VVC Exploration Corporation: VVC Exploration-Geological Information on Sta Valeria Property, a Silver Prospect in Chihuahua Sta
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 25, 2009) - VVC EXPLORATION CORPORATION (TSX VENTURE:VVC) (FRANKFURT:V7S)(BERLIN:V7S) ("VVC" or the "Company") announces detailed geological information relating the Sta Valeria property (the "Property") under option to the Company as disclosed on March 11, 2009.
The Property is located approximately 150 km south of Chihuahua, Chih., Mexico, along a major north-northwest trending structure, in Oligocene felsic volcanics and Cretaceous limestone. The mineralization is located in east-west and north-northwest trending brecciated and altered quartz-manganese and calcite-bearing zones carrying mainly Silver, Lead and Zinc (Ag-Pb-Zn) bearing assemblages. Preliminary geological mapping was carried out, and a total of 51 samples collected from three mineralized zones.
The main east-west structure hosts 2 significant mineralized zones, known as Veta 1 and Veta 2. It is oriented east-west and dips 80 degrees to the south. It has been tested by 7 shallow vertical exploration pits which indicate a 20 to 50 m thickness with local intense alteration and brecciation, and quartz-calcite-manganese-barite veining and stockwork.
A total of 34 samples were taken on the easily accessible Veta 1 Zone, on surface and in the vertical pits. Most of the underground walls, whether mineralized or not, were channel sampled. Selected results from the Veta 1 Zone are as follows:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description Sample No. Ag (g/t) Pb (%) Zn (%)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Average of all 34 samples 101 1.59 1.86
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
More accessible eastern part 136 2.35 1.39
of Zone averages
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the mineralized Zone, 10 m Inv-17 180 1.53 1.47

The Company's goal is to assess the Sta Valeria mineralized structures with an initial 1,000 metre diamond drill program as recommended by our on-site Geological Team.
The technical aspects of this news release were reviewed by independent (QP) Andre Ciesielski, D.Sc., P. Geo.
"We are very encouraged with the preliminary results of the sampling program." said Daniel Grenier, President of VVC. "We are confident that the proposed drilling program will confirm the continuation of the mineralized structures at depth and along strike."
