upcoming drill program at New Boston polymetallic porphyry copper system in Nevada
NR-24-04
THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO THE UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED
STATES. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF U.S. SECURITIES LAWS.
March 14, 2024, Vancouver, B.C.: VR Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: VRR; FSE: 5VR; OTCQB: VRRCF), (the “Company” or
“VR”), announces a non-brokered private placement for $500,000 (the “Financing”).
The Financing will consist of up to 3,333,333 units (the “Units”) at a price of $0.15 per Unit for gross proceeds of
up to $500,000. Each Unit will consist of one common share (“Common Share”) of the Company, and one-half
of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole Common Share purchase warrant, a “Warrant”). Each
Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional Common Share at an exercise price of $0.20 per Common
Share, for a period of 18 months from the closing date (“Closing Date”) of the Financing.
In accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”), the Company may pay a finder’s
fee of up to a 6% cash for subscriptions to the Financing.
The Closing Date is expected to be on or before April 12, 2024, and is subject to all regulatory approvals, including
the approval of the Exchange. The securities issued in connection with this Financing will be subject to a hold
period of four months plus one day from the Closing Date, in accordance with applicable securities legislation.
Certain insiders of the Company may participate in the Financing. The issuance of Units to insiders of the
Company pursuant to the Financing will be considered related party transactions within the meaning of TSX
Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61 -101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in
Special Transaction (“MI 61-101”). The Company intends to rely on exemptions from the formal valuation and
minority approval requirements of sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61 -101 in respect of such insider
participation, based on a determination that fair market value of the participation in the Financing by insiders
will not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.
Use of Proceeds
VR plans to use the gross proceeds of the Financing for mineral exploration in Nevada, and for general working
capital. More specifically, the Company plans to use the funds to bolster the program budget for a planned drill
program on its New Boston polymetallic copper -moly-silver property in Nevada . The Financing will build upon
the funds expected to be received from the recently announced transaction and sale of the Company’s Hecla -
Kilmer REE property in northern Ontario (see NR24-03 dated March 11, 2024).
From VR’s CEO, Dr. Michael Gunning, “This financing is about fiscal discipline, and conviction.
The upcoming drill program planned on the polymetallic copper-moly-silver porphyry system on our New Boston
is founded on the non -dilutive funds from the recently announced sale of our Hecla -Kilmer property and P-REE-
Nb discovery. In the meantime, the goal of this financing is to bolster the New Boston drill budget, for two reasons:
Fiscal discipline. Additional funds will provide a contingency on inflation, which despite our experience in Nevada
and our control on costs, will effect every single line item on our budget.
Conviction. Should we encounter the copper mineralization that we see at surface in the East Zone bowl
throughout our initial planned holes, these additional funds will allow us to be more flexible, and aggressive with
regard to letting the planned holes run longer, or considering additional holes.”
