Vior Gold Corporation Provides Exploration Update on the Kinebik Project and Announces Property Acquisitions

About this update from Vior Gold Corporation Inc.

BROSSARD, Québec, June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VIOR GOLD CORPORATION INC. ("Vior Gold Corporation", "Vior" or the "Corporation") (TSXV: VIO, OTCQB: VIORF, FRA: VL5) is pleased to provide an update on exploration activities for the second half of 2026. The Corporation expected to initiate its drilling program on the Kinebik project, located 40 kilometers northeast of the town of Lebel-sur-Quévillon, in early July, pending wood cutting permits. A first drill rig is expected to be mobilized during the first week of July and the second one during the third week of July. Drilling will focus on the high-priority target of Cameron Main, located directly to the southeast of the Cartwright showing. Drilling conducted in 2024 and 2025 by O3 Mining Inc. returned values of 5.07 g/t Au over 2.8 meters and 2.44 g/t Au over 5.6 meters (Cameron Main, drillhole O3KN-24-011 unpublished by O3 Mining Inc. from SIGEOM: GM 74516). Mineralization at Cameron Main is mainly controlled by millimetric to centimetric quartz veins hosted in highly magnetic basalts strongly sheared and strongly altered in silica, sericite and ankerite. Mineralization occurs as disseminated pyrite ranging from 1 to 5% pyrite. The mafic rocks are cross-cut by felsic porphyry dykes that are mineralized with pyrite and crosscut by quartz veins that can also carry gold mineralization. The Cameron Main zone has been traced laterally over a length of approximately 1 kilometer and vertically to 300 meters and remain open in both directions. The second priority target will test the Florence area, that historically returned 6.56 g/t Au over 5.0 meters including 30.0 g/t Au over 1.0 meters (from SIGEOM: GM47626) and 2.26 g/t Au over 3.8 meters including 7.25 g/t Au over 1.0 meters (from SIGEOM: GM47626). Mineralization at Florence occurs in millimetric to centimetric quartz-carbonate veins in intermediate to mafic volcanic rocks altered with carbonate, chlorite and sericite and also in granodiorite. Fine grained disseminated pyrite-pyrrhotite averaging 1% is associated with veining. Mathieu Savard, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vior Gold Corporation, commented "We are thrilled about the upcoming drilling program on Kinebik, a district scale project that straddles over 55 kilometers of the scarcely explored Cameron Break. This first phase of drilling will include 15,000 meters of drilling that wil...
