Ongoing 60km Drill Program Unveils High-Grade Gold Results Vior Inc. (Ticker: VIO.v or VIORF for US investors) has shared significant high-grade gold assay results from its ongoing +60,000m diamond drill program at the Belleterre Gold Project in Quebec’s Belleterre Greenstone Belt.
The results underscore the project's potential for extensive high-grade mineralization, both along strike and at depth, particularly in the Belleterre Mine Trend.
Highlights of Drilling Results:
From the Belleterre Vein #12:
From the Aubelle Area:
-
10.4 g/t Au over 1.2m
-
6.2 g/t Au over 1.0m
Drilling at the Aubelle area confirmed continuity of high-grade gold mineralization to depths exceeding 500m, highlighting substantial vertical extension beyond historical workings.
Advancing Exploration
Vior's +60,000m program aims to expand known high-grade zones at the Belleterre Gold Project, which spans 670km² in the prolific Abitibi-Tmiscamingue region. Drilling to date has validated Vior’s geological model, which focuses on orogenic gold mineralization styles within brecciated and altered volcanic rocks. Visible gold has been observed in multiple intervals, further boosting confidence in the system's scale and grade.
The project benefits from excellent infrastructure, low exploration costs, and a history of high-grade gold production, including 750,000 ounces of gold at 10.7 g/t from the historic Belleterre Gold Mine. The project area, which has been underexplored for six decades, also includes targets like the Conway and Paquin veins and the Aubelle deposit, indicating multi-deposit potential.
Next Steps
To capitalize on these promising results, Vior plans to:
-
Deploy a third drill rig to accelerate exploration.
-
Focus on the vertical and lateral extension of the Belleterre Vein #12 system.
-
Advance regional targets across the 6km-long Belleterre Mine Trend.
The company is poised to position the Belleterre Gold Project as a key asset within Quebec’s mining landscape, driven by high-impact discoveries and ongoing support from strategic partners, including the Windfall Mining Group (formerly Osisko Mining).
