Mr. Wes Adams reports VISIONARY EXPANDS SLIPSTREAM PORPHYRY GOLD-COPPER-SILVER PROJECT IN UTAH, SECURES FIVE-YEAR SITLA EXPLORATION AGREEMENT WITH OPTION TO LEASE Visionary Metals Corp.'s wholly owned subsidiary, Lost Creek Utah Corp., has entered into a mineral exploration with option to lease agreement with the School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA) on behalf of the State of Utah. The agreement covers 2,584.80 acres (approximately 4.04 square miles) of state trust lands located in Box Elder county, Utah, directly within and adjacent to Visionary's unpatented mining claims. "This agreement with SITLA represents an important milestone for the Slipstream project and we are pleased to be working with SITLA to advance porphyry copper, gold and silver exploration in a responsible manner on SITLA lands and on our adjacent claims on federal lands," commented Wes Adams, chief executive officer of Visionary Metals. "There has never been a more important time than the present to be focused on new critical and precious metals discoveries in the United States, and we believe the Slipstream project has the potential to play an important role in contributing to future domestic precious and critical metals supply. SITLA revenue is a large contributor to K-12 education in Utah, so we are pleased that Utah school systems may benefit from the project." About Slipstream project The newly consolidated land position consists of 468 unpatented mining claims and covering key parts of an approximately 37-square-kilometre northeast-trending corridor containing porphyry-related copper-gold mineralization, proximal skarn and distal carbonate-replacement (CRD) lead-zinc-silver mineralization centred on a porphyritic monzogranite intrusion within the historic Lucin mining district in the northern Pilot Range.
