VMS Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE: VMS) (the "Company") is pleased to report on its ongoing exploration program at the Reed Lake Discovery Zone near Snow Lake, Manitoba.

Highlights: RD-08-35: 19.80 m (64.96 ft) of 2.70% Cu and 1.72% Zn Including 12.11 m (39.73 ft) of 3.52% Cu and 1.96% Zn Including 7.51 m (24.64 ft) of 5.02% Cu and 1.77% Zn

Hole RD-08-35 was drilled from the same set up and azimuth as holes RD-08-23 and RD-08-38 and approximately 45 m to the east of the western most intercept of mineralization so far, hole RD-08-39.

One drill continues testing the strike and depth extent of mineralization at the western edges of the Discovery Zone and a second drill is testing the Discovery Zone mineralization to the east and to depth.

A third drill is testing a strong off hole conductor detected in a recent downhole survey of hole TZ-08-02, related to the Tower Zone anomaly, 1,000 m to the east of the Discovery Zone. The Tower Zone anomaly is a series of geophysical conductor anomalies that have been identified in airborne, and in greater detail in the DeepEM survey over a 1.2 km length. Previous holes in the area have not explained the conductor, but have intercepted altered rocks and trace amounts of copper and zinc sulphides along with iron sulphides, in what may represent foot wall alteration to a VMS deposit.
