Val-d'Or - Val-d'Or Mining Corporation ('Val-d'Or Mining' or the 'Company) (TSX-V: VZZ) provides a summary of the exploration programs completed in 2021, which include approximately $529,000 of internally-financed programs that were complemented by several partner-financed exploration programs.

For 2022, the Company intends to keep the internally-financed exploration activity at approximately the same level as in 2021, with an initial exploration budget of at least $400,000. The exploration activity on the partner-financed projects is expected to increase over the activity experienced in 2021, stemming from newly formed partnerships, such as the Eldorado Gold joint ventures and also due to the increase in results-driven exploration activity by the Company's existing partners. To date, the Company's partners have announced program budgets of more than $5 million for the 2022 exploration season, with the Quebec Nickel Corp. ('QNI') drill program at the Ducros Nickel-Copper PGE Prospects currently ongoing.

Summary of 2021 Exploration Programs

In 2021, Val-d'Or Mining completed four exploration campaigns covering a total of 17 prospects. The total amount spent on exploration activities was $529,000. Included in this amount are the four exploration programs (69% of the total) and general exploration on existing and new projects (31%). Viewed by principal areas of geological and geographical interest, the Company allocated 72% of total expenditures to exploration in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt (Quebec), 3% to the Quebec North (Nunavik), and 25% to the Abitibi Greenstone Belt (Ontario). Details are presented below.

In addition to the internally-financed exploration programs, the company was able to attract several option and joint venture partners. Those partners have committed to exploration programs that far exceed the internally-financed programs. During 2021, two of the Company's partners were particularly active: Juno Corp. worked on the Ring-of-Fire property, including the Company's Luc Bourdon NSR Prospect.

Quebec Nickel Corp. completed a $375,000 exploration program on the Company's Ducros Group of Properties NSR properties during 2021.

About Val-d'Or Mining Corporation

Val-d'Or Mining Corporation is a junior natural resource issuer involved in the process of acquiring and exploring its mineral property assets, most of which are situated in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt of NE Ontario and NW Quebec. To complement its current property interests, the Company regularly evaluates new opportunities for staking and/or acquisitions. Outside of its principal regional focus in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, the Company holds several other properties in Northern Quebec (Nunavik) covering different geological environments and commodities (Ni-Cu-PGE's).

The Company has an expertise in the identification and generation of new projects, and in the early stages of exploration. The mineral interests are broad and range from gold, copper-zinc-silver, nickel-copper-PGE to industrial and energy minerals. After the initial value creation in the 100%-owned, or majority-owned properties, the Company seeks option/joint venture partners with the technical expertise and financial capacity to conduct more advanced exploration projects.
