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.
