VR Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: VRR, FSE: 5VR; OTCBB: VRRCF), the
"
Company", or “
VR”, is pleased to
announce new assay results from its Golden Bear Project in
northwestern Ontario, and the application for an exploration plan
for trenching and washing of outcrops ahead of anticipated
first-pass drilling.
VR has new assay data from samples of
hydrothermal breccia exposed by logging in 2021 at its recently
acquired Golden Bear Project. The average grade in 3 samples is
2.16% copper and 15.6 g/t silver
(Photo 1). The 2m wide breccia occurs along a
structure trending north-northwest through a large granodiorite
intrusion mapped by the OGS (Figure 1). Recent
work shows the copper-silver mineralization in the hydrothermal
breccias is related to aplite and granitic dykes derived from the
granodiorite and intruding into metavolcanics (Photo
2), themselves with stockwork quartz veins.
Photo 1 shows the strong
sericite and carbonate altered pale green metavolcanic fragments
and quartz vein breccia with large clots of chalcopyrite throughout
the zone. Planned stripping will expose the extent of
mineralization along strike where mineralized structures are
inferred to coalesce under cover to the southeast.

From VR’s CEO Justin Daley: “In follow up to
recent logging activity, Holbik Exploration, the vendor of the
property, was able to discover new copper-silver mineralization
associated with strong hydrothermal breccia related to a late
Archean intrusion. While still an early-stage project, I’m
encouraged by the widespread aplite dykes, intrusive breccias, and
quartz veining across several kilometers of strike.
We have now filed an exploration plan with the
Ontario Ministry of Mines and the Eagle Lake and Wabigoon Lake
First Nations, allowing us to expose more of this mineralized trend
and intrusive complex. We look forward to providing updates as we
get more work at Golden Bear under our belt.”

property. The complex intrusive relationships and breccia textures
indicate a dynamic and powerful intrusive system with evidence of
differentiation from a quartz gabbro to granodiorite through to
felsic aplite dyke swarms associated with quartz veining.

About the Golden Bear Property
The Golden Bear Project consists of 10 mineral
claims in a 4 x 4km contiguous blocks covering 1,276 hectares. The
property is located on Federal crown land, with mineral rights
administered by the provincial Ontario Ministry of Mines. There are
no annual payments associated with the property, but the Province
of Ontario requires certain annual exploration expenditures and
reporting (i.e. mineral assessment reports) in order to maintain
the mineral claims in good standing. The property fall within the
Eagle Lake and Wabigoon Lake First Nations traditional
territories.
Technical Information
Surface grab samples were submitted for
geochemical analysis to the AGAT laboratory in Thunder Bay,
Ontario. Sample preparation is completed in Thunder Bay alongside
gold and PGE determination by atomic absorption assay. ICP-MS
analyses for base metals and trace elements is performed at AGAT’s
laboratory in Calgary, AB. Analytical results are subject to
industry-standard and NI 43-101 compliant QAQC sample procedures,
including the systematic insertion of sample duplicates, blanks and
certified reference material (CRM) done both externally and
internally at the laboratory by AGAT, as described by AGAT.
Technical information for this news release has
been prepared in accordance with the Canadian regulatory
requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101. Justin Daley,
P.Geo., President and CEO at VR and a non independent Qualified
Person oversees and/or participates in all aspects of the Company’s
mineral exploration projects, and the content of this news release
has been reviewed on behalf of the Company by the Executive
Chairman, Dr. Michael Gunning, P.Geo., a non-independent Qualified
Person.

VR is an established junior exploration company based in
Vancouver (TSX.V: VRR; Frankfurt: 5VR; OTCQB: VRRCF). VR evaluates,
explores and advances large-scale, blue-sky opportunities in
copper, gold and critical metals in Nevada, USA, and Ontario,
Canada, and more recently, Canada’s newest discovery of a
diamond-bearing kimberlite pipe at its Northway project. VR applies
modern exploration technologies and leverages in-house experience
and expertise in greenfields exploration to large-footprint mineral
systems in underexplored areas/districts. The foundation of VR is
the proven track record of its Board in early-stage exploration,
discovery and M&A. The Company is financed for its mineral
exploration and corporate obligations. VR owns its properties
outright and evaluates new opportunities on an ongoing basis,
