Executive Summary

  • VR Resources Ltd. has received its Notice of Intent (NOI) drill permit from the Nevada Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for its New Boston molybdenum-tungsten-copper-silver porphyry project.
  • The permit covers eight potential drill sites in the Jeep mine area, part of a polymetallic porphyry system with a strike length of 3-4 kilometers.
  • The company has commenced field planning for an approximately 1,500-meter drill program designed to test new IP and conductivity geophysical anomalies identified at the Jeep mine.

Key Details

  • Permit Status: Received Notice of Intent (NOI) drill permit from the Nevada BLM; processed within 15 business days of submission.
  • Drill Sites: Permit includes eight potential drill sites located in the Jeep mine area within the western part of the porphyry system.
  • Project Scale: The porphyry system features sheeted and stockwork veins exposed on the surface over a strike length of 3 to 4 kilometers.
  • Planned Activity: Field planning is underway for an approximately 1,500-meter drill program.
  • Target: The drilling aims to test new Induced Polarization (IP) and conductivity geophysical anomalies at the Jeep mine, which are interpreted as the potential vein and sulphide center of the skarn and porphyry system.
  • Previous Context (2023-2024):
    • 3-D array DCIP geophysical survey completed in 2023; models reviewed with Dias Geophysical.
    • 2024 first-pass drilling in the East zone intersected continuous and intense stockwork veining with copper and silver mineralization over more than 1,500 feet of core in hole 002.
    • The upcoming Jeep mine drilling seeks to build on these results by targeting polymetallic grade potential including molybdenum and tungsten.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Technical information prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101; reviewed by Dr. Michael Gunning, CEO and PGeo.

Notable Quotes

  • "We are appreciative of the efficient execution of our NOI permit application by the BLM, and excited to have the ball rolling again at New Boston." — Dr. Michael Gunning, CEO
  • "Our goal is simple; to complete the first-pass drilling across the large-footprint, moly-tungsten-copper-silver porphyry and skarn system that we started in 2024." — Dr. Michael Gunning, CEO
