VMS Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:VMS) ("VMS" or "the Company") announces that a
statement of claim has been filed against the Company in Manitoba Court of
Queen's Bench by W. Bruce Dunlop Limited (N.P.L.) ("Dunlop"), the vendor of
certain of the claims comprising the Reed Lake Joint Venture, pursuant to an
agreement signed by both parties on December 2, 2008 (the "Dunlop Agreement"). 


The claim seeks to compel the Directors of the Company to give up VMS' 30 per
cent participating, carried to production, interest and to elect to become a
non-participating party to the Reed Lake Joint Venture in order to trigger
certain alleged royalty entitlements, largely benefiting Dunlop at the expense
of all other VMS shareholders. 


The Company views this claim to be completely without merit and acquiescing to
the Dunlop demand to be not in the best interest of the Company and its
shareholders. The Board of Directors has instructed VMS' Manitoba litigation
counsel to vigorously defend same.
