VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jun 17, 2014) - VMS Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:VMS) ("VMS Ventures" or the "Company") announces that Richard Mark, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company, has tendered his resignation as of June 16. The Company thanks Mr. Mark for his 12 years of dedicated work to build shareholder value in VMS. We wish him well in his future endeavors.

Mr. Mark commented "As a large shareholder of VMS, I look forward to following the development of our now producing, high grade copper asset, the Reed Mine in Manitoba. I will also be watching North American Nickel closely, as VMS owns about 22% of NAN. Their 2014 exploration and zone drilling programs at NAN's 100-per-cent-owned Maniitsoq nickel sulphide project in southwestern Greenland are underway and we have high hopes for Discovery this season. I will miss the day to day intensity of running these two public companies, but must admit, I look forward to spending more time with my wife and daughter this summer.

John Roozendaal, the President of the Company has assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer.
