ValOre Metals Corp. (“ValOre”;
TSX‐V: VO; OTCQB: KVLQF;
Frankfurt: KEQ0, “the Company”) today announced a
partnership with VRIFY which incorporates VRIFY’s cutting-edge
Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) mineral targeting platform. This
partnership aims to both accelerate and enhance the mineral
discovery process by taking an unbiased data-driven approach
combined with traditional geoscience methods to quickly identify
areas with the highest potential for mineralization. Work will
commence immediately on data from ValOre’s 100% owned Pedra Branca
Platinum Group Elements (“PGE”, “2PGE+Au”) Project (“Pedra Branca”)
in northeastern Brazil.
“We are excited to bolster and empower our
Brazilian technical team with VRIFY’s expertise and cutting-edge AI
technology. Our collective focus will be on growth through
discoveries and expanding known resources at ValOre’s Pedra Branca
palladium and platinum project,” stated ValOre Chairman & CEO,
Jim Paterson. “In addition, we will be looking to acquire
additional precious metals projects in Brazil, a country showing
massive support for advancing mineral exploration and mining
projects.”
“At VRIFY, we love big, high-potential projects
and we are excited to partner with Jim and the ValOre team to apply
our proprietary algorithms and deep technical bench strength to
hopefully play a role in ValOre’s next discovery,” commented Steve
de Jong, CEO of VRIFY Technology. “The mineral exploration industry
is going through a technological transformation which I believe
will accelerate as every day we are seeing more and more
quantifiable proof of the positive impact AI can have on mineral
discovery rates, which have never been lower. It’s only a matter of
time before the entire industry sees these benefits and we’re
excited at ValOre’s willingness to join us in helping catalyze the
process.”
ValOre and VRIFY will leverage a significant
proprietary data set to target new discoveries and expand the
extent of known mineralized zones. The data is derived from
exploration conducted at the Pedra Branca PGE project, Ceara State,
Brazil, including:
- 54,000 m of
drilling data in 580 diamond / RC holes;
- 42,000
geochemical samples, including soils, rocks, trenching and Trado
(auger drilling);
- Geophysical
database, including magnetic and gamma surveys: regional airborne
(government); property-wide high-resolution airborne (>650km²)
and ground geophysical surveys (>300km²);
- WorldView-3
satellite data, with imagery and spectral data covering all VO
claims (51,096 ha);
Brazil is one of the few countries in the world
currently supporting the mineral exploration and mining sectors
through tangible action in the permitting process. The following

AI-Driven Exploration and Real-Time
Insight
VRIFY’s AI mineral targeting software uses a
combination of architectures to train predictive models with data
from a wide variety of exploration features. The approach leverages
complex data relationships to predict mineral exploration targets,
streamlining the process of identifying viable mineral systems. The
automation of target generation will allow the trained model to be
updated quickly with new data from ongoing exploration work.
The available learning data points are separated
between training and validation sets to train and test the
algorithm. This allows VRIFY to evaluate the performance metrics
associated with predictive modelling. Together with a stochastic
approach in modelling, the results can be evaluated, and an
uncertainty factor can be associated with each of the AI-defined
targets.

About ValOre Metals Corp.
ValOre Metals Corp.
(TSX‐V: VO) is a
Canadian company with a team aiming to deploy capital and knowledge
on projects which benefit from substantial prior investment by
previous owners, existence of high-value mineralization on a large
scale, and the possibility of adding tangible value through
exploration and innovation.
ValOre’s Pedra Branca Platinum Group Elements
Project comprises 45 exploration licenses covering a total area of
51,096 hectares (126,260 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. ValOre’s team believes the Pedra
Branca project has significant exploration discovery and resource
expansion potential. (CLICK HERE to download 2022 technical report*

*The 2022 Technical Report is entitled
“Independent Technical Report –Mineral Resource Update on the Pedra
Branca PGE Project, Ceará State, Brazil” was prepared as a National
Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on behalf of ValOre Metals Corp.
with an effective date of March 08, 2022. The 2022 Technical Report
by Independent qualified persons, Fábio Valério (P.Geo.) and
Porfirio Cabaleiro (P.Eng.), of GE21, commissioned to complete the
mineral resource estimate while Chris Kaye of Mine and Quarry
Engineering Services Inc. (MQes), was commissioned to review the
metallurgical information. The Mineral Resource estimates were
prepared in accordance with the CIM Standards, and the CIM
Guidelines, using geostatistical, plus economic and mining
parameters appropriate to the deposit. Mineral Resources, which are
not mineral reserves, do not have demonstrated economic viability,
and may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal,
marketing, and other relevant issues. Mineral Resources are based
upon a cut-off grade of 0.4 g/t PGE+Au, correlated to Pd_eq grade
of 0.35 g/t, and were limited by an economic pit built in Geovia
Whittle 4.3 software and following the geometric and economic
parameters as disclosed in the 2022 NI 43-101 Technical Report.
