[{"type":"text","content":"Vior's Maiden Drill Program Confirms High-Grade Gold Veins On The Historic Belleterre Mine TrendMONTREAL, QC / ACCESSWIRE / April 6, 2022 / Vior Inc. (\"Vior\" or the \"Corporation\"), (TSX-V:VIO, OTC PINK:VIORF and FRANKFURT:VL51) is pleased to announce the results of its Phase I (December 2021) drill program at its district-scale Belleterre gold (\"Au\") project (\"Belleterre\" or \"Project\") in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region of Quebec (Figure 1). The objective of the Phase I program was to test the continuity of multiple gold-bearing veins at depth and better define the geological framework of the historic Belleterre mine trend, which has seen limited historic drilling below 200 metres (\"m\") vertical depths. Drilling successfully intersected the down-dip projections of multiple historically mineralized vein structures including a highlight intercept of 55.2 grams per tonne (\"g/t\") Au over 0.5 m in drill hole BV21-001. Drilling also intersected other previously unrecognized gold-bearing quartz veins and structures with additional details of the program highlighted below.The Corporation's 4,000 m Phase II drill program is currently in-progress (see March 3, 2022 press release HERE) and comprises a mix of confirmation and step-out drilling along the projected extensions of multiple past producing gold bearing vein structures of the historic Belleterre gold mine.Mark Fedosiewich, Vior's President and CEO commented, \"Five core holes were drilled in Vior's Phase I maiden drill program, four of them returned gold intercepts including two narrow high-grade gold and three thick intercepts of lower-grade gold-bearing quartz veins. Our team is very encouraged by the strength of the gold system, which not only shows exceptional continuity over 350 meters down-dip of the historic Aubelle Mineralized Zone (AMZ) and the Conway vein, but also suggests these zones are increasing in thickness with depth. This initial drill program was a big step towards de-risking the Belleterre gold project, and the structural data obtained from this program will be critical in helping our team vector towards higher-grade vein shoots.\"Mr. Fedosiewich continues, \"In addition, we are very encouraged by the progress of our ongoing Phase II drill program, where we are focused on validating high-grade gold feeder structures surrounding the historic ...
