    Disclaimer: I'm just a VMS shareholder and hold between 1M to 3M shares. This is not financial advice, legal advice, trading advice, investing advice and actually not any advice. DYOR, invest what you can lose, blah blah blah. I'm just an eager investor, no more no less.

    I believe there are 3 game changer events for VMS :
    1. Wet Screen Plant Constructions / Debt Finance
    2. Golden Grove North
    3. South West with Chalice Gold

    Wet Screen Plant Construction / Debt Finance

    In summary, VMS commence the dry screen program and produced 2,000 tonnes but the decided to commence the wet screen production plant due to a superior margin.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that if you do the dry screen program then you can't use the same iron ore to convert it to the wet screen program so VMS have decided to construct the wet screen plant for superior margin. My understanding is it will take about 3 months for the Wet Screen Plant to be constructed so VMS have commenced the Wet Screen Plant recently.

    My view is VMS would not commence Wet Screen Plant if it was not very confident it would obtain debt finance or at least have some sort of other avenue to obtain finance to complete the Wet Screen Plant.

    You don't build a house with enough money to build everything except the roof unless you were confident you can obtain finance for the roof.

    I went through the wording of recent VMS announcements and they no longer mention 'finance discussions' but rather VMS is working through advance finance proposals.

    23 October 2020


    Venture’s decision to commence Stage One of the Wet Screening Plant construction ensures that progress towards
    wet screening continues while finance is finalised for subsequent stages. The Company continues to work through
    several advanced financing proposals for completion of the Wet Screening Plant which will enable nameplate
    production at Riley.

    Golden Grove North Project / Vulcan

    September 2020 Quarterly states:

    This new strategic landholding (E59/1989) sits within a historic Goldfield that produced over 250,000 ounces of gold
    up until 1957* and contains at least 30 historic gold mines (Refer Figure 10). The new acquisition is located adjacent to
    Firefly Resources’ (ASX: FFR) Yalgoo Gold Project and only 8 kms south of the Melville Gold Deposit. The Company’s
    Exploration Team is as a matter of priority, currently reviewing the gold potential of the tenement with results of that
    work to be released shortly.


    The Company currently has a ground EM crew on site to further pinpoint the VMS drill target at the Number One
    prospect around the historic drill hole WRC054. Venture is still planning to drill this target after the EM survey is
    completed whilst the RC rig is still on site during the maiden drill program at Golden Grove North.

    My Comments
    It would be strange that VMS state as an ASX listed company but as a VMS shareholder, I can say that FFR's share price moved from $0.100 to $0.235 when the ASX: FFR drilling results were released but moved to $0.175 due to a capital raise which obviously they need due to more drilling. This is a 75% to 130% (depending on when the point in time you want to compare) and I know because I wanted to jump on FFR but didn't. What VMS forgot to mention was that the land is also located near ASX:EMU which jumped from $0.031 to $0.061 (100% increase) since the drilling results on 28 September 2020 (a month ago).

    Looking at the image below, ASX:FFR is Melville and ASX:EMU is Gnows Nest, VMS is above Gnows Nest, so you can try to work out whether VMS will have good drilling results which expect to be released soon based on the VMS September Quarterly.

    Chalice Gold - South West ProjectThere is a JV with Chalice gold and effectively it's a free hit with 30% earned.

    Chalice Gold are apparently commenced or will commence drilling results.

    Any successful outcome from 3 above events will be a game changer for VMS.
    I haven't even discussed about the Tin/Tungsten projects and the new projects stated in the September 2020 Quarterly.

    The AGM is on 30 November 2020 and the beauty of lot of people hating VMS is VMS when they make announcements will never overcommit.

    Go VMS!!!!
