VR Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: VRR, FSE: 5VR; OTCBB: VRRCF), the
"
Company", or “
VR”, is pleased to
announce the completion of two, state-of-the-art DCIP geophysical
surveys at its Empire and Silverback projects in northwestern
Ontario, with inversions underway, preliminary results under
review, and drill planning underway.
A field photo highlighting road-accessible
logistics is shown below in Photo 1A. The surveys
were completed as planned; on time and on budget, as described in
NR-24-26 from November 12th. Data quality for both surveys is good,
with minimal EM coupling at surface, low noise, and strong
correlation to conductivity in previously collected airborne EM
data. Details include:
- Empire Project:
roughly 7km of 2D DCIP readings were completed along 3 lines across
the Westwood target, a 3km long magnetic anomaly, with a survey
depth penetration of 500m.
- Silverback Project: A 4 x 4 km
3D-array DCIP grid was completed, generating 90,000 unique dipoles,
with 500 m depth penetration. As shown in Figure
1, the grid is centred on a shear zone with 9.5g/t
gold, 5.6% copper, and 52 g/t silver, and it covers the
recently announced gold-enriched porphyry intrusion, and as shown
in Photo 2, quartz vein stockworks discovered in
outcrop during the survey, near a 6-channel EM anomaly from an OGS
survey in 1980.
Surface mineralization near the Trans Canada
highway at the Westwood target averages 0.2% Cu, 0.54 g/t
Pt+Pd, and 0.14 g/t Au in disseminated sulfide. A new
outcrop of iron-stained ultra-mafic rock with disseminated and vein
sulfide was discovered during the survey (see Photo
1B). Overall, the three DCIP lines are designed to outline
the areas of strongest conductivity and chargeability related to
this sulfide mineralization, aided by detailed magnetic data
already in hand.
From VR's CEO Justin Daley: "The results of both
DCIP surveys have already exceeded expectations, giving us robust
and integrated exploration targets across the various geophysical
data sets acquired to date. We look forward to providing further
details as we work with DIAS to complete survey inversions, and
work internally to refine drill targets. I would like to thank the
DIAS field crew for their hard work completing these surveys as
winter arrived quickly in Upsala this past week.”

survey on the Westwood grid, Empire Project. Pervasively altered
mafic/ultramafic rock with quartz-carbonate veining, disseminated

delineate the center of this copper-nickel hydrothermal-magmatic
mineral system.
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.

Figure 1. Simplified
geophysical targeting map with DCIP grid design for the Silverback
project. 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.
Photo 2. Newly discovered
outcrop of quartz vein stockworks with sulfide in gabbro at
Silverback, with location shown in Figure 1 above, in the northeast
corner of the DCIP grid. This is very similar to the style of gold
mineralization seen 3km to the southwest in drill Hole 2. The
outcrop was discovered by the DIAS crew during the DCIP survey, and
nearby the 1980 6-channel EM anomaly from OGS Map 80534.
