July 12 2019 - 11:18AM
SOCIÉTÉ D’EXPLORATION MINIÈRE VIOR INC.
("Vior"), (TSX-Venture: VIO, FRANKFURT:
VL51) – is pleased to announce that it has commenced the
Summer 2019 drill program at its Foothills rutile project located
near the town of Saint-Urbain, Quebec, a historic iron-titanium
mining camp located approximately 100 kilometers east of Quebec
City. The project covers approximately 320 km2 and is held by Vior.
Iluka Exploration (Canada) Ltd. (“Iluka”), a wholly owned
subsidiary of Iluka Resources Limited (ASX:ILU), one of the largest
producers of high-grade titanium dioxide products of rutile and
synthetic rutile, is fully funding all work for this exploration
and drill program.
Vior is undertaking exploration for large scale
hard rock rutile deposits on their 100% held claims. A
helicopter-supported diamond drilling program has begun and will
look to test 11 first priority airborne gravity and magnetic
targets associated with key geological anomalies mapped during
recent surface prospecting. The plan is to initially complete 16
holes totalling approximately 3,400 meters over the next 6 weeks.
Drill core will be logged on the site and analysed at the IOS
Services Géoscientifiques facilities in Saguenay, Quebec, over the
next 3 months.
