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.
