VR Resources Ltd. Acquires New Boston Property, Nevada

29.08.2017  |  GlobeNewswire
VANCOUVER, Aug. 29, 2017 - VR Resources Ltd. (TSX.V:VRR) (FSE:5VR), the "Company", or “VR”, is pleased to announce an expansion of its copper-gold exploration strategy in Nevada with the acquisition of the New Boston property, located approximately 100 km southeast of the Yerington porphyry copper camp in the Walker Lane structural belt in west-central Nevada, USA.

The current drill program at the Company’s Bonita property continues to be the principal focus of the Company’s copper-gold exploration in Nevada. The company will leverage its experience and focus on porphyry systems in western Nevada over the past 5 years to explore and evaluate the copper-moly porphyry system and skarn mineralization at New Boston. More specifically, the acquisition builds upon the Company’s past porphyry exploration at its nearby Yellow Peak property (see accompanying photo).

The New Boston property consists of 17 claims in one contiguous block covering 351 acres (142 hectares). It is located in Mineral County, approximately 150 kilometres southeast of Reno, Nevada.

The broad terms of the proposed acquisition include:

- Agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the New Boston property (“the acquisition”) from Nevada Select Royalty, Inc. (“Nevada Select”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ely Gold & Minerals Inc. (“Ely Gold”) (TSX-V:ELY) (OTC:ELYGF), pursuant to a binding acquisition agreement dated August 28, 2017.

- An initial payment of US$10,000 and 50,000 shares in the capital of VR to Ely on closing of the Acquisition (the “Closing”).

- Payment of 50,000 shares in the capital of VR to Ely Gold if VR completes a diamond drill program on the New Boston property. If a drill program is not completed within 18 months of Closing, the property and any new exploration data will be returned to Ely Gold.

- Nevada Select will be granted a Net Smelter Returns royalty of 2% on Closing, subject to VR’s right to buy down up to one half of the royalty for US$500,000 per half a percent.

- An Area of Interest of 2 miles extending from the current property boundaries.

- Closing subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.

The property location affords both year-round and cost-effective exploration. Access is from the town of Luning on HWY 95 just 5 kilometres to the east. The property itself is criss-crossed by a myriad of old trails and roads, topography is subdued, and vegetation is sparse.

The New Boston mineral system is well established, with copper sulfide, copper oxide and sheeted quartz veins exposed at-surface over a 5 kilometre trend, hosted in both intermediate intrusive rocks, and in sedimentary country rock. Artisanal mining at the turn of the century focused on high grade W-Mo-Cu-Ag skarns at the west end of the system. Deep Mo-Cu porphyry mineralization was the exploration focus of major mining companies in the 1970’s in the central part of the system. VR will focus on well mapped but less explored vein and breccia systems on the east end of the system.

More detailed information on the geology and exploration potential at New Boston will be provided when VR’s planned exploration commences later this year.


The Bonita Property

The Bonita property is large, encompassing a district of historic copper, gold and iron workings (see “satellite image” under Bonita Property at www.vrr.ca). The workings are unified by a single, district-scale hydrothermal system with a large, mappable alteration footprint covering the entire property, within which copper sulfide and gold mineralization has been sampled by VR over an area of about 4 x 5 kilometres. The current drill program will test four of eight specific, robust exploration targets for porphyry copper-gold mineralization, based on the integration of geological mapping, mineral alteration vectors, rock and soil geochemical anomalies, and gravity, magnetic, resistivity and IP chargeability geophysical anomalies established by VR over three years of successive exploration programs.
