*This statement has been translated by an automatic system.

Vancouver, British Columbia, 25 of September 2023 – ValOre Metals Corp. (“ValOre”; TSX V: VO; OTCQB: KVLQF; Frankfurt: KEQ0, “the Company”) today reported the results of the first trials of the recently completed 2023 phase. 1 core on the Pedra Branca Platinum Group Elements (“PGE”, “2PGE+Au”) (“Pedra Branca”) project, 100% owned by ValOre, in northeastern Brazil.

“Drilling results from DD23TU33 indicate a broad interval of high-grade mineralization intersected in a graded hole 150 meters south of the existing resource at Trapia 1, highlighting the potential for expansion of the resource. It is important to note that this broad intersection contains a high-sulfide PGE-Ni-Cu interval that could be located by geophysical methods. said Thiago Diniz, Director ValOre Metals Corp. Exploration “The Trapia 1 results have ramifications for other known areas of the Pedra Branca project, as they clearly demonstrate significant resource expansion potential at depth and from previous drilling.”

Reflexes

Trap 1

  • Test results have been received for the first of four wells drilled in 2024 in the Trapia 1 deposit (total 1,326 m);
    • 71.8 meters (“m”) at 1.59 grams per tonne of palladium + platinum + gold (“g/t 2PGE+Au”) 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 is associated with a sulfide-rich peridotite horizon at the bottom of the chromitite reef and is characterized by up to 5% disseminated brecciated pyrrhotite, pyrite, pentlandite and chalcopyrite (Figures 3). . and 4);
  • PGE mineralization intersected 150m outside the existing NI 43-101 2022 resource at Trapia 1 (480,000 oz total Trapia 2022 NI 43-101 resource of 885,000 oz at 0.96 g/t);
  • Pending analyzes for the remaining Trapia 1 wells, including DD23TU35 located upstream of DD23TU33; and DD23TU32, which represents an additional 150 m walk south along the strike and descent of DD23TU33.

2023 drilling program

  • 6,152 m drilled in 49 wells spread over 8 distinct exploration and resource zones (see ValOre press release of September 21, 2023);
  • 1,625 cores have been sent to the laboratory, with analyzes pending for 641 samples from 14 wells.
  • Recently received assay results also include near-surface PGE mineralization drilled at the Ipueiras target, including:
    • 11.85 m with 0.55 g/t 2PGE+On leveling from surface, incl. 0.9 m grading 1.58 g/t 2PGE+Au from 2.65 m in hole DD23IP04;
