[{"type":"text","content":"Vior Confirms Several New Prospective Gold Areas at Skyfall Along a 37 km Strike Length of the Eastern Urban-Barry Belt, Abitibi, QuebecMONTREAL, QC / ACCESSWIRE / March 11, 2021 / VIOR INC. (\"Vior\" or the \"Corporation\") (TSXV:VIO)(FRANKFURT:VL51) is pleased to report high gold grain counts in samples from its first reconnaissance till sampling program conducted in this area in the fall of 2020. The Skyfall project is located approximately 150 kilometres east of Lebel-sur-Quevillon and 75 kilometres south of Chapais, Quebec. The project was developed by Vior over the past six months, via property consolidation, claim acquisition and map designation.Wholly owned by Vior, the district-scale Skyfall project consists of 456 claims currently totalling more than 253 square kilometres and covering, over a strike length of more than 37 kilometres, the eastern part of the Urban-Barry belt, which namely hosts the Windfall project (more than 6 Moz Au, source: Osisko Mining's (‘'Osisko'') 43-101 Technical Report, dated March 8, 2021), currently being developed by Osisko.Till sampling results:7 distinct till sample clusters were delineated, each containing at least one sample with more than 50 gold grains;8 till samples with more than 70 gold grains, including 2 samples with 120 and 132 gold grains;20 till samples contain more than 10 pristine gold grains, including 5 samples containing between 20 and 39 pristine gold grains.\"The significance of these results, during a preliminary phase of exploration, is tremendous as it demonstrates that the geology in the eastern extension of this belt is just as prospective. The results obtained exceed all expectations, with 7 clusters of till samples showing high gold grain counts up to 132 and also including significant counts of pristine gold grains, which indicate that a source of gold mineralization is nearby. In light of these results, the Skyfall project will be the focus of a major exploration program during 2021\", stated Marc L'Heureux, VP Exploration for the Corporation.A total of 160 till samples, averaging 10 kilograms each, were collected in the field along a series of traverses oriented WNW-ESE and E-W, with sampling lines spaced approximately 2.0 to 2.5 kilometres apart, perpendicular to the dominant glacial flow direction, with a spacing of approximately 350 metres between sa...
