Late last month, Vior Inc. (Ticker: VIO.v, VIORF for U.S. investors) initiated a fully funded drilling campaign exceeding 60,000 metres at the Belleterre Gold Project. This development marks a significant milestone for the junior mining company as it seeks to unlock new gold resources in Quebec’s historic Belleterre Greenstone Belt.
Strategic Location: A Historic Mining Region with Untapped Potential
The Belleterre project is situated within Quebec’s renowned Belleterre Greenstone Belt, a region known for its historical high-grade gold production. The project spans 635 claims covering an area of 348 km², presenting a district-scale opportunity for Vior. Despite the region’s rich history, many areas remain underexplored, positioning this project for significant progress.
This drilling campaign is the largest since the Belleterre gold mine ceased operations in 1959. With a focus on expanding known mineralized zones both along strike and at greater depths, Vior aims to uncover new opportunities for gold discoveries.
The fully permitted drilling program is supported by exceptional road access and two drill rigs, with the option to expand as needed. The project's strategic location offers logistical advantages, benefiting from proximity to key mining towns and a well-developed transportation network, reducing exploration costs.
Strategic Focus: Belleterre Mine Trend and Regional Area
Vior Inc.'s ambitious drilling campaign aims to solidify the Belleterre Gold Project's standing as a premier exploration site in Quebec, with the potential to deliver significant new gold discoveries. By leveraging the project's historical context and underexplored areas, Vior is positioning itself for substantial growth and value creation in a highly prospective region.
