VRR VR Resources Ltd

VR Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: VRR, FSE: 5VR; OTCBB: VRRCF), the “Company”, or “VR”, is pleased announce the planned DCIP geophysical surveys are now underway at both the Empire and Silverback projects in northwestern Ontario.

Conductivity and chargeability data from Dias Geophysics’ state-of-the-art DCIP geophysics system will be used to target interconnected and disseminated sulfide copper-gold-(nickel) mineralization at both projects.

• Figure 1. At Empire, the survey covers the layered mafic intrusion, with disseminated sulfides at surface grading 0.14 g/t gold, 0.54 g/t PGEs, and 0.2% Cu across 3 samples from the very western periphery of the intrusion exposed near the Trans Canada highway (see rock sample in Photo 1).
• Figure 2. At Silverback, the grid covers the gold enriched porphyry intrusion and all known gold and nickel showings along a 2 km trend, and is centred on a high-grade shear zone with 9.5g/t gold, 5.6% copper, and 52 g/t silver.

From VR's CEO Justin Daley: “We are excited to be advancing these targets with new technologies that will help us refine targets for drilling planned for later this month. The presence of mineralization linked to the DIGEM conductors, themselves associated with magnetic features tied to large intrusive systems at both projects is already encouraging. But these new IP surveys will image the shallow DIGEM conductors to a depth of roughly 500m, with new chargeability data expected to highlight disseminated mineralization observed at the surface.”

Photo 1. Sample from the southwestern end of the 2km long conductor shown in Figure 1. The coarse grained mafic rock texture contains disseminated or interstitial pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite, which typically respond well to IP surveys. The high magnesium content of these rocks is characteristic of a ‘sanukitoid’, which is an important class of intrusive rock for Archean gold deposits in Ontario.

The DCIP survey will refine the conductors (green) outlined in the December 2023 DIGEM survey. Lake sediment geochemistry and highway outcrop sampling support the ‘magmatic sulfide’ mineral system model for a large copper, gold and PGE system below cover at Westwood.

About the Empire and Silverback Projects

The Silverback project consists of 71 mineral claims in 1 contiguous block covering 4,442 hectares and Empire consists of 313 mineral claims in 1 contiguous blocks covering 10,254 hectares. The projects are located on Federal crown land, with mineral rights administered by the Ontario Ministry of Mines. There is a 2% net smelter royalty on the claims. There are no annual payments, but the Ministry requires certain annual exploration expenditures and reporting (ie. mineral assessment reports) in order to maintain a mineral claim in good standing. The projects fall within the Lac de Mille Lac First Nation traditional territories.

Technical Information

Surface grab samples and drill core samples were submitted for geochemical analysis to the AGAT laboratory in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Drill core was logged, cut and sampled at the Holbik Exploration warehouse in Upsala, Ontario, with sample preparation completed by AGAT in Thunder Bay alongside gold and PGE determination by atomic absorption assay. ICP-MS analyses for base metals, whole rock, and trace elements is performed at AGAT’s laboratory in Calgary, AB. Analytical results are subject to industry-standard and NI 43-101 compliant QAQC sample procedures, including the systematic insertion of sample duplicates, blanks and certified reference material (CRM) done both externally and internally at the laboratory by AGAT, as described by AGAT.

Technical information for this news release has been prepared in accordance with the Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101. Justin Daley, P.Geo., President & CEO at VR and a non-independent Qualified Person oversees and/or participates in all aspects of the Company’s mineral exploration projects, and the content of this news release has been reviewed on behalf of the Company by the Executive Chairman, Dr. Michael Gunning, P.Geo., a non-independent Qualified Person.

Spring 2023 drilling tested two smaller conductors from the DIGEM survey, shown in purple (deeper) and red (shallower). An untested 6-channel EM anomaly from 1980 OGS survey Map 80534 coincides with a 2-line DIGEM conductor, adjacent to the mafic intrusion, and near a 99th percentile gold in lake sediment anomaly. The new DCIP data is expected to refine all of the conductors along the 2 km trend of known mineralization.

About VR Resources Ltd.

VR is an established junior exploration company based in Vancouver (TSX.V: VRR; Frankfurt: 5VR; OTCQB: VRRCF). VR evaluates, explores and advances opportunities in copper, gold and critical metals in Nevada, USA, and Ontario, Canada. VR applies modern exploration technologies, in-house experience, and expertise in greenfields exploration to large-footprint systems in underexplored areas/districts. The foundation of VR is the proven track record of its Board in early-stage exploration, discovery and M&A. The Company is financed for its mineral exploration and corporate obligations. VR owns its properties outright and evaluates new opportunities on an ongoing basis, whether by staking or acquisition.
