RD-08-51 INTERSECTS 97.21 METRES OF 2.08% COPPER AT DISCOVERY ZONE, SNOW LAKE, MANITOBA

September 4, 2008

Vancouver, B.C., September 4, 2008 VMS Ventures Inc. (TSX-V: VMS) (the “Company”) is pleased to report assay results from drill holes RD-08-51 and RD-08-52 at its Reed Lake Discovery Zone near Snow Lake, Manitoba.

Drillhole RD-08-51 intersected two zones of mineralization: from 223.25 to 320.46 metres and 367.81 to 370.16 metres. The upper zone contains 97.21 metres of 2.08% Cu and the lower zone contains 5.14 metres of 1.14% Cu. Hole RD-08-51 is on the same cross-section as holes RD-08-59, RD-08-70 and RD-08-71, whereas hole RD-08-52 is on the same section as holes RD-08-11, RD-08-53 and RD-08-55.

Highlights:

·         RD-08-51:          97.21 m (318.93 ft) of 2.08% Cu, 0.07% Zn

     Including:         10.77 m (35.33 ft) of 6.86% Cu, 0.23% Zn

·        RD-08-52:          5.14 m (16.86 ft) of 1.14% Cu, 0.02% Zn

Dr. George Gale, VP Exploration states, “The intersection in RD-08-51 consists predominantly of sulphide veinlets similar to the mineralization in RD-08-38. To achieve a grade in excess of 2% copper over such a long interval is very encouraging and suggests that we may have the beginnings of a second zone of mineralization as it appears to be different than the pyrite-magnetite zone.”
