 today provided an update on the ongoing exploration program for the Salvador target (“Salvador”) at ValOre’s 100%-owned Pedra Branca Platinum Group Elements (“PGE”, “2PGE+Au”) Project (“Pedra Branca”) in northeastern Brazil.

“Our ongoing exploration program at the Salvador target has yielded encouraging results, with initial Trado® and rock assays, trenching and field mapping all confirming in-situ PGE mineralization and extending the prospective Salvador PGE trend to 2 km in strike length,” stated ValOre’s VP of Exploration, Thiago Diniz. “Additionally, preliminary ground geophysical data shows consistent magnetic anomalies along strike, which increases our confidence that this program will set the stage for future discoveries and resource expansion drill programs at Salvador.”

2024 Salvador Exploration Program Highlights

Salvador field exploration program is in progress, with Trado® auger drilling, rock sampling and trenching confirming continuity of PGE-bearing ultramafic (“UM”) rocks along trend to the north of the 2023 drill zone:

• PGE mineralization reported in 15 of 20 UM-bearing Trado® holes;
• High-grade PGE assay results reported from outcropping chromitite:
  • 11.17 grams per tonne palladium + platinum + gold (“g/t 2PGE+Au”) – Sample 103792;
• Trench mapping and sampling is completed, with 108 samples sent for assay analysis;
• Ground geophysical survey field work is completed, interpretation ongoing;
• Additional field mapping, rock sampling, and Trado® auger drilling following up on new ultramafic occurrences and preliminary magnetic anomalies in the north extension of the target area continues;
• Current results and new UM occurrences extend Salvador’s PGE-prospective trend to a total of 2 km in strike-length;

See Figure 1 for a plan view of the Salvador target, and location of the 2024 exploration work; and Table 1 for a summary of the exploration totals for Trado® and trenching programs.

Trado® auger drilling

Trado® auger drilling has intercepted ultramafic rocks in 25 of 35 Trado® auger drill holes completed to date (77 m of 101 m drilled in total).

Trado® assay results have been received for 20 UM-bearing Trado holes, with PGE mineralization reported in 15 Trado® holes.

Trenching

Four trenches were excavated, totalling 95 metres (“m”) in length, with all four exposing UM and UM-derived rocks, including chromitite layers in the central trenches, TR24MES06 and TR24MES07, to the north along strike from the area of 2023 Salvador drill program. Trench assays are pending.

See Figure 2 for trenching program photos, including chromitite and chromite-rich rocks intercepted in trenches TR24MES06 and 07.

Ground geophysical survey

50-line kilometres (“km”) of ground magnetics and gamma spectrometry data have been acquired, covering the entire strike-length of the Salvador target and its extensions.

A 3D inversion modeling and structural interpretation is in progress.

Field mapping and rock sampling

To date, 25 rock samples have been sent to SGS lab, with assay results received for 6 samples, including high-grade PGE mineralization in two chromitite occurrences located near the 2024 trench TR24MES08, and remaining 4 samples with anomalous PGE grades; Highlights:

• 11.17 g/t 2PGE+Au – Chromitite outcrop, sample 103792;
• 6.24 g/t 2PGE+Au – Chromitite grab sample 103795.

*The 2022 Technical Report is entitled “Independent Technical Report –Mineral Resource Update on the Pedra Branca PGE Project, Ceará State, Brazil” was prepared as a National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on behalf of ValOre Metals Corp. with an effective date of March 08, 2022. The 2022 Technical Report by Independent qualified persons, Fábio Valério (P.Geo.) and Porfirio Cabaleiro (P.Eng.), of GE21, commissioned to complete the mineral resource estimate while Chris Kaye of Mine and Quarry Engineering Services Inc. (MQes), was commissioned to review the metallurgical information. The Mineral Resource estimates were prepared in accordance with the CIM Standards, and the CIM Guidelines, using geostatistical, plus economic and mining parameters appropriate to the deposit. Mineral Resources, which are not mineral reserves, do not have demonstrated economic viability, and may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, marketing, and other relevant issues. Mineral Resources are based upon a cut-off grade of 0.4 g/t PGE+Au, correlated to Pd_eq grade of 0.35 g/t, and were limited by an economic pit built in Geovia Whittle 4.3 software and following the geometric and economic parameters as disclosed in the 2022 NI 43-101 Technical Report,
