VR Resources Stakes Rambler Gold Project on North Lumby Lake
Greenstone Belt in Ontario, and Submits Drilling Permit
NR-24-21
Oct 8, 2024, Vancouver, B.C.: VR Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: VRR, FSE: 5VR; OTCBB: VRRCF), the "Company", or “VR”,
is pleased to announce the acquisition of the Rambler Gold Project (“Rambler”), located approximately 6km
north of VR’s Empire Project on Trans Canada Highway 17 in Ontario, and has submitted a permit application for
drilling and trenching.
Rambler was staked because sulfides reported in historic drill logs have been discovered at surface (Photo 1). In
1968, Inco drilled 5 holes at Rambler to less than 50m each, targeting EM anomalies for base metal
mineralization, and intersected massive sulfide in each hole, with up to 6 m of 85% pyrrhotite-pyrite around a
magnetic high (Figure 1). As was common at the time, however, assays for gold were not completed or reported.
Recent sampling by VR shows anomalous gold in every rock unit at Rambler, and up to 149 ppb in disseminated
pyrrhotite from mafic volcanic outcrops exposed during forestry road building in 2016, and subsequent
prospecting by Holbik Exploration. Disseminated pyrrhotite (a magnetic iron sulfide) occurs in zones of
silicification of both metavolcanics and arenite, peripheral to magnetic highs. VR has now recognized east-west
shearing and boudinage on the south limb of a northeast-striking fold hinge at Rambler, which is adjacent to the
Marmion fault that transects the Hammond Reef gold deposit to the southwest.
Photo 1. Like the Empire Project to the south, outcrops are sparse at Rambler. Gold mineralization in meta-volcanic
rocks examined by VR Resources on Sept. 25th, 2024, occurs in outcrops exposed by forestry road building in 2016.
Anomalous gold is correlated with disseminated and veinlet sulfides found in the foliated and sheared chlorite
schists, with an apparent east-west and northeast structural control.
From VR’s CEO Justin Daley: “We’re excited about the early gold potential at Rambler, which became apparent
during our compilation of historic data for the Empire District. Due to limited exposure of the North Lumby Lake
greenstone belt in this area, the region saw little exploration in the 1960s, which was focused on massive sulfide
nickel-copper models. While we remain focused on our exploration at Empire and Silverback which are currently
permitted for drilling, the addition of the Rambler target gives VR a quick drill test on known massive sulfides,
with obvious program synergies with Empire. The exploration permit for Rambler is expected within 30 to 60
days, allowing us to twin the 1968 Inco holes in order to document for the first time the gold and polymetallic
grade potential of the massive sulfide mineral system.”

About the Rambler Project
The Project consists of 4 multi-cell mineral claims in 1 contiguous block spanning 6.5 by 5.5 km and covering
2,085 hectares. Rambler is located on Federal crown land, with mineral rights administered by the provincial
Ontario Ministry of Mines. There are no annual payments, but the Province requires certain annual exploration
expenditures and reporting (ie. mineral assessment reports) in order to maintain a mineral claim in good
standing. The Project falls within the Lac de Mille Lac First Nation traditional territories.

Canada Highway 17, some two hours west of Thunder Bay, Ontario. Historic sulfide intervals from drilling in 1968 is shown
atop a basemap of coarse regional magnetic data with important faults and greenstone belts from OGS mapping. Gold assays
are from VR Resources, from samples taken two weeks ago from outcrops recently exposed by logging in the area.

Technical Information
Surface grab samples were submitted for geochemical analysis to the AGAT laboratory in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
Sample preparation is completed in Thunder Bay alongside gold and PGE determination by atomic absorption
assay. ICP-MS analyses for base metals and trace elements is performed at AGAT’s laboratory in Calgary, AB.
Analytical results are subject to industry -standard and NI 43 -101 compliant QAQC sample procedures, including
the systematic insertion of sample duplicates, blanks and certified reference material (CRM) done both externally
and internally at the laboratory by AGAT, as described by AGAT.
Technical information for this news release has been prepared in accordance with the Canadian regulatory
requirements set out in National Instrument 43 -101. Justin Daley, P .Geo., President and CEO at VR and a non
independent Qualified Person oversees and/or participates in all aspects of the Company’s mineral exploration
projects, and the content of this news release has been reviewed on behalf of the Company by the Executive
Chairman, Dr. Michael Gunning, P .Geo., a non-independent Qualified Person.

VR is an established junior exploration company based in Vancouver (TSX.V: VRR; Frankfurt: 5VR; OTCQB: VRRCF).
VR evaluates, explores and advances large-scale, blue-sky opportunities in copper, gold and critical metals in
Nevada, USA, and Ontario, Canada, and more recently, Canada’s newest discovery of a diamond-bearing
kimberlite pipe at its Northway project. VR applies modern exploration technologies and leverages in-house
experience and expertise in greenfields exploration to large-footprint mineral systems in underexplored
areas/districts. The foundation of VR is the proven track record of its Board in early-stage exploration, discovery
and M&A. The Company is financed for its mineral exploration and corporate obligations. VR owns its properties
outright and evaluates new opportunities on an ongoing basis, whether by staking or acquisition.
