Valorem Resources announces commencement of 2020 exploration targeting and plans Technical Report for the Black Dog Lake Property

Vancouver, October 1st, 2020 - Valorem Resources Inc, (CSE:VALU) (CNSX:VALU.CN) (the “Company” or “Valorem”) is pleased to announce commencement of data compilation and exploration program planning for the Black Dog Lake Gold Property (the “Black Dog” or “Property”) located in the James Bay Region of Quebec. Valorem is currently compiling available data from government, industry, and academic sources to define and rank the highest-priority target areas where future field work will be focused. Immediately following the detailed data review and targetting, the Company intends to complete a Technical Report on the Property in accordance with NI 43-101.

The Black Dog Lake Property is comprised of 19 contiguous mineral claims covering 1,003 hectares, located 150 km east of James Bay, Quebec. The Property includes the historical Black Dog Lake (Lac Hudson) Gold Showing, discovered in 1988 by Eastmain Resources Ltd. The showing consists of an auriferous sulphide-facies iron formation and was subsequently tested by four (4) drill holes in the immediate area (Shelp 1989; report GM49584). The drilling yielding several prospective gold intersections at the occurrence including 15.2 g/t Au and 22.3 g/t Ag over 0.6 m (LH-88-01); 5.62 g/t Au over 1.1 m (LH-88-02); and 4.32 g/t Au over 0.88 m (LH-88-03). In 1995, Eastmain Resources completed three (3) widely spaced drill holes as follow-up, with narrow intervals of auriferous iron formation encountered in each, including 3.0 g/t Au over 1.0 m (LH-95-01). The drilling successfully expanded the mineralized zone and continued exploration was recommended (report GM54627). In 2014, surface exploration in the area by Virginia Mines Inc. concluded there was potential for additional gold occurrences to be present, and recommended a “rigorous” prospecting program, as well as geophysics and continued drill testing (Lavoie 2014; report GM68876).

The gold mineralization at Black Dog is associated with high sulphide content (semi-massive) and reported to be magnetic and conductive (Shelp 1989; report GM49584) making it potentially traceable using high-resolution surface and airborne geophysical survey methods.

Exploration of the Property by the Company is expected to focus on two (2), kilometre-scale target areas with reported sulphide-facies iron formations, including Black Dog Lake (Lac Hudson), which parallel the contact with the Archean granitoid Mistumis Batholith at the southern boundary of the Property.
