HybridWHAT DOES HYBRID MEAN?In common with other junior exploration companies, Vior certainly invests judiciously in its own projects. But we also look to Option or Joint Venture certain projects where appropriate. And Vior also has the ability to make a strategic investment in a private company that has great projects and proven management.
WHAT’S THE HYBRID ADVANTAGE?We have the capability to provide the appropriate amountof financing for our own projects that we wish to advance. But we are also able to make strategic investments in areas of opportunity and partner with others where project risk-sharing is preferred, which both looks to create shareholder value and diversify our overall corporate risk.

Show MeThe Money
$4.7 MVior has a significant equity or ownership interest in 8 mining projects that will be actively explored or drilled in 2020. This level of activity with over $4.7 M in planned exploration expenditures, $4.2 M of which is partners’ money, should generate a considerable amount of news flow throughout the year!

GEOLOGY• Within the prolific Rye Patch and Humboldt trends.
• On trend with the Florida Canyon and Standard open pit, heap leach gold mines with over 2.3 M oz of gold produced to date.
• Host to disseminated and sediment hosted gold mineralization.
• Presence of extensive jasperoid zones associated with gold mineralization in the Natchez Pass limestone.

Mosseau Project / GOLD
BACKGROUND• Located 70 km west of Osisko Mining Inc’s. (5 M+ oz Au resource)
Windfall deposit.
• Vior has secured a prospective land package adjacent to Osisko Mining, Cartier Resources and SOQUEM properties near Lebel-sur-Quévillon, QC, searching for a gold-rich volcanogenic polymetallic deposit.
GEOLOGY• Hosts a mineral resource of 317,700 tonnes grading 3.4 g/t gold known
as the Morono “M zone” (historic, non-compliant 43-101).
• Vior discovered a new gold zone in 2017 grading 1.13 g/t Au over 14.5 meters (40.0 to 56.0 m core length), including 2.93 g/t Au over 4.53 meters.
• Most of the IP anomalies should remain untested
NEXT STEPS•Field follow up in Summer 2020 on IP anomalies
•Will look to drill in late 2020 open to a JV partnership

There’s Money In Rutile (TITANIUM) As Well
US$ 1,100+/tRUTILE WHAT?• Rutile is as mineral composed mainly of titanium dioxide (TiO2).
• Titanium is a metal that has the highest strength-to-density ratio of any metal so far discovered along with high corrosion resistance. It is very valuable and has a host of uses, from aerospace construction to medical devices and sports equipment (not to mention paint pigments, which make up 65% of worldwide sales).
RUTILE PRICES AVERAGED WELL OVER US$ 1,100/T* IN 2019. • The market is growing rapidly and new discoveries are getting rare.
*Source: Iluka Resources Ltd Quartely Review, December 31, 2019
29
Foothills Project / RUTILE
BACKGROUND• Iluka Resources Ltd. is the largest titanium dioxide producer in the
world, with mining operations in Australia, Sierra Leone and Sri Lanka.
• Iluka is fulling funding exploration work. It may earn a 90% interest in the project by spending $2.7 M. Vior will retain a 2% GRR on titanium metals and a 2% NSR on all precious and base metals. Vior is the operator during the exploration phase.
GEOLOGY• Located 100 km east of Quebec City with excellent access and
infrastructure nearby.
• Glacial train of rutile boulders grading up to 57.6% TiO2 discovered in 2015.
• Recently completed a 13 hole 2,664 m drill program to test the HeliFalcon gravity-gradiometric anomalies.
NEXT STEPS• The drill core is being processed and analyzed by IOS Services
Géoscientifiques to determine its physical, mineralogical and geochemical cheracteristics for the next exploration follow-up.
