ValOre Drills High-Grade PGE and Nickel-Copper
Mineralization 150 m South of Trapia 1, Pedra Branca Project: 71.8

Vancouver, British Columbia, September
25th, 2023 - ValOre Metals Corp.
(“ValOre”; TSX‐V: VO; OTCQB:
KVLQF; Frankfurt: KEQ0, “the Company”) today reported
initial assay results from the recently completed 2023 Phase 1 core
drilling at ValOre’s 100%-owned Pedra Branca Platinum Group
Elements (“PGE”, “2PGE+Au”) Project (“Pedra Branca”) in
northeastern Brazil.
“Drill results from DD23TU33 indicate a broad
interval of high-grade mineralization intersected in a 150-metre
step out hole to the south of the existing resource at Trapia 1,
underscoring the resource expansion potential. Importantly, this
broad intersection contains a higher-sulphide, high-grade PGE-Ni-Cu
interval that may be amenable to targeting by geophysical methods,”
stated Thiago Diniz, Exploration Manager, ValOre Metals Corp.
“Trapia 1 results have ramifications at other known zones across
the Pedra Branca project, as they clearly demonstrate significant
resource expansion potential at depth and down dip of previous
drilling.”
Highlights
Trapia 1
- Assay results
received for the first of four holes drilled in 2023 at the Trapia
1 deposit (total 1,326 m);
- 71.8
metres (“m”) at 1.59 grams per tonne palladium + platinum + gold
(“g/t 2PGE+Au”) starting 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 occurs in
association with a sulfide-rich peridotitic horizon at the bottom
of the chromitite reef, and is characterized by up to 5%
disseminated to brecciated pyrrhotite, pyrite, pentlandite and
chalcopyrite (Figures 3 and 4);
- PGE
mineralization intercepted 150 m outside of the existing 2022 NI
43-101 resource at Trapia 1 (480,000 oz of the total Trapia 2022 NI
43-101 resource of 885,000 oz at 0.96 g/t);
- Assays pending
for the remaining Trapia 1 holes, including DD23TU35 located up-dip
of DD23TU33; and DD23TU32, representing an additional 150 m step
out to the south, along strike and down-plunge of DD23TU33.
2023 Drill Program
- 6,152 m drilled
in 49 holes distributed along 8 separate exploration and resource
zones (see ValOre news release of September 21, 2023);
- 1,625 core
samples sent to lab, with assays pending for 641 samples from 14
holes.
- Recently
received assays results also include near-surface PGE
mineralization drilled in the Ipueiras target, including:
- 11.85 m grading
0.55 g/t 2PGE+Au from surface, incl. 0.9 m grading 1.58 g/t 2PGE+Au
from 2.65 m in drill hole DD23IP04;
