Vancouver, British Columbia, July 17^th, 2024 - ValOre Metals Corp. (“ValOre”; TSX‐V: VO; OTCQB: KVLQF; Frankfurt: KEQ0, “the Company”) today announced the recommencement of exploration work in the Salvador Target (“Salvador”) area at ValOre’s 100%-owned Pedra Branca Platinum Group Elements (“PGE”, “2PGE+Au”) Project (“Pedra Branca”) in northeastern Brazil.

“Recent drilling at our Salvador discovery confirms consistent, near-surface, high-grade PGE mineralization that has very clear upside potential for additional extension along strike, as well as at depth,” stated Thiago Diniz, V.P. Exploration, ValOre Metals Corp. “Our Trado^® and trenching exploration programs will rapidly and cost-effectively test an additional 600 metres of the underexplored Salvador trend. Salvador exhibits scale potential and has the PGE grades to establish one of the largest single resources at Pedra Branca property,” added Mr. Diniz.”

July and August 2024 Salvador Exploration

• Trado^® auger drilling commenced July 15, and is testing a 600 m PGE-mineralized trend located north of the area drill-tested in 2023 (see News Release dated November 7^th and December 11^th, 2023) which defines the extension of PGE mineralization along strike to the north of the Salvador discovery;
• Trado^® drilling comprises 100 metres (“m”) in 20 auger drill holes and is expected to be finished by the end of July;
• 200 m of trenches are planned for Salvador in August to follow-up on Trado^® drill results.

2023 Salvador Discovery Highlights

The 2023 diamond drill program at Salvador tested 400 m of a 1.5-kilometre (km) trend of ultramafic mineralization at surface. Drilling intersected PGE mineralization in 7 of 8 drill holes, each demonstrating significant thickness and continuity at depth; see Figure 1 and Table 1 below. Salvador is a high-priority target that remains open along strike and at depth and warrants additional follow-up core drilling in future programs.

*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,
