VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA ("VMS" or the "Company") - In order to maximize shareholder value, the board of directors has decided to pursue a spin off of the Company's nickel assets. As proposed, the relevant properties would be transferred to a new company which would carry out an IPO and seek to list separately on the TSX Venture Exchange, with VMS as the largest shareholder of the new company.

The spin off is being proposed as it is felt that the Company's nickel assets are currently undervalued within the present structure and that having those assets in a separate well capitalized, well managed vehicle is a better way in which to develop the properties and realize a proper valuation of the assets for the benefit of VMS and its shareholders.

The Company is currently in discussions with various brokerage firms to act as the Company's agent in conducting the IPO and will provide further disclosure once the terms of the spin off are settled upon.
