VR RESOURCES STARTS IP GEOPHYSICS
AT BONITA COPPER-GOLD PROPERTY, NEVADA
NR-17-04
May 11, 2017, Vancouver, B.C.: VR Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: VRR, FSE: 5VR) the ("Company", or “VR” ), is
pleased to announce that an induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey is underway at its wholly owned
Bonita Property located in northwestern Nevada, USA.
VR has identified 8 integrated and specific targets for buried porphyry copper stocks within a large,
mappable porphyry hydrothermal system evident over the entire property at Bonita. Induced polarization
surveys are used in porphyry copper exploration to test for sulfide -bearing rocks which produce
chargeability anomalies. Eight test lines have been designed for the IP survey to evaluate the specific,
circular - to elliptical-shaped targets at Bonita for chargeability, as shown on a satellite image of the Bonita
property available on www.vrr.ca .
The IP work at Bonita is being done by Zonge International, based out of Reno. Three of eight lines were
completed in December, 2016; this program will complete the remaining 5 lines. The field crew mobilized
on Monday, May, 8, and the survey commenced on Bonita yesterday, Wednesday, May 10. The work is
expected to take approximately two weeks to complete. The company will evaluate extending, and/or in-
filling the IP survey when the set of eight test lines are complete.
Other exploration activities are ongoing at Bonita, as described in the previous news release on April 24,
2017 (www.vrr.ca ). Work includes:
▪ Collection of 207 soil samples from 5 lines, to augment 514 samples collected from 13 lines
previously. Geochemical data are expected this month;
▪ Detailed geological mapping of four key target areas at Bonita;
▪ Ongoing consultation with the BLM regarding the drill permit at Bonita;
▪ Ongoing discussions with various drilling companies for a drill contract at Bonita;
The Company is also making a number of field examinations to evaluate potential copper-gold
opportunities elsewhere in Nevada during this field program at Bonita.
The Company continues to develop plans for a first pass drill program to test at least two of the eight
integrated targets at Bonita. The Company looks forward to providing further updates as exploration
continues at drill planning progresses.
