VR Receives NOI Permit with Expanded Drill Site Coverage for its New Boston Moly-Copper-Tungsten- Silver Porphyry Project in Nevada
VR secures an expanded Nevada drilling permit for its New Boston follow-up program.
VR Resources Limited has received approval from the Nevada Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for an expanded Notice of Intent (NOI) drill permit at its New Boston project. The permit increases the number of approved drill sites from 8 to 16, doubling the initial allocation for the Jeep Mine area.
The company completed a site visit on October 8-9 to inspect the 16 sites and finalize logistics for the upcoming follow-up drilling program. The expansion is directly tied to the significant results from drill hole NB26-003, which intersected 317 meters at 0.77% CuEq starting at surface, underlain by 419 meters at 0.48% CuEq, within a continuous 2,892 ft (881 m) polymetallic stockwork veining system.
Management confirms that exploration modeling and geochemical vectors are ready, and planning is fully underway for the next phase of drilling.
VR Resources Ltd. (VRR) has secured approval for an expanded drill permit, a standard operational milestone following the successful completion and assay results of hole NB26-003 in August 2026. The approval doubles the permitted sites from 8 to 16, providing management with additional flexibility to test the full extent of the geophysical anomalies, including IP chargeability and conductivity, identified at the Jeep Mine target.
The Bureau of Land Management processed the amendment quickly, indicating a cooperative regulatory environment. This development aligns with the company's stated use of proceeds from the September 2026 $7.5M private placement, which was explicitly earmarked for follow-up exploration drilling at New Boston. The news presents no new financial or strategic surprises, representing an incremental and operational step.
VR Resources Ltd. (VRR) is a Canadian exploration company focused on greenfields critical metal projects in established mining jurisdictions, primarily Nevada. Its flagship New Boston project is a polymetallic porphyry-skarn system targeting tungsten, molybdenum, copper, and silver. The site features a 3-4 km strike length of exposed sheeted and stockwork veins, with the Jeep Mine target currently under testing to evaluate co-spatial IP and conductivity anomalies.
The company also holds other assets, including the Bonita copper-gold porphyry, the Amsel and Danbo epithermal gold-silver projects, and the recently farmed-out Empire and Silverback projects in Ontario. All of VR Resources’ projects are in the exploration phase, and no resources, reserves, or economic studies have been defined.
