VMS Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:VMS) ("VMS" or "the Company") is pleased to
announce that all resolutions placed before shareholders at its Annual General
Meeting held today (the "AGM") were passed. In particular, the following were
elected as directors of the Company to hold office for the ensuing year:




         Richard Mark
         John Roozendaal
         Cheryl Messier
         Evan Sleeman
         Dr. Mark Fedikow
         Jay Dea Butterworth
         Donald Whalen



The Company also wishes to announce that it received shareholder approval at the
AGM to a shareholder rights plan, as adopted by the Company on December 12, 2011
(the "2011 Rights Plan"). The 2011 Rights Plan supersedes and replaces the
Company's prior shareholder rights plan which expired as of the AGM.


The 2011 Rights Plan is intended to provide for the fair treatment of
shareholders in connection with any take-over bid for the Company. It is
designed to provide sufficient time for the board of the Company and its
shareholders to consider any unsolicited take-over bid without undue pressure
and to give the Company's board time to consider alternatives to maximize
shareholder value.


Pursuant to the 2011 Rights Plan, each holder of record of the shares of the
Company on the close of business on February 10, 2012, and the holders of any
shares issued thereafter, will be issued one right per common share. These
rights will trade with the common shares and be represented by the certificates
representing the common shares.


The 2011 Rights Plan will remain in effect until the close of business on the
day following the Company's Annual General Meeting in 2014.


A copy of the 2011 Rights Plan is available for viewing at www.sedar.com.

The 2011 Rights Plan is similar to shareholder rights plans adopted by numerous
other Canadian public corporations. The Company is not aware of any current,
pending or threatened take-over bid for the Company.
