VMS has a 30% interest in the Reed Copper project joint venture.

VMS Ventures CEO, Rick Mark, remarked: "We are pleased with the results of the pre-feasibility study and how closely it compares to the PEA completed in December 2011. This demonstrates the robust nature of the Reed deposit. First production in Q3 - 2013 is good news for VMS shareholders. We will continue to add value to the project by evaluating trade-off studies, not included in the pre-feasibility, with Hudbay's mining team and remain optimistic about adding tonnage down dip at Reed. For those bullish on the copper price in 2014, and beyond, the cash flow projections are most encouraging."
