QUEBEC CITY, QUEBEC (FRANKFURT: VL5) has released results of the last three drill-holes completed on its Buteux-Fecteau property located south of Chibougamau-Chapais, Province of Quebec. This wide-grid drilling program followed-up on several IP (Induced Polarization) conductors and several showings, some of which were known previously and others which were discovered during field work carried on the property last fall.

Nine drill-holes for a total of 2080 metres were completed during this drilling campaign. Results of the first six drill-holes were previously reported in our Press Release dated April 22, 2008.

The last three drill-holes of this program, (814 metres) targeted the continuity and the eastern extension of an horizon suitable for the discovery of copper and zinc mineralization. This horizon was tested over 700 metres by trench-work and drilling. These last drill-holes confirmed the continuity of this horizon over more than 1000 metres laterally and to a depth of 185 metres. The semi-massive to massive sulphides vary from to 2 to 5 metres in thickness. The best intersection revealed 2.12% Zn over 0.5 metre and 0.48% Zn and 0.13% Cu over 3.3 metres in drill-hole BU-08-08. Drill-holes BU-08-07 and BU-08-09 returned 0.22% Cu over 2.1 metres and 0.18% Zn and 0.14 Cu over 1 metre respectively. Although values obtained are sub-economic, this drill-program nevertheless confirmed with precision the favourable stratigraphy and the high potential of the northern portion of the property for the discovery of a VMS orebody.

During the month of May, Vior began a ground geophysics survey on the north-eastern portion of the property and a VTEM helicopter-borne survey will also be conducted during the second quarter of the current year.
