VMS Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:VMS) ("VMS") is pleased to announce drill and assay results from the initial in-fill diamond drill program at the Reed Lake deposit, near Snow Lake, Manitoba, Canada. These results are from holes RDL009 to RDL014 inclusive. They were designed to test the zinc -- copper rich lens (zone 30) located near surface. See figure 1, below, which is a plan view of the diamond drill holes and mineralized zones.

Neil Richardson, VMS'' Chief Operating Officer, states: "The results for the upper zinc - copper rich lens (zone 30) are very encouraging as they show that the deposit comes within 30 metres of surface, which suggests it is amenable to ramp development and early production from an underground operation. The results emphasize the metal zonation in this polymetallic deposit which, in addition to copper and zinc, also carries appreciable amounts of gold and silver. Metal zonation and significant precious metal credits are common characteristics of massive sulphide deposits in the Snow Lake camp."
