Dear VMS Followers,
In these challenging markets, we are committed to getting VMS Ventures exposure in as many forms as possible.
For the past year we have worked with Peak Communicators, British Columbia's largest independent Public Relations firm to raise awareness of VMS Ventures. We have recently renewed our contract with them as they were very successful in 2012 through reaching out to mining industry publications and, also, getting us started down the social media path. Our new contract includes North American Nickel, as well.
In 2012, Peak led us to getting coverage for VMS in 15 publications such as The Northern Miner, The Canadian Mining Journal and Business in Vancouver. To view these 2012 articles, please visit our Analyst and Press Coverage page on our website at: http://www.vmsventures.com/Newsroom/In-the-News/2012/default.aspx.
We have had two articles so far in 2013. One was in Mining Weekly on February 15, 2013 and was titled “VMS Ventures Reports Good Progress at Manitoba Development." The other was in the International Resource Journal and was titled "VMS Ventures:Sweet Deal." We have excerpted the International Resource Journal article for you below. The link to both articles is here: (http://www.vmsventures.com/Newsroom/In-the-News/default.aspx).
Peak also manages our social media profiles and we’d welcome your engagement. You can follow us on Twitter @VMSVenturesInc or a number of lists depending on your industry or investor interest, including:

VMS Ventures’ copper mine in Snow Lake will be 100% funded, constructed and operated by Canadian mining veterans HudBay Minerals, leaving the junior explorer free to seek out more opportunities.
A combination of technical savvy and luck led geologist John Roozendaal to discover the 2.55 Mt 4.52% copper deposit in Reed Lake, 50km from the mining town of Snow Lake in Manitoba, Canada. Although located in one of the world’s richest multi-metal mining locales, the deposit had been in hiding, waiting for the right time and the right people with the proper skills to come along. Roozendaal, who founded the company in 2000, and the team at VMS Ventures (TSX-V:VMS) got it right in their first drill program.
“We assembled a good team of people with geological knowledge of Manitoba, and identified the area around Flin Flon and Snow Lake as one of the world’s richest belts of VMS [Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide ore] base and precious metal deposits. The problem was that about half of the belt was covered by a thin layer of younger rock, meaning traditional prospecting over the last century had limited success,” he says.
“It’s only in recent years we’ve had access to a tool that allows us to look beneath this ‘cover’ rock for ore deposits not visible at surface. We applied today’s latest technology – using a helicopter system to look for metallic ore bodies – and identified one particular target that was only 100m off a main highway. I happened to be the geologist fortunate enough to be guiding the drill program when we intersected the high-grade copper deposit at Reed Lake”.
“It was a combination of great logistics, great timing in using new technology and, frankly, good instincts in following up on our hunches that allowed us to make this discovery in our first drill program. So a little bit of good luck goes a long way towards success.” CLICK HERE TO READ MORE
