HybridWHAT DOES HYBRID MEAN?In common with other junior exploration companies, Vior certainly invests judiciously in its own projects. But we also look to Option or Joint Venture certain projects where appropriate. And Vior also has the ability to make a strategic investment in a private company that has great projects and proven management.

WHAT’S THE HYBRID ADVANTAGE?We have the capability to provide the appropriate amountof financing for our own projects that we wish to advance. But we are also able to make strategic investments in areas of opportunity and partner with others where project risk-sharing is preferred, which both looks to create shareholder value and diversify our overall corporate risk.

Show MeThe Money

$4.7 MVior has a significant equity or ownership interest in 8 mining projects that will be actively explored or drilled in 2020. This level of activity with over $4.7 M in planned exploration expenditures, $4.2 M of which is partners’ money, should generate a considerable amount of news flow throughout the year!

Golden Opportunitiesin Nevada

Nevada ranked 3rd in 2019 for most appealing mining jurisdiction in the world1

In 2018, the U.S. was the 4th largest gold producing nation in the world; 83% of which came from Nevada2

Nevada’s gold production of 5.58 million ounces accounted for 5.6% of total world mine output3

BACKGROUND• Ridgeline Minerals Corp. is a private, Nevada-based exploration

company backed by a team of geologists with a successful discovery track record of Carlin-type deposits in Nevada.

• Upon completion of the planned Summer 2020 IPO, Ridgeline should have over $5 million (CAD) in funds available for exploration.

• Vior has acquired a 9.9% equity interest in Ridgeline Minerals Corp. through 2 initial private seed rounds of financing.

GEOLOGY• Ridgeline has amassed a 115+ km2 (25,000+ acres)exploration portfolio

including three key projects: Carlin-East, Swift and Selena.

NEXT STEPS• 2020 drilling will look to test high priority targets at all three projects.

GEOLOGY• Within the prolific Rye Patch and Humboldt trends.

• On trend with the Florida Canyon and Standard open pit, heap leach gold mines with over 2.3 M oz of gold produced to date.

• Host to disseminated and sediment hosted gold mineralization.

• Presence of extensive jasperoid zones associated with gold mineralization in the Natchez Pass limestone.

• Recent soil and MMI (Mobile Metal Ions) results outline clustered anomalies in gold and its associated pathfinders (arsenic, antimony, silver).

NEXT STEPS• Will complete a follow-up MMI sampling round and ground gravity

survey to better pinpoint optimal drill targets.

• Upon completion of these, Tonya will be the focus of a small initial targeted drill program in late 2020.

• Potential for discovery of a large shallow Au oxide deposit.

There’s Money In Rutile (TITANIUM) As Well

US$ 1,100+/tRUTILE WHAT?• Rutile is as mineral composed mainly of titanium dioxide (TiO2).

• Titanium is a metal that has the highest strength-to-density ratio of any metal so far discovered along with high corrosion resistance. It is very valuable and has a host of uses, from aerospace construction to medical devices and sports equipment (not to mention paint pigments, which make up 65% of worldwide sales).

RUTILE PRICES AVERAGED WELL OVER US$ 1,100/T* IN 2019. • The market is growing rapidly and new discoveries are getting rare.
