VR Resources Ltd. announced drilling is now underway on Hole 1, WW24-001, at it's Empire Project in Northern Ontario, targeting the strongest IP chargeability results from the recently completed DCIP survey (NR-24-28) for magmatic sulfide containing copper, gold and platinum group elements within a large mafic intrusion in. Geophysical Targeting: Preliminary geophysical inversion results for the Empire DCIP survey are now in hand for the 3 lines across the Westwood target, showing a strong correlation of new data with magnetic features and the conductivity anomalies from the airborne EM survey flown one year ago. Strong resistivity and high chargeability, up to 18 mV/V, coincides at depth with the core of the northeast trending magnetic complex that is more than 2 km in length; Airborne DIGEM conductors co-spatial with the new chargeability zones, and verified on the resistivity profile to a depth of 150m.

A 200m across magnetic high south of the highway correlates to a pipe-like conductivity feature on Line 3.
