[{"type":"text","content":"Vior Intersects High-Grade Gold-Bearing Quartz Veins and Provides Exploration Update at BelleterreMONTREAL, QC / ACCESSWIRE / July 19, 2022 / Vior Inc. (\"Vior\" or the \"Corporation\"), (TSX-V:VIO)(OTC PINK:VIORF)(FRANKFURT:VL51) is pleased to announce results from its Phase II drill program and to provide an exploration update on its flagship Belleterre gold project. The Phase II program targeted select areas adjacent to the historic mine workings at Shaft 2 and Shaft 3 to better understand the structural controls on high-grade gold (\"Au\") mineralization at Belleterre. The 12W deformation structure, located directly on-strike with Shaft 3, returned the strongest intercepts from multiple holes, including zones of 1.0 to 15.85 metres (\"m\") of quartz veining, shearing, and pervasive quartz flooding. Hole BV22-011 returned the highest-grade intercept of 1.35 m grading 12.87 grams per tonne (\"g/t\") Au within 15.85 m grading 1.28 g/t Au. Hole BV22-011 intercepted high-grade gold associated with quartz veining and contained very fine disseminated visible gold (\"VG\") throughout the vein intercept. Vior has now drilled 6 core holes along the 12W deformation zone and defined over 500 m of strike with the system open to the southwest and at depth.Mark Fedosiewich, President & CEO stated: In a short period of time, we have retransformed our exploration portfolio by consolidating the district-scale gold project at Belleterre, one of the highest-grade historic gold mines in Quebec. Belleterre was historically known as a high-grade narrow vein gold mine, however, our team is very encouraged by the thicker, shear-hosted style of mineralization observed in our first two drill programs, which is common across multiple greenstone belts in Ontario and Quebec. Phases I and II have confirmed the potential to expand historically mined veins along strike and at depth as well as make new discoveries along several recently identified gold-bearing structures. Belleterre exhibits exceptional exploration upside and there are many past and current examples of new discoveries in historic gold mining camps that have resulted in tremendous value creation for junior explorers. Vior's value creation process is well underway at Belleterre.Highlights include:High-grade intersect on the 12W structure: 12.87 g/t Au over 1.35 m included in 1.28 g/t Au ov...
