VR Resources seeks drill permit for New Boston

VRR · Price

Executive Summary

  • VR Resources Ltd. has submitted a Notice of Intent (NOI) for a drill permit to the Nevada Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for its New Boston molybdenum-tungsten-copper-silver porphyry project, specifically targeting the "Jeep mine" area on the western side of the system.
  • The company anticipates the permit approval process to take approximately 15 business days, consistent with the timeline used for its East zone drilling in 2024.
  • The upcoming drilling at the Jeep mine target is designed to test co-spatial and steeply plunging conductivity and induced polarization chargeability anomalies identified through a 2023 3-D array DCIP geophysical survey and reviewed with Dias Geophysical.

Key Details

  • Permit Application: Submitted to the Nevada Bureau of Land Management for a drill permit (NOI) for the New Boston project in Nevada.
  • Target Area: The "Jeep mine" target, located on the western side of the overall porphyry system, exposed on surface across a three- and four-kilometer strike east-west.
  • Regulatory Timeline: The company received a similar NOI permit for the East zone target in 2024 within 15 business days and anticipates a similar timeframe for the current Jeep mine application.
  • Geophysical Context:
    • A state-of-the-art 3-D array DCIP geophysical survey was conducted over the central part of the porphyry system in 2023.
    • Conductivity anomalies at the East zone were drill-tested in 2024, demonstrating copper and silver mineralization in continuous and intense stockwork veining in more than 1,500 feet of drill core in hole 002.
    • Inversion models for the DCIP survey were reviewed with Dias Geophysical (a leading provider of geophysical services) during the AME Mineral Exploration Conference in Vancouver.
    • The review clarified co-spatial and steeply plunging conductivity and induced polarization chargeability anomalies at the Jeep mine, which are now understood as the potential vein and sulphide center of the overall porphyry system.
  • Infrastructure: The company highlights strong local infrastructure as a strategic advantage for cost-effective mineral exploration and operations in the region.
  • Media: Two on-site field videos taken last week are available on the company's website, illustrating vein intensity and local infrastructure.
  • Technical Disclosure: Technical information is prepared in accordance with Canadian regulatory requirements (National Instrument 43-101) and reviewed by Dr. Michael Gunning, PhD, PGeo, the company's president and CEO.

Notable Quotes
