VMS Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE: VMS) (the "Company") is pleased to update shareholders on its Tower Zone drill planning, including initial results of the summer 2009 geochemistry program in and around the Reed Lake Discovery Zone.

In the final report on the Tower Zone, now received from Koop Geotechnical Services Inc., the targets announced September 18, 2009 are confirmed to be coincident or spatially associated with MagTilt anomalies. MagTilt anomalies enhance near surface magnetic features, such as geological units and structures within 200-300 metres of surface. These anomalies indicate the possibility that structures similar to the Reed Lake Discovery Zone shape can be found at the Tower Zone.

The geochemical survey sample data collected this summer at, and near, the Company's Reed Lake Discovery Zone, has now been received. The survey data is still undergoing review and final interpretation, but the samples covering the Tower Zone targets have returned some positive indicators of Cu-Zn-Ag-Au mineralization in the area of the geophysical conductor targets announced September 18, 2009.

Final drill plans for the Tower Zone are underway. Specific drill hole designs will be constructed and targeting plans will be finalized next week in the Company's exploration team meetings in Snow Lake.

The HudBay Minerals September 22, 2009 announcement of a new and high grade copper-gold rich zone of mineralization beneath the Lalor Lake deposit is a very exciting development for HudBay and all exploration companies with property in the Snow Lake, Manitoba area. VMS Ventures holds large strategic exploration properties over a number of VMS deposit-bearing, prospective Time Space Units (horizons) in the Snow Lake end of the prolific Flin Flon Snow Lake VMS belt (http://www.vmsventures.com/pdfs/Discovery_Zone.pdf). The properties selected by the Company all host either VMS deposits or strong evidence of volcanogenic massive sulphide producing hydrothermal systems.

VMS Ventures uses the same consultants and the same state of the art downhole geophysical surveying used by HudBay Minerals in discovering and expanding Lalor Lake. These methods confirm and enhance the Company's geological and geochemical interpretations in its pursuit of new mines and deposits in the camp, The new deep anomalies at the Tower Zone are the most recent example of this collaboration.
