I thought so...but here is the info - agoracom is not on the ball to post it yet.

Dear VMS Followers,

Today we reported that HudBay Minerals has completed its expenditure requirement for the first year of the Option agreement for the four properties which surround the Reed Copper Project Joint Venture Property. In excess of $900,000 was spent in the year and we expect HudBay to continue their exploration into years 2 and 3. The results have thus far been very encouraging, highlighted by the discovery of high grade copper mineralization just 2 km north of the Reed Copper Deposit. As these deposits tend to form in clusters resulting in multiple deposits, we believe this drill intercept is strong evidence for the potential that multiple deposits may have formed here as well.

As Neil Richardson our COO states in the release, HudBay is continuing its exploration with two diamond drills dedicated to the property testing geophysical and geological targets on the Option properties. We expect assay results from the on-going drilling to be available in the next few weeks so watch for more results to come this summer.

Please feel free to contact us at our North Vancouver office with any questions you may have on our toll free line at 1-866-816-0118.

Sincerely,

John Roozendaal
President

On May 17, 2011 VMS and HudBay announced the discovery of 7.18 meters of 7.44% copper (from 133.89 to 141.07 metres) in hole RLE006. Follow-up work has been on-going including additional drilling, and surface and borehole pulse electromagnetic surveys. Assays from additional holes on the new discovery and other exploration targets are expected in a few weeks.
