Drill Program is Underway at VR's New Boston Moly-Tungsten-Copper-Silver Porphyry Project in Nevada

Canada NewsWire

VANCOUVER, BC, May 7, 2026 /CNW/ - VRResourcesLimited ("VR" or the "Company", (TSXV: VRR) (FSE: 5VR) (OTCQB: VRRCF) is pleased to announce that the drill program is underway on its New Boston moly-tungsten-copper-silver porphyry project in Nevada.

Plans are for approximately 1,500 metres of drilling in 2 – 3 holes to test the new IP and conductivity geophysical anomalies at Jeep Mine. More specifically, and most importantly, the new drilling will test where IP and conductivity attributes coincide, representing the potential center for both vein intensity and sulfide density within the large-footprint skarn and porphyry system at New Boston.

Photo 1 below shows the drill rig on site at the first planned drill hole. It is collared in a high temperature alteration zone of quartz-garnet stockwork veining. The hole will be inclined steeply to the southeast, into and across the Jeep Mine hill in order to test the coincident geophysical anomalies which plunge steeply across a panel of north-dipping limestone and sheeted monzonite dykes with sheeted and stockwork veins with moly, tungsten, copper and silver mineralization which are exposed on surface at the drill collar.

The program is anticipated to take approximately two months to complete, with geochemical results to follow in the summer. The program will benefit from state-of-the-art analytical work at facilities located in nearby Reno, Nevada, because of the logistical efficiencies afforded by the location of New Boston on Highway 95: 1. whole-core hyperspectral scanning and high-resolution photography will be completed systematically on all drill core by TerraCore Geospectral Imaging in order to document alteration chemistry and mineralogy and characterize vein geometries, and; 2. there will also be continuous sampling of all drill holes in their entirety for multi-element ICP-MS geochemistry at Paragon Geochemical.

Dr. Michael Gunning, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented from on site at New Boston, "We arepleasedto have the crewandrig onsite at New Boston,and the drillprogram underway.Our mission is toexecute immediately onthestateduseofproceeds fromour recentfinancings,inpursuitofnear-term value creation potential at the drill bit for our shareholders.

Our goal with this program is straight forward; to complete the first-pass drilling across the large-footprint, skarn and porphyry system that we started in 2024 at East Zone. We view the long intersections of continuousstockworkveiningwithcopperandsilverintersectedatEastZoneas onlythestartingpoint;we believe that the coincidence of IP and conductivity attributes at Jeep Mine to the west provide a vector to stronger vein intensity and sulfide concentration, and thus, the potential for a stronger polymetallic intersection including moly' and tungsten in addition to copper and silver.

We are ready: this drill program is based upon integrated vectors from three years of detailed surface exploration and airborne surveys by VR, built upon expert historical work in the 1960's and 70's.

Context

Prior to the submission of the NOI drill permit application for Jeep Mine, the inversion models for the state-of-the-art 3D array DCIP geophysical survey completed in 2023 were reviewed, for Best Practice, with the team at Dias Geophysical, a leading provider of geophysical services, during the recent AME Mineral Exploration Conference held in Vancouver. Co-spatial and steeply plunging conductivity and IP chargeability anomalies at Jeep Mine are now more precisely defined and better understood based on the review, and will be tested in the planned upcoming drilling as the potential vein and sulfide center of the overall skarn and porphyry system at New Boston.

Conductivity anomalies at East Zone identified in that same 2023 DCIP survey were drill tested in 2024 in the first leg of VR's first-pass drilling at New Boston. Copper and silver mineralization were intersected in continuous and intense stockwork veining in more than 1,500 ft of drill core in Hole 002. The planned drilling in the heart of the IP chargeability anomaly and coincident conductivity at Jeep Mine hopes to build upon those results in terms of the polymetallic grade potential of polyphase, stockwork veins with moly' and tungsten in addition to copper and silver.

Stock Option Allocation. The Company has approved an aggregate allocation of 200,000 incentive stock options at a price of $0.28 and exercisable for a period of five years to certain consultants to the Company, in accordance with the terms of the Company's Stock Option Plan.
