VVC VVC Exploration Corporation

VVC Exploration Corporation (TSX VENTURE:VVC) ("VVC" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce that the December 6, 2013 edition of the Juarez Journal in
Juarez, Chihuahua State, MX., reported that the head of the National Commission
of Natural Protected Areas ("CONAP"), Luis Fueyo MacDonald, "promised to make
adjustments to the Program Management Protected Area to allow Samalayuca Copper
Mining Company ("Samalayuca") to start exploration and exploitation of their
Kaity claim." The property is located in northern Chihuahua State, MX.,
approximately 60 km to the south of Juarez. This is one of the last hurdles in
our process of obtaining all the necessary permits for the start of production
at the Samalayuca copper project.


VVC owns 33.75% of Samalayuca and is focusing its efforts on starting production
in 2014. VVC President, Jim Culver, pointed out that "this announcement from
CONAP increases our confidence that all necessary governmental permits and land
use change will be in place by the end of the first quarter of 2104 allowing the
start of copper production during 2014." Culver noted that "Samalayuca continues
to be strongly supported by the local community in this process."


Firex SA, a Mexican company, specializing in construction and operation of open
pit mining projects, who own 25% of Samalayuca, has signed a contract with
Samalayuca to manage the mining and copper production process and will provide
up to $7 million in start-up loans to the company. MacDonald's announcement will
allow Firex to finalize their planning so that work could commence on the first
heap leach pad and pit in the second quarter of 2014.


Given the near term nature of the project, VVC is negotiating with potential
lenders who will lend against copper production from Samalayuca. VVC is
committed to provide up to $2 million to pay for the permits, exploration and
management at Samalayuca and has already advanced approximately $261,000.


The Company also announces that it has received notice of termination from
Exploracion Rio Placer S. A. de C. V. ("Rio Placer") regarding the option for
the mining rights of the La Tuna property, located in northern Sinaloa State,
Mexico. Rio Placer had agreed to pay US$3,220,000 plus applicable taxes over a
12 year period, subject to a 1% NSR royalty to VVC, to acquire 100% of the
property. VVC will evaluate the property in early 2014, to decide on further
exploration or marketing as a JV opportunity.


The Company's Financial Statements for the Third Quarter ended October 31st,
2013 and the Management's Discussion and Analysis for the same period have been
filed on SEDAR and can be accessed at www.sedar.com.
