- 2. NOTE: Some of the statements contained herein may be forward- looking statements which involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Without limitation, statements regarding potential mineralization and resources, exploration results, and future plans and objectives of the Company are forward-looking statements that involve various risks. The following are important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements: changes in the world wide price of mineral commodities, general market conditions, risks inherent in mineral exploration, risks associated with development, construction and mining operations, the uncertainty of future profitability and the uncertainty of access to additional capital. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events may differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. VMS Ventures Inc. undertakes no obligation to update such forward-looking statements if circumstances or management’s estimates or opinions should change.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE (as of Nov 30, 2015) Issued & Outstanding: 146,481,349 Options: 9,912,500 Warrants: 3,575,127 Fully Diluted: 159,968,976 52 Week high/low $0.30/$0.06 Market Cap $9 million www.vmsventures.com
- 4. www.vmsventures.com REGIONAL EXPLORATION POTENTIAL Recent massive sulphide discoveries, including the Reed Mine, were made using the VTEM airborne geophysical system VMS Ventures has flown over 17,000 line-km of VTEM over its extensive property package on close spaced high definition flight line spacing. Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide deposits (VMS Type Deposits) form in clusters.
- 6. REED MINE AREA EXPLORATION POTENTIAL High grade massive sulphide occurrences have been discovered in the area surrounding the Reed Mine. These deposits tend to occur in clusters, exploration continues in search of the next deposit. www.vmsventures.com
- 7. REED MINE AREA EXPLORATION POTENTIAL Seven diamond drill holes completed for a total of 4,870 metres. Borehole Pulse Electromagnetic surveys completed on all drill holes. BHEM, geological and analytical data will be reviewed in the coming months to define additional targets and design a follow-up program. www.vmsventures.com

- 10. REED MINE AREA EXPLORATION RLE036 RLE036 collared to test two plates that were modelled from a surface TDEM survey over the area. The strike of the plates and the magnetic feature in the area potentially ties these anomalies with the Reed North zone. 10 anomalies were seen from the BHPEM survey. Seven anomalies were ranked Category “A” and three ranked Category “C” and not recommended for follow-up. RLE036 EOH at 1056 metres was at the limit of the drilling equipment. Offhole Category “A” BHEM anomalies 0.98% Zinc over 9.0m core length from 447.4 – 456.4 metres down the hole RLE036 collar www.vmsventures.com
- 11. REED MINE AREA EXPLORATION RLE036 Category A target associated with zinc intersection is located left and above the hole Deep targets are always challenging for follow-up. Hole deviation and cost are two big factors to consider. Also the deeper the target the economics have to be considered as the size and grade required to be economic. 0.98% Zinc over 9.0m core length from 447.4 – 456.4 metres down the hole Offhole Category “A” BHEM anomalies RLE036 collar www.vmsventures.com

Borehole Pulse Electromagnetic targets indicate the deposit remains open at depth. Drilling to test for additional new ore zones will begin once underground development reaches depth and exploration drift driven. (Approx. 300 metre level) www.vmsventures.com Open Down Plunge
