PRELIMINARY ECONOMIC VALUATION

Vior hired SGS Geostat from Montreal to complete a NI 43-101 compliant Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Douay Ouest property, located 60 kilometres south of Matagami, province of Quebec. This new economic assessment should be completed by mid-November 2009 with the objective of validating a more optimal all-underground development scenario. The assessment will be based on a new resources estimate taking into account the new mining scenario.

Geostat's complete and 43-101 compliant report on current resources is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

The new underground development scenario will be evaluated and validated in order to maximise the use of important existing surface infrastructures, which consists of a head frame with a shaft collared in the bedrock, a main building that shelters offices, a garage and a 1,100-metre capacity hoist, an all-season gravel road and a power line with a station linked to Hydro-Quebec network. These infrastructures have been kept on care and maintenance since their installation by Aurizon Mines in 1997. Vior's management is confident that the preliminary economic assessment will be positive.
