VR Commences 2018 Surface Exploration at Junction; Gravity Anomaly Confirms the Down-Dip Potential of Copper-Silver Veins


VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 17, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VR Resources Ltd. (TSX.V:VRR) (FSE:5VR) (OTCBB:VRRCF), the "Company", or "VR", is pleased to announce that surface exploration is underway at its Junction copper-silver property in northwestern Nevada.  A gravity survey is complete, and a large, high contrast gravity anomaly confirms the down-dip potential of copper-silver veins at the Denio Summit target in the western part of the property.  An induced polarization survey (IP) is now underway to evaluate and refine the target. 

A summary of exploration planned for this spring at Junction includes:

There are two key results from the gravity survey, as illustrated on the attached maps:

The version of this news release posted at www.vrr.ca/news includes additional illustrative maps.  More complete information on the Junction property overall, including field photographs, are available at the Company's website at www.vrr.ca.

Commenting on the news today, VR's CEO Dr. Gunning stated: "We are compelled to see the strong spatial association of the gravity anomaly and surface copper-silver showings at the Denio Summit target; the size and magnitude (density contrast) of the anomaly are evidence for the down-dip continuation of the sulfide veins, and potentially a sulfide-bearing intrusive source.  The overall vein system at Junction extends for six kilometres along the Antelope Shear Zone; our work this spring will increase our understanding of the entire system, and more specifically refine and evaluate the Denio Summit target for first-pass drilling."

The Company will provide further details on 2018 surface exploration at Junction as work unfolds.  This phase of geological mapping, soil geochemistry, airborne magnetics and radiometrics, and ground-based IP test lines should be completed within the next two months. 

About The Junction Property

The Junction property is located in Humboldt County, near the Nevada ? Oregon border, immediately east of Highway 140. The nearby town of Denio Junction is less than 6 kilometres to the north, and facilitates effective and cost-efficient field exploration programs.  The Company has expertise to leverage and synergies to exploit at Junction by applying its extensive exploration experience during the past three years in northwestern Nevada at its nearby Bonita porphyry copper-gold project.

The Junction property consists of 179 claims covering 3,698 acres (1,497 hectares) in an area approximately 7.5 by 3 kilometres in size.  The property is on land administered by the federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and is outside of the BLM's broadly defined area of proposed sage grouse protection.

The property is owned 100% by VR, registered to the Company's wholly-owned, Nevada-registered US subsidiary Renntiger Resources USA Ltd.  Fifteen claims in the western part of the property were acquired from a private company in August, 2017 (terms of the acquisition, including royalty and Area of Interest, are outlined in a news release dated August 30, 2017.  There are no carried interests, joint venture interests, or back-in rights to any mineral claims at Junction.
