VR Resources Ltd completes Phase II drilling at its Reveille silver-copper property in Nevada

Four holes were completed for a total of 1,552 metres. The current drilling follows up on the geochemistry from the four Phase I drill holes completed in March, and it tests the Kawich anomaly that was delineated in the expanded 3D array, DCIP geophysical survey completed in May (see previous news release dated June 29^th).

Drilling production was strong and the four holes were completed in less than two weeks. Continuous geochemical sampling was done on each hole in its entirety, and the samples have already been received by ALS in Reno. Data are not anticipated until the end of the summer. In the meantime, the Company will complete LWIR and SWIR hyperspectral scans of all of the drill chips in order to map alteration minerals in detail.

From VR's CEO, Dr. Michael Gunning, "Although the start-up of this drilling was delayed, the production speaks for itself and contributed to a very efficient all-in program and budget. Overall, we are pleased to have the first-pass drilling of our primary targets at Reveille for the Phase I and II programs completed this early in 2021.

The key initial finding from this program is the intersection and confirmation of sulfide at both of the IP anomalies that we tested. It is hosted in hydrothermally altered and replaced limestone. The sulfide generally occurs on bedding plane fractures, with quartz and calcite vein stockworks and hydrothermal breccias developed on major structures and at lithologic contacts. We do not anticipate the geochemical data from sampling until the end of the summer, but there is much work to do in the meantime integrating the drill logs, the structural data from down-hole televiewer technology, and the alteration mineral data from hyperspectral scanning utilized on this program.

We tested the new IP anomaly at Kawich in the second two holes of the program. Both holes achieved depths of around 450 m, and both intersected >150 m intervals of sulfide, starting at 120 m depth, which was the modeled depth-to-top of the IP anomaly. Altered but relatively impermeable volcanic flows cap the intersections and are clearly an important aquitard and focusing agent to the mineralizing fluids. The sulfide stringers, semi-massive seams and disseminated grains are hosted in black, de-calcified and dolomitized lime mudstone of the Devil's Gate Formation, for which neither drill hole crossed the lower contact.

I encourage you to take a moment to examine the sulfide habits, hydrothermal carbonate replacement and breccia textures, vein minerals and oxidized iron sulfide evident in Photo 2 which illustrate the nature of this IP anomaly and the potential of this target. These intersections appear to have both the breadth and the intensity to represent a center for the Reveille mineral system which produced the distal but high grade showings in the hills to the east which attracted all of the historic work in the district. This drilling has only reinforced our conviction to continue to explore previously unrecognized targets like Kawich that are located under the covered valley to the west.

With regard to the first two holes of the Phase II program (holes 5 and 6 shown in Figure 1), our goal was to explore the roots of the G1 breccia pipe intersected in the diamond drill hole RVD21-001 completed in May. The initial drill logs show us an improved framework for the structural and stratigraphic control of this target. While we await the geochemistry from this drilling, our interest is heightened in the results from the geochemical samples of the previously completed diamond drill hole, which we anticipate receiving later this month.

We look forward to providing further updates as we receive geochemical data through the summer and formulate plans for further drilling which we now anticipate for Reveille based on our initial observations from this drilling."

VR submits all surface grab samples and/or drill core samples collected from Nevada-based exploration projects for geochemical analysis to the ALS Global ("ALS") laboratory in Reno, Nevada. Sample preparation is completed in Reno. Analytical work includes ICP-MS analyses for base metals and trace elements completed at the ALS laboratories located in Vancouver, BC., and gold determination by fire assay atomic absorption spectrometry completed at facilities in Reno, Nevada. Analytical results are subject to industry-standard and NI 43-101 compliant QAQC sample procedures at the laboratory, as described by ALS, and with standard, duplicate and blank samples inserted internally by VR.

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., Exploration Manager & Chief Geologist at VR and a non-independent Qualified Person oversees and/or participates in all aspects of the Company's mineral exploration projects and has reviewed the content of this news release.

About the Reveille Property

The Reveille property is located approximately 90 km east of Tonopah, Nevada. Access is via Highway 6, with local roads and trails in and around the property itself.

The Reveille property consists of 78 mineral claims in one contiguous block covering 1,586 acres (642 hectares) over an area of approximately 2 x 3 km. The property is on federal land administered by the BLM, and is outside of the BLM's broadly defined area of sage grouse protection. There are no underlying annual lease payments on the property, nor are there any joint venture or carried interests on the property. There is an industry-standard royalty attached to the property, with a standard buy-back provision to VR.

Stock Option Allocation

The Company has approved the allocation of 1,425,000 incentive stock options at a price of $0.45 and exercisable for a period of five years to various directors, officers, employees and consultants, and in accordance with the terms of the Company's Stock Option Plan. The allocation includes 1,190,000 incentive options to Directors and Officers of the Company.
