VIOR GOLD CORPORATION INC. (TSX-V: VIO) (OTCQB: VIORF) (FRA: VL5) is pleased to announce new high-grade results from its 30,000-metres drill program on its 100%-owned Ligneris Project located 55 kilometers northwest of the town of Amos, Abitibi region, Quebec.

South Zone

Notable results reported in this news release include 6.43 g/t Au over 4.9 metres including 8.55 g/t Au over 3.0 metres from hole LI-26-038. Mineralization consists predominantly of trace to locally 5% pyrite, disseminated or in clusters, hosted in a strongly silicified and sericitized rhyolite. The hole targeted the southwest extension of the deepest mineralized intercept previously reported in hole LI-26-010-EXT (7.94 g/t Au over 4.0 metres) and successfully extended the mineralized trend by 400 metres laterally. At 845 metres of vertical depth, it represents the deepest gold value intersected to date at Ligneris South Zone.

Drill hole LI-26-036 was realized 150 metres south of LI-26-012 (12.8 g/t Au over 2.0 metres; see news release of May 7, 2026) and returned 3.36 g/t Au over 8.0 metres. Mineralization occurs as finely disseminated pyrite ranging from 1 to 3 % hosted in a moderately sericitized and silicified rhyolite. This hole infills an untested gap of approximately 200 metres and confirms the continuity of South Zone towards the northeast.

LI-26-035 returned 14.6 g/t Au over 2.0 metres including 29.0 g/t Au over 1.0 metres and was designed to test the northeast extension of the mineralized zone identified in drillhole LI-26-010-EXT. The mineralized zone was intersected at 715 metres of vertical depth and extends the mineralized trend by approximately 70 metres towards northeast from hole LI-26-010-EXT in an area that remains untested laterally and vertically.

Mathieu Savard, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vior Gold Corporation, commented: “These new results are exciting, continuing to provide high-grade and thickness suggesting potential for several additional high-grade shoots in the South Zone trend at Ligneris. Hole LI-26-038, which intersected 6.43 g/t Au over 4.9 metres, is the deepest value encountered at Ligneris to date, at 845 metres. Combined with the 7.94 g/t Au over 4.0 metres from hole LI-26-010-EXT (see news release dated June 2, 2026) and the 5.17 g/t Au over 2.9 metres reported on July 16, 2026, these results confirm that high-grade mineralization at Ligneris have a strong vertical and lateral extent. We are beginning to define a mineralized volume that we intend to keep growing as our infill and expansion drilling program advances. With more than 5,000 metres of drilling still to be completed by year-end 2026, this work will focus on expanding the high-grade mineralization both laterally and vertically.”

Centre Zone

During the winter, the Corporation also completed seven drill holes for a total of 3682 metres on the Centre Zone. Situated approximately 1.3 kilometres north of the South Zone, the Centre Zone displays comparable geological features and mineralization controls to those identified in the South Zone. It consists of sheared felsic to intermediate altered (sericitized, carbonatized and silicified) and mineralized volcanic rocks. Mineralization is usually observed as disseminated sphalerite (traces to 10%) and pyrite (1-40%) with traces of chalcopyrite and galena. Historically, several gold intersections are combined with zinc low grade of 0.3 to 1 % over larger thicknesses of many meters.

Significant results received from Centre Zone include results from hole LI-26-023 which returned 37.1 g/t Au over 1.5 metres including 54.5 g/t Au over 1.0 metres and hole LI-26-025, which intersected 5.80 g/t Au over 2.0 metres including 11.4 g/t Au over 1.0 metres.

Vior plans to return to the Centre Zone next winter to further test the continuity and extent of the gold mineralization through additional drilling.

The Corporation has completed approximately 25,500 metres of drilling since the beginning of the 2026 program and more than 2,600 assays are pending at the laboratory. Vior is currently drilling with 1 drill rig and will continue until the end of the program expected to terminate at the beginning of Q4-2026.

On Kinebik, two drill rigs are active and have completed approximately 6,500 metres of drilling since the beginning of the program on July 16, 2026. Vior is expecting to receive the first batch of analysis during the second half of September.

Quality Control

True widths are estimated at 65-80% of the reported core length intervals. Assays are uncut except where indicated. All NQ core assays reported were obtained by either 1-kg screen fire assay or standard 50 gram fire-assaying-AA finish or gravimetric finish at ALS Laboratories in Val d’Or, Québec or Sudbury, Ontario. The 1-kg screen assay method is used when samples contain coarse gold intervals. Selected samples are also analyzed for multi-elements using a Four Acid Digestion-ICP-MS method at ALS Laboratories. Drill program design, Quality Assurance/Quality Control (“QA/QC”), and interpretation of results is performed by qualified persons employing a QA/QC program consistent with NI 43-101 and industry best practices. Standards and blanks are alternately inserted every 10 samples to adhere to strict QA/QC guidelines and protocols by the Corporation and the lab. Historical results on the Ligneris Project described in this news release are from public sources and the Qualified Person responsible for the review and approval of the technical information disclosed in this news release (see details below) has not verified the information relating to these historical results. Consequently, such information is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Ligneris Project.
