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 robust

economics.

Reed Mine Long Section

Borehole Pulse Electromagnetic targetsindicate the deposit remains open at depth.

Drilling to test for additional mineralization atthe mine will begin once undergrounddevelopment reaches suitable depth fordrilling.

Exploration from surface is planned torecommence this winter.

Commercial production commenced April2014 on time and on budget!

296,394 tonnes of ore mined YTD as of theend of September 2014 (97% of budget).

Recent massive sulphide

discoveries, including the Reed

Deposit, 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.

Reed Mine Area Exploration Potential

High grade massive sulphide occurrences

have been discovered in the area surrounding

the Reed Deposit.

These deposits tend to occur in clusters and

exploration is planned to begin again this

winter looking for the next deposit on the

property.

Assets and Opportunities

The Reed Copper Mine

Cash flow anticipated for late 2015 or early 2016

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

$3.5 M and cash flow coming in a challenging business environment = New Opportunities

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

Other Assets: North American Nickel (VMS owns 22% at current trading price approximately $8 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 S.W coast of Greenland.

Why Own VMS ? Well financed, cash flow coming, in a challenging market

offering excellent opportunities for acquisition and growth for companies with cash.
