VMS Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:VMS) ("VMS Ventures" or the "Company") is pleased
to announce that North American Nickel Inc. (TSX VENTURE:NAN) ("North American
Nickel" or "NAN") issued a press release this morning announcing that Crone
Geophysics of Mississauga, Ontario has been awarded the Deep Electromagnetic and
Gravity survey contracts for NAN's southwest Greenland Maniitsoq project. Work
will begin in mid-April. VMS Ventures owns approximately 23.9% of NAN.


The release is as follows:

"North American Nickel Inc. is pleased to announce Crone Geophysics of
Mississauga, Ontario has been awarded Electromagnetic and Gravity surveys,
scheduled to start in mid-April at the Company's 100% owned Maniitsoq
nickel-copper-cobalt-PGM project in southwest Greenland.


Both the surface time-domain EM survey and the gravity survey at Maniitsoq will
be performed by Crone Geophysics & Exploration Ltd (www.cronegeophysics.com).
Crone specializes in the manufacture of high-quality time-domain EM equipment,
specifically the Crone Pulse EM system (PEM), and also provides well-trained
crews to safely and efficiently perform surveys with the PEM system and other
third-party geophysical equipment.


The PEM system operates by placing a large loop of insulated wire on the ground
through which a precisely-controlled changing current induces magnetic responses
from conductors hundreds of metres deep in the ground. It can be used to detect
and discriminate between a wide range of conductivities from poor (zinc), to
excellent (copper and nickel). Due to its unique transmitted current waveform
and its receiver's measuring system, Crone has developed a step-response
transformation of the data which extends this range of detection and
discrimination into the extremely high conductance that is seen in nickel
exploration. This feature has made the Crone PEM system an important part of the
exploration efforts in nickel exploration camps around the world, such as the
Raglan camp, Voisey's Bay, Sudbury, Alaska, Tanzania, Western Australia, and now
Greenland.


The deep penetration power of the Crone PEM system is also impressive; It was a
Crone PEM system that discovered the Lalor Lake deposit 800 metres below surface
in 2007, the largest base metal deposit discovered in Canada in decades. Crone
has a well-deserved reputation of building rugged, reliable, and portable
equipment, capable of working through extremes of temperature and humidity while
still having unmatched accuracy and low noise.


In addition to the Pulse EM survey, Crone will carry out a gravity survey with a
2 person crew consisting of a gravity operator and a GPS operator with extensive
experience in precision gravity surveys. The equipment consists of LaCoste &
Romberg model G gravity meters with a reading resolution of 0.01 mGal. The
differential GPS (DGPS) system is the Leica - model 1230 Dual Frequency, Dual
Constellation (GPS & GLONASS) RTK, rover and Base Station with an accuracy of 1
cm + 1 ppm in separation from the base station to the rover. The crew has
extensive worldwide experience and is capable of reducing the data to bouguer
mGal values nightly in the field. Gravity surveys measure extremely small
variations in the Earth's gravitational field, which can be used to locate high
density material such as nickel sulphide-bearing rock."


About VMS Ventures Inc.:

VMS Ventures Inc. is focused primarily on acquiring, exploring and developing
copper-zinc-gold-silver massive sulphide deposits in the Flin Flon-Snow Lake VMS
Belt of Manitoba. The Company's VMS project property portfolio consists of the
Reed mine, which is subject to a 70-30 JV with Hudbay Minerals and achieved
initial production in Q4-2013, Copper Project, McClarty Lake Project, Sails Lake
Project, Puella Bay Project and Morton Lake Project. Outside of the Snow Lake
camp, the Company holds massive sulphide prospective properties near the past
producing Fox Lake and Ruttan copper-zinc mines, near the communities of Lynn
Lake and Leaf Rapids in northern Manitoba. These properties are located in the
mining friendly province of Manitoba, Canada. The Company also has optioned the
Black Creek property in the Sudbury mining camp.


VMS Ventures owns approximately 23.9% of North American Nickel Inc. (TSX
VENTURE:NAN). For more information on North American Nickel Inc., please visit
