In a recent interview on the Ellis Martin Report, Mark Fedosiewich, President and CEO of Vior Inc. (Ticker: VIO.v or VIORF for US investors), detailed the company's activities and strategic approach in Quebec.
Vior, a junior mining exploration company with over 35 years of experience, is focused on the Belleterre Gold Project, a district-scale asset that includes the historically productive Belleterre Mine.
This mine previously yielded 750,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of 10.7 g/t from the 1930s to the late 1950s.
Vior's strategic consolidation of the 350-square-kilometer Belleterre Greenstone Belt, achieved through multiple transactions, has positioned the company to control over 90% of this prospective belt.
Fedosiewich explained that the current 60,000-meter drill program aims to explore and expand known gold zones, particularly around the old mine trend, where shallow and deeper drilling is ongoing.
The company has already drilled approximately 6,000 meters and expects initial assay results soon, targeting high-grade intersections that could significantly boost investor confidence.
Supported by strong partnerships, including Osisko Mining, which was acquired by Gold Fields, Vior completed a $21.83 million financing earlier this year, underscoring investor interest in the company’s potential.
In addition to gold, Vior holds interests in other critical mineral projects, like the Skyfall nickel and copper project, developed with the Quebec government’s exploration arm, SOQUEM. This partnership could attract major industry players for further development.
Fedosiewich highlighted Quebec as one of the most favorable mining jurisdictions, citing government incentives and a strong commodity presence.
The province ranks highly globally, offering robust support for exploration initiatives.
As Vior continues its extensive drilling campaign and exploration strategy, the company remains poised for potential growth and partnerships in the mining sector.
