Velocity Acquires Copper-Gold Exploration
Property in Northern Greece
Vancouver, British Columbia – Velocity Minerals Ltd. (TSX.V: VLC , OTCQB: VLCJF ) (“ Velocity” or the
“Company”) provides an update on project generation work in northern Greece. The Company has been
active in Greece for approximately 18 months, visiting historical mineral occurrences, completing
geological mapping , rock sampling and prospecting . In connection with this generative strategy, the
Company is pleased to announce that it has been granted an exploration license located in north ern
Greece (“Miriofito” or the “Property”) (Figure 1).

of 1m to 3m returned encouraging grades from below detection up to 6.61 g/t gold, 0.3% copper, and
4.2 g/t silver (Table 1).
Miriophito is a polymetallic copper-gold-silver-lead-zinc vein-replacement type system hosted in a
carbonate rock environment at the strongly sheared contact with mica and amphibolite schist s. Gold-
bearing sphalerite-chalcopyrite-covelline-galena-pyrite quartz veins are found in carbonate and in a
strongly sheared marble -schist contact as well as at places controlled by low -angle northwest faults in
silicified mica gneiss.
The Company is targeting carbonate replacement mineralisation similar to that observed at the Olympias
deposit which is owned by Eldorado Gold (15.1 Mt at 8.97 g/t gold, 146 g/t silver, 4.9% lead, and 6.5%
zinc) and is part of the same belt. Copper-gold porphyry targets will also be evaluated due to the proximity
of known porphyry deposits in the belt (Figure 1).
Readers are cautioned that the Olympias deposit discussed above is an adjacent property and that Velocity
has no interest in or right to acquire any interest in the deposit, and that mineral deposits on adjacent or
similar properties, and any production therefore or economics with respect thereto, are not in any way
indicative of mineral deposits on Velocity’s Miriofito property or the potential production from, or cost or
economics of, any future mining of any of Velocity’s mineral properties.
Next Steps
The planned work program includes stream sediment screening of the entire exploration license as well
as regional and detailed geological mapping. Geochemical rock and soil sampling and hydrothermal
spectral analysis. Various geophysical surveys are plann ed to include 110-line km of ground magnetics,
20-line km of IP Resistivity and ground gamma spectrometry. This initial work program is designed to
delineate priority targets for drill testing and is expected to be the subject of a planned initial NI 43 -101
Technical Report. The Company continues to evaluate additional staking and tender opportunities in the
region.
