VR Resources Ltd. reported results from ongoing metallurgical work for rare earth element mineralization (REE) at the company's Hecla-Kilmer ("H-K") project in northern Ontario. New chemical data from laser ablation ICP-MS on the Hole 13 bulk sample confirms that the phosphate mineral apatite is uniquely enriched in REE. The apatite plays a dual role in REE mineralization: its crystal structure is uniquely enriched in REE, and; it has small inclusions of the phosphate mineral monazite with ~60 wght% TREO and parasite/synchysite fluorocarbonate minerals with ~30 wght% TREO.

Apatite contains around 80% of all REE mineralization at H-K, with an average concentration of 7.3% TREO;. Permanent magnet REEs (PMREO) are up to 25% of TREO in the apatite, and are enriched in neodymium compared to the finer grained REE-bearing minerals monazite and parisite;. Crushed drill core assay rejects from the 461 metre intersection of continuous REE mineralization in Hole 013 were submitted to the SGS Lakefield laboratory in Ontario in May as a bulk sample for a mineralogical, beneficiation and metallurgical study.

SGS is a recognized world leader in mineralogical and metallurgical studies on REE mineral systems. The intersection used for the bulk sample includes: 361 m @ 0.96 % TREO(1) of which 20% are PMREO(2) and 2% P2O5 and including: 39 m @ 2.01 % TREO with 22% as PMREO. The new chemical data on apatite are from TESCAN Integrated Mineral Analyzer (TIMA) analyses. Eight initial representative samples spanning the 361 metres of REE mineralization were crushed, sorted and analyzed with TIMA for elemental and mineral mapping of grains ahead of beneficiation studies.

Technical information for the Company's various exploration properties is available at the Company's website at .VR submits sawn drill core samples for geochemical assay to the ALS Global Ltd. ("ALS") laboratory facilities in Timmins or Thunder Bay, Ontario, with final geochemical analytical work done at the ALS laboratory located in North Vancouver, BC., including lithium borate fusion, ICP-MS and ICP-AES analyses for base metals, trace elements and full-suite REE analysis, and gold determination by atomic absorption on fire assay.
