REGIONAL EXPLORATION POTENTIAL
Recent massive sulphide discoveries, including the Reed Mine, were made using the VTEM airborne geophysical system
VMS Ventures has flown over 17,000 line-km of VTEM over its extensive property package on close spaced high definition flight line spacing.
Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide deposits (VMS Type Deposits) form in clusters.
THE VTEM TECHNOLOGY
www.vmsventures.com
REED MINE AREA EXPLORATION POTENTIALHigh grade massive sulphide occurrences have been discovered in the area surrounding the Reed Mine. These deposits tend to occur in clusters, exploration continues in search of the next deposit.

REED MINE AREA EXPLORATION POTENTIAL
Seven diamond drill holes completed for a total of 4,870 metres.
Borehole Pulse Electromagnetic surveys completed on all drill holes.
BHEM, geological and analytical data will be reviewed in the coming months to define additional targets and design a follow-up program.

REED MINE AREA EXPLORATION RLE036 RLE036 collared to test
two plates that were modelled from a surface TDEM survey over the area.
The strike of the plates and the magnetic feature in the area potentially ties these anomalies with the Reed North zone.
10 anomalies were seen from the BHPEM survey. Seven anomalies were ranked Category “A” and three ranked Category “C” and not recommended for follow-up.
RLE036 EOH at 1056 metres was at the limit of the drilling equipment.

Category A target associated with zinc intersection is located left and above the hole
Deep targets are always challenging for follow-up. Hole deviation and cost are two big factors to consider. Also the deeper the target the economics have to be considered as the size and grade required to be economic.

Notes: (1) The zinc price used for the mineral reserve estimations was US$1.07 per pound (includes premium), the
copper price used for the mineral reserves estimation was US$3.15 per pound, the gold price was US$1,260.00 per ounce and the silver price was US$21.00 per ounce using an exchange rate of 1.10 C$/US$.
(2) For additional details relating to the estimates of mineral reserves and resources at the Reed mine, including data verification and quality assurance/quality control processes refer to the “Pre-Feasibility Study Technical Report on the Reed Copper Deposit, Central Manitoba, Canada” as filed on SEDAR by VMS Ventures Inc. on May 14, 2012.

REED MINE EXPLORATION
Ramp has reached the 285 metre level. Ore development currently on the 135, 210 & 235 meter levels.
Borehole Pulse Electromagnetic targets indicate the deposit remains open at depth.
Drilling to test for additional new ore zones will begin once underground development reaches depth and exploration drift driven. (Approx. 300 metre level)
