VR Resources Reports Drilling Results at Silverback Copper-Gold Project in Northwest Ontario

Core Insights - VR Resources Ltd. has reported results from its first winter drill program at the Silverback copper-gold project in Northwestern Ontario, indicating promising early-stage mineralization [1][6][11] Drilling Program Details - A total of six drill holes were completed, amounting to 1,342 meters, targeting IP chargeability and DIGHEM conductivity anomalies associated with a large mafic-ultramafic body [2][5] - The focus of the drilling included the Central Zone DCIP anomaly and a six-channel EM anomaly located 1,400 meters northeast [2] Key Geological Findings - Anomalous gold was observed across more than 3 kilometers along a newly recognized northeast-trending structural corridor, with significant mineralization found in four of the six drill holes [7][10] - Gold concentrations reached up to 160 parts per billion (ppb) in zones of intense shearing, with mineralization associated with disseminated sulfides [8] - The presence of anomalous gold and sulfide-rich veins indicates an epizonal, intrusion-associated gold system, consistent with known productive gold belts in Ontario [10][14] Expansion of Project Understanding - The drilling has expanded the mapped extent of the prospective greenstone belt by an additional 2 kilometers north, enhancing the understanding of regional mineralization controls [9][13] - The structural environment is characteristic of both Marmion and Quetico gold systems, where mineralization occurs in greenstone belt and granitic host rocks [15] Future Exploration Plans - The company plans to conduct detailed structural analysis and geochemical surveys to identify potential high-grade zones and define detailed targets [16]
