VR SAMPLES 58.3 g/t GOLD AND 809 g/t SILVER AND STAKES NEW PROPERTY TO
EXPAND ITS DANBO PROPERTY EPITHERMAL GOLD TREND IN NEVADA
NR-19-02
February 5, 2019, Vancouver, B.C.: VR Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: VRR, FSE: 5VR; OTCBB: VRRCF), the "Company", or
“VR”, is pleased to announce its acquisition through staking of the Clipper gold-silver property, on trend with its
Danbo and Amsel properties in the Walker Lane belt of west-central Nevada. This acquisition expands the Company’s
exploration strategy at Danbo to encompass a district-scale structure and epithermal gold system.
First-pass mapping and sampling at Clipper has revealed a widespread system of gold-silver epithermal quartz veins
and silicified zones on trend with those at Danbo, located 5 kilometres to the northwest, along trend (Figure 2). Like
Danbo, Clipper hosts a series of parallel vein systems across a width of 1.2 – 1.5 kilometres (Figure 3). From 28
surface grab samples collected during mapping this summer, ten exceed 1 g/t gold, with values of up to 12.8 g/t gold
in vein outcrops , and up to 58.3 g/t gold and 809 g/t silver in samples from around historic workings which are
scattered across the Clipper property. Anecdotal documentation by the Nevada Bureau of Mines of artisanal
production from the Clipper mine reports grades of up to 15 oz/ton gold-equivalent (514 g/t).
The staking of the Clipper Property is the result of a regional exploration initiative conducted by VR through the
summer of 2018, along a newly identified structural corridor parallel to the northern margin of the Walker Lane belt
(Figure 1). The northwest-southeast trending structural corridor cuts a Tertiary rhyolite volcanic center named the
Big Ten caldera , and the Clipper, Danbo and Amsel gold systems all occur near fault offsets or fault intersections
within the corridor. The Round Mountain (16 M oz gold) and Manhattan (800,000 oz gold) epithermal gold systems
occur in similarly aged rhyolite caldera centers immediately to the northwest. Further, the low-sulfidation character
of the hydrothermal system at Big Ten is comparable to that at Round Mountain.
Common elements at the Company’s Amsel, Danbo and Clipper properties strengthen the Big Ten structural and
mineral trend. Quartz veins are subvertical and northwesterly striking, parallel to the Big Ten trend itself. Sulfide is
present in gold-bearing veins (Photo 1), but Danbo and Clipper represent a low-sulfidation system overall. Quartz
veins are commonly spatially associated with silicified ribs at Clipper ( Photo 2), and within a broader topographic
knob of bleached and silicified rhyolite tuff at Amsel.
Commenting on the news today, VR’s CEO Dr. Gunning stated: “While the Clipper property has stand-alone potential
based on the number of gold -bearing veins and the overall dimensions of the quartz vein system, it also serves to
confirm a district-scale ‘Big Ten’ strategy and exploration model going forward. Concurrent exploration at all three
properties and throughout the trend will benefit from shared synergies and leveraged learning; overall, the Company
will have the ability to evaluate and prioritize the most fertile parts of a structural corridor and mineral trend more
than ten kilometres long of gold-bearing quartz veins. The size of the nearby Round Mountain epithermal gold system
underscores the relevance of the potential of the Big Ten corridor, based on their similar ages, setting and chemistry.”
Drill permitting at Danbo progressed in 2018. Planned drill hole locations are straightforward based both on the
surface location of gold-bearing veins, and nearby existing historic mine roads. The Company has initiated planning
for a early spring biology survey, a final step in permitting, and continues to plan for a first pass drill program in 2019.
The Clipper property comprises 17 claims covering 328 acres (132 ha), located approximately 4 km southeast along
trend from the Danbo property . Like Danbo, exploration is cost -effective at Clipper via highway access from US
Route 6, and historic mining roads on the property.

Technical Information
Surface grab samples for geochemistry are submitted to the ALS Global (‘ALS”) laboratory facilities in Vancouver,
BC., including ICP -MS analyses for base metals and trace elements, and gold determination by atomic absorp tion
assay. Analytical results are subject to industry -standard and NI 43-101 compliant QAQC sample procedures at the
laboratory, as described by ALS.
Technical information for this news release has been prepared in accordance with the Canadian regulatory
