REED COPPER PROJECT
CASH FLOW EXPECTED IN 2015
  The high grade nature of the Reed Copper deposit gives the project strong leverage to
  copper prices.

  The following table shows a copper price sensitivity analysis based on the operating
  parameters set out in the Prefeasibility Study Published in May 2012.

VMS 2013: ASSETS AND
                  OPPOTUNITIES
The Reed Copper Project
    • January: Completion of surface construction and commissioning of 1.6 MW generator
    • August: First production and completion of main ventilation fan
    • 2014: Continued underground development to the 260 m level and full production.

VMS 100% Owned Manitoba Properties
   • $1.2M budgeted for winter 2013 drill program in the Snow Lake area. 3,000 m to 3,400 m
      of drilling is scheduled to test VTEM targets.

$10M and cash flow coming = New Opportunities
    • An important part of our Exploration Strategy
    • We are actively seeking an advanced stage project and expect many to come available
    this year, as Companies run out of money or cannot raise money.

North American Nickel (VMS owns ~21M shares)
    • District wide drill program planned for Maniitsoq in 2013; own VMS or NAN for discovery
    upside potential.

VMS 100% Owned Manitoba Properties • $1.2M budgeted for winter 2013 drill program in the Snow Lake area. 3,000 m to 3,400 m of drilling is scheduled to test VTEM targets. $10M and cash flow coming = New Opportunities • An important part of our Exploration Strategy • We are actively seeking an advanced stage project and expect many to come available this year, as Companies run out of money or cannot raise money. North American Nickel (VMS owns ~21M shares) • District wide drill program planned for Maniitsoq in 2013; own VMS or NAN for discovery upside potential. Slide 17
