FLIN FLON GREENSTONE BELT Largest Proterozoic VMS District in the world. Most prolific greenstone belt in Canada in terms of $ value of production/km 2 . Continuous production for past 80 years 183 million tonnes from 27 mines. VMS mines/deposits rich in copper, zinc, gold and silver. Deposits typically occur in clusters. Gold mines/deposits throughout belt. MAP AREA A WORLD CLASS VMS CAMP SNOW LAKE BELT Lalor Lake (Hudbay) Reed Lake (VMS Ventures Inc.)
DISCOVERY PROGRESSION Early discoveries were made by prospecting. Recent discoveries made through a combination of geological and geophysical work. In addition to geology and geophysics VMS also employs cutting edge Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) geo-chemistry, which is particularly useful in the search for deposits beneath Phanerozoic cover. After K. Gilmore (Hudbay Minerals), 2009
VMS LAND POSITION IN THE SNOW LAKE AREA DOMINANT LAND POSITION More than 108,000 hectares of ground. RIGHT GEOLOGY Focused on juvenile arc rocks (shown here in medium green), juvenile arc rocks host all the mined VMS deposits in the Flin Flon – Snow Lake camp .
VTEM COVERAGE OVER VMS VENTURES’ PROJECTS Many recent discoveries, including VMS’s Reed Lake Deposit, were made with VTEM VMS Ventures has flown over 13,000 line-km of VTEM over its projects, majority flown at 100 m line spacing. 3 years and $3 million in work – ready to drill.

Possibly add a third drill to resurvey and cement previously drilled holes if required.
MORE MINERALIZATION AT REED LAKE?? Reed Lake Deposit produces strong, coincident VTEM EM and magnetic anomalies. Magnetic data suggest the deposit plunges northwest. VTEM EM anomalies do not follow magnetic anomaly along the interpreted plunge line, however; this is to be expected as steeply plunging mineralization would quickly exceed the vertical detection limit (~300 m) of the VTEM system.
