VR Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: VRR, FSE: 5VR; OTCQB: VRRCF), the “Company”, or “VR”, is pleased to announce the start-up of exploration at its Hecla-Kilmer (“H-K”) property and large-footprint copper-gold breccia target with critical metals located in northern Ontario.
– The exploration camp is re-established and operating at Otter Rapids;
– Extension of the ultra high-resolution drone magnetic survey from 2021 is complete, and;
– Drilling is expected to commence in approximately three weeks’ time.
The exploration camp mobilized last week and 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 along the northern TransCanada Highway located to the south. 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.
Drilling is expected to start in approximately three weeks’ time. This is the company’s third reconnaissance program at H-K. It will follow up on the intersections in 2020 and 2021 of up to 299 m of critical metals, with local copper and gold. These intersections occur within 600 m intersections of fluorite-carbonate hydrothermal breccia which comes to bedrock surface, within sulfide-bearing calc-potassic alteration.
