ASX Release 18 August 2017 VALOR RESOURCES LIMITED ACN 076 390 451 22 Lindsay Street PERTH, WA Australia Tel: +61 8 9200 3467 Fax: +61 8 9227 6390 Contact: Mr Mark Sumner E-mail: info@valorresources.com.au Directors Mr Mark Sumner Mr Brian McMaster Ms Paula Cowan Company Secretary Ms Kelly Moore Ms Paula Cowan ASX Code: VAL | DRILLING IDENTIFIES HIGH GRADE COPPER AND SILVER INTERCEPTS Valor Resources Limited ("VAL" or the "Company", ASX: VAL) is pleased to report the first assay results from the drilling program at the Berenguela Copper-Silver Project in Southern Peru. Highlights
Overview Drilling has confirmed the mineralisation within the Inferred Resource shell, as well as an extension of the Copper (Cu) and Silver (Ag) Resources previously reported, leading to the potential for an expansion of the current Resource estimates. The results confirm that the deposit remains open to the North, with the 15 holes reported in this release confirming mineralisation outside the current Resource shell. Drilling has also confirmed consistent Zinc (Zn) and Manganese (Mn) mineralisation across the deposit. Key Drilling Intercepts (refer to Tables 1 and 2 for complete drilling results): BEP6 - BER225: 63 m @ 1.08% Cu + 40.84 g/t Ag + 7.25% Mn + 0.66% Zn (from 5 m). 1.57% CuEq, including: 10 m @ 2.13 % Cu + 71.9 g/t Ag + + 5.70 % Mn + 0.506 Zn (from 12m); BEP7 - BER227: 57 m @ 0.96% Cu + 151.1 g/t Ag + 7.15% Mn + 0.97% Zn (from 3m). 2.14%CuEq, including: 13m @ 1.34% Cu + 319 g/t Ag + 15.5% Mn + 1.20% Zn (from 3m); |

Management CommentaryCommenting on the first set of drill results, Valor Chairman, Mark Sumner said: "The intercepts delivered here are excellent and these assay results reinforce that the Berenguela deposit holds considerable unlocked value. As well as the high-grade copper and silver mineralisation that we have encountered, the discovery of zinc and manganese mineralisation across the deposit is very encouraging and clearly adds further value to this ore body.
"As well, these results confirm significant mineralisation outside of the Inferred Resources shell and we anticipate this leading to an increase in total JORC Resource tonnage. Further drilling results will be reported shortly which we expect to be consistent with the assay results reported today."
Drilling Program OverviewThe drilling program commenced on 10 July 2017. The program includes 66 drill holes for a total of 9,570 meters, targeting depths between 100 and 200 meters focusing primarily on the Berenguela central deposit area, with select drill holes targeting mineralisation outside of the area current Inferred Resource shell. To date, 15 holes for a total of 2,120m have been completed. The drill holes are spaced on 35m x 35m grid and were performed from 5 platforms (BEP6, BEP7, BEP8, BEP2 & BEP023).

Figure 2 - Drilling at Platform 8 (BEP8) Outside Resource Shell Zinc MineralisationThe results illustrate consistent Zinc (Zn) mineralisation across the deposit.Several validation checks were carried out to certify noninterference of external agents, like contamination in the laboratory. Intervals with high grade Zn were detailed re-logged searching for macroscopic zinc minerals (Figure 3). A Quality Assurance
- Quality Control (QAQC) analysis was conducted to confirm mineralisation, which showed positive intervals. The Company's metallurgists were consulted regarding the potential for Zn recovery based on
historical metallurgical work in order to confirm Reasonable Prospects for Eventual Economic Extraction of Zn. Zn is common in silver-enriched base metal deposits in the northern half of Peru and its presence could indicate the potential for additional resources.The presence of Zn is currently under review for the purposes of adding Zn values to the Mineral Resource Estimate. The Company will update the market once the necessary work has been completed.
