VMS Vortex Metals Inc

VMS Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE: VMS) (the "Company") continues to expand its copper-rich Discovery Zone at Snow Lake. The mineralization has been identified in a total of 39 drill holes and has been intersected in the last 16 consecutive drill holes. The geometry and total strike length of the mineralized zone are currently unknown, however significant continuity is demonstrated by drill results.

Diamond Drill Highlights Include:

RD-08-61: 119.37m (391.62ft) of Near Solid Sulphide (NSS) and Sulphide Veinlets

RD-08-65: 108.27m (355.21ft) of NSS and Sulphide Veinlets

RD-08-58: 25.81m (84.68ft) of NSS

RD-08-59: 25.35m (83.17ft) of NSS and Sulphide Veinlets

(i) True thickness of mineralized interval is unknown

The current drill plan will develop a cross section of the mineralized zone by fanning two or three drill holes oriented perpendicular to the apparent strike of the zone from each collar location. The cross sections constructed to date indicate good vertical and lateral continuity and suggest the mineralization is open to depth. The dip appears to be sub-vertical with a northerly bias. The strike has an apparent azimuth of 260 degrees, slightly south of due west.

Concurrent with the drilling, borehole geophysical surveys are underway to identify anomalies that represent extensions of mineralization.

Analytical data from soil geochemical surveys undertaken in the Discovery Zone-Tower Zone areas have recently been received and interpretation is ongoing.

VMS Ventures Inc. is focused primarily on acquiring, exploring and developing copper-zinc properties in the Flin Flon-Snow Lake VMS Belt. The Company also holds the largest land package considered prospective for nickel-copper mineralization at Lynn Lake, which is to date Canada's third largest nickel producing camp. The Company's project portfolio consists of the Snow Lake VMS project, the Lynn Lake Gabbros nickel-copper project, the Nickel Belt project, the South Bay nickel-copper-cobalt PGE property, and the Eden Lake Carbonatite Complex, Specialty Metals property. All VMS Ventures Inc. properties are located in the mining friendly province of Manitoba, Canada.
