    production of 13,154 tonnes of ore

In the month of November 294 metres of underground development were completed,
reaching a total of 2,079 metres. Project development reached 1,662 metres with
an additional 417 metres of pre-production development. 


The focus for December will remain on safety and continued ramp development down
to the 135 metre level and pre-production development at the 110 metre level of
the mine. 


The project remains on budget and on schedule and is expected to reach
commercial production by the second quarter of 2014. 


Neil Richardson, VMS Ventures' COO states: "We are very pleased to see that the
rate of advancement reached 9.8 metres per day in November. This helped achieve
the milestone of over two kilometers of underground development to date for the
project. Also, the mine operations have prepared the first production stope
which is very good news, as well. We expect this pace of progress to continue
through December and into 2014 as we work towards commercial production at the
Reed copper mine."
