Reed Mine Development
Mine production from 3 separate lenses of massive
sulphide Cu-Zn-Au-Ag mineralization
Ore will be accessed and extracted via a spiral ramp
being developed to the current lower most
mineralization 500m below surface
The low Cap-Ex ($72 M) and high grade nature of the
Reed Copper deposit gives the project positive
economics.

Reed Mine Long Section
Ramp has reached the 245 m level. Ore development currently on the 135, 210 & 235 meter levels.
Borehole Pulse Electromagnetic targets indicate the deposit remains open at depth.
Drilling to test for additional new ore zones will begin once underground development reaches depth and exploration drift driven. (Approx. 300 metre level)
Commercial production commenced April 2014 on time and on budget

Reed Mine Area Exploration Potential
High grade massive sulphide occurrences have been discovered in the area surrounding the Reed Mine.
These deposits tend to occur in clusters and exploration continues this winter for the next deposit on the property.

Recent massive sulphide
discoveries, including the Reed
Mine, were made using the VTEM
airborne geophysical system
VMS Ventures has flown over
17,000 line-km of VTEM over its
extensive property package on
close spaced high definition flight
line spacing.
Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide
deposits (VMS Type Deposits)
form in clusters of multiple
deposits.

Assean Lake History
Historical Work
February 2001 to April 2005, nine major exploration and drilling programs (close to $4 million in expenditures)
were completed on the property by the JV partners at a time when gold was trading below $450/ounce:
183 diamond drill core holes totally 28,566 meters completed.
Line cutting to construct survey grids
MMI geochemistry surveys
Geophysical surveys (ground magnetic surveys, induced polarization (IP) surveys, ground electro-
magnetic (EM) surveys)
Prior exploration resulted in the discovery of a number of gold occurrences, most significant being the Hunt Zone
the BIF (banded iron formation) Zone and Blow Fish Lake zones.
The Hunt Zone is a mineralized shear zone reaching a width of almost 10 meters and extending over a strike
length of 600 meters. It has been tested by 57 diamond drill holes (14,058 meters) to a depth of 250 metres before
being truncated by a fault.
Considerable fine visible gold occurs within the Hunt Zone veins particularly in a high-grade shoot where grades
reach as high as 27.22 g/t Au over 4.27 meters (about 3.60 meters true width).

Assets and Opportunities
Reed Mine
Underground drill stations will explore for additional ore bodies and further define the size of the deposit
Commercial production has begun; Five year mine life anticipated without increased reserves from ongoingexploration
Over $6 M in treasury + cash flow (Reed Mine) = New Opportunities & Growth
We are actively seeking an advanced stage project and are continuously reviewing prospective projects. The
current business climate is favorable for high value acquisitions as many companies are struggling to raise money
and finance existing projects
Recently announced Assean Gold Project acquisition, an advanced stage exploration project
North American Nickel (VMS owns 22% at current trading price approximately $8M in shares.)
The world’s next district scale nickel sulphide camp?
NAN is exploring a 75 km long belt of prospective intrusions within a district scale property which hosts high grade
nickel-copper-cobalt PGE sulphide mineralization, located on the SW coast of Greenland.
