INTRODUCTION

VMS Ventures Inc. has the second largest land position in Manitoba's prolific Flin Flon - Snow Lake Volcanogenicvms1.jpg (50154 bytes) Massive Sulphide (VMS) belt. The largest is held by Canada's HudBay Minerals (TSX-V:HBM) with mines and mills in both Flin Flon and Snow Lake. More than 20 VMS deposits, rich in copper-zinc as well as gold and silver, have been discovered in this belt.

The Company's projects are all in mining friendly Manitoba, Canada and have the economic advantage of being close to the industrial power and infrastructure required to support a discovery.

PROJECT IN HAND

(1) The Snow Lake VMS Project, Manitoba (Copper / Zinc)
vms2.jpg (80947 bytes)
VMS Ventures has over 70 sq.km of prospective VMS discovery ground inside three property groupings. The Sails Lake and Reed Lake Projects are self-contained while the Cover Project includes six distinct claim blocks.

The Flin Flon - Snow Lake Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide belt is the most prolific Proterozoic belt in the world. To date, the belt has produced more than $29 billion of nickel, copper, zinc, gold and silver from over 20 mines. The average deposit contains in excess of 5 million tonnes with a gross metal value in excess of $1 billion. With the second largest land holdings in the belt, VMS Ventures believes that they have an excellent opportunity to find one, or several, economic deposits.

VMS Ventures is now focusing on an aggressive exploration program using VTEM airborne geophysical technology and sophisticated ground geochemistry programs to generate extremely specific drill targets. These new methods give them a distinct exploration advantage in the belt.

The infrastructure provided by HudBay's operations in nearby Snow Lake provides a clear economic advantage for discoveries in the region.vms3.jpg (28881 bytes)

Value Proposition

Geological Setting: Flin Flon - Snow Lake Greenstone Belt. Proterozoic Marine Volcanic Rocks.

VMS Target: Multiple 5,000,000 tonne (plus) copper-zinc deposits.

World-Class Deposits: 
Flin Flon, Manitoba, (Cu, Zn, Au, Ag) 60,000,000 tonnes.
Kidd Creek, Ontario, (Cu, Pb, Zn, Au, Ag) 150,000,000 tonnes.

Value Proposition:

5,000,000 tonnes grading 2.5% Copper, equals 50 lb/t at price of US$3.5/lb totals US$175/t, plus 4.5% Zinc which equals 90 lb/t at a price of US$1.50/lb totals US$135/t for Zinc.

Total contained metal (Gross Metal Value) = US$310 x 5,000,000 = US$1.55 billion

(Excluding Gold and Silver credits which can be significant in these deposits)

(2) The Lynn Lake Gabbros Nickel Project, Manitoba (Nickel / Copper)vms4.jpg (22293 bytes)

The Lynn Lake Mine produced over 20 million tonnes of Nickel-Copper ore from two Gabronic Plugs between 1953 and 1978. It is now the exploration focus of Independent Nickel (TSX-V:INI).

VMS Venture's five optioned claim blocks cover the known extent of five separate mafic-ultramafic bodies which have noted similarities to the two mined nickel producing intrusions. The geometry, styles of mineralization and other important geologic features of the mined deposits, are well documented. This background information offers an advanced footing from which to explore for the same styles of Nickel-Copper mineralization mined in those two intrusions. Independent Nickel is now actively exploring in and around the Lynn Lake mining camp and their recent successes should bring additional attention to the Company's efforts.

Value Proposition

Geological Setting: Lynn Lake, Manitoba, Nickel Belt; Five Gabbro Plugs.

Nickel Target: 5,000,000 tonnes of 1% Nickel with Copper, Cobalt and Platinum Group Element credits (PGvms5.jpg (14696 bytes)E).

Deposit Models:
The Lynn Lake Mine: 20,000,000 tonnes, 1% Nickel and 0.5% Copper plus Cobalt.

EL (U) Plug: 1,000,000 tonnes, 3.25% Nickel and 1% Copper mined in nearby plug as part of the Lynn Lake mine complex.

Namew Mine: 2,400,000 tonnes, 2.4% Nickel and 0.9% Copper.

Value Proposition:
5,000,000 tonnes grading 1% Nickel, approximately 20 lb/t, x US$22/lb equals US$440/t plus 0.5% Copper x US$3.50/lb equals US$35/t.

Total contained metal value equals US$2.375 billion.

(3) The South Bay Nickel Project, Manitoba (Nickel / Copper / Cobalt / PGE)

The South Bay Nickel Project is located near the mining community of Leaf Rapids, Manitoba. It covers approximately 100 sq.km and is centered around the high grade nickel-copper-cobalt-PGE mineralized outcrop discovered in 2004.

VMS Ventures plans to undertake further geochemistry surveys to establish future drill targets. The Company will also consider joint venture partners for the South Bay project.

Value Propositionvms6.jpg (26687 bytes)

Minimum target: a 5 million tonne deposit, grading 2% Nickel equivalent.

Using this target as a model for calculating the Gross Metal Value of a deposit in the ground, 2% nickel represents approximately 40 pounds of nickel per tonne.

40 lbs of nickel multiplied by a price for a pound of nickel of US$22 totals a value of US880 per tonne.

5 million tonnes of rock grading 2% nickel would have a Gross Metal Value of approximately US$4.4 billion in contained metal.

Comparable Mine: Lynn Lake Ni-Cu Mines produced over 20 million tonnes averaging 1% Ni.

The mine life was over 20 years.

(4) The Eden Lake Rare Earth Elements (REE)-Uranium Project, Manitoba 
(REE Metals / Uranium)

The Eden Lake Rare Earth Elements (REE)-Uranium Project has been in the Company since 2001. Ground samples have shown values of 13% total REE's. These levels compare favorably to those found in REE mines around the world. 90% of the REE's consumed in North America are sourced in China and the geopolitical and economic potential of a viable North American source is enormous.

The drill results provide a framework for further evaluation of the vegetation, soil and rock data collected over the property. This review will help in the planning the next phase of exploration. The Company is also exploring opportunities to Joint Venture the property with a suitable partner.

Value Propositionvms7.jpg (19175 bytes)

These metals are more difficult to value than base or precious metals. Using values for processed refined metals gathered from publicly available documents provides some context for the potential value. All numbers are based on processed purified metals.

Eden Lake, Manitoba Target: large tonnage deposit, 100 million tonnes or greater in size.

The total Gross Metal Value of the metals in an apatite concentrate grading 2.5% approximates $11,000/t.

REE vein sample approximately $62,000/t Gross Metal Value of combined elements refined.

Mean grades of 30 separate REE vein samples approximate $21,000/t Gross Metal Value.

As a comparison, using a common metal such as Copper in a 28% concentrate, approximates (2000 lb at a grade of 28% Cu) or roughly $1,100/t Gross Metal Value.

These metals, if discovered in economic concentrations and volumes, have the potential to add tremendous value to the Company.

On October 18, 2007, VMS Ventures Inc. announced that the Company plans on raising up to 19.5-million through a brokered private placement offering of units and flow-through shares. The private placement will consist of up to 8 million units of the Company at a price of $1.50 per unit and up to 5 million common shares of the Company which qualify as flow-through shares at a price of $1.50 for each flow-through share.

The net proceeds from the sale of the units will be used to finance continuing exploration and development activities, and for general corporate purposes.

On October 17, 2007, VMS Ventures Inc. announced that the Company has entered into a letter of intent with a private investor group to acquire the Copperman claims in Snow Lake, Manitoba. The Copperman claims are approximately 300 hectares in size and are contiguous with and situated at the north end of the Company's 100%-owned Copper claims. Drilling on the Copperman property in 1967 by Western Nuclear Mines Ltd. indicated that the A zone contains 149,672 tonnes with 3.08% copper and 3.08% zinc. Combined reserves of 221,308 tonnes with 2.63% Cu and 4.46% Zn were reported in Manitoba Mineral Deposit Series Report 21. Grab samples from the trenches assayed up to 12% Zn and 2.3% Cu (note: these are historic results and are not considered compliant with today's NI 43-10 reporting requirements). 

On October 15, 2007, VMS Ventures Inc. announced that the Company has sourced a drill for its second core drilling program on and around its recent Reed Lake VMS discovery. A program comprising up to 3,000 metres in 13 core holes is planned. The Company anticipates drilling will begin within 10 days.

This drill program is designed primarily to determine the extensions, orientation and geometry of the copper-rich mineralization discovered in DR 07-02 and to explore for its extension.

On October 4, 2007, VMS Ventures Inc. released the assay results (weighted average) from drill hole RD 07-02 on its new discovery on its Reed Lake project, near Snow Lake, Manitoba.

Highlights of high-grade copper-rich intervals:

· 2.50 m (8.2 ft) of 15.30% copper, within 10.50 m (34.4 ft) of 11.19% copper, within 22.25 m (72.9 ft) of 7.75% copper, within 43.05 m (141.2 ft) of 4.38% copper.

Vice President of Exploration, Dr. George Gale, states, "Obviously we are encouraged by the copper grades in this drill hole, but I think it is also important to note we have results for gold, silver and zinc that are consistent with the historic and producing VMS mines in the Flin Flon-Snow Lake belt."
