VR Resources Ltd. announced that drilling is underway at its Hecla-Kilmer property and large- footprint copper-gold breccia target with critical metals located in northern Ontario. The Program Four to six drill holes are planned on four new, and separate magnetic anomalies derived from the recently completed drone survey. Drilling should take approximately six weeks to complete, with assay data from geochemical sampling expected by July, if not June.

The exploration camp is once again fully established on private land at Otter Rapids located just 23 km southeast of the property. The camp is serviced by Highway 634 which links the hydro electric facility at Otter Rapids to the towns of Cochrane and Kapuskasing located to the south along the northern Trans- Canada Highway. The Ontario Northern Railway also passes through Otter Rapids to service the communities of Moose Factory and Moosonee located on the tidewaters of James Bay.

This is the company's third reconnaissance drill program at H-K. In 2020, VR discovered a carbonate- fluorite hydrothermal breccia system which comes to bedrock surface and has more than 600 metres of vertical extent. It is hosted within, and is overprinted by ultra-high temperature, sulfide-bearing calc-potassic alteration. Follow-up drilling in 2021 intersected up to 299 m of rare earth elements and critical metals, and importantly, confirmed the presence of elevated gold along controlling structures.

By using the new AS magnetic anomalies derived from the new drone airborne survey as an indication of higher concentrations of hydrothermal magnetite, the objective of this third drill program is twofold: 1. Test the new AS magnetic peaks immediately to the east of VR's previous drilling for copper and gold, and/or, critical metals in higher concentrations than those intersected in 2020 and 2021; 2. Test the central core and southern rim of the H-K complex for new centers of copper-gold breccia; neither target has been previously drilled.
