ValOre Reports Final Assay Results for Trapiá 1, Pedra Branca Project

VANCOUVER, Oct. 30, 2023 - ValOre Metals Corp. ("ValOre"; TSX?V: VO; OTCQB: KVLQF; Frankfurt: KEQ0, "the Company") today reported assay results from the Trapiá 1 deposit ("Trapiá 1") area as part of the 2023 Phase 1 drill program at ValOre's 100%-owned Pedra Branca Platinum Group Elements ("PGE", "2PGE+Au") Project ("Pedra Branca") in northeastern Brazil.

"The 2023 core drilling program at Trapiá 1 has successfully demonstrated resource expansion potential, extending known PGE mineralization 400 metres outside of the existing Trapiá 1 resource boundary, including high-grade palladium-platinum mineralization within broad intersections of PGE-mineralized ultramafic rocks, and high-grade magmatic nickel sulfide mineralization," stated Thiago Diniz, Exploration Manager, ValOre Metals Corp.. "The 2023 results build on the 31 previously drilled core holes at Trapiá 1 to extend known mineralization to almost 1 kilometre in strike length and down to 300 metres vertical depth, in a deposit that is already the largest resource zone at Pedra Branca."

Trapiá 1 2023 Drill Program Highlights

• A total of 1,326 metres ("m") were drilled in 4 step-out drill holes, with PGEs intersected in all 4 holes, extending mineralization 400 m outside of the 2022 NI 43-101 optimized resource pit;
• New assays from three of the four holes include:
  • 13.55 m at 0.10 grams per tonne palladium + platinum + gold ("g/t 2PGE+Au"), 0.32% nickel ("Ni"), 0.06% copper ("Cu") starting from 283.2 m, and including 3.10 m at 0.22 g/t 2PGE+Au, 0.95% Ni, 0.21% Cu from 283.7 m and 1.4 m at 0.15 g/t 2PGE+Au, 0.52% Ni, 0.05% Cu from 294.5 m in drill hole DD23TU32;
  • 88.25 m at 0.42 g/t 2PGE+Au from 241.2 m in drill hole DD23TU35;
• Significant magmatic sulfide mineralization intersected in holes DD23TU32 and DD23TU33, including disseminated to semi-massive sulfides (pyrrhotite > pentlandite > chalcopyrite), with four core samples returning over 1% Ni sulfide mineralization in drill hole DD23TU32;
• Drill holes DD23TU34 and DD23TU35 confirm continuity of PGE mineralization, which remains open in all directions.

2023 Pedra Branca Drill Program Summary

• 6,152 m drilled in 49 core holes distributed along 8 separate exploration target and resource zones (see ValOre news release of September 21, 2023);
• 1,625 core samples sent to lab, with assays pending for 154 samples from 7 holes.
