VMS Announces Silver and Gold Results From Its Reed Lake Discovery Near Snow Lake, Manitoba

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - (Feb. 25, 2009) - VMS Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:VMS) (the "Company") is pleased to announce silver and gold assay results for core samples from drill holes RD-08-25 and RD-08-36 to RD-08-61. These precious metal results had not been received when the copper and zinc values were published. Significant gold and silver assays are summarized in the table below. Today's precious metal assays are presented on the Company's website at http://www.vmsventures.com/discovery...

The highest silver and gold assays reported today are from drillhole RD-08-57, which intersected the A lense mineralization. The A lense is interpreted to be debris flow material derived from a yet to be identified sulphide mound. Assay values for the B lense mineralization are similar to those intersected in holes RD-08-40 and RD-08-55. They are generally lower in both silver and gold, with sporadic higher values of greater than 5 g/t Ag and greater than 1 g/t Au.

George Gale, VP Exploration, states, "The silver and gold values are consistent with our understanding of the deposit. The A lense tends to have much higher Ag and Au than the B lense. This observation provides additional evidence for our interpretation of the A lense as originating from a sulphide mound, or the core of the mineralizing system, which has not yet been discovered. The B lense occurs as high-grade copper mobilizate derived from the same source as the A lense. This mobilizate at the Discovery Zone is interpreted to have been produced by elevated temperature and pressure associated with a nearby mafic intrusion."

Historically, the average gold and silver grades of deposits in the Flin Flon - Snow Lake belt approximate 2 g/t Au and 30 g/t Ag. At the Discovery Zone, the lower silver and gold grades, the high-grade copper mobilizate and textures observed in drill core indicate the mineralization has been displaced from its original depositional site. The more typical gold and silver grades for the belt and additional copper and zinc are likely to be found at the origin of the mineralization.
