VMS Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE: VMS) (the "Company") is pleased to
announce the appointment of Dr. Alan Bailes to the Advisory Board
of the Company.
Dr. Alan Bailes has over 35 years experience in
exploration-supportive mapping in volcanic, sedimentary and
metamorphic terranes. He has extensive experience in Precambrian
volcanology and the nature and origin of VMS deposits.
VP Exploration and Technical Services Dr. Mark Fedikow states:
"Dr. Bailes appointment to the VMS Ventures Advisory Board is a
tremendous addition to the Company. Alan's expertise in the geology
of the Flin Flon - Snow Lake greenstone belt and its contained
mineral deposits are recognized industry wide and he has spent his
career investigating and understanding these rocks. His extensive
experience makes our team stronger and better equipped to move
forward towards our next discovery. We look forward to working with
him as we begin a new chapter in the Company's history."
Dr. Bailes has participated in numerous
government-industry-university collaborative projects that have
made significant advances in the understanding of resource-rich
greenstone belts and the controls on contained mineralization.
Between 2001 and 2008 Dr. Bailes was the Chief Geologist in charge
of the Precambrian Section of the Manitoba Geological Survey and a
participant in two Targeted Geoscience Initiatives examining the
geological setting of the Flin Flon VMS deposit. He began a
consulting career in 2008 that has included work with HudBay
Minerals on their recently discovered Lalor Zn-Cu-Au deposit.
Dr. Bailes has a B.Sc from McGill University and a M.Sc and
Ph.D. from the University of Manitoba. During his career with the
Manitoba Geological Survey he undertook numerous mapping projects
in the resource-rich Flin Flon greenstone belt with particular
emphasis on the Snow Lake area. He co-led the federal-provincial
Snow Lake EXTECH I project, which from 1989 to 1994 investigated
new exploration methodologies and strategies for VMS and Au
mineralization. He served as provincial representative on the
industry-funded MITEC project 93E06: "Prospective versus barren
volcanic belts: A new exploration strategy". From 1991 to 1996 he
participated in the NATMAP Shield Margin Project which
revolutionized the understanding of how greenstone belts developed
and the role of tectonostratigraphic setting in controlling
mineralization. Between 1992 and 1998 he participated in the
industry-sponsored CAMIRO project 94E07: "The use of regional scale
alteration zones and subvolcanic intrusions in exploration for
volcanic-associated massive sulphide deposits". From 2001 to 2008
Dr. Bailes participated in two Flin Flon Targeted Geoscience
Initiatives which examined the setting of the world-class Flin Flon
VMS deposit. In his recent role as a geological consultant, Dr.
Bailes brings to his investigations a strong geological background,
solid understanding of VMS deposits and in-depth knowledge of the
Flin Flon greenstone belt.
