ValOre Drills High-Grade PGE and Nickel-Copper Mineralization 150 m South of Trapia 1, Pedra Branca Project

71.8 m at 1.59 g/t 2PGE+Au, including 8.15 m at 10.54 g/t 2PGE+Au, 0.37% Ni and 0.11% Cu

VANCOUVER, Sept. 25, 2023 - ValOre Drills High-Grade PGE and Nickel-Copper Mineralization 150 m South of Trapia 1, Pedra Branca Project: 71.8 m at 1.59 g/t 2PGE+Au, including 8.15 m at 10.54 g/t 2PGE+Au, 0.37% Ni and 0.11% Cu

Vancouver, British Columbia, September 25th, 2023 - ValOre Metals Corp. ("ValOre"; TSX?V: VO; OTCQB: KVLQF; Frankfurt: KEQ0, "the Company") today reported initial assay results from the recently completed 2023 Phase 1 core drilling at ValOre's 100%-owned Pedra Branca Platinum Group Elements ("PGE", "2PGE+Au") Project ("Pedra Branca") in northeastern Brazil.

"Drill results from DD23TU33 indicate a broad interval of high-grade mineralization intersected in a 150-metre step out hole to the south of the existing resource at Trapia 1, underscoring the resource expansion potential. Importantly, this broad intersection contains a higher-sulphide, high-grade PGE-Ni-Cu interval that may be amenable to targeting by geophysical methods," stated Thiago Diniz, Exploration Manager, ValOre Metals Corp.. "Trapia 1 results have ramifications at other known zones across the Pedra Branca project, as they clearly demonstrate significant resource expansion potential at depth and down dip of previous drilling."

Highlights

Trapia 1

  • Assay results received for the first of four holes drilled in 2023 at the Trapia 1 deposit (total 1,326 m);
    • 71.8 metres ("m") at 1.59 grams per tonne palladium + platinum + gold ("g/t 2PGE+Au") starting from 235.9 m, including 8.15 m at 10.54 g/t 2PGE+Au, 0.37% Ni and 0.11% Cu;
    • High-grade palladium-platinum and nickel-copper mineralization occurs in association with a sulfide-rich peridotitic horizon at the bottom of the chromitite reef, and is characterized by up to 5% disseminated to brecciated pyrrhotite, pyrite, pentlandite and chalcopyrite (Figures 3 and 4);
  • PGE mineralization intercepted 150 m outside of the existing 2022 NI 43-101 resource at Trapia 1 (480,000 oz of the total Trapia 2022 NI 43-101 resource of 885,000 oz at 0.96 g/t);
  • Assays pending for the remaining Trapia 1 holes, including DD23TU35 located up-dip of DD23TU33; and DD23TU32, representing an additional 150 m step out to the south, along strike and down-plunge of DD23TU33.

2023 Drill Program

  • 6,152 m drilled in 49 holes distributed along 8 separate exploration and resource zones (see ValOre news release of September 21, 2023);
  • 1,625 core samples sent to lab, with assays pending for 641 samples from 14 holes.
  • Recently received assays results also include near-surface PGE mineralization drilled in the Ipueiras target, including:
    • 11.85 m grading 0.55 g/t 2PGE+Au from surface, incl. 0.9 m grading 1.58 g/t 2PGE+Au from 2.65 m in drill hole DD23IP04;
