VMS Updates Progress With Ongoing Exploration Programs on Its 100% Owned Flin Flon-Snow Lake Greenstone Belt Properties, Manitoba

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 22, 2011) - VMS Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:VMS) ("VMS") is pleased to update its shareholders on the Company's ongoing exploration programs at its extensive 100% held property package in the Flin Flon – Snow Lake Greenstone Belt, Manitoba, Canada.

VMS EXPLORATION PROPERTIES

Copper Project

Drill testing of target anomalies scheduled for initial drilling in winter 2011 is now complete. A total of 2,560 metres were drilled in 7 holes on the Company's Copper project located approximately 30 km south of the mining community of Snow Lake, Manitoba. Drill core samples have been sent for base and precious metal assays with results expected in a few weeks.

Cowan River

The drill is now on the Cowan River project located 45 kilometres southeast of the town of Snow Lake and 8 kilometres east of Reed Lake JV/Option Property currently being explored by partner HudBay Minerals Inc. (TSX:HBM)(NYSE:HBM). VMS Ventures plans to drill three targets on this MEL based primarily on VTEM airborne geophysical anomalies with positive conductivity and associated magnetic signatures typical of all the base metal mines in the Snow Lake Greenstone Belt.

Morton Lake

The Morton Lake project is located 25 km west of Snow Lake and within 500 metres of the past-producing Dickstone copper-zinc deposit. A deep-penetrating, ground based Time Domain Electromagnetic geophysical survey was completed by Koop Geotechnical Inc. during the first quarter of 2011. The 54 line kilometre survey assessed a long portion of favourable stratigraphy that hosted the nearby Dickstone copper-zinc deposit. Geotech Ltd. completed 340 line kilometres "Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic" (VTEM – plus) airborne survey over the southern claim blocks. Upon review of the anomalies, a Mobile Metal Ion soil geochemistry survey will be completed and integrated into the drill targeting process.

Farwell

The Farwell project surrounds the McClarty Lake project of Troymet Exploration Corporation who announced a discovery on May 15, 2008 returning 1.47% zinc and 0.31% copper over 43.05 metres, including 3.46% zinc over 15.3 metres. Geotech Ltd. completed 3,581 line kilometres of (VTEM – plus) over the project in preparation of follow-up geochemical survey "Mobile Metal Ion" (MMI) and diamond drilling. VMS will determine its exploration strategy after Troymet's drilling is completed and announced.

Sails Lake

On January 11th 2011, the Company announced a gold discovery at its Sails Lake project featuring an intercept of 56.89 metres (186.65 feet) grading 1.21 grams/tonne gold. The mineralized zone occurs within 40 metres of surface.

A follow-up program of line-cutting and Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical surveys is now underway. Follow-up diamond drilling is proposed upon completion of the IP survey. Detailed geological mapping, prospecting for additional outcropping mineralization and Mobile Metal Ion geochemical soil sampling are planned for the spring/summer.

In 2011 approximately 12,000 metres of diamond drilling is planned for new base metal and gold targets throughout the Snow Lake property package.

VMS Reports Discovery of New High Grade Copper Zone Grading 7.44% Copper Over 7.18 Metres in Hole RLE006 Located 1.8 Kilometres Northeast of the Reed Copper Deposit

May 17, 2011 (Marketwire Canada) --

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- VMS Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:VMS) ("VMS") is pleased to announce the discovery of high grade copper on its Super Zone property. Hole RLE006 intersected two zones of mineralization within a bimodal (rhyolite / basalt) volcanic sequence located 1.8 kilometres northeast of the Reed Copper Deposit.

The first zone intersected 7.18 metres of 7.44% copper (from 133.89 to 141.07 metres) and a second zone intersected 44.49 metres of 0.79% copper and 0.39% zinc (from 214.00 to 258.49 metres). The initial hole in this zone was RLE004 targeting a 1 kilometre long VTEM airborne anomaly with coincident magnetics. This hole intersected 0.34 metres grading 5.41% Cu. The follow-up borehole pulse electromagnetic survey indicated two conductive targets and was followed up with discovery hole RLE006.

The Super Zone property is part of a parcel of properties adjacent to the Reed deposit which are under option to VMS' joint venture partner HudBay Minerals Inc. (TSX:HBM)(NYSE:HBM) ("HudBay"). HudBay has the right to earn a 70% joint venture interest in the option properties and, upon earning such interest, VMS would retain a 30% interest.

Neil Richardson, VMS' Chief Operating Officer states: "We are very excited with the potential of this high grade copper discovery on our Super Zone property. All of the largest deposits in the belt are associated with bimodal volcanism and this has all the earmarks of such a discovery. This discovery signifies the potential of a new camp emerging with our partner HudBay. HudBay is continuing exploration with two diamond drills testing geophysical and geological targets on the option properties. VMS management would like to congratulate the HudBay technical team for this discovery, which took place in their first drill program on the property."

Qualified Person

All technical information in this release has been reviewed by Dr. Mark Fedikow, P.Geo, who is the Qualified Person for the Company and Vice President of Exploration and Technical Services, VMS Ventures Inc.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control

Exploration core drilling was NQ size. The core was logged and mineralized intersections were marked for sampling and assaying by geologists and geotechnicians employed by HudBay's Hudson Bay Exploration and Development Company Limited (HBED) subsidiary. The marked intersections or intervals were sawn in half by a diamond saw and one half of the core was placed in plastic bags and tagged with unique sample numbers, while the second half was returned to the core box and stored. Each bagged core sample was transported to HudBay's Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Co., Limited (HBMS) subsidiary's assay laboratory in Flin Flon, Manitoba where it was dried, crushed and pulverized and a 250-gram sample was prepared for assaying at Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd., an independent company in Vancouver, B.C., or the HBMS assay laboratory. From each 250 gram sample 0.25 grams was removed and leached in aqua regia and analyzed by ICP-AES for Ag, Cu, Zn, As, Pb, Ni and Fe. Also from the 250 gram sample, 30 grams were removed for gold determination by fire assaying with an ICP-AES or gravimetric finish at the Acme laboratory or an Atomic Absorption or gravimetric finish at the HBMS laboratory.

Assaying integrity is monitored internally with a quality control program, which includes the use of assay sample standards, blanks, duplicates and repeats and externally through national and international programs. In addition, within each group of 20 core samples, one core sample has a second 250 gram split collected that was check assayed at a different laboratory, either the HBMS laboratory in Flin Flon or at the Acme laboratory in Vancouver, B.C. This news release provides core lengths and estimates of vertical thickness only. True widths are not provided. Where metal assays are provided for intersections they are either a single assay of a sample of the entire intersection length or a composite of assays calculated from interval weighted assays over the intersection length.

VMS Ventures Provides Exploration Target Update at the Reed Copper Deposit and Option Properties Near Snow Lake, Manitoba

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 18, 2012) - VMS Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:VMS) ("VMS") is pleased to announce an exploration update on targets around the Reed Copper deposit and four option properties.

The Reed Copper deposit is located 120 kilometres from Flin Flon, Manitoba and is the subject of a Joint Venture with HudBay Minerals (TSX:HBM)(NYSE:HBM) ("HudBay"). VMS owns 30% of the Reed Joint Venture.

VMS Ventures COO Neil Richardson, states: "2012 promises to be an exciting year with exploration and development planned for the Reed Copper deposit and surrounding exploration properties. The HudBay and VMS joint management committee have approved a budget for a 4,000 metre diamond drill program focusing on targets around the Reed Copper deposit and an additional 4,000 metres on the option properties, with a primary focus on the Reed North target.

Recent work by VMS and HudBay has resulted in the discovery of two additional mineralized zones within our option properties. These recent discoveries are further evidence supporting our belief in the camp scale potential at the Reed project. The drilling will occur as soon as freeze-up and site preparation is completed."

Reed Copper Deposit

The copper rich lens (Zone 10) at the Reed Copper deposit is still open down plunge. A proposed hole will be collared south of the deposit targeting the mineralization horizon approximately 600 metres below surface (see figure 1). Drill site preparation is on-going, but start-up is expected to be delayed due to the unusually mild winter weather and significant snow accumulation thus far. Additional targets are located just north of the deposit and are spatially associated with drill holes RD-08-45, RLD037 and RD-08-42DNP. Hole RD-08-42DNP is being re-surveyed with borehole time-domain geophysics using two different loop configurations to accurately determine the location of the anomaly for drill testing this winter.

Option Properties

VMS and HudBay are parties to four option agreements which grant HudBay the right to earn a 70% joint venture interest in properties held by VMS adjacent to the Reed Copper deposit. Among the exploration results from the option properties is the Reed North discovery, located 1.8 kilometres north of the Reed Copper deposit, which included 7.18 metres grading 7.44% Cu, 0.23% Zn, 0.48 g/t Au and 7.57 g/t Ag in hole RLE006 (see figure 2).

A borehole pulse EM survey compilation done for VMS by Koop Geotechnical outlined the Reed North multi-lens base metal discovery. To date, fourteen holes have been completed on this new discovery mainly focusing on the western portion of the anomaly. Whole rock geochemical analysis on the drill core indicates that the Reed Copper deposit and the Reed North zone are within the same lithological unit. This horizon is now the focus of an extensive TDEM geophysical survey planned for this winter between the Reed Copper and Reed North zones. HudBay will continue its drilling campaign focusing on the down plunge projection of the mineralized lens.

A second target area of interest is located 3.4 km to the northwest of the Reed Copper deposit. Drill holes RLE008 and RLE020 intersected base metal values of up to 3.34% copper and 2.94% zinc. A borehole pulse EM survey outlined a 400 metre long by 230 metre high modeled plate with hole RLE020 piercing the upper edge of this anomaly. This plate is largely un-tested and is also being considered for drilling within this winter's option property budget/plan.

A third area of interest is a surface pulse time-domain EM anomaly which is located between the historic Highway zone (discovered by Freeport McMoRan in 1970's) and the Reed Copper deposit. This 500 metre long anomaly was detected within favourable volcanic rocks and remains un-tested. The next step for this target is to construct a 3-D model of the anomaly to support in the design of the drill hole platform (see figure 3).

VMS Ventures Trenching Program Returns Assays of Up to 61.73 g/t Gold at Its Sails Lake Property Near Snow Lake, Manitoba
February 8, 2012 - 06:30:00 AM VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Feb. 8, 2012) - VMS Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:VMS) ("VMS") today announced results from a mechanical trenching, outcrop power washing, mapping and sampling program at its 100% owned Sails Lake Property in northwestern Manitoba.

Neil Richardson, VMS' Chief Operating Officer, states: "I am pleased with the results from our channel sampling program at Sails Lake and look forward to incorporating these results into our 3D IP/geological model. The Long Zone mineralization is still open to the east and high grade samples from the M-Zone are not drill tested. Both areas warrant follow-up work."

The program was carried out in August of 2011 in three main areas of the property named the Long Zone, M-Zone and the E-Zone. Each area consists of numerous large trenches that expose gold mineralization in association with quartz vein and bedrock-hosted blocky and acicular arsenopyrite. Host rock to the gold mineralization is a multi-phase tonalite-gabbro intrusion. The mineralized zones are marked by Induced Polarization (IP) chargeability anomalies and well developed Mobile Metal Ions soil geochemical anomalies.

The Long Zone trench uncovered two sets of quartz veins. One set trends in a northeasterly direction, is mineralized with arsenopyrite and appears to be the host for the gold mineralization with values of up to 61.73 g/t gold. The second set trends north-northwesterly and is barren. Two previous holes drilled by VMS beneath the Long Zone trench assayed 1.21 g/t gold over 58.89 metres core length (DDH SA-10-007) and 1.48 g/t gold over 13.41 metres core length (DDH SA-11-013). Channel sample results from the current program will be incorporated with our 3D IP data and drill data in the upcoming months. Two additional trenches were excavated at locations 35 metres and 75 metres from the main trench at the Long Zone. These new trenches uncovered a large broad northeast-trending shear zone with lesser gold values of up to 0.31 g/t. This shear zone is interpreted to be a late feature and unrelated to the main gold mineralizing event.

The M and E Zone trenches exposed gold mineralization associated with quartz veins in a tonalite intrusion with values of up to 13.58 g/t. These gold values are associated with blocky to acicular arsenopyrite and similar to the Long Zone mineralization. Gold values are generally sporadic and correspond with the amount of quartz veins observed in outcrop. These veins are quartz-filled tension gash structures developed at the boundaries of the multi-phase tonalite intrusion.

The Sails Lake property is located 25 km east of the mining community of Snow Lake, Manitoba and consists of 8 claim blocks covering an area of approximately 1,900 hectares. Additional follow-up work on this project is warranted and will be reviewed in the upcoming months.

For additional details on exploration on our Sails Lake property, see VMS' press releases issued between January 24, 2007 and September 9, 2011, available at www.vmsventures.com.

All technical information in this release has been reviewed by Dr. Mark Fedikow, P.Geo., who is the Qualified Person for the Company and Vice President of Exploration and Technical Services, VMS Ventures Inc.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control

Geological mapping was carried out at 1:100 scale by geologists and geotechnicians employed VMS Ventures Inc. Channel samples were marked on outcrop with spray paint and samples were cut with a portable diamond saw approx. 4cm thick and 5cm deep with the maximum sample length of 1.2 metres, but average 0.60 metres. The channel samples were then placed in plastic bags and tagged with a unique sample number. A metal tag with the sample number was placed in cross slots at the end of samples for future reference. Chemical analyses reported in this press release were performed by TSL Laboratories in Saskatoon, SK, where it was dried, crushed and pulverized and a 250-gram sample was prepared for assaying. Gold was analyzed by fire assay Atomic Absorption using a 30g charge, with gravimetric finish for assays greater than 3 g/t. Sampling and analytical procedures are subject to a comprehensive Quality Assurance and Quality Control program that includes blanks and analytical standards.
