VR Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: VRR, FSE: 5VR; OTCBB: VRRCF), the
"
Company", or “
VR”, is pleased to
announce the acquisition of the Rambler Gold Project (“Rambler”),
located approximately 6km north of VR’s Empire Project on Trans
Canada Highway 17 in Ontario, and has submitted a permit
application for drilling and trenching.
Rambler was staked because sulfides reported in
historic drill logs have been discovered at surface (Photo
1). In 1968, Inco drilled 5 holes at Rambler to less than
50m each, targeting EM anomalies for base metal mineralization, and
intersected massive sulfide in each hole, with up to 6m of 85%
pyrrhotite-pyrite around a magnetic high (Figure
1). As was common at the time, however, assays for gold
were not completed or reported.
Recent sampling by VR shows anomalous gold in
every rock unit at Rambler, and up to 149 ppb in
disseminated pyrrhotite from mafic volcanic outcrops exposed during
forestry road building in 2016, and subsequent prospecting by
Holbik Exploration. Disseminated pyrrhotite (a magnetic iron
sulfide) occurs in zones of silicification of both metavolcanics
and arenite, peripheral to magnetic highs. VR has now recognized
east-west shearing and boudinage on the south limb of a
northeast-striking fold hinge at Rambler, which is adjacent to the
Marmion fault that transects the Hammond Reef gold deposit to the
southwest.
Photo 1. Like the Empire Project
to the south, outcrops are sparse at Rambler. Gold mineralization
in meta-volcanic rocks examined by VR Resources on Sept. 25th,
2024, occurs in outcrops exposed by forestry road building in 2016.
Anomalous gold is correlated with disseminated and veinlet sulfides
found in the foliated and sheared chlorite schists, with an
apparent east-west and northeast structural control.
From VR’s CEO Justin Daley: “We’re excited about
the early gold potential at Rambler, which became apparent during
our compilation of historic data for the Empire District. Due to
limited exposure of the North Lumby Lake greenstone belt in this
area, the region saw little exploration in the 1960s, which was
focused on massive sulfide nickel-copper models. While we remain
focused on our exploration at Empire and Silverback which are
currently permitted for drilling, the addition of the Rambler
target gives VR a quick drill test on known massive sulfides, with
obvious program synergies with Empire. The exploration permit for
Rambler is expected within 30 to 60 days, allowing us to twin the
1968 Inco holes in order to document for the first time the gold
and polymetallic grade potential of the massive sulfide mineral
system.”
About the Rambler Project
The Project consists of 4 multi-cell mineral
claims in 1 contiguous block spanning 6.5 by 5.5 km and covering
2,085 hectares. Rambler is located on Federal crown land, with
mineral rights administered by the provincial Ontario Ministry of
Mines. There are no annual payments, but the Province requires
certain annual exploration expenditures and reporting (ie. mineral
assessment reports) in order to maintain a mineral claim in good
standing. The Project falls within the Lac de Mille Lac First
Nation traditional territories.
Figure 1. Location of recently
staked Rambler Project, just 6km north of the Empire Project which
straddles the Trans-Canada Highway 17, some two hours west of
Thunder Bay, Ontario. Historic sulfide intervals from drilling in
1968 is shown atop a basemap of coarse regional magnetic data with
important faults and greenstone belts from OGS mapping. Gold assays
are from VR Resources, from samples taken two weeks ago from
outcrops recently exposed by logging in the area.
Technical Information
Surface grab samples were submitted for
geochemical analysis to the AGAT laboratory in Thunder Bay,
Ontario. Sample preparation is completed in Thunder Bay alongside
gold and PGE determination by atomic absorption assay. ICP-MS
analyses for base metals 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 and 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.
About VR Resources
VR is an established junior exploration company based in
Vancouver (TSX.V: VRR; Frankfurt: 5VR; OTCQB: VRRCF). VR evaluates,
explores and advances large-scale, blue-sky opportunities in
copper, gold and critical metals in Nevada, USA, and Ontario,
Canada, and more recently, Canada’s newest discovery of a
diamond-bearing kimberlite pipe at its Northway project. VR applies
modern exploration technologies and leverages in-house experience
and expertise in greenfields exploration to large-footprint mineral
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.
