Vior (TSX VENTURE:VIO) (FRANKFURT:VL5) announces today that it has begun a 2000
metre drilling program on its Buteux and Fecteau exploration projects located
125 kilometres southwest of Chibougamau, and 110 kilometres east of
Lebel-sur-Quevillon, Province of Quebec.


The first phase of the drilling program will target an area of chargeability
highlighted by an IP survey (Induced Polarization) carried over the property in
the fall of 2007. A new gold showing (Guylaine) that returned high gold values
ranging from 6.8 g/t Au to 26.7 g/t Au from chosen samples (See press release
dated October 25, 2007), coincides with this anomaly that runs for more than 400
metres in the southern part of the property. The drilling program will also test
the Desgagne showings that also returned high-grade gold values of 8 g/t Au to
85 g/t Au from chosen samples approximately 120 metres from the Guylaine showing
(See press release dated February 22, 2007).


The second phase of the program will verify the extension of the Lac Fecteau
zinc anomaly (FEC-98-01, 1.6% Zn over 5.6 metres) located in the northern
section of the property.


The Buteux and Fecteau projects are located in the Urban-Barry greenstone
segment, east of the Abitibi greenstone belt, approximately 20 kilometres east
of the Noront discovery announced in December 2006 (1,792.9 g/t Au over 4.8
metres). The Buteux and Fecteau properties are wholly-owned by Vior and comprise
154 claims covering more than 9,100 hectares. This very little explored area is
now easily accessed by forest roads and in our view has the potential for the
discovery of a major gold and/or base metal deposit.
