Dear VMS followers,

Great news this morning.

Our Reed Copper project has commenced production.

Congratulations to our geo team and the Hudbay team for making it happen on time and on budget.

It is now six years since VMS’ high grade Reed discovery hole was announced. For some shareholders that seems a long time ago, but given mine building schedules around the world these days, Reed has gotten to production remarkably quickly. We will keep you posted

The entire release and a picture of the first truck load of ore from Reed is below.

Best regards, 

Rick Mark
CEO 
VMS Ventures Inc. 

VMS owns 27.5% of NAN 

 







Reed Copper Project Commences Initial Production

Vancouver, B.C., October 1, 2013 VMS Ventures Inc. (TSX-V:VMS) (“VMS Ventures” or the “Company”) is pleased to update shareholders on the progress made at the Reed Copper Project, near Flin Flon Manitoba. VMS Ventures owns 30% of the project and is carried to production. Hudbay Minerals Inc. (TSX:HBM)(NYSE:HBM) ("Hudbay") owns 70% and is the Operator.

VMS Ventures announced today that joint venture partner and operator Hudbay has received the Environment Act Licence for the Reed Copper Project from the Manitoba government and has commenced initial production. The licence permits the operation of the Reed mine, a 1,300 tonnes/day underground copper mine, and its supporting infrastructure.

Hudbay has informed VMS that a bulk sample of approximately 7,000 tonnes of ore was mined under the Advanced Exploration Project permit and a metallurgical batch test of 4,500 tonnes of ore was milled in late September at Hudbay's Flin Flon concentrator. The 7,000 tonnes of ore, from the upper Zone 30, was mainly mined on 65 m Level with only 1 round (approximately 300 to 400 tonnes) taken on the 45 m Level. 

Full production remains on the planned schedule to commence in first half of 2014 and the project remains within the estimated budget parameters.

Neil Richardson, VMS Ventures' COO states: "The receipt of the Environment Act Licence and the successful extraction of the bulk sample are both significant milestones for the project. The Licence confirms the care and diligence taken by our JV partner and operator Hudbay in moving the project forward within mandated environmental guidelines while the extraction of the bulk sample project is the first step towards full production at Reed”.
