The work was completed by Renaud Geological\nConsulting Ltd. (RGC) based in London, Ontario, who have extensive\nexperience on REE deposits in Canada.  The six samples submitted for\nthis study were designed to span the 500 metres of vertical extent of\nREE mineralization at Pike Zone, and mineralization 2.5 km away at the\nSouth Rim Zone.\n \n \n \n \n CEO Comment and Drill Core Photos\n \n \n \n \n From VR’s CEO, Dr. Michael Gunning, “\n \n \n I simply cannot understate the\nsignificance of these results towards the advancement of this REE\ncritical metal discovery at...
