VR Resources (OTCQB: VRRCF) received a Nevada BLM Notice of Intent drill permit on March 19, 2026, 15 business days after submission for its New Boston moly-tungsten-copper-silver porphyry project.
The permit covers eight potential drill sites at Jeep Mine along a 3–4 km strike. Field planning and reclamation bonding are underway for an approximately 1,500 m first-pass drill program to test IP and conductivity anomalies.
VR Resources (OTC: VRRCF) completed a 3D-array DCIP geophysical survey over the Copper Queen target at the Bonita porphyry copper-gold project in Nevada on March 12, 2026. The grid covers ~1.5 x 3.5 km, with 3D resistivity ~187,000 data points and IP ~135,500 points, and modeled depth to ~400 m. The survey was completed on time and on budget and is designed to vector follow-up drilling to a possible buried alkaline porphyry stock beneath an interpreted lithocap.
VR Resources (OTC:VRRCF) agreed Feb 25, 2026 to sell its 100% interest in the Empire and Silverback copper‑nickel‑PGM projects in NW Ontario to Athos Metals.
Consideration includes 9.9% of the Resulting Issuer post go‑public plus $400,000 cash ( $200,000 non‑refundable on signing). Athos plans a spring VTEM+ survey and at least 2,000m follow‑up drilling; closing is conditional on Exchange and other approvals.
VR (OTC:VRRCF) has submitted a Notice of Intent drill permit application to the Nevada BLM for the New Boston moly-tungsten-copper-silver porphyry project, targeting the Jeep Mine area on the western porphyry system.
VR cites prior 2024 drilling that showed copper and silver mineralization in more than 1,500 ft of core at East Zone, a 3–4 km surface strike, DCIP geophysical targets, and planned spring 2026 drilling contingent on permit timing.
VR Resources (OTC:VRRCF) has started a 3D-array DCIP geophysical survey over the Copper Queen target on its Bonita porphyry copper-gold project in Nevada, with field work begun in February 2026.
The survey was scoped in fall 2025, refined with Dias Geophysical, and aims to vector follow-up drilling based on previous mapping and 2017 reconnaissance drilling.
VR Resources (OTC: VRRCF) has contracted DIAS Geophysical to run a DIAS32 3D-array DCIP and resistivity ground survey over the Copper Queen target on the Bonita porphyry copper-gold project in Nevada.
The survey design was scoped in fall 2025, leverages prior DIAS work on VR properties, and aims to refine precise drill targets tied to porphyry-style copper-sulfide veining and anomalous copper-gold geochemistry from 2017 reconnaissance drilling.
VR noted an oversubscribed $3.15M financing led by Centurion One Capital and approved 1,950,000 incentive stock options at $0.25 exercisable for five years. Survey timing depends on field logistics.
VR Resources (VRRCF) has announced new geochemical data from its Silverback Project in Northwest Ontario, revealing significant trends in copper-gold mineralization. The analysis, based on core samples from two scout drill programs across three target areas (West Dyke, Central Zone, and North Arm), shows promising results including:
Key findings include up to 0.34% copper and 2.6 g/t silver alongside 65 ppb gold in a quartz-sulfide vein at the NA target. The study identified elevated arsenic over antimony ratios and anomalous gold in the strongest shear zones, indicating northeast structures are concentrating gold-bearing fluids. Notably, tungsten over molybdenum ratios increase toward the southwest, suggesting cooler, gold-bearing fluids around the WD target.
The company plans to conduct further exploration through trenching and till sampling in the upcoming field season, focusing on untested geophysical DIGHEM conductors and DCIP chargeability anomalies along the 3km structural corridor.
VR Resources (VRRCF) has completed its first winter drill program at the Silverback copper-gold project in Northwestern Ontario, with six holes totaling 1,342 meters. The drilling program revealed shear-zone hosted quartz veins containing pyrite, chalcopyrite, and anomalous gold in four of six holes.
Key findings include anomalous gold up to 160 ppb in all zones of intense shearing, with mineralization discovered in Holes 5-6 (aligned with high-grade surface showing in central CZ zone) and Holes 7-8 (near a 1980's OGS 6-channel EM anomaly). The results indicate an epizonal, intrusion-associated orogenic mineral system with gold correlating with elevated copper and silver geochemistry.
The drilling has expanded the mapped extent of the prospective greenstone belt by 2km north and identified new structural splays from the Quetico Fault System. The company plans to conduct detailed structural analysis and geochemical surveys to identify high-grade zones and define detailed targets.
VR Resources (VRRCF) has announced results from its maiden reconnaissance drill program at the Westwood Target within the Empire Project in Northwestern Ontario. The drilling confirmed a fertile, multiphase mafic-ultramafic intrusion spanning over 900m with magmatic cumulate textures and sulfide segregation.
Key findings include:
- PGE mineralization with 1m intervals showing 262, 138, and 118 ppb Pd+Pt on the basal contact in Holes 4 and 5
- Copper-nickel mineralization reaching 0.09% Cu and 0.11% Ni with anomalous PGE at 320m depth in Hole 2
- Evidence of sulfide saturation and Ni-Cu-PGE depletion, movement, and enrichment within cumulate textured mafic rocks
The company's exploration technologies have proven effective, with DIGHEM-magnetic surveys and IP chargeability successfully identifying mineralization targets. The data confirms the Cu-Ni-PGE mineral deposit model for Westwood, and these exploration methods will be applied to other Empire project targets, including Trewartha and Mack.
VR Resources (VRRCF) has completed its first winter drill program at the Silverback copper-gold project in Northwestern Ontario. The program included six holes totaling 1,342 meters, targeting the Central Zone and North Arm areas. Key findings include:
- Consistent mafic-ultramafic host rocks and porphyry intrusive phases across 3km strike
- Widespread shearing, alteration, and veining in all drill holes
- Correlation between structures in geophysical data and core samples
- Discovery of northeasterly shear zones with north-northeasterly splays
- Evidence of at least two deformational events
Drill core samples have been sent to AGAT laboratory in Thunder Bay for analysis. The company plans to continue developing and testing targets related to DIGHEM conductors and high-amplitude chargeability anomalies on key structural trends for potential copper-gold mineralization.
