Vior Gold Corporation Inc. has intersected the deepest gold value to date at the Ligneris Project in the Abitibi region of Quebec, returning 6.43 g/t gold over 4.9 metres from 1,285 metres downhole in hole LI-26-038.

The hole reached a vertical depth of 845 metres and targeted the southwest extension of a previous intercept, successfully extending the mineralized trend laterally by 400 metres within the project's South Zone.

Drill hole LI-26-035 intersected 14.6 g/t gold over 2.0 metres, including 29.0 g/t gold over 1.0 metre, at a vertical depth of 715 metres. That intercept extends the mineralized trend 70 metres to the northeast in an area that remains untested laterally and vertically. Infill drilling in the South Zone also returned 3.36 g/t gold over 8.0 metres in hole LI-26-036, closing an untested 200-metre gap.

At the Centre Zone, situated approximately 1.3 kilometres north of the South Zone, hole LI-26-023 returned 37.1 g/t gold over 1.5 metres, including 54.5 g/t gold over 1.0 metre. Hole LI-26-025 intersected 5.80 g/t gold over 2.0 metres, including 11.4 g/t gold over 1.0 metre. Vior holds a 100% interest in the Ligneris Project.

“These new results are exciting, continuing to provide high-grade and thickness suggesting potential for several additional high-grade shoots in the South Zone trend at Ligneris. Hole LI-26-038, which intersected 6.43 g/t Au over 4.9 metres, is the deepest value encountered at Ligneris to date, at 845 metres. Combined with the 7.94 g/t Au over 4.0 metres from hole LI-26-010-EXT (see news release dated June 2, 2026) and the 5.17 g/t Au over 2.9 metres reported on July 16, 2026, these results confirm that high-grade mineralization at Ligneris have a strong vertical and lateral extent. We are beginning to define a mineralized volume that we intend to keep growing as our infill and expansion drilling program advances. With more than 5,000 metres of drilling still to be completed by year-end 2026, this work will focus on expanding the high-grade mineralization both laterally and vertically.”

— Mathieu Savard, President and Chief Executive Officer

The ongoing 30,000-metre drill program has completed approximately 25,500 metres to date using a single rig, with operations scheduled to run until early in the fourth quarter of 2026. More than 2,600 assay results are currently pending at the laboratory. Meanwhile, project operator Corporation Aurifère Vior Inc. staked six new mineral claims near the project on August 21, 2026.
