To the Stakeholders of ValOre Metals Corp.
2019 has been transformative for ValOre Metals Corp. (TSX-V: VO). We have successfully restructured the Company and recently bolstered our high value resource holdings with the addition of an exciting platinum group metals property, Pedra Branca, in Brazil, alongside our existing Angilak and Genesis/Hatchet uranium and Baffin gold projects (all in Canada).
On January 15, 2019, ValOre completed a rights offering raising C$2.45M, which gave shareholders the opportunity to finance the Company as we pivoted to take advantage of our group’s ability to raise capital and execute accretive transactions in a challenging financing environment for the global mining sector.
As you may already be aware, ValOre is a proud member of Discovery Group, which was founded by John Robins in 2005, and then successfully relaunched and rebranded by John and I in 2016. Being a part of this unique group with such recent major successes as Kaminak (Yukon gold project acquired by Goldcorp for $520M), Northern Empire (Nevada gold project acquired for Coeur Mining for $117M), and Great Bear (gold discovery in Red Lake with a current market cap in excess of $375M) gives ValOre incredible access to first class professionals, high quality deal flow, and capital to finance our activities.
On August 14, ValOre announced the closing of a transaction to acquire 100% ownership of the Pedra Branca PGM District in north-eastern Brazil. The landholdings total 38,940 hectares and host five distinct PGM+Au (Ni+Cu+Co+Cr) deposit areas. Along with the acquisition, ValOre filed an independent NI 43-101 inferred resource estimate of showing that Pedra Branca hosts 1,067,000 ounces PGM+Au in 27.2 million tonnes grading 1.22 grams PGM+Au per tonne. Mineralization outcrops at surface, making all of the inferred resources legitimate open pit targets, and excellent opportunities exist for resource expansion and conversion at all five deposits.
Pedra Branca has seen over US$35M of historic exploration expenditures by Anglo American Platinum and other companies, including over 30,000 m of drilling, extensive geochemistry and geological mapping, and high-quality airborne and ground geophysics.
Our efforts to leverage this tremendous database have already begun and our excitement around the potential of the project grows by the day. By the end of January 2020, we’ll announce an initial exploration program for 2020 with the benefit of the knowledge from the activities currently underway or recently completed:
• WorldView: acquisition of enhanced and modeled digital satellite imagery from the highest resolution commercial satellite in the world, focused on supporting exploration fieldwork with alteration mineral modeling and high-spatial resolution true-color imagery for the project area.
• Geophysics: re-processing the district-scale, detailed (50 m line-spacing) 2013 aeromag survey collected by Anglo by means of a 3D magnetic-susceptibility model to help define the geometry, dip and approximate the thickness of the target ultramafic intrusions.
• HIVE: consultancy performing a full drillhole database verification program and supporting ValOre in the development and refinement of an accurate, organized and synthesized exploration database.
• Data compilation: upon completion of the above-mentioned database verification and organization, authenticated historical data will be synchronized with newly acquired exploration data to facilitate and accelerate the path to discovery and resource expansion.
This area of Brazil is an exploration- and mining-friendly jurisdiction, and the project is supported by the local and state governments. One of ValOre’s newest directors, Brazilian resident Luis Azevedo, has already played a key role in connecting us with the people and groups we will need to successfully advance the project, and was recently named Vice President of the newly formed Mining Council of the National Confederation of Industry (“CNI”) in Brazil. Access is excellent year-round via two paved highways from Fortaleza (a coastal city with a port and over 3 million people), and infrastructure is in place, including electricity, water, housing, office space, core storage and logging facilities, telephone and internet.
The exploration potential of the Pedra Branca Project from both a resource expansion and greenfields perspective is highly compelling, with numerous property-wide surface to near-surface PGM targets. This acquisition meets ValOre’s criteria in three key areas: high-value metal mineralization on a large scale; substantial project investments by previous operators; and obvious exploration strategies and process improvements which can be implemented by ValOre to add significant value to the project.
ValOre’s technical team has made tremendous progress in organizing, reviewing, and understanding the literal ‘treasure trove’ of data generated at Pedra Branca by previous exploration groups. In the case of our newest target “C04”, we have an exploration methodology that works efficiently and effectively in the target-rich environment which hosts a ‘discovery pipeline’ with the potential to add significant value for our shareholders.
As reported in our press release on December 4, 2019, four grab samples collected in October were submitted to SGS Canada for analysis, and all returned compelling PGM plus gold results of up to 7.945 grams per tonne. Assay results for all submitted samples are summarized in the accompanying table.

Assay results for the final three of five holes drilled at the Trapia 1 target are reported herein.
Highlights from ValOre’s Initial Drilling at Trapia 1:
• Drill hole DD20TU13
o Successfully expands Trapia 1 mineralization with 140 metre step-out along strike to the south
o 9.49 g/t 2PGE+Au (Palladium, Platinum and Gold; Pd, Pt+Au) over 2.45 metres (m) within a broad mineralized ultramafic (“UM”) unit 0.76 g/t 2PGE+Au over 61.85 m from 217.50 m downhole;
• Drill hole DD20TU14
o Extends the down-dip mineralization at Trapia 1 in the northern portion of the resource area, and shows a thickening of the mineralized body at depth;
o 1.27 g/t 2PGE+Au over 5.00 m, within a broader interval of 0.60 g/t 2PGE+Au over 21.55 m from 118.80 m downhole;
• Initial drill results indicate that the large 3D magnetic inversion target extending approximately 1 kilometre from the Trapia 1 resource represents an intact and mineralized intrusion;
• Mineralization remains open in all directions, with multiple drill holes planned for immediate follow-up;
• Trapia 1 orebody has been shown to be thickening with depth across the entire width of the resource, and remains thick (61.85 m) in newly drilled areas south of the resource
ValOre’s Chairman and CEO, Jim Paterson, stated: “Our Phase 1 drilling has successfully identified near surface mineralization in the southern portion of the current Trapia 1 resource area; extended and thickened the easterly down-dip mineralization across the full width of the resource; and proven that the mineralized ultramafic intrusion remains intact and open to expansion along a 1 kilometre geophysical target to the south. We plan to return to Trapia 1 near the end of Phase 1 due to the considerable resource expansion potential.”

CEO Letter - 2021 Focus Building on 2020 Success
Vancouver, B.C. ValOre Metals Corp. (“ValOre”; the “Company”; TSX‐V: VO; OTC: KVLQF; FRANKFURT: KEQ0) today summarized 2021 goals which aim to build on the 2020 accomplishments at ValOre’s 100%-owned Pedra Branca Platinum Group Element (“PGE”) Project in northeastern Brazil.
2021 Focus
ValOre issued over 20 news releases documenting accomplishments in calendar 2020, and we expect to report a greater number in 2021 as the Company generates more material corporate and project related news. Subject to final board approval, receipt of any required permits and financing, the ValOre team will be busy building upon a solid year of performance in 2020 as we seek to rapidly advance Pedra Branca. Details will follow in the form of specific activity related news releases, including the following areas of focus:
• Resource expansion and discovery drilling in specific zones, including Trapia and Santo Amaro;
• Resource delineation drilling in specific zones, including Esbarro and Curiu;
• Target advancement drilling at Cana Brava and the recent C-04 ValOre drilling discovery;
• New discovery target generation and drilling at untested sites over the property;
• Building on highly encouraging initial results from work related to mineralogy, mineral processing and metallurgy, we will focus on determining the safest, highest margin and most productive project development strategy.
Team Built
In 2020, we added considerable depth and technical talent to the ValOre team (June 18 and Sept 21 news releases). I am honoured to work with such a conscientious group of incredibly hard working and competent professionals in Brazil, Canada, USA and UK. The benefit to shareholders of having some of our industry’s brightest minds focused on adding value through exploration and discovery, while relentlessly interrogating the data to de-risk and advance Pedra Branca, cannot not be overstated. Our path forward is very exciting!
Community Engagement
We strive to have a positive impact on the communities surrounding Pedra Branca, and in particular, the wonderful people of Capitão Mor. We take our responsibilities to the communities seriously and some of this initial commitment included supporting the local medical clinic with donations of supplies in what was a particularly testing year for everyone. As the project activity level scales up, our ability to be a positive element in the community also increases.
Exploration Success
In 2020, ValOre’s team successfully advanced the Pedra Branca PGE project on multiple fronts. We executed on budget a 6,314 metre drill program comprised of resource expansion (4,999 metres in 32 holes), target advancement (565 metres in 8 holes) and discovery drilling (750 metres in 8 holes). Samples from 44 drill holes were sent for assays, with results still pending from 8 holes drilled at Santo Amaro.
A highlight from resource expansion drilling at Trapia 1 was hole DD20TU20 which intersected 76.74 metres of 1.25 g/t 2PGE+Au, including 15.00 m of 4.19 g/t 2PGE+Au, 0.63% Ni and 0.25% Cu (Dec 1 release).
A highlight from discovery drilling activities was 2PGE+Au mineralization encountered in all three drill holes (Oct 27 release) at the previously undrilled C-04 target. These results are significant, as they validate ValOre's exploration methodology (Dec 4 2019 release) and I believe this successful methodology will have a positive impact on the results of future exploration programs project-wide.
We received encouraging assay results and reports from targeted exploration programs across our property, including mapping, prospecting (245 rock samples), trenching, rhodium values from resampling of historical drill core (Mar 12 and Nov 19 releases) and soil sampling (2,845 samples).
Project Advancement
Our work related to mineralogy, processing and metallurgy has provided positive initial results which gives us the encouragement and impetus to commence additional testing. For a synopsis of the related 2020 releases, please click this video link HERE. Highlights include:
• Platsol™ metallurgical test recoveries of 93.4 to 93.6%for palladium (Pd) and 95.3 to 95.7%for platinum (Pt);
• Hot cyanide metallurgical test recoveries of 84.4%, 88.5%and 91.7% palladium;
• Falcon UF gravity test work effectively concentrates platinum with 82.6% Pt recovered in 32.1% of the mass.
In looking ahead to what promises to be a productive and successful year, I would like to thank our shareholders, team members, service providers and the people in the communities surrounding Pedra Branca for their support in 2020. We wish you all health, happiness and prosperity in 2021. Let’s get after it!

Vancouver, B.C. ValOre Metals Corp. (“ValOre”; the “Company”; TSX‐V: VO; OTC: KVLQF; FRANKFURT: KEQ0) today summarized 2021 goals which aim to build on the 2020 accomplishments at ValOre’s 100%-owned Pedra Branca Platinum Group Element (“PGE”) Project in northeastern Brazil.
2021 Focus
ValOre issued over 20 news releases documenting accomplishments in calendar 2020, and we expect to report a greater number in 2021 as the Company generates more material corporate and project related news. Subject to final board approval, receipt of any required permits and financing, the ValOre team will be busy building upon a solid year of performance in 2020 as we seek to rapidly advance Pedra Branca. Details will follow in the form of specific activity related news releases, including the following areas of focus:
• Resource expansion and discovery drilling in specific zones, including Trapia and Santo Amaro;
• Resource delineation drilling in specific zones, including Esbarro and Curiu;
• Target advancement drilling at Cana Brava and the recent C-04 ValOre drilling discovery;
• New discovery target generation and drilling at untested sites over the property;
• Building on highly encouraging initial results from work related to mineralogy, mineral processing and metallurgy, we will focus on determining the safest, highest margin and most productive project development strategy.
Team Built
In 2020, we added considerable depth and technical talent to the ValOre team (June 18 and Sept 21 news releases). I am honoured to work with such a conscientious group of incredibly hard working and competent professionals in Brazil, Canada, USA and UK. The benefit to shareholders of having some of our industry’s brightest minds focused on adding value through exploration and discovery, while relentlessly interrogating the data to de-risk and advance Pedra Branca, cannot not be overstated. Our path forward is very exciting!
Community Engagement
We strive to have a positive impact on the communities surrounding Pedra Branca, and in particular, the wonderful people of Capitão Mor. We take our responsibilities to the communities seriously and some of this initial commitment included supporting the local medical clinic with donations of supplies in what was a particularly testing year for everyone. As the project activity level scales up, our ability to be a positive element in the community also increases.
Exploration Success
In 2020, ValOre’s team successfully advanced the Pedra Branca PGE project on multiple fronts. We executed on budget a 6,314 metre drill program comprised of resource expansion (4,999 metres in 32 holes), target advancement (565 metres in 8 holes) and discovery drilling (750 metres in 8 holes). Samples from 44 drill holes were sent for assays, with results still pending from 8 holes drilled at Santo Amaro.
A highlight from resource expansion drilling at Trapia 1 was hole DD20TU20 which intersected 76.74 metres of 1.25 g/t 2PGE+Au, including 15.00 m of 4.19 g/t 2PGE+Au, 0.63% Ni and 0.25% Cu (Dec 1 release).
A highlight from discovery drilling activities was 2PGE+Au mineralization encountered in all three drill holes (Oct 27 release) at the previously undrilled C-04 target. These results are significant, as they validate ValOre's exploration methodology (Dec 4 2019 release) and I believe this successful methodology will have a positive impact on the results of future exploration programs project-wide.
We received encouraging assay results and reports from targeted exploration programs across our property, including mapping, prospecting (245 rock samples), trenching, rhodium values from resampling of historical drill core (Mar 12 and Nov 19 releases) and soil sampling (2,845 samples).

Re: ValOre Metals corp
Re-assaying of historical drill core for STEINERT from the Esbarro PGE deposit returned the highest-grade drill core sample in the history of the project from a 5-centimetre (“cm”) sample of NQ drill core at 30.35 metres (“m”) depth in drill hole DD18ES15A:
176.52 grams per tonne (“g/t”) palladium + platinum + gold (“2PGE+Au”)
Comprising 133.35 g/t Pd, 42.24 g/t Pt, and 0.93 g/t Au
Also returned 3.30 g/t rhodium (“Rh”), or 179.82 g/t 3PGE+Au;
133 g palladium : dat is meer dan 4 oz aan 2270$/oz dus meer dan 9000$ aan palladium
42 g Platina : da is meer dan 1.3 oz platina aan 1098 $/oz dus meer dan 1400$ aan platina
0.93 g goud dat is 0.03 oz aan 1850/oz dus dat is 50$ aan goud
dus in totaal meer dan 10400 $
en als kers nog 3.3 g rodium aan 18000 $/oz!! geeft nog eens 1800$
dus somtotaal is meer dan 12000$ waarde per ton!!!
