ValOre Metals Corp. (“ValOre”;
TSX‐V: VO; OTCQB: KVLQF;
Frankfurt: KEQ0, “the Company”) today provided assay
results from Trado® auger and rock samples collected from the Boa
Vista target (“Boa Vista”) at ValOre’s 100%-owned Pedra Branca
Platinum Group Elements (“PGE”, “2PGE+Au”) Project (“Pedra Branca”)
in northeastern Brazil.
“The PGE mineralization reported today from the
Boa Vista target includes numerous high grade rock samples and the
best Trado® hole, on a gram / metre basis, ever drilled on the
Pedra Branca property,” stated ValOre’s VP of Exploration, Thiago
Diniz. “Boa Vista is located along the same geological trend as the
Synform target, which also returned high-grade PGE mineralization
in previous exploration programs. Follow up mapping and Trado®
drilling is planned as part of a broader exploration program,
utilizing the VRIFY AI tool, to be focused on potential targets
along the 20km-long Boa Vista-Synform trend.”
2024 Boa Vista Exploration Program
Highlights
Trado® Auger PGE Results
Trado® auger drilling has intercepted ultramafic
rocks in 4 of 8 Trado® auger drill holes completed to date (18 m of
26 m drilled in total). All 3 Trado® assays received to date
returned PGE mineralization, including:
- 5 metres
(“m”) grading 6.58 grams per tonne palladium + platinum + gold
(“g/t 2PGE+Au”) from surface, incl. 2 m grading 11.96 g/t
2PGE+Au from 1 m – Trado® hole AD24BV05;

Boa Vista Target
The Boa Vista target lies within the
southeastern limb of the Troia unit, which represents one of the
most underexplored areas of the 51,096 ha Pedra Branca PGE
property. This trend also hosts the Synform target, located
approximately 20 km from Boa Vista. ValOre’s previous Trado® auger
and rock assay programs at Synform defined high-grade PGE
mineralization, including rock assay results of up to 15
g/t 2PGE+Au and Trado assays of up to 10m grading
2.30 g/t 2PGE+Au, incl. 2 m grading 9.47 g/t
2PGE+Au (see News Release dated March 23, 2023).
At Boa Vista, ValOre conducted geological
reconnaissance, prospecting and initial Trado® drilling around the
historical rock sample 82701, which yielded a 15.02 g/t 2PGE+Au,
with results reported herein extending known PGE mineralization to
approximately 100 m in strike-length. Detailed geological mapping
and Trado® drilling are planned to further investigate these
high-grade results.

Vista (reported herein) and Synform (reported March 23, 2023).

1Trado assay interval lengths are estimated to
represent 90-100% of true width. Trado® end of hole (“EOH”) depths
typically represent that the auger has entered impenetrable
unweathered bedrock, so mineralization and ultramafic rocks (“UM”)
present at EOH remain open at depth and require follow-up diamond
or RC drilling.

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,
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
