VR completes final drill planning site visit to New Boston
NR-24-02
February 2 2, 2024 , Vancouver, B.C.: VR Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: VRR, FSE: 5VR ; OTCQB: VRRCF ), the
"Company", or “ VR”, has just completed its final field visit in preparation for the maiden drill program
planned for its New Boston property and polymetallic Cu-Mo-Ag porphyry system in west-central Nevada.
Confirmed drill hole designs while standing on recently permitted drill sites in the field;
Met with drill contractors to discuss logistics and timing for an efficient drill program;
Staked out earth work plans for drill pads and roads with a local equipment operator, and;
Verified local water supply, hauling and storage plans for the drill program.
From VR’s VP Exploration, Justin Daley, “It was great to be back in the field at New Boston last week.
Despite recent winter storms, the property was free of snow, a testament to the year-round exploration
potential there. Detailed plans are now in place with both drillers and local equipment operators for our
planned maiden drill program into the East Zone conductor. With permit in-hand, we are ready!
Our mapping continues to show a consistent correlation between surface copper veins and conductivity
anomalies across the property, as illustrated by interconnected sulfides from East Zone shown in Photo 1.
As such, I encourage our shareholders to review t he information available on our website , including the
previous two news releases on New Boston in order to fully appreciate the size, amplitude and clarity of
the conductivity anomaly at East Zone that we intend to drill (see Photo 2).
Almost as compelling as the surface copper and conductivity target at East Zone are the field logistics for
this drill program. As shown in Photo 3, with highway 95 just 4km from planned drill sites atop copper
oxides, and with access to water, accommodations and services nearby, we look forward to running the
most efficient and cost-effective drill program that VR has yet planned in Nevada.
Stay tuned for further updates as we progress towards drilling.
Field Videos
A short video from this recent field visit, along with video from several previous site visits are available on
the New Boston Project Page on the Company’s website at www.vrr.ca. Also, on the Home Page itself is a
20 minute video review of the New Boston project and drill targets, illustrated in PowerPoint.

About the New Boston Property
Location
New Boston is within the Walker Lane mineral belt and structural province in west-central Nevada. More
specifically, it is within the co -spatial belts of Jurassic - and Cretaceous-aged copper and moly porphyry
deposits, including the Yerington camp and Hall deposit.

New Boston is located in the Garfield Range in Mineral County, approximately 150 km southeast of Reno.
Vegetation is sparse in the range; outcrop or colluvium predominate on the property itself, with
quaternary cover developed off its eastern border and eastern flank of the range.
The property location facilitates cost-effective exploration, year-round. Access is from the nearby town
of Luning, located just 5 km to the east on State Highway 95 connecting Reno and Las Vegas. The property
itself is criss-crossed by a myriad of active, historic trails and roads which are reachable from the highway.
Property Description
The New Boston property is large: it consists of 77 claims in one contiguous block approximately 3 x 5km
in size and covering 583 hectares in total (1,441 acres). It covers the entire extent of the known copper-
moly-silver porphyry-skarn mineral system exposed on surface between Blue Ribbon and East Zone, and
its inferred down-dip potential to the north.
The property is on federal land administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). There are no
state or federal land use designations, or privately-owned land which impede access to the property; nor
is the property within the BLM’s broadly defined area of sage grouse protection.
The property is owned 100% by VR. There are no underlying annual lease payments ; nor are there any
joint venture or back-in interests. The vendor of the property retains a royalty.

Photo 2. Photograph looking across the East Zone bowl, over state highway 95 connecting Reno and Las Vegas. Shown are two planned drill holes into
the East Zone conductor derived from the DCIP survey completed in April, 2023, with copper-silver gossans where it comes to surface. The conductor
plunges westerly for 900 metres, into the bowl to the left of the photo. Hole NB-1 drilled in 1967 intersected 318 ft @ 0.14% Cu and 0.08% MoS2 as it
drilled out of and away from the eastern margin of the west-plunging conductor; there are no historic drill holes into the conductor itself, period.
