# Vior Gold Corporation Intersects 12.8 g/t Au Over 2.0 Meters and 5.45 g/t Au Over 3.0 Meters *2026-05-07T07:30:00-04:00* Vior Gold Corporation Intersects 12.8 g/t Au Over 2.0 Meters and 5.45 g/t Au Over 3.0 Meters BROSSARD, Quebec, May 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- **VIOR****GOLD CORPORATION INC.**(“Vior Gold Corporation”, “Vior” or the “Corporation”) (TSXV: VIO, OTCQB: VIORF, FRA: VL5) is pleased to report additional results from its 20,000-metre ongoing drill program on its 100%-owned Ligneris Project located 55 kilometers northwest of the town of Amos, Abitibi region, Quebec. Drillhole LI-26-010-EXT, drilled 50 meters southeast of drillhole LI-26-005-EXT (5.64 g/t Au over 4.0 meters; see news release dated March 17, 2026) intersected **5.45 g/t Au over 3.0 meters including 14.8 g/t Au over 1.0 meters. **This interval confirms high-grade gold mineralization continuity below 650 meters vertically. It is hosted in a strongly altered rhyolite characterized primarily by sericite and local patchy to pervasive silica with traces to 2% pyrite. Moreover, drillhole LI-26-010-EXT intersected a broad interval of low-grade gold mineralization that returned **0.79 g/t Au over 40.3 meters****including 1.19 g/t Au over 15.0 meters**at 580 meters vertical depth. Drillhole LI-26-012 collared 430 meters northeast of hole LI-26-002 (35.2 g/t Au over 3.0 meters; see news release dated March 17, 2026) returned values of **12.8 g/t Au over 2.0 meters including 22.3 g/t Au over 0.5 meters. **Mineralization occurs as finely disseminated pyrite, ranging from trace to 5% in strongly silicified bands of centimetric to decametric scale hosted in a strongly sericitized rhyolite. Drillholes LI-26-014 and LI-26-007 intersected **38.3 g/t Au over 1.0 meters**and **21.7 g/t Au over 1.0 meters **respectively. These two holes are located on the southwestern extension of the South Zone mineralized structure. Hole LI-26-007 seems to correlate with the intercept in hole LI-26-006 that was previously released on March 17, 2026, that returned 1.10 g/t Au over 24.2 meters. Processing of the whole-rock geochemistry has demonstrated the continuity of the alteration trend towards west, and these new results confirm the fertility of the area. Mathieu Savard, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vior Gold Corporation, commented “With today’s results, we demonstrate the continuity of the South Zone mineralized structure which has now been identified over more than 650 meters laterally and 650 meters vertically. Moreover, broader low grade mineralized intervals continue to be intersected which are indicative of a larger gold system. A closer look at the high-grade intercepts previously published on March 17, 2026 have exhibited visible gold in two of the best intervals characterized by the presence of silica and black chlorite usually found in proximity of VMS system. We are very encouraged by these recent results that, in our view, warrant additional drilling to continue assessing that large gold system.” Since the beginning of drilling program, the Corporation has completed approximately 17,000 meters of drilling on Ligneris. A total of 5,725 assays were received and 9,920 are currently pending at the laboratory. Vior is currently drilling with two (2) drill rigs at Ligneris and should complete the first phase of drilling later this spring. Simultaneously, the Corporation is preparing its first drilling campaign on the recently acquired Kinebik Project, expected to start early this summer. **Table 1 – Drill Core Assay Results** | **Drill hole Number** | **Interval** **From (m)** | **Interval** **To (m)** | **Interval** **Width (m)** | **Au (g/t)** **uncut** | **Zone** | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **LI-26-002** | **100.0** | **103.0** | **3.0** | **2.62** | South Zone | | _including_ | 101.5 | 103.0 | 1.5 | 4.08 | | | **LI-26-003** | **452.7** | **467.0** | **14.3** | **0.71** | South Zone | | _including _ | 452.7 | 454.0 | 1.3 | 3.32 | | | _and_ | 461.4 | 462.7 | 1.3 | 2.96 | | | **LI-26-004** | **314.5** | **317.0** | **2.5** | **3.42** | South Zone | | _including_ | 315.5 | 317.0 | 1.5 | 4.62 | | | **LI-26-005-EXT** | **487.0** | **495.5** | **8.5** | **1.62** | South Zone | | _including_ | 489.0 | 490.0 | 1.0 | 5.01 | | | _and_ | 494.5 | 495.5 | 1.0 | 5.02 | | | **LI-26-005-EXT** | **706.0** | **707.0** | **1.0** | **11.5** | South Zone | | **LI-26-007** | **373.0** | **374.0** | **1.0** | **21.7** | South Zone | | **LI-26-007** | **527.0** | **532.0** | **5.0** | **1.04** | South Zone | | **LI-26-010-EXT** | **666.0** | **706.3** | **40.3** | **0.79** | South Zone | | _including_ | 671.0 | 686.0 | 15.0 | 1.19 | | | _and_ | 694.8 | 699.0 | 4.2 | 1.28 | | | **LI-26-010-EXT** | **765.0** | **768.0** | **3.0** | **5.45** | South Zone | | _including_ | 766.0 | 767.0 | 1.0 | 14.8 | | | **LI-26-012** | **202.0** | **204.0** | **2.0** | **12.8** | South Zone | | _including_ | 202.0 | 202.5 | 0.5 | 22.3 | | | **LI-26-014** | **276.9** |
