TORONTO, July 18 /CNW Telbec/ - VVC EXPLORATION CORPORATION (VVC: TSX-V) (V7S: FSE / BBSE) ("VVC" or the "Company) is please to report that soil and magnetic surveys carried out over the Playfair Township property have outlined areas of anomalous zinc, lead, copper, nickel and gold. These soil anomalies were detected in four areas north of and adjacent to airborne electromagnetic conductors. The Playfair property which was acquired in November 2006, is located in the Bourkes Area, about 25 km northwest of Kirkland Lake and 75 km east of Timmins, Ontario.
The Company also owns or has options on other properties in the same general area which were acquired for their base metal and gold potential.
H.L. Lovell, Resident, Geologist, Kirkland Lake in Geological Report 92 1971 wrote "Apparently the highest grade concentrations of zinc, lead and copper in the Kirkland Lake area (including the Bourkes area) are along strike or en echelon from or short distances stratigraphically above (but not in) the zones of bedrock causing the highest magnetic (magnetite, pyrrhotite) and electromagnetic (graphite, pyrite, pyrrhotite, marcasite) anomalies."
With this theory in mind the Company anticipates conducting soil surveys over the other airborne EM conductors on its properties in the Bourkes area during the 2007 exploration season. Exploration by trenching of the geochemical anomalies in Playfair Township, will also be conducted. In addition, the Company anticipates drill testing one of the anomalies this summer, subject to the availability of a drill rig.
The technical aspects of this news release were reviewed by M.W. Rennick, P. Eng. (QP).
In a recent statement, Mr. Daniel Grenier, President and CEO of the Company pointed out that: "Current activities in the Timmins Mining Camp, notably the discovery by Golden Chalice (GCR-TSXV) approximately 60 km to the west, have increased awareness of the importance of this area. As such, the Company wants to focus its attention in this region, being one of the oldest mining camps in Canada."
