • Hole BV25‑168 (Aubelle zone): 1.33 g/t Au over 3.0 m at 720 m vertical depth.
  • Hole BV25‑170 (Aubelle zone): 1.98 g/t Au over 7.35 m at 450 m vertical depth.
  • Hole BV25‑161 (Hoskin): 4.56 g/t Au over 1.7 m at ~485 m vertical depth, confirming extension of the Hoskin corridor.

  • Belleterre – Ongoing Work

  • Drilling continues in Lac Guillet Deformation Zone; ~25 drillholes pending assay results (≈25% of program).
  • Program to run through year‑end, completing Guillet zone and testing regional targets.

  • Ligneris – Upcoming 20,000 m Drill Program

  • First phase will focus on North, Central, and South zones.
  • Historic high‑grade intercepts include:

    • 537.91 g/t Au over 1.8 m (DDH 275‑037) – North Zone
    • 70.0 g/t Au over 0.6 m (DDH 275‑27B) – North Zone
    • 5.72 g/t Au over 3.1 m (DDH 275‑053) and 4.92 g/t Au over 5.4 m (DDH L‑84‑4) – Central Zone
    • 16.84 g/t Au over 8.0 m (including 39.15 g/t Au over 3.0 m, DDH 275‑073) – South Zone
  • Project Expansion & Geophysics

  • Acquired additional 213 claims on Ligneris via map designation.
  • Planned high‑resolution magnetic and VLF‑EM helicopter survey this fall for full project coverage.

  • Quality Control

  • True widths estimated at 65–80 % of reported lengths; assays uncut unless noted.
  • QA/QC performed per NI 43‑101 standards with blanks/standards every 15 samples.

  • Qualified Person – Pascal Simard, Vice‑President Exploration, reviewed and approved technical content.

Notable Quotes

“We have completed most of the drilling in the Belleterre Mine Trend and are waiting for the drilling results from the Lac Guillet Deformation Zone… Drilling will continue until the end of the year…” – Mathieu Savard, President & CEO

“We are quite excited about the upcoming drill program at Ligneris expected to start sometime in November… The program will test vertical and lateral high‑grade gold and large lower grade gold intervals that were obtained historically.” – Mathieu Savard, President & CEO
