[ChiChi3]

The news release seems pretty positive about the potential of these deposits. Chi. ------------------------------ January 29, 2008 Vior Begins Drilling Program on Buteux and Fecteau Projects QUEBEC CITY, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Jan. 29, 2008) - Vior (TSX VENTURE:VIO) (FRANKFURT:VL5) announces today that it has begun a 2000 metre drilling program on its Buteux and Fecteau exploration projects located 125 kilometres southwest of Chibougamau, and 110 kilometres east of Lebel-sur-Quevillon, Province of Quebec. The first phase of the drilling program will target an area of chargeability highlighted by an IP survey (Induced Polarization) carried over the property in the fall of 2007. A new gold showing (Guylaine) that returned high gold values ranging from 6.8 g/t Au to 26.7 g/t Au from chosen samples (See press release dated October 25, 2007), coincides with this anomaly that runs for more than 400 metres in the southern part of the property. The drilling program will also test the Desgagne showings that also returned high-grade gold values of 8 g/t Au to 85 g/t Au from chosen samples approximately 120 metres from the Guylaine showing (See press release dated February 22, 2007). The second phase of the program will verify the extension of the Lac Fecteau zinc anomaly (FEC-98-01, 1.6% Zn over 5.6 metres) located in the northern section of the property. The Buteux and Fecteau projects are located in the Urban-Barry greenstone segment, east of the Abitibi greenstone belt, approximately 20 kilometres east of the Noront discovery announced in December 2006 (1,792.9 g/t Au over 4.8 metres). The Buteux and Fecteau properties are wholly-owned by Vior and comprise 154 claims covering more than 9,100 hectares. This very little explored area is now easily accessed by forest roads and in our view has the potential for the discovery of a major gold and/or base metal deposit.
