Vior Gold Corporation Extend High Grade Mineralization at Depth

VIOR GOLD CORPORATION INC. ("Vior Gold Corporation", "Vior" or the "Corporation") (TSXV: VIO,OTC:VIORF, OTCQB: VIORF, FRA: VL5) is pleased to announce new 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.

Highlights:

• Hole LI-26-010-EXT intersected 7.94 g/t Au over 4.0 meters at 990.0 meters.
• Hole LI-26-028 intersected 11.8 g/t over 1.3 meters extending south zone laterally.
• High grade mineralization now delineated to 805 meters vertically.
• Confirms high-grade vertical continuity while remaining open at depth and laterally.

Mathieu Savard, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vior Gold Corporation, commented "When our drill program began in early January, our primary objective was to test the extension of mineralization at greater depth at Ligneris South Zone. The latest results from drill hole LI-26-010-EXT confirm continuity, grade, and significant thickness down to a depth of 805 meters. Over the coming months, the program will continue to test deeper horizons using step-back drill holes exceeding 1,300 metres. It is well established that Archean gold deposits within the Abitibi Greenstone Belt are deeply rooted, and the South Zone is increasingly demonstrating this characteristic, with encouraging results observed below 800 metres vertically. In light of these results, the current drilling campaign has been expanded to 30,000 metres."

Mineralization that returned 7.94 g/t Au over 4.0 meters including 14.6 g/t Au over 1.5 meters reported in LI-26-010-EXT consists predominantly of trace to 5% pyrite hosted in a strongly silicified rhyolite with a weak to moderate sericitization. It was collared 50 meters southeast of LI-26-005-EXT (5.64 g/t Au over 4.0 meters; see news release dated March 17, 2026) that returned a new value of 1.00 g/t Au over 8.5 meters including 5.75 g/t Au over 1.0 meters between 814.0 meters and 822.5 meters. Hole LI-26-010-EXT intersected a second interval that returned 2.99 g/t over 4.0 meters starting at 890.0 meters. Mineralization is characterized by trace to 2% pyrite hosted in a moderately sericitized and silicified rhyolite.

Drillhole LI-26-028 returned 11.8 g/t Au over 1.3 meters including 34.4 g/t Au over 0.4 meters, was collared 350 meters from drillhole LI-26-007 (21.7 g/t Au over 1.0 meters; see news release dated May 7, 2026) extending the mineralization and alteration halo further to the southwest. Mineralization occurs as finely disseminated pyrite, ranging from 3 to 5% hosted in a moderately to strongly sericitized and silicified rhyolite. With this result the mineralization structure on South Zone has now been identified over more than 1,100 meters laterally.

The Corporation has completed approximately 21,000 meters of drilling since the beginning of the 2026 program and more than 10,000 assays are pending at the laboratory. Vior is currently drilling with (2) drill rigs and will continue with (1) drill rig at the end of June. The Corporation is expected to complete its 30,000 meters program during Q3-2026.

Vior is also pleased to announce the beginning of its summer prospecting and mapping programs which will take place from June to September with a team of approximately 10 people. The team will mainly focus on the recently acquired projects while also covering other generative projects. Finally, several airborne magnetic and electromagnetic surveys have been completed or are progressing on our recently acquired projects, namely Kinebik, Peacock (Ligneris) and Launay.

True widths are estimated at 65-80% of the reported core length intervals. Assays are uncut except where indicated. All NQ core assays reported were obtained by either 1-kg screen fire assay or standard 50 gram fire-assaying-AA finish or gravimetric finish at ALS Laboratories in Val d'Or, Québec or Sudbury, Ontario. The 1-kg screen assay method is used when samples contain coarse gold intervals. Selected samples are also analyzed for multi-elements using a Four Acid Digestion-ICP-MS method at ALS Laboratories. Drill program design, Quality Assurance/Quality Control ("QA/QC"), and interpretation of results is performed by qualified persons employing a QA/QC 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.
