Vior Gold Intersects 12.8 g/t Au Over 2.0 Meters and 5.45 g/t Au Over 3.0 Meters

About this update from Vior Gold Corporation Inc.

BROSSARD, Quebec, May 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VIOR GOLD CORPORATION INC. (“Vior Gold Corporation”, “Vior” or the “Corporation”) (TSXV: VIO, OTCQB: VIORF, FRA: VL5) is pleased to report additional 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. Drillhole LI-26-010-EXT, drilled 50 meters southeast of drillhole LI-26-005-EXT (5.64 g/t Au over 4.0 meters; see news release dated March 17, 2026) intersected 5.45 g/t Au over 3.0 meters including 14.8 g/t Au over 1.0 meters. This interval confirms high-grade gold mineralization continuity below 650 meters vertically. It is hosted in a strongly altered rhyolite characterized primarily by sericite and local patchy to pervasive silica with traces to 2% pyrite. Moreover, drillhole LI-26-010-EXT intersected a broad interval of low-grade gold mineralization that returned 0.79 g/t Au over 40.3 meters including 1.19 g/t Au over 15.0 meters at 580 meters vertical depth. Drillhole LI-26-012 collared 430 meters northeast of hole LI-26-002 (35.2 g/t Au over 3.0 meters; see news release dated March 17, 2026) returned values of 12.8 g/t Au over 2.0 meters including 22.3 g/t Au over 0.5 meters. Mineralization occurs as finely disseminated pyrite, ranging from trace to 5% in strongly silicified bands of centimetric to decametric scale hosted in a strongly sericitized rhyolite. Drillholes LI-26-014 and LI-26-007 intersected 38.3 g/t Au over 1.0 meters and 21.7 g/t Au over 1.0 meters respectively. These two holes are located on the southwestern extension of the South Zone mineralized structure. Hole LI-26-007 seems to correlate with the intercept in hole LI-26-006 that was previously released on March 17, 2026, that returned 1.10 g/t Au over 24.2 meters. Processing of the whole-rock geochemistry has demonstrated the continuity of the alteration trend towards west, and these new results confirm the fertility of the area. Mathieu Savard, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vior Gold Corporation, commented “With today’s results, we demonstrate the continuity of the South Zone mineralized structure which has now been identified over more than 650 meters laterally and 650 meters vertically. Moreover, broader low grade mineralized intervals continue to be intersected which are indicative of a larger gold system. ...
