SOCIETE D'EXPLORATION MINIERE VIOR INC. (TSX VENTURE:VIO)(FRANKFURT:VL5) - is
pleased to announce that two drilling programs have simultaneously begun on the
Beauchastel and Douay properties, located in the Abitibi region of Quebec.


Drilling on the Beauchastel Property

A 1,200 to 1,500-metre diamond drilling program has started last week on the
Company's wholly-owned Beauchastel property located about 15 kilometres WNW of
Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec. This program is following up on gold intercepts
encountered during a 3-short-hole program completed in 1998 by the Company,
where hole BC 98-02 cut 1.08 g/T gold over 19.5 m, including 4.38 g/T gold over
3.0 m, and another intercept of 6.72 g/T gold over 3.0 m. Hole BC 98-03, located
75 metres to the west, has cut an intercept of 0.91 g/T gold over 19.5 m,
including 1.44 g/T gold over 9.0 m. These cuts are found less than 50 metres
below surface.


The Property comprises 22 contiguous claims straddling the Beauchastel and
Duprat township boundary for a surface area of 800 hectares underlain by
volcanic rocks of the Blake River Group. The gold mineralization at Beauchastel
appears to be associated with fine-grained pyrite and a feldspathic alteration
halo oriented along NE structures parallel to the Quesabe Fault. The current
drilling program is aiming at defining the geometry and the possible extensions
of the known gold mineralization.


Multi-Target Drilling at Douay

As announced recently, the Company and its partner Aurvista Gold Corp. wish to
confirm that they have started on November 16, 2010, a 12,000-metre
diamond-drilling program on several targets of the Douay project. The program is
aiming at testing numerous targets, one of which being the lateral and depth
extensions of the Douay Ouest deposit where recent calculations yielded a
Measured and Indicated Resource of 313,000 tonnes at 7.75 g/T gold, and an
additional Inferred Resource of 267,000 tonnes at 8.53 g/T gold (press release
of January 28th, 2010). Other drill holes within the Douay Ouest deposit will
have the goal of shifting categories from resources into reserves. The current
drilling program will also be testing near-surface mineralized extensions of the
Porphyre Zone, as well as the unexplored sectors along the Contact Zone located
at the interface between conglomerates and syenitic intrusions. The program
should be ongoing until ice break-up in spring 2011. 


Assay results from both drilling programs will be released on a regular basis as
they become available. Work will be supervised by Mr. Marc L'Heureux who is the
Company's Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101.
