VR Reports New REE Intersections at Hecla-Kilmer, Confirms Apatite-Monazite REE Mineralogy from Initial Bulk Sample Results, and is Awarded a Third Ontario OJEP Critical Metals Exploration Grant

VR Resources Ltd.

Vancouver, BC - October 17, 2023 - TheNewswire - VR Resources Ltd. (TSX.V:VRR) (FSE:5VR) (OTC:VRRCF), the " Company ", or “ VR ”, is pleased to report results for the recent, spring 2023 drill program as well as the initial results on mineralogy from the bulk sample extraction and beneficiation study for rare earth element mineralization (REE) at the company’s Hecla-Kilmer (“H-K”) project in northern Ontario. REE critical metals were discovered at Hecla-Kilmer in the very first reconnaissance drill program in 2020, with 24 holes completed to-date, including the three from this spring as shown in Figure 1. Broad intersections with carbonatite dykes and vein breccia were obtained in two of the three new drill holes. The composite intersection for hole 024 is shown in Table 1, the evolving assay table for all 24 holes completed to date at Hecla-Kilmer. Most importantly, hole 024 at Pike Zone intersected a series of six vein and vein breccia zones with > 1% TREO. Mineralogy Drill core from the entire intersection in Hole 013 was submitted in May to the SGS Lakefield laboratory in Ontario as a bulk sample for a mineralogical, beneficiation and metallurgical study. SGS is a recognized world leader in mineralogical and metallurgical studies on REE mineral systems. The intersection includes: 361 m @ 0.96 % TREO (1) of which 20% are PMREO (2) within 461 m @ 0.85 % TREO + 0.13% Nb 2 O 5, starting at bedrock surface, and including: 39 m @ 2.01 % TREO within 66.6 m @ 1.57 % TREO with 20% as PMREO. The hole ended with 2 m @ 2.84 % TREO and 1.1 g/t gold. The new mineralogy data are from TESCAN Integrated Mineral Analyzer (TIMA) analyses. Eight initial representative samples spanning the 361 metres of REE mineralization were crushed, sorted and analyzed with TIMA for elemental and mineral mapping of grains ahead of beneficiation studies. Initial results indicate that 80% of the REEs are contained within the phosphate mineral apatite, with the remainder hosted in monazite, a phosphate, and parisite - synchysite, fluorocarbonates, which themselves occur most commonly as fine grained inclusions in apatite. The results underscore the volume potential for REEs at Hecla-Kilmer based on the sheer breadth of phosphate intersections containing REE as shown on the satellite image in Figure 2. The new REE mineralogy from the bulk sample is consistent with previous data: Figure 3. The strong correlation between P205 and %PMREO in ICP-MS geochemical data from >1,500 geochemical samples from all 24 drill holes completed to date. Figure 4. On-site, XRF and SWIR scanning of whole drill core in 2021 showed the correlation between TREO and P2O5 in the near-surface mineralization in Hole 004. The new REE mineralogy from the bulk sample does not change from surface to 460m depth: Figure 5. Drill core photo and QEMSCAN image of hydrothermal apatite-monazite-magnetite-pyrochlore with REE minerals at the top of Hole 004, near bedrock surface at Pike Zone. Figure 6. Drill core photo and SEM backscatter image of monazite inclusions in apatite in hydrothermal magnetite-biotite-carbonate vein breccia with REE in Hole 013 some 174 m below near-surface mineralization of the same character in Hole 004. The new REE mineralogy at Pike Zone is consistent with the South Rim located 2.5 km to the south. Figure 7. SEM backscatter image showing REE-bearing monazite inclusions within apatite in the South Rim zone located 2.5 km south of Pike Zone. SGS reports that the 5-7 weight % REE contained in apatite at H-K is unique, even amongst other igneous deposits mined for phosphate in apatite. Further, the igneous apatite at H-K is pristine compared to the apatite in the world's sedimentary deposits mined for phosphate. OJEP Grant The Company was informed by the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry (“MNDM”) on August 23, 2023, that its application to the Ontario Junior Exploration Program for critical metals, OJEP, was successful for the third consecutive year. The grants cover 50% of exploration costs up to a maximum of $200,000. From VR’s CEO, Dr. Michael Gunning, “ The new intersections are simply reinforcing the breadth of the polymetallic REE mineralization including P 2 0 5 and Nb 2 O 5 at Hecla-Kilmer, as illustrated on the satellite image in Figure 2. While we are only seeing glimpses of 1-3% TREO vein mineralization away from the 461 m continuous intersection starting from surface in Hole 13, the data from the new drill holes once again confirm the unusually high, 20% proportion of TREO as the high value PMREO (permanent magnet) REO at Hecla-Kilmer, a proportion that is maintained both across the hydrothermal system from South Rim to Pike Zone some 2.5 km to the north, and vertically, from surface to greater than 450 m depth at Pike Zone. The new mineralogy date are no surprise. They are entirely consistent with results obtained from each of the state-of-the-art technologies that have been utilized since 2020, the very beginning of our exploration at Hecla-Kilmer, in order to better understand the REE mineralization, including whole-core XRF scanning by GeologicAI, QEMSCAN mineralogy by SGS, ICP-MS geochemistry utilizing lithium-borate fusion for trace REE detection by ALS, and scanning electron microprobe analyses of individual mineral grains by RGS Inc. in London. Canada is plagued with REE discoveries made during the past 60 years that have never been developed because of the difficulty in extracting and recovering REE’s contained in silicate and/or refractory minerals; the REE mineralogy at Hecla-Kilmer is a clear distinction. Finally. I wish to convey my sincere appreciation to the Ontario MNDM for the recognition and support of our Hecla-Kilmer project through the OJEP critical metals exploration grant program. The grants make a material difference to advancing this discovery.

Andrew Brown AKA Doctor Troller Becomes Top 3 Richest NFT Artist With Net Worth Of £280 Million GBP

Doctor Troller

Doctor Troller's Net Worth, Bio, Wiki: How Much The NFT Artist Made From Crypto Art Who is Doctor Troller? Chelsea-based digital artist "Doctor Troller" is the alter ego of a creative street troller and prankster borne from the streets of London. Doctor Troller is currently one of the world's top 3 richest NFT artists, with a net worth valued at £280 million GBP in 2023. The crypto artist made headlines in April 2021 when he sold £20,000 GBP worth of NFTs in 20 seconds after launching his digital artwork online. What's Doctor Troller's Real Name? Doctor Troller's real name is Andrew Brown. Doctor Troller's Bio & Background Born and raised in London, digital artist and prankster Andrew "Doctor Troller" Brown is known for his disruptive visual and multimedia art style. Based in Chelsea, his inflammatory videos and surreal digital art pieces are designed to ignite controversy and spark debate. A troller from birth, the artist had a strong affinity for art as a child. Although he didn't draw or paint, his dyslexia drove him to innovate beyond traditional art forms, bridging art and body together. Doctor Troller has described his creative drive as "a passion of expression through physical action to trigger controversy" - in other words, he creates controversial art specifically to enjoy its reactions. Doctor Troller's Net Worth Doctor Troller's net worth rose to £200 million GBP in 2021 due to the boom in NFT (Non-Fungible Token) popularity. Although it isn't known exactly how much Doctor Troller was making before, we know that his source of wealth stems primarily from being an avid Cryptocurrency investor and NFT artist. Despite the recent drop in Bitcoin valuations, Doctor Troller has become one of the top 3 richest NFT artists in the world. Doctor Troller's Crypto Art Doctor Troller's NFT crypto art is typically sold via NFT marketplaces, like OpenSea. However, as the recent record-breaking £69.3 million GBP NFT sale for Beeple's crypto art at Christie's Auction House proves, an appetite for crypto art exists in the traditional art world. Doctor Troller's art pieces are usually conceived as a video before developing into varying forms of digital art. The digital artist often depicts real life interactions between himself and female characters in startling, controversial forms within unusual settings that provoke powerful emotional reactions and kindle debate. Often these forms are sexually provocative and explicit. Some of Doctor Troller's recent crypto art pieces include 'Booty Shot', a unique piece of risqué, tongue-in-cheek animated NFT art designed in London. This piece deconstructs its title: the urban slang and filmmaking term 'Booty Shot'. In typical self-portraiture style, 'Booty Shot' sees Doctor Troller himself appear in the image, as in the majority of his other NFT art works. Another recent piece is 'Lightzilla', a suggestive moving-image work presents a comic-book style scene featuring the artist voyeuristically spectating from behind an unknown woman as she — either in pain or pleasure — massages her leg calves with an electric gun. 'Leather's Babe' is another unique NFT art piece by Doctor Troller, is a controversial moving image artwork. As per Brown's typical surreal, inflammatory artistic style, the piece is intended to spark debate as to whether the woman in question is being empowered or degraded. Doctor Troller and Global Press Coverage Andrew "Doctor Troller" Brown has been featured in a number of leading world media websites and news publications including the Evening Standard, The Daily Mail and Yahoo! Finance, among others. Doctor Troller made headlines in May 2021 after an "experiment in human nature" led to thousands of pounds of art being stolen from his open-air 'Honest Gallery'. Brown, who set up the Honest Gallery in Soho's Berwick Street, left four works of art hanging beside a collection box asking art lovers to pay what they could for pieces they wanted. CCTV footage from the London venue showed the first piece was stolen within an hour and all four pieces were gone by the end of the afternoon. Even the gallery signs were taken. All proceeds from the box were set to go to charity: the organisers honoured the promise and made a donation. Brown also made headlines in April 2021 when he sold £20,000 GBP of NFTs in 20 seconds after launching his animated artwork online. He released his new collection of 40 works for £500 GBP each on doctortroller.com, with items from each pool getting snapped up in seconds. With bold stylised images and sexual caricatures, Brown has gained nearly 1m social media followers, with his net worth steadily growing in value week to week. His vibrant digital art pieces have almost 100k views apiece. Artist Andrew Brown said: "The future of art is digital, and the lockdown has certainly sped up the transition away from physical artworks. This has been a great experience for me and should open up new opportunities for artists to be able to monetise their content outside of the traditional gallery model." Doctor Troller and NFTs We all witnessed Bitcoin suddenly plunge 30% to near £30,000 GBP in May 2021,which was an all time low in the midst of a major sell-off in the cryptocurrency market. However, this significant drop in Bitcoin value did not make a dent in Doctor Troller's net worth. Even though Brown's exact net worth isn't known, the skyrocketing popularity of NFTs gives us a pretty good picture. Even before 2021, Doctor Troller was already a wealthy NFT and cryptocurrency investor. But now, with Brown's net worth valued at over £280million GBP, he has become one of the top 3 wealthiest NFT artists in existence. History in the making. Doctor Troller recently released his latest series of digital art videos entitled 'A Troller's Parable'.

What Is the Best Gun Safe For My Car?

GOSAFE

With the growing prevalence of concealed carry, it is crucial for firearm owners to be well-informed about the restrictions on carrying firearms into certain buildings. Whether dictated by federal law, official policies of establishments like banks, or the preferences of privately owned businesses, there are times when firearms must remain secured in vehicles. To address this need and prevent theft, responsible gun owners are turning to car gun safes. Balancing Access and Security Selecting the right car gun safe involves striking a balance between accessibility and security. The chosen safe should feature a secure lock and provide a means of keeping the firearm discreetly out of sight within the vehicle. Various styles of safes cater to different preferences, offering ease of access, enhanced concealability, or robust security measures. The choice often depends on the vehicle's size and available storage space. Consider Your Vehicle's Interior Effective firearm storage in your car necessitates efficient utilization of available space. Larger vehicles like trucks and SUVs typically offer more room to work with, while smaller sedans may have limited space. Therefore, compact car safes are preferable, particularly if you regularly use vehicles of different sizes. 4 Ways to Secure a Handgun in Your Car Securing handguns when they are not on your person is a fundamental aspect of responsible firearm ownership. Car gun safes come in various types, including Go Safe Gun Locks, tie-down travel safes, vehicle-mounted gun safes, and concealed car safes. GoSafe Gun Locks: The GoSafe Mobile Safe is an innovative solution for securing a pistol in your vehicle. Unlike traditional gun safes, it secures the pistol through the magazine well, reducing overall size and allowing for layering with other safes for added security. This mobile option provides control over your firearm, even when using someone else's safe, whether in the car or elsewhere. Tie Down Travel Gun Safes: Lockable travel gun safes are a common choice, offering affordability and portability. These small, lockable containers are designed to meet air travel restrictions for firearms and can include a metal tie-down cable for added security. Careful research is essential to ensure durability and effective counter-theft features. Vehicle Mounted Gun Safes: These safes attach to the vehicle, often by bolting them to the frame. While they provide permanent or semi-permanent storage solutions, they may limit the available space in your car. Some vehicle-mounted safes fit between the console or in unused spaces, but the chosen location depends on your vehicle's design. Concealed Car Safes/Console Vaults: Concealed car safes and console vaults blend into your vehicle's interior, using obscurity to secure your firearm. They may replace or partially resemble existing vehicle components, such as headrests or console spaces. These options offer convenience but may limit space and come in varying designs to suit different vehicles.

7 Benefits of Using a Gun Lock: Ensuring Safety and Responsibility in Firearm Ownership

GOSAFE

Safety and responsibility are paramount when it comes to firearm ownership. Safeguarding firearms is a top priority, especially in households with children. Gun locks, a simple yet effective investment, offer multiple advantages beyond peace of mind. In this press release, we highlight the importance of gun locks and their seven significant benefits. What are Gun Locks? Gun locks are specially designed to secure firearms, particularly semi-automatic pistols, and they come in various forms. The most basic type is the cable lock, which is similar to bike locks and is threaded through the firearm's chamber, magazine well, and locking mechanism. While effective, this classic design lacks convenience and intuitiveness. Another option is the trigger lock, which covers the trigger and trigger guard, preventing the firearm from being fired. This is useful when keeping the firearm loaded is desired. Newer alternatives include the GoSafe Mobile Safe and the GoSafe Mobile Mag, both of which work like a regular magazine and block the pistol's trigger bar. The Mobile Safe is ideal for those needing to store an unloaded pistol, either due to local laws or personal preference. The Mobile Mag, on the other hand, offers security while retaining access to a loaded firearm for home defense. Benefits of Using Gun Locks Increased Safety and Security: Gun locks enjoy broad support from violence prevention groups, city councils, and concerned citizens, contributing to safer communities and reduced injury risks. Using gun locks proactively fosters goodwill within communities and helps destigmatize firearms ownership, paving the way for progress in firearm legislation and deregulation. Protection for Children: Gun locks, often referred to as firearm safety devices, provide essential safeguards to protect children from potential accidents. While proper firearm training is the best preventive measure, gun locks and products like the GoSafe Mobile Safe offer additional protection for very young children who may not yet understand firearm safety. Minimizing Accidental Firearm Discharge: Gun locks help reduce accidental discharges, which can result from factors like fatigue and inexperience. Storing firearms unloaded or locked reduces the risk of such incidents, enhancing overall safety. The Mobile Mag offers a convenient balance between safety and accessibility, allowing users to lock a loaded firearm without the need for constant unloading. Compliance with Local Gun Laws: Several states require firearms to be equipped with gun locks, safety storage devices, or gun safes. Using compliant locks and safes helps firearm owners avoid legal fines and penalties based on their location. Reducing the Risk of Unauthorized Use: Locks like GoSafe require keys that are typically accessible only to the lock's purchaser. This ensures that stolen firearms cannot be easily used and adds an extra layer of security in homes where unauthorized access is a concern. Potential Reduction of Insurance Premiums: Firearms insurance is vital, but its cost can be prohibitive. Using gun locks and safes can lower insurance premiums, as it demonstrates a commitment to firearm safety, akin to maintaining a clean driving record for auto insurance. Be sure to inform your insurance provider about the safety measures you have in place. Convenience and Flexibility: When a firearms safe or cabinet is unavailable, gun locks offer a convenient alternative. The GoSafe Mobile series, particularly the Mobile Mag, is exceptionally compact and intuitive, making it easy to secure your pistol in various locations, even while carrying concealed. Using a gun lock is more than an administrative task; it's a crucial step in preventing accidents and legal complications. The seven benefits outlined above highlight the importance of firearm safety and responsibility. Consider GoSafe's Mobile Safe and Mobile Mag as convenient and intuitive options for securing your firearms.

10 Best Glock Accessories Unveiled for Performance, Safety, and Customization

GOSAFE

Glock enthusiasts and firearm owners can now explore an array of top-notch accessories to enhance the performance, safety, and customization of their Glock pistols. Glock, known for setting the standard in modern handguns, offers a versatile platform that caters to the diverse needs of gun owners, be it competitive shooters, collectors, or individuals prioritizing self-defense. In light of this, we present the "10 Best Glock Accessories" to cater to every Glock owner's unique requirements. GoSafe Gun Lock Series: Adding an Extra Layer of Safety Safety is paramount when it comes to firearm ownership, and the GOSAFE Gun Lock series offers Glock owners an additional layer of security. This accessory ensures responsible firearm handling while providing easy access to your 9mm Glock. The series includes two primary options: GOSAFE Mobile Safe: This feature enables complete locking of your pistol when not in use, preventing any unauthorized access or ammunition insertion. The Mobile Safe ensures safe and secure storage when inserted into the magazine port. Mobile Mag: The Mobile Mag offers similar benefits but allows you to load your pistol, providing versatility for home and personal defense situations. It safeguards against accidental firearm use, particularly around children, offering peace of mind. Cleaning and Maintenance Supplies: A Must-Have for Glock Owners While Glock pistols are renowned for their reliability, proper maintenance is crucial. Over time, all firearms require cleaning to maintain peak performance. Glock owners are encouraged to keep spare parts, including recoil spring assemblies, trigger springs, and magazine catch springs, on hand for regular wear and tear. Cleaning kits with barrel-cleaning tools should also be part of every Glock owner's toolkit. Upgrades for Sights and Trigger: Elevate Performance with Ease One of the first upgrades Glock owners should consider is improving sights and triggers. These upgrades can significantly enhance performance with minimal permanent modifications. Glock triggers are easily installed, allowing for a lighter trigger pull that promotes accuracy. Sight upgrades range from dove-tail iron sights to modern red-dot optics, catering to individual preferences and lighting conditions. Gen 5 MOS Glocks come pre-milled for red-dot optics, with adapter plates available for other optic brands. Extended Magazines and Magwells: Ideal for Competitive Shooters Extended magazines and magwells are essential accessories for competitive shooters and law enforcement professionals. Extended magazines increase ammunition capacity, while base plate extensions aid in faster reloading. Flared magwells make magazine insertion easier and provide a better grip for enhanced performance. Customization for Grips: Tailor Your Glock to Your Hand Glock pistols offer a modular back strap system, allowing users to customize their grip for better ergonomics. While changing back straps is a non-permanent modification, stippling or grip reduction can further enhance control and retention. These customizations improve performance and match individual preferences. Holsters and Carrying Cases: Secure and Convenient Storage Glock owners have access to a wide range of Kydex holsters, including Inside-The-Waistband (IWB) and Outside-The-Waistband (OWB) options. Selecting a holster made from a single material minimizes the risk of material separation. For secure transportation, aftermarket pistol cases with effective locks are available. These cases are ideal for complying with jurisdictional regulations that mandate secure firearm transport in vehicles. Laser Sights and Flashlights: Enhance Low-Light Performance Flashlights and laser sights can be mounted on Glock pistols with under-rails. Flashlights illuminate dark areas, aiding in threat identification in low-light conditions. Visible lasers provide reference points for aiming, particularly in challenging situations. Slides and Barrels: Enhance Performance and Aesthetics Changing the slide or barrel of a Glock can enhance its overall appeal and performance. Slides with modifications such as lightening cuts optimize the pistol for light target loads. Fluting on non-threaded barrels improves heat dissipation, preventing potential impact shifts due to a hot barrel. Threaded Barrels and Compensators: Improve Control and Accuracy Threaded barrels allow attachment of compensators, which redirect muzzle blast to keep the pistol level. This results in faster and more accurate secondary shots. Be sure to check local laws regarding threaded barrels. Enhanced Trigger Components: Smooth and Reliable Trigger Pulls Enhanced trigger components can provide a smoother trigger pull. Glock triggers, while reliable, can benefit from upgrades such as trigger swaps, parts polishing, or ghost connectors. Glock owners are advised to choose one modification and test for reliability. With countless combinations of accessories available, Glock owners have the opportunity to tailor their pistols to their specific needs. The extensive aftermarket support for Glock ensures that there is an accessory or modification for every aspect of Glock ownership, from performance enhancements to personalized security solutions.

VR Discovers Diamonds in Two Separate Intervals in Hole 003 at Northway, 600 metres from the Discovery in Hole 001.

VR Resources Ltd.

Vancouver, BC - TheNewswire - September 28, 2023 - VR Resources Ltd. (TSX.V:VRR ) ( FSE:5VR ) ( OTC:VRRCF ), the " Company ", or “ VR ”, has received complete results from caustic fusion and mineralogy for all three drill holes completed into the kimberlite breccia pipe complex on its Northway property in Northern Ontario. Figure 1. Photos of microdiamonds 63m and 220m below the top of the kimberlite pipe in NW23-003. Microdiamonds were recovered in 2 separate intervals within drill hole NW23-003, the last of the three first-pass drill holes into the 1.2 km magnetic anomaly at Northway. The intersection spanned 354 metres of kimberlite, for 723 kg of sawn NQ (47.6mm diameter) sample material. There were no microdiamonds in 173 kg from NW23-002. Attributes for all four of the microdiamonds recovered in Hole 003 are the same as the microdiamond in Hole 001: transparent, colourless; clear, free of inclusions, and; fragment of a larger diamond. A +106 micron microdiamond was recovered at 335 m, with 3 additional +75 micron diamonds found from 488 – 510 m ( Table 1 ). They are hosted in pyroclastic kimberlitic breccia, KPK rock, characterized by: Concentrated chrome-diopside xenocrysts (core photographs in Figure 2 ); Xenoliths of dunite, pyroxenite, and glimmerite (core photographs in Figure 3 ), and; Autoliths of KPK rock (core photographs in Figure 4 ). Importantly, phlogopite xenocrysts and mineral grains within xenoliths plot within the kimberlite field on the Ti-Al plot ( Figure 5 ), and in the kimberlite-orangeite field on the Al-Fe plot, consistent with hole 001. Further, titanium-potassium richterite in magmaclasts indicate an upper mantle source for the kimberlite. Holes 002 and 003 were collared at the same site located approximately 450 m to the northwest of Hole 001 located near the eastern margin of the breccia pipe complex where a microdiamond was recovered in the crater facies of kimberlite mudstone at the top of the pipe (see NR23-18; Sept. 12, 2023). As such: Microdiamonds are present across 600 m of the breccia pipe complex (map in Figure 6 ), and; Microdiamonds are present over 220 vertical metres, starting at the top (profile in Figure 7 ). The boundary conditions for the 1.2 magnetic anomaly at Northway are consistent amongst an array of different plan maps and 3D inversion block models. That said, the new drilling shows that Northway may be either: a complex of separate, adjacent breccia pipes as implied in Figure 6, or; a single, rooted pipe that fans upwards into complex geometries at the top as implied in the profile in Figure 7. Regardless: Hole 001 transected only 30m of the top of the breccia pipe complex before the drill hole caved and was abandoned; the KPK rock below the maar-facies with microdiamonds is untested, and; A longer intersection of pyroclastic kimberlite breccia was achieved in hole NW23-003 located some 450 m to the northwest, but the breadth of the magnetic center remains untested. From VR’s CEO, Dr. Michael Gunning, “ It’s really quite something; Northway has produced microdiamonds in two of the first three reconnaissance drill holes ever put into the large breccia pipe complex, and more, both holes are arguably yet incomplete in terms of their vertical and lateral transect of the kimberlite. Scale is important. Fragments of clear, transparent and inclusion-free diamonds occur across some 600m of the breccia pipe complex, and over 220 metres vertically starting from the crater facies at the top. Composition is equally important. Like in Hole 001, the composition of the pyroclastic kimberlite diatreme breccia (KPK) in Hole 003 falls within the kimberlite– orangeite compositional range, with Ti-K richterite grains indicative of an upper mantle origin for the pipe. The results from the first three reconnaissance holes underscores the diamond potential at Northway in relation to the sheer volume of the breccia pipe complex itself, and in relation the number of targets around it, never previously explored or drilled and potentially representing a new field of Devonian-aged, diamondiferous kimberlite pipes in the northern Superior craton in northern Ontario, and located along the Ontario Northern railroad.

Initial results from two out of 13 samples of pelletal, accretionary diatreme breccia from drill hole NW23-003 were obtained by petrology and analysis by an electron microprobe (EMPA) equipped with an Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS) by Renaud Geological Consulting Ltd. (RGC) based in London, Ontario, with extensive experience in kimberlite exploration, geology and mineralogy. Preliminary observations include: Ti-K richterite, a mantle sourced amphibole, in a glimmerite magmaclast nodule; Fine grained diopside, a clinopyroxene, containing 0.15 wt% chrome; Deep crustal glimmerite xenoliths composed of massive phlogopite are common; Phlogopite xenocrysts and mineral grains in xenoliths plot within kimberlite fields on Ti-Al plots (Figure 5), and in kimberlite-orangeite field on Al-Fe plots; Accretionary lapilli are mainly biotite-phlogopite (now illite), surrounded by illite, dolomite-ankerite, F-apatite, and perovskite, and; Pelletal lapilli are hosted in a groundmass of carbonate, Ti-Ba-biotite-phlogopite including glimmerite nodules, F-apatite, Al-spinel, clinopyroxene, Nb-ilmenite, monazite and perovskite. Technical Information Summary technical and geological information for the Company’s various exploration properties is available at the Company’s website at www.vrr.ca. VR submits sawn drill core to the Saskatchewan Research Council through Geoanalytical Laboratories Diamond Services located in Saskatoon Saskatchewan (the “SRC”) in roughly 8 kg aliquot samples for sodium hydroxide dissolution and fusion. Residue and microdiamonds are sieved down to 75 microns, weighed, and assessed for colour, clarity and shape. Analytical results are subject to industry-standard and NI 43-101 compliant QAQC sample procedures, including the systematic insertion of tracer diamonds into each sample ahead of caustic fusion at the laboratory by the SRC. The SRC is an independent mineral processing facility which is accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard by the Standards Council of Canada as a testing laboratory for specific tests. Technical information for this news release has been prepared in accordance with the Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101. Justin Daley, P.Geo., VP Exploration and a non-independent Qualified Person oversees and/or participates in all aspects of the Company’s mineral exploration projects, and the content of this news release has been reviewed on behalf of the Company by the CEO, Dr. Michael Gunning, P.Geo., a non-independent Qualified Person. About the Northway Property and Project The Northway property is located in northern Ontario. It is approximately 12 km northeast of the Company’s REE critical metal discovery at its Hecla-Kilmer project. Exploration is based out of a camp at the hydroelectric facility at Otter Rapids located about 50 km to the southeast of Northway. Provincial Highway 634 provides road access to Otter Rapids from Smooth Rock Falls, located at the junction of HWY 634 with the Trans-Canada Highway. The property itself is just 15 km west of the Ontario Northern railway (ONR) which provides service to the communities on James Bay. The nearest town is Moosonee, located on tidewater at James Bay some 125 km to the north. Kapuskasing is about the same distance to the southwest, located on the Trans-Canada Highway (Provincial HWY 11). The Northway property consists of 64 contiguous claims in a single, 4 x 7 km block 1,315 ha in size. It was expanded to a district-scale project by staking directly 284 new claims in 19 additional properties covering magnetic anomalies near Northway and proximal to the ONR line, within an area of 50 x 70 km overall. The properties are owned 100% by VR. There are no underlying payments or interests on the property and no royalty interests because the property was staked by VR directly. Northway is located on crown land in northern Ontario, with mineral rights administered by the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry (“MNDM”). There are no annual payments, but the MNDM requires certain annual exploration expenditures and reporting. The property falls within the traditional territories of the Moose Cree and Taykwa Tagamou First Nations. About VR Resources VR is an established junior exploration company based in Vancouver (TSX.V: VRR; Frankfurt: 5VR; OTCQB: VRRCF). VR evaluates, explores and advances opportunities in copper, gold and critical metals in Nevada, USA, and Ontario, Canada, and most recently, a kimberlite breccia pipe discovery in northern Ontario. VR applies modern exploration technologies and leverages in-house experience and expertise in greenfields exploration to large-footprint mineral systems in underexplored areas/districts. The foundation of VR is the proven track record of its Board in early-stage exploration, discovery and M&A. The Company is well-financed for its mineral exploration and corporate obligations. VR owns its properties outright and evaluates new opportunities on an ongoing basis, whether by staking or acquisition. ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS: “Michael H.
