Nevada Multi-Metals Explorer Gets Full Funding, Begins 1500m Drill Program
Contributed Technical Analyst Opinion

Technical Analyst Stewart Thomson reviews VR Resources Ltd. (VRR:TSX; VRRCF:OTCQB; 5VR:FWB), which just closed an over-subscribed private placement to fund drilling for critical metals in Nevada.

VR Resources Ltd. (VRR:TSX; VRRCF:OTCQB; 5VR:FWB) is an established junior exploration company based in Vancouver. VR evaluates, explores, and advances opportunities in copper, gold, and critical metals in Nevada (New Boston; Bonita) and Ontario.

The company has closed an over-subscribed private placement in excess of CA$1 million, in follow-up to a consolidation and CA$3.14 million financing in January to secure funds for geophysics at Bonita and a drill program that is now underway at its moly-tungsten-copper-silver porphyry project at New Boston, as announced in the recent news release on May 7.

The New Boston Drilling Program

Plans are for approximately 1,500 meters of drilling in two to three holes to test the new IP and conductivity geophysical anomalies at Jeep Mine. 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.

The program is anticipated to take approximately two months to complete, with geochemical results to follow in the summer.

New Boston & Highway 95 Logistics Efficiency With Reno

  1. Whole-core hyperspectral scanning and high-resolution photography will be completed systematically on all drill cores by TerraCore Geospectral Imaging based in nearby Reno, Nevada, in order to document alteration chemistry and mineralogy and characterize vein geometries, and
  2. There will be continuous sampling of all drill holes in their entirety for multi-element ICP-MS geochemistry at Paragon Geochemical, also based in Reno.

The goal with this program is straightforward: to complete the first-pass drilling across the large-footprint, skarn, and porphyry system that the company started in 2024 at East Zone.

Before submitting the Jeep Mine drill permit application, VR reviewed its 2023 3-D DCIP survey models with Dias Geophysical at the AME conference in Vancouver in order to refine drill targets for the drill program currently underway at New Boston.

Drill Program & General Purposes Funding: A CA$1.1m Brokered Private Placement

The company has successfully closed its previously announced (April 17, 2026) upsized private placement of units of the company. A total of 4.68 million units raised aggregate gross proceeds of CA$1.17 million. This was a follow-up initiative to bolster the treasury for drilling further after a successful CA$3.14 million placement closed in January.

Bonita Porphyry Copper-Cold Project Update

In March, VR announced that the 3-D-array DCIP (direct-current induced polarization) geophysical survey is now complete, over the Copper Queen target on VR Resources Ltd.'s Bonita porphyry copper-gold project in Nevada.

The 3-D resistivity model will contain about 187,000 data points, and the IP model will contain approximately 135,500 data points. Depth penetration for the 3-D modeling will be approximately 400 meters.

Key Risks

  1. Exploration Risk — Drilling may not confirm economic mineralization at New Boston.
  2. Financing Risk — Future capital raises could dilute shareholders.
  3. Commodity Risk — Weak metal prices or junior mining sentiment could pressure valuation and financing access.
