VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) VR Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: VRR, FSE: 5VR; OTCBB: VRRCF), the
Company , or “
VR”, is pleased to provide an update on the recently completed fall reconnaissance drill program at its Hecla-Kilmer property and copper-gold breccia target located in northern Ontario (“H-K”).

The Company completed four drill holes on the northern MVI (magnetic inversion) anomaly at H-K for a total of 1,971 metres (Figure 1). The crew, rig and road-accessible camp demobilized at the end of October before the onset of winter weather. Minalyze XRF data from the complete scanning of drill core by SGS Canada Inc. are in hand, however complete geochemical data from drill core samples are still pending.
The MNRF tranquilized a mother polar bar and two yearlings, Moose Cree FN Chief Mervin Cheechoo says, before transporting them to a more suitable habitat further up the James Bay coast.(Facebook- Moose Cree FN) Our last resort has always been to put them down. But you know what, the community s safety was a priority, and we always knew that there s a possibility that we might have to put them down to keep our community safe.
Chief Cheechoo said the bears got within half a kilometre from houses, at which point local NAPS officers were able to push them back toward the landfill. Chief Cheechoo said the warm winter has made it difficult for the bears to hunt.
