ValOre Metals Corp. (“ValOre”;
TSX‐V: VO; OTC: KVLQF; Frankfurt:
KEQ0, “the Company”) today announced the commencement of a
4,500 metre (“m”) diamond drill program at ValOre’s 100% owned
59,483-hectare Angilak Property Uranium Project (“Angilak”),
located in Nunavut Territory, Canada.
“2022 RC drilling at the Dipole and J4 West
targets intersected high-grade, near-surface, basement-hosted
uranium, and immediate follow-up is warranted in the core drilling
program,” stated ValOre’s VP of Exploration, Colin Smith. “Two
diamond drill rigs are at Dipole, with the first rig already
drilling, and the second to commence within the week. Down-dip and
along-strike core holes will test extensions to highly radioactive
RC intercepts, including 65,535 CPS at ~30 m vertical
depth (Dipole) and 22,146
CPS at ~36 m vertical depth (J4
West)”.
Angilak 2022 Diamond Drill Program
Highlights:
- 4,500 m core drilling program to be conducted with 2 diamond
drill rigs;
- Dipole target – 3,000 m planned in 16 holes;
- J4 West target – 1,500 m planned in 14 holes;
- Program goal is to incorporate drill results into future
resource estimates.
The 2022 Reverse Circulation (“RC”) drill
program intersected near-surface radioactivity in 22 of 27 holes,
with vertical depths of radioactive zones ranging from 7 to 110
metres, at the Dipole, Yat, and J4 West targets. Initial assay
results from the completed RC drill program are expected in the
first half of August, 2022.

About Angilak
The 59,483-hectare Angilak Property is situated
in the mining- and exploration-friendly Nunavut Territory, Canada,
and has district-scale potential for uranium, precious and base
metals. Since acquisition, ValOre has invested over CAD$55 million
on resource delineation and exploration drilling (89,572 metres in
589 drill holes), metallurgy, geophysics, geochemistry, and
logistics across the large land package. This work supported the
development of the significant Lac 50 Trend NI 43-101 inferred
uranium resource estimate (“Lac 50”).
The Lac 50 NI 43-101 Technical Report (effective
date March 1, 2013) defined an inferred resource estimate which
represents Canada’s highest-grade uranium resource outside of
Saskatchewan, and one of highest-grade uranium resources on a
global basis. Highlights include:
- 43.3 Mlbs
U3O8 in
2,831,000 tonnes grading 0.69% U3O8. CLICK HERE for a summary table
of the Lac 50 Trend inferred resource estimate;
- Supported by 351 resource delineation drill holes totaling
62,023 metres (“m”);
- Metallurgical results for Lac 50 demonstrate high uranium
recoveries and rapid leach kinetics. See news releases: February
28, 2013, September 11, 2013 and February 27, 2014;
- Lac 50 Trend is a 15 kilometre (“km”) by 3 km area with
excellent potential for resource growth and new discoveries;
- Uranium mineralization starts at surface, and has been drilled
to 380 m vertical depth;

the Pedra Branca Platinum Group Elements (PGE) property, in Brazil,
to bolster its existing Angilak uranium, Genesis/Hatchet uranium
and Baffin gold projects in Canada.
The Pedra Branca PGE Project comprises 52
exploration licenses covering a total area of 56,852 hectares
(140,484 acres) in northeastern Brazil. At Pedra Branca, 7 distinct
PGE+Au deposit areas host, in aggregate, a 2022 NI 43-101 inferred
resource of 2.198 Moz 2PGE+Au contained in 63.6 Mt grading 1.08 g/t
2PGE+Au (CLICK HERE for news release dated March 24, 2022). All the
currently known Pedra Branca inferred PGE resources are potentially
open pittable.
Comprehensive exploration programs have
demonstrated the "District Scale" potential of ValOre’s Angilak
Property in Nunavut Territory, Canada that hosts the Lac 50 Trend
having a current Inferred Resource of 2,831,000 tonnes grading
0.69% U3O8, totaling 43.3 million pounds U3O8. For disclosure
