VMS Ventures has initiated diamond drilling on selected target areas proximate to the Reed Mine between Flin Flon and Snow Lake.  They say over 4 thousand meters of drilling has been budgeted for the program which is designed to test seven target areas located approximately 300 meters to 2.3 kilometers from the current Reed Mine workings.

Drill holes will test targets identified by the technical team of joint venture partner Hudbay.  Initial targets were generated through a review of archived exploration data sets and historical drilling and geophysical surveys. These targets were then re-evaluated using more recent electromagnetic geophysical surveys integrated with geochemical and geological data.

VMS Ventures will act as the operator for this exploration program and will be working in close co-operation with joint venture partner Hudbay.
