ValOre Expands Pedra Branca Inferred Mineral Resource by 106% to 2.2 Million Ounces at 1.08 g/t 2PGE+Au

VANCOUVER, March 24, 2022 - ValOre Metals Corp. ("ValOre"; TSX‐V: VO; OTC: KVLQF; Frankfurt: KEQ0, "the Company") today reported an updated independent National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") inferred mineral resource estimate for ValOre's 100%-owned Pedra Branca Platinum Group Elements ("PGE", "2PGE+Au") Project ("Pedra Branca") in northeastern Brazil.

ValOre's CEO, Jim Paterson stated, "We are very pleased to announce the doubling of ValOre's Pedra Branca inferred mineral resource estimate, which was expanded to 2.2 million ounces of palladium, platinum, and gold at 1.08 g/t 2PGE+Au. Several of the zones which form part of the resource estimate remain wide open for expansion in future drill programs.

ValOre's technical team has demonstrated their ability to expand known resource zones and to convert exploration targets into resource ounces in a very cost effective manner. We spent $6.1M CAD on exploration, administration and development at Pedra Branca since the 2019 acquisition and resource estimate, which equates to under CAD$6 per ounce of 2PGE+Au added to the resource inventory.

With the initial metallurgical results recently reported, today's announcement on the resource expansion, and a discovery pipeline of exploration targets laid out property-wide, we very excited about the future potential of ValOre's Pedra Branca Project."

Highlights of the 2022 NI 43-101 Pedra Branca Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate:

• 2,198 thousand ounces ("Koz") palladium + platinum + gold ("2PGE+Au") in 63.6 million tonnes ("Mt") grading 1.08 g/t 2PGE+Au;
• 106% increase to 2019 inferred mineral resource;
• $6.1M CAD spent on exploration and development since 2019 resource, equating to $5.40 per ounce 2PGE+Au added;
• 17,434 metres ("m") have been drilled since the 2019 resource, with approximately 11,500 m allocated to resource expansion;
• Extensive resource growth potential remains at Massap?, Santo Amaro, Trapia, and Cedro, in addition to advanced exploration targets property-wide;
• Regional exploration by Trado^? drilling continues to advance new prospects to RC or core drill targets.

2022 Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate

The updated Pedra Branca mineral resource estimate was completed by independent Brazilian consultancy GE21 Consultoria Mineral ("GE21"), in accordance with Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM") Definition Standards incorporated, by reference, in NI 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, and has been reviewed internally by ValOre. The 2022 resource estimate is the result of over 17,000 metres of new drilling between July 2020 and December 2021 and comprises 7 distinct deposit areas which host, in aggregate, an inferred resource of 2,198 Koz 2PGE+Au in 63.6 Mt grading 1.08 g/t 2PGE+Au (see Table 1 below). Mineralization outcrops at surface in all zones, and all the inferred resources are potentially open pittable.

The Pedra Branca inferred resource estimate has doubled in its palladium, platinum, and gold endowment since the 2019 NI 43-101 technical report (CLICK HERE ValOre news release dated July 23, 2019, for a summary of the 2019 inferred mineral resource estimate). Compelling growth potential remains at multiple deposit areas, including Massap?, Santo Amaro, Trapia, and Cedro.

The inferred mineral resource estimate for the Trapia deposit increased by a factor of over 4 times, and now represents the largest contributor to the global resource at 885 Koz 2PGE+Au grading 0.96 g/t in 28.8 Mt). The Cedro deposit inferred mineral resource estimate also tripled in size to 453 Koz 2PGE+Au grading 1.03 g/t in 13.6 Mt. Both the Trapia and Cedro deposits were the subject of 2020-2021 resource expansion drilling.

Massap? and Cana Brava represent two new zones added to the 2022 resource, accounting for 154 Koz ounces 2PGE+Au in 4.0 Mt at grades of 1.21 and 1.18 g/t 2PGE+Au, respectively. Massap? remains wide open along in all directions. CLICK HERE for news release dated December 20, 2021, for a summary of 2021 drilling at Massap?.

Table 1: 2022 Inferred Mineral Resource Summary Table - Effective Date: March 08, 2022

1. 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.
2. All figures have been rounded to the relative accuracy of the estimates. Summed amounts may not add due to rounding.
3. Mineral Resources are reported with effective date March 08, 2022.
4. Mineral Resources were classified as Inferred. An Inferred Mineral Resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to an Indicated Mineral Resource and must not be converted to a Mineral Reserve. It is reasonably expected that most of the Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration.
5. Mineral Resources, which are not mineral reserves, do not have demonstrated economic viability. The Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, marketing, and other relevant issues.
6. 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.
7. Mineral Resources were limited by an economic pit built in Geovia Whittle 4.3 software and following the geometric and economic parameters:
   • Pit slope angles: 55?;
   • Price: Pd=US$2000/oz, Pt=US$1000/oz and Au=US$1800/oz;
   • Costs: Mining costs=US$2.00/t; Milling=US$12.00/t; G&A=US$1.50/t.
   • Metallurgical Recoveries:
     • Weathered rock: 68% for Pd, 67% for Pt and 40% for Au;
     • Fresh rock: 71% for Pd, 82.9% for Pt and 85.2% for Au.
8. Blocks estimated by Ordinary Kriging at support of:
   • Trapia, Massap?, Esbarro: 40m x 40m x 4m with sub-block 5m x 5m x 2m;
   • Santo Amaro, Cedro, Cana Brava: 20m x20m x 4m with sub-block 5m x 5m x 2m;
   • Curiu: 10m x 10m x 4m with sub-block 5m x 5m x 2m.
9. PGE+Au grade = Pt g/t + Pd g/t + Au g/t.
