VMS Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:VMS) ("VMS" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce plans for a 2013 winter drilling program on its 100% owned Manitoba
properties. 


Neil Richardson, VMS Ventures COO states: "We have many quality targets this
winter, but we are particularly excited to get the drills turning on our newly
acquired Reed East and Reed West properties. We consider them highly prospective
as they cover a large area of the same volcanic rock package that hosts our high
grade Reed Copper Deposit and Reed North base metal occurrences. VMS deposits
tend to occur in clusters, within a specific package of these types of volcanic
rocks." 


Diamond drilling is scheduled to begin in February and is expected to continue
through April. Plans call for a budget of approximately $1.2 million which
includes drilling 3,000 to 3,400 metres in 16 to 20 diamond drill holes. All
target areas are within the Flin Flon - Snow Lake VMS greenstone belt of
Manitoba. 


Reed East and Reed West are adjacent to our Joint Venture property with Hudbay
Minerals, which hosts the Reed Copper Deposit, currently being developed into a
mine. These properties include targets with coincident Mobile Metal Ion (MMI)
zinc anomalies and VTEM anomalies. 


The other winter 2013 targets on VMS Ventures' 100% owned properties vary in
their specific characteristics, but all are associated with geophysical EM
conductors generally with associated magnetic anomalies and within interpreted
volcanic host rocks. More detail will be provided on these targets in the New
Year. 


Applications for drill permits have been submitted to the Manitoba government.
After drilling is concluded, holes with favourable mineralization, alteration or
geology, will be surveyed with down the hole TEM using Koop Geotechnical. Koop
will utilize borehole pulse electromagnetic equipment manufactured by Crone
Geophysics.
