Quebec-based junior explorer, Vior Inc. (Ticker: VIO.v or VIORF for US investors) reported significant progress last month on the +60,000-meter drill program at its flagship Belleterre Gold Project within the historic and underexplored Belleterre Greenstone Belt.
Since September 23, 2024, Vior has completed 4,054 meters across 19 drill holes, covering the western section of the Belleterre Mine Trend.
Early core analyses have shown encouraging signs of typical Belleterre-style sulphide mineralization, including a significant 16.6-meter-thick section of sulphide-rich quartz veining in altered mafic volcanic rocks.
This early success supports Vior’s geological model and strengthens the case for expanding the mineralized zone beyond previously identified areas, placing the company in a strong position for continued drilling throughout November and into the new year.
In addition, Vior has strategically shifted drilling operations to the nearby Aubelle Deposit, 2.5 kilometers southwest, to accommodate Quebec's hunting season.
This relocation allows exploration activities to continue without disruption and reflects Vior's respectful approach to community relations.
Over 1,244 core samples from October’s drilling have been submitted to ALS Labs in Val d’Or, with assay results expected soon. As drilling moves forward,
Vior plans to further assess the eastward extent of the vein system and explore deeper, previously untested zones, laying the groundwork for new discoveries in 2024.
Bolstering its leadership, Vior appointed Marian Moroney to its Board of Directors on October 23, 2024.
With over 30 years of experience, her background in major mining operations, strategic planning, and joint ventures comes at an ideal time as Vior continues to advance the Belleterre Project amid favorable conditions in the gold market.
