VIO Vior Inc

Vior Inc. ("Vior") (TSX VENTURE:VIO)(FRANKFURT:VL5) announces that is has signed
a letter of agreement with four vendors (the "Vendors") pursuant to which Vior
can acquire the Kennedy nickel-copper property located 30 kilometres north of
the town of La Tuque, Province of Quebec.


The Property

The Kennedy property comprises 10 mining claims totalling 579 hectares and is
adjacent or partly included in the Kennedy Lake property already 100% owned by
Vior.  The Kennedy Lake property comprises 104 claims covering 6022 hectares.
These properties are easily accessible by forest roads or all-terrain vehicles.


The Potential

From ground observations recently collected on the property, the nickel-copper
mineralization observed on the Kennedy showing is associated with a pyroxenite
intrusion similar to that observed on the Lac Edouard property, (best
mineralized intersection: 2% Ni et 0.5% Cu over 25.6 metres) located 35
kilometres to the east-southeast.


Chosen samples from the Kennedy Lake mineralized pyroxenite returned up to 0.8%
Ni and 0.3% Cu.  Drill hole F-4 (1972), returned 0.5% Ni and 0.3% Cu over 2.44
metres.


The Lake Kennedy mafic-ultramafic intrusion forms a differentiated sill covering
an area of one kilometre by 500 metres, with a west-northwest orientation.  This
sill consists of peridonite, pyroxenite and gabbroic rocks. The intrusion is
embedded in gneiss quartzofeldspathic and in migmatites. The pyrrhotite,
chalcopyrite and pyrite mineralization, contained in the pyroxenite, varies from
1% to 2% and reaches 10% at times.  Traces of mineralization can also be
observed within the gabbro.


The Agreement

Under the terms of the agreement, Vior has the option to acquire a 100% interest
in the   Kennedy property upon fulfilling the following conditions:


- The issuance of 250,000 common shares of Vior in favour of the Vendors at the
signature of the agreement; the optional issuance of 200,000 additional common
shares on the 18th month following the signature of the agreement and the final
optional issuance of 50,000 shares on the 24th and 36th month respectively
following the signature of the agreement.


- Exploration expenditures of $50,000 during the first 12 months of the
agreement and additional expenditures of $100,000 during the following 24 months
for a total amount of $150,000 over the 36 month period


- A 1% NSR royalty if the property is brought into commercial production. One
half of this royalty can be repurchased at any time for $1 million.


This agreement is subject to the approval of the regulatory authorities. The
common shares issued under the terms of this agreement are subject to a
four-month hold period after the signature of the agreement.
