VMS Ventures Announces Completion of Drilling on Exploration Targets Near Reed Mine
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 12/03/15 -- VMS Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE: VMS) ("VMS" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed a seven hole exploration program totaling 4,870 metres. The areas targeted are located approximately 300 metres to 2.3 kilometers from the operating Reed mine, where VMS Ventures owns 30% and Hudbay Minerals Inc. (TSX: HBM)(NYSE: HBM) ("Hudbay") owns 70% and is the operator.
PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
VMS Interim CEO and President, John Roozendaal, commented: "The results from our first surface exploration drill program at the Reed mine are encouraging. Three of the seven holes require follow-up work based on favourable geology and borehole electromagnetic survey results to date. Borehole geophysical surveys for holes RLE036 & RLE040 identified targets ahead of the holes but beyond the depth capacity of the drill used for this program. Consideration will be given to deepen these bore holes with a larger drill capable of reaching target depth. The drill utilized for this program was a heli-portable EF-50 which was limited to about 1000 metres, so the approach anomalies were not able to be tested in this program. A follow-up program is being considered but a decision won't be made until all the results from this drill program are received, analyzed and interpreted."
