VMS Vortex Metals Inc

VMS Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:VMS) ("VMS Ventures" or the "Company") is pleased
to update shareholders on the progress made at the Reed mine, near Flin Flon,
Manitoba. VMS Ventures owns 30% of the project and is carried to production.
Hudbay Minerals Inc. (TSX:HBM)(NYSE:HBM) ("Hudbay") owns 70% and is the
Operator. 


VMS Ventures announced today that Hudbay has completed a total of 1,505 metres
of lateral development on the project to the end of September, which includes an
advance of 250 metres in September that averaged 8.3 metres per day. The first
Reed ore batch test was processed at Hudbay's Flin Flon mill in September. 


Other highlights during the month include completion of the underground powder
and cap magazine, wash bay and the refuge station. A new production drill was
received and the camp is now finalized for the crews. The operation has worked
over 565 days without a lost time accident as of the end of September. 


Full production remains on schedule to commence by the second quarter of 2014
and the project remains within the estimated budget parameters. 


Neil Richardson, VMS Ventures' COO states: "The critical path to full production
is the development of the main ramp, which will allow us to access the three
lenses which make up the Reed deposit. The development crews achieved an average
of 8.3 metres per day which is the highest monthly development recorded at the
project to date. The second ore batch test was recently completed." Please visit
