VR RESOURCES ACQUIRES NEW GROUND TO FURTHER EXPAND ITS
JUNCTION COPPER-SILVER PROPERTY IN NEVADA
NR-18-05
April 5, 2018 , Vancouver, B.C.: VR Resources Ltd . (TSX.V: VRR , FSE: 5VR; OTCBB: VRRCF ), the
"Company", or “VR”, is pleased to announce the acquisition of new ground to further expand the size of
its Junction copper-silver property located in northern Nevada. In addition, surface exploration is now
underway at Junction, guided by geological mapping and prospecting completed in the fall of 2017, with
details to be reported in a separate release.
The size of the Junction property has now been increased ten-fold from that acquired in September,
2017, to a total of 160 claims covering 3,306 acres (1,338 hectares). The increase includes:
1. Staking of an additional 125 mineral claims during the past four months, in order to cover the
6,000 metre trend of surface copper-silver occurrences (see Figure 1 below);
2. The acquisition of an additional 20 claims adjacent to the northeast end of the Company’s main
block of claims, to cover a cluster of similar, surface copper -silver occurrences (see Figure 2
below). The acquisition of a 100% interest in the unpatented mineral claims (the “Claims”; the
“Acquisition”) from an individual (the “Vendor”) is based on a binding acquisition agreement
dated April 4, 2018, and includes the following terms:
An i nitial payment of US$6,000 and 50,000 shares in the capital of VR to the Vendor on
closing of the Acquisition (“the Closing”);
Payment of 50,000 shares in the capital of VR to the Vendor if VR completes a first -pass
diamond drill program on the Claims;
A Net Smelter Returns royalty of 3% on Closing to the Vendor , subject to VR’s right to buy
down up to one half of the royalty, equal to 1.5%, for US$500,000 per half a percent;
Closing subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.
There is no area of interest associated with the Acquisition.
Commenting on the news today , VR’s CEO Dr. Gunning reiterated: “ Simply stated, this ten-fold increase
in the size of the Junction property speaks to our conviction on its mineral potential for copper and silver.
The consistent rock and mineral associations in nearly 30 different occurrences now identified at surface
along a trend more than 6 kilometres long demonstrate a robust mineral system which the Company will
explore aggressively in 2018, including expanded geochemistry, and grid -based ground and airborne
geophysics, all towards prioritizing integrated exploration targets for first-pass diamond drilling.”
