VMS Ventures Inc.  updates various activities related to its extensive property package in Manitoba, Canada.

Sails Lake

Although optioned as a VMS project, the Sails Lake property is also well known to host gold mineralization. A soil geochemical survey was undertaken in late July to follow up on prospecting and historical exploration that discovered gold mineralization at Sails Lake. In this particular area, surface rock chip samples have returned assays of up to 30 grams per tonne gold, but they have never been drilled or surveyed by ground geophysics. An IP ground geophysical survey is planned to cover the gold targets later this month. It will also test adjacent areas prospective for copper-zinc.

This project has already produced over 50 discrete drill targets. They are now being evaluated to select the best prospects for drilling. Permitting for the planned mid-October drill program is now in process.

Morton Lake

The Company originally staked the Morton Lake project, located 25 km west of Snow Lake, in part, because of its geological similarity to the rocks hosting the past producing Dickstone copper-zinc mine, only 500 metres to the west. In addition, historic drill holes, some as early as 1956, intersected copper and zinc mineralization with typical VMS-type alteration, indicative of a strong hydrothermal mineralizing system, capable of hosting significant VMS deposits.

The project moved up the VMS Ventures priority list this summer after Dr. Alan Bailes visited the Reed Lake Deposit and used high precision rock geochemistry to assist with geological interpretations. He discovered that the host rocks at the Reed Lake Deposit are connected to the same rock package hosting the Dickstone Mine and Morton Lake approximately 30 km north of Reed Lake.

As a result, the Company has doubled its land position in the area, including the prospective rock package to the south towards Reed Lake. The Morton Lake Project now is over 23 km in length and approximately 90 sq km in area.

VMS has previously surveyed the northern half of the property with the VTEM airborne system. In late July, VMS geologists began a program of MMI soil geochemistry over the VTEM anomalies. These prioritized VTEM targets occur along strike from, and at greater depths than, the prospective mineralized zones identified from historical data. These anomalies comprise the preliminary list of drill targets. Additional targets will be established following completion of ongoing field work and final review of the historical data base. An initial drill program is planned for winter 2011.

Copper Project

Advances in exploration technology have created new opportunities in old areas. The VMS discovery at Reed Lake indicates the prospectivity of the “covered” areas of the Snow Lake belt, and how using old data sets with new methodologies and insights can help the Company locate drill targets in areas that in the past may have been ignored, left behind, or missed completely.

Most of the 250 sq km Copper Project, located to the east of Snow Lake, is covered with a 25 to 40 metre thick dolomite rock layer. With no outcropping of the prospective volcanic rock, the team is effectively blind to the property’s geology. To rectify this, the team has analyzed and integrated data from over 200 drill holes’ historical records into the Copper Project database over the summer. These historical drill records provide a description of the underlying geology at this large, prospective property.

Other sources of information assisting the team in drill targeting include the VTEM airborne conductivity and magnetic geophysical surveys and soil geochemical sample surveys.

VMS plans to drill at the Copper Project in winter 2011.

The proceedings from the “Airborne Gravity 2010″ workshop at the recent 2010 ASEG-PESA 21st International Geophysical Conference and Exhibition are available for download from the Geoscience Australia website: https://www.ga.gov.au/products/servlet/controller?event=GEOCAT_DETAILS&catno=70673

The Airborne Gravity 2010 workshop was held in Sydney on August 22.
The objective of this workshop was to provide a review of the advances in airborne gravity since the Airborne Gravity 2004 Workshop, also held in Sydney (see GA Record 2004/18).

The Airborne Gravity 2010 workshop presentations followed four themes:
1) Current operating airborne gravity and gravity gradiometry systems
2) Developing airborne gravity and gravity gradiometry systems
3) Advances in processing and interpretation software
4) Review of complementary technologies

The SSW Probe developed by Instrumentation GDD Inc. It reduces dilution and increases ore grade within mining operation.

Several mines use the GDD SSW probe to log nickel, copper and iron sulphides in blast holes. By lowering the probe in the blast hole, a profile of the electromagnetic (EM) response is measured and obtained in real time making it useful for finding out ores content. Indeed, logged drill holes in nickel mines have demonstrated that ores content of nickel, cobalt, copper, and PGM are often proportional to the intensity of the probe EM response. Quick and inexpensive, probing a 30 m depth blast hole within 10 cm intervals will take less than 2 minutes.

Surveying a drill hole with a GDD SSW probe helps to determine the shape of the high-grade ore body within the waste rock and low grade ore. Using this tool, user will know exactly where to stop blasting thus saving time and money. The SSW probe can also be used to discover and mine pockets of rich ore that are otherwise left in place. Increase ore grade at the mill and get rid of the waste!

Dia Bras is a Canadian exploration mining company focused on precious and base metals in Chihuahua State and other areas of northern Mexico.

Dia Bras Exploration Inc. reports that a major geophysical survey has been completed on its 100% owned Bolivar Property which is not subject to any royalties, Chihuahua State, Mexico. Field checks have been conducted to examine anomalies detected during a recently completed Titan 24 Induced Polarization (IP)/resistivity survey contracted to Quantec Geoscience of Toronto, Ontario.  Two areas were covered during the survey, where eight lines totaling 9,000 metres were measured across the Banda Fault near the Bolivar Mine, and three lines totaling 2,700 metres were measured at the La Cascada high-sulfidation gold deposit. Condor Consulting of Lakewood, Colorado, has been retained by Dia Bras to assist in the planning of the IP/resistivity surveys and with the interpretation of the results.

“The surveys just completed at La Cascada and the Banda Fault areas have shown very promising results that confirm important mineralization can occur in these areas,” stated Daniel Tellechea, President & CEO. “These very positive results focus our drilling on targets that have the potential to host very important mineralization. At La Cascada, our target is a multi-million ounce gold deposit, while at the Banda Fault area our target is a major, stratabound skarn or replacement deposit with copper-zinc grades equivalent to what we have been producing from the Bolivar Mine for the past five years.”

La Cascada

Three survey lines at La Cascada were completed in this area of rugged terrain: a 1,000-m-long N-S line and two E-W lines (800 and 900 m), which resulted in detection of three significant chargeability and resistivity anomalies – all of which are associated with anomalous grades of gold in outcrop, as evidenced by the results of chip-channel sampling over 2-metre widths. The southernmost anomaly on the N-S line starts at 50 m depth. Sampling of outcrops over an area of 50 x 85 m was conducted prior to the survey and the six samples assayed 0.6 – 1.1 g/t gold.

Sampling in the area of the central anomaly (also starting at 50 m depth), completed over a 40 x 50 m area (also prior to the survey) resulted in the eight samples assaying 0.5 – 2.1 g/t gold.

Sampling in the area of the northernmost anomaly, completed over a 10 x 20 m area (also prior to the survey) resulted in the three samples assaying 0.4 – 3.0 g/t gold.

The sampled areas between the anomalies yielded very low grades of gold, generally less than 0.1 g/t.

These survey results are very positive because of the strong correlation between elevated gold in outcrop and strong chargeability anomalies. This correlation indicates that the probability that the three chargeability anomalies are associated with gold mineralization at shallow depths is very high.

The truncation of the chargeability anomalies at an apparent constant 50 m depth is inferred to be the result of oxidation of the high-sulfide zones, remnants of which appear on the surface as 1-2% pyrite and abundant jarosite, hematite and goethite.

Drilling will target the near-surface, coincident strong chargeability (IP) and resistivity zones detected during the survey. Drilling is scheduled to commence during late August, when an access road is completed to the selected drill sites. At least ten holes of 200-300 m depth each are planned for this first phase of drilling.

The area surveyed is only about 10% of the area known to host strong gold anomalies, where sampling has returned values up to 15 g/t Au.

Banda Fault

Eight E-W lines 600 m to 1500 m in length at the Banda Fault area were measured across this major, NW-trending fault. The objective of the survey was to locate geophysical anomalies associated with NW-trending and NE-trending faults. Faults of these orientations control the location of high-grade copper-zinc mineralization in the Bolivar Mine. The anomalies can be separated into two general groups: near-surface anomalies and sub-surface anomalies.

Each of the near-surface anomalies occurs in andesite and is associated with elevated sulfide content, usually 1-3%, epidote and minor silicification. The anomalies are generally on low hills, reflecting their being underlain by the resistant silicified rock. The anomalies on lines 3, 5, 6 & 7 indicate a NW-trending structure (herein named the Nathalie Fault) parallel to the Banda Fault that passes near Increíble. There are significant geochemical anomalies associated with this structure, which may be a very important feeder of mineralizing fluids into the metasediments. This structure may be the main feeder of the mineralizing fluids, and not the Banda Fault as has been inferred prior to the survey.

The sub-surface anomalies are generally located west of the Banda Fault and are in a position to be the stratabound, large-tonnage replacement and/or skarn deposits that have been a major target for the Company.

The survey results are very encouraging. It has identified the Nathalie Fault, which is now inferred to be the major feeder for mineralization at the property. Drill hole 287, completed in March 2009, was drilled to a depth of 650 metres as a test of the Banda Fault and was placed between the Banda Fault and the Nathalie Fault. It was collared on what is now known to be the edges of a chargeability anomaly, a magnetic low and a moderate resistivity anomaly. The chargeability anomaly tops out at 100 m depth at the drill site, and at this depth, the hole entered increasingly skarnified andesite with disseminated sulfide mineralization. At 450 m depth, the hole entered the metasediments, which are present as marble and represent the upper portion of the metasedimentary section – above the Upper Skarn target. That is, the hole did not reach the target of the Upper Skarn horizon.

The new interpretation is that the Nathalie Fault, which is west of hole 287, will have on its west side the Upper Skarn target at a shallower depth, possibly 300-400 m. This area will be drilled by placing a NE-SW line of holes about 200 m NW of hole 287 and straddling the Nathalie Fault. This is an important target.

Silvore Fox Minerals Corp. reports that it has entered into a contract with Aeroquest International Ltd. (“Aeroquest”) to conduct a comprehensive airborne geophysical survey over the Corporation’s flagship Coxheath copper porphyry property in Nova Scotia, Canada. Aeroquest will fly a 462 line-kilometre survey of high resolution Aero TEM IV MAG-TDEM and Radiometrics over areas of interest encompassing the Corporation’s mineral claims at Coxheath.

In addition, the Corporation has also contracted CGI Controlled Geophysics Inc. (“CGI”) to manage this airborne program on behalf of the Corporation. CGI has extensive experience with modern geophysical techniques, data processing, project management and geophysical interpretation.

This phase of the exploration program, as per the Corporation’s Press Release dated May 28^th, 2010, is designed to provide new geoscientific information to help further the understanding of the mineral potential of the property. The results of the survey will aid in delineating the potential size and scope of the property’s structural framework and associated copper, gold, silver and molybdenum mineralization. In addition, the survey will provide important information on highly prospective and underexplored areas of the property, including the newly expanded, contiguous mineral rights. Follow-up field-work will focus on ground-truthing the results of this survey and the integrated data will be applied to develop a diamond drilling program that is anticipated to begin in September 2010. The details of the diamond drill program will be released at a later date.

“I am optimistic that the results of this survey will greatly advance our understanding of the geology and mineralization at Coxheath,” states Harry Cabrita, President and CEO. ”It will further enhance the efficiency of the exploration program that will have the assessment of economic significance as its primary objective.”

Kirrin Resources Inc. today announced the results of the evaluation and interpretation of the 1,076 line-km magnetic-electromagnetic (Tempest(R) EM) airborne survey of the Key Lake Southwest (‘Key Lake SW’) uranium property located on the southeastern margin of the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan. The Condor Consulting Inc. report identified 7 first priority, 5 second priority and 7 third priority targets that warrant follow-up assessment. Some of these anomalies correlate with geological, geophysical or geochemical anomalies identified from prior exploration, whereas others are newly identified. All are prospective for ingress style (i.e., basement hosted) uranium deposits along the geologically favourable Wollaston Group basement trend.

Commenting on the results, Kirrin President and CEO, Derek J Moran said: “These results have added substantial value to the Key Lake SW uranium project, and show clearly its potential for another eastern Athabasca uranium discovery.”

Processing, interpretation and correlation of the results with magnetic response and geology define two main types of conductors, discrete plate-type and broader, flat lying wide zones (Note 1). These have been further grouped by Condor into 19 target zones and subjectively ranked, according to their conductivity, magnetic association, strike extent and geological association, from high to low priority, with 7 target zones being ranked first priority. Historic wide-spaced drilling on parts of four of the 19 target zones identified prospective geology, including a possible sub-Athabasca Group regolith that was logged in several holes which are located within a Wide Zone EM conductor.

The number one priority target zone has good potential for uranium mineralization because significant uranium values within wide zones of graphitic pelites have been intersected in drill holes targeted along the northeastern extension of this conductor lying within Triex’s Riverlake and Forum Uranium’s Orchid properties. There are 9 other target zones (for a strike length of 52.9 km) which display similar geological and geophysical conductive and magnetic characteristics as observed on adjoining properties and over other uranium deposits in the region and thus are ranked as having high potential for uranium mineralization. The survey also showed that some target zones at Key Lake SW have potential for base metal mineralization or iron formation similar to the geological horizons mapped in the McArthur River mine.

Kirrin is planning the next stage of exploration at Key Lake SW. Follow-up fieldwork at selected first priority targets is likely to comprise (a) systematic prospecting of anomalous conductive trends to prioritise drill targets along those trends, (b) follow-up geochemical lake sediment and possibly soil surveys, (c) magnetic and electro-magnetic surveys on grid areas established over first priority target zones in order to locate conductive axes and attitudes for drill collar positioning, and (d) drill testing of selected targets.

Note1: Magnetic surveys, structural geology, drill and surface geochemistry compiled over the eastern portion of the Athabasca Basin indicate that uranium enrichment and deposits are associated with conductive horizons, located within or along magnetic low troughs, which typically represent graphitic and sometimes magnetite rich iron formations and associated contacts. These horizons are flanked or sandwiched between magnetic highs, which represent underlying Archean type granitoid domes or arches. The reduced magnetism is caused by regional faults, which provide control and form traps for uranium enrichment. The graphitic rich pelite horizons in the basement rock are excellent conductors and host uranium mineralization. They act as markers as they can be located with electromagnetic surveys and targeted with drill holes.

MacDonald Mines Exploration Ltd.  announces that it has finalized an agreement to acquire 100% of the Hornby and Pender Properties, located in the “Ring of Fire” area of the James Bay Lowlands, with Temex Resources Corp. An exploration update follows the agreement details below.

The Hornby Property

MacDonald Mines Hornby Property is located contiguous to the KWG/Spider “Big Daddy” chromite deposit. The Company believes, based on a total review of its airborne survey and historical exploration data, that the Hornby Property has the potential to host the extension of the Big Daddy deposit.

The Property also exhibits prospective volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) (copper, zinc and lead) geophysical targets and is on same stratigraphy as Spider/KWG McFauld’s Lake VMS discovery. Historical drilling in the proximity of this prospective target intersected VMS mineralization.

Exploration Update

As detailed in the Company’s recent press releases, MacDonald Mines has several significant mineral opportunities across multiple properties in the James Bay Lowlands. The spring 2010 drill program consisting of 26 holes, 4,471 meters and focused on the McNugget Property and identified new VMS mineralization of substance on four fold limbs.

A summary of the highlighted drill holes reported were as follows;

Copper (Cu)

• Hole MN10-102 intersected 1.03% over 15 metres
• Hole MN10-111 intersected 1.04% over 5 metres
• Hole MN10-90 intersected 1.11% over 5 metres

Zinc (Zn)

• Hole MN10-104 intersected 3.3% over 9 metres
• Hole MN10-106 intersected 2.55% over 4 metres
• Hole MN10-110 intersected 2.82% over 5 metres
• Hole MN10-102 intersected 2.5% over 3 metres
• Hole MN10-104 intersected 2.00% Zn and 0.88% Cu over 6 metres

Silver (Ag)

• Hole MN10-87 intersected 13.32 g/t over 5.3 metres
• Hole MN10-94 intersected 16.56 g/t over 4 metres
• Hole MN10-102 intersected 11.67 g/t over 3 metres
• Hole MN10-104 intersected 11.97 g/t over 3 metres

Final assays from this last phase of drilling are pending and will be reported once they have been received and reviewed by the Company.

This large VMS system, which is open in all directions and yields VMS mineralization over a potential cumulative strike length of approximately 20 kilometres, was described by consulting geologist Hadyn R. Butler, P.Geo, as potentially being a new VMS camp.

Next Phase of Drilling to Commence Early September With 2 Drills

Crone Geophysics’ down-hole and surface EM system was employed in the previous phases of exploration, assisting in the discovery of the four VMS mineralized fold limbs, and will again be utilized for the upcoming drill program for drill target control.

The Company will continue to operate two drills for this upcoming drill program and will focus on the positive results from its successful spring 2010 drilling program on the McNugget Property.

Targeting Nickel and VMS on McNugget Property

VMS

The pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite-sphalerite-pyrite mineralization observed in the core of the McNugget property is indicative of VMS mineralization. The pattern of chlorite and sericite alteration, coupled with varying Cu/Zn ratios and alteration index plots from available geochemistry, indicates that there are at least three separate hydrothermal discharge vents/centres found within the same stratigraphic horizon of a large fold complex (McNugget).

Sulphide mineralization observed in drill core generally appears between footwall metasediments and hangingwall felsic volcanics, a lithologic sequence indicative of a Bimodal-Siliciclastic VMS environment.

Based on alteration mineralogy, geochemical vector analysis and 3-D geophysical modelling, it appears that the significant VMS mineralization intersected to date is peripheral to the volcanic centres (sources).

The Company’s current information is pointing to the Fold Nose found on the property as the most immediate prospective appreciable VMS mineralization. A surface and airborne electromagnetic (EM) survey are currently underway on the Fold Nose – and these results will direct the drilling program.

Nickel

The highest priority nickel target on the McNugget property remains to be in the vicinity of MN07-39. A completion of the airborne magnetic and EM, and Noront Resources’ recent image of the Eagles Nest indicates that the same magnetic horizon extends from the Noront discovery through the McNugget property – adjacent to MN07-39. Prior to further drilling, this area will be investigated further using the following geophysical techniques – VTEM and AeroTEM IV, magnetics, and Crone Geophysics surface and down-hole pulse EM system.

Copper Fox Metals Inc.  provides an update on the results and interpretation of the Quantec Geosciences Ltd. “State of the Art” Quantec Titan-24 DCIP and MT geophysical survey, on the Schaft Creek copper-gold-molybdenum-silver deposit located in Northwest British Columbia.

Highlights:

• the Induced Polarization/Resistivity (IP) anomalies outlined by the Survey strongly suggest that the Schaft Creek mineral deposit extends a significant distance to the east and at depth beyond the limits of the current diamond drilling,
• the Survey indicates that the IP anomalies that correspond to the Main, Paramount and Breccia Zones of the Schaft Creek mineral deposit are open to the north and south, and
• the Induced Polarization anomalies outlined in 2008 have been confirmed by the Survey but these responses are interpreted to represent a geological feature, not mineralization.

Mr. Elmer Stewart, President of Copper Fox stated that “Our primary objective is to complete the feasibility study by the end of 2010. If the IP anomalies are an indication of the size of the Schaft Creek deposit, then the deposit is substantially larger than what has been defined to date. A substantial amount of diamond drilling would be required to define the limits of the deposit. Our 2010 diamond drilling program; although not designed for exploration has been adjusted to test the large IP anomaly identified on Section 6361000 under Mount LaCasse”.

Schaft Creek Deposit:
The Schaft Creek mineral deposit consists of three mineralized zones, being the Main, West Breccia and Paramount (see About Copper Fox for resource estimate of the Schaft Creek deposit).

Quantec Titan-24 DCIP and MT Survey:
Quantec Geosciences Limited (Quantec) was retained to further define two Induced Polarization anomalies located in the area of the proposed mill site in 2008. In order to better interpret any anomalies located by the Survey, the scope of the Survey was extended to include the portions of the Schaft Creek deposit where diamond drilling had been completed. The lithologies, sulphide content and metal grades obtained from the diamond drilling completed on the geophysical Sections were used in the interpretation of the geophysical responses obtained by the Survey.

A comparison of the geophysical response for the Null referenced, DC referenced, Resistivity and MT pseudo-sections shows excellent correlation. To view a geophysical model of the Schaft Creek mineral deposit based on the Null reference chargeability click here. A brief discussion of the IP anomalies defined on each Section is presented below:

Section 6361000:
The survey on this line was completed as a west and east portion due to hazardous terrain conditions. On the west side of the line, the IP anomaly is approximately 1,200 m wide and extends to a depth of 750 m. The western 400 m wide portion of this anomaly corresponds to the Paramount/West Breccia Zone where significant copper-molybdenum-gold-silver mineralization has been defined to an average depth of 400 m below surface. The 800 m wide portion of the IP anomaly located east of the Paramount/West Breccia Zone dips to the east under Mount LaCasse, is open at depth and requires testing by diamond drilling.

The east side of Section 6361000 covers the area of the proposed mill site where the two IP anomalies were located in 2008. The Quantec Survey located the 2008 IP anomalies and based on the diamond drilling information and the strength of the geophysical response, these anomalies are interpreted to represent a geological feature, not sulphide mineralization.

Section 6360600:
The IP anomaly is 1,500 m wide and extends to a depth of at least 750 m below surface. The western 550 m wide portion of this anomaly corresponds to the Paramount/West Breccia Zone where copper-molybdenum-gold-silver mineralization has been drilled to an average depth of 500 m below surface. The 850 m wide portion of this IP anomaly located east of the Paramount/West Breccia Zone dips to the east under Mount LaCasse and requires testing by diamond drilling.

Section 6360200:
The IP anomaly is 1,600 m wide and extends to a depth of 800 m at the center of the anomaly. This anomaly corresponds to the Main and West Breccia Zones where significant copper-molybdenum-gold-silver mineralization and has been intersected by drilling to an average depth of 500 metres below surface. The IP anomaly indicates that copper-molybdenum-gold-silver mineralization extend to a considerable depth below the 500 metre level. A 500 m wide portion of this anomaly located east of the Main Zone requires testing by diamond drilling.

Section 6350800:
Two IP anomalies have been located on this Section. The first anomaly is approximately 250 m wide, has a depth of 300 m and requires testing by diamond drilling. The second IP anomaly is 1,450 m wide; has a depth of approximately 600 m on the western side and a depth of 450 m on the east side. The IP anomaly corresponds to the Main and West Breccia Zones where significant copper-molybdenum-gold-silver mineralization has been drilled to a depth of 250 m. The portion of the IP anomaly below the 250 m level requires testing by diamond drilling.

Section 6350400:
The IP anomaly is 1,500 m wide and has an average thickness of 400 m. The western portion of this anomaly measures 300 m wide by 450 m deep and is located at a depth of 200 m below surface (interpreted to be faulted downward). The remaining 1,200 m wide portion of the anomaly is relatively flat lying and has an average depth of approximately 400 m. This anomaly corresponds to the Main and West Breccia Zones where significant copper-molybdenum-gold-silver mineralization has been drilled to a depth of 250 m below surface. A 250 m wide section on the east side of this anomaly requires testing by diamond drilling. The IP anomaly is open along strike to the south.

Quantec Titan-24 Survey Parameters:
The Quantec Titan-24 DCIP and MT system is a State of the Art geophysical tool used to explore forcopper mineralization. The Survey was completed on five lines surveyed by differential GPS instrumentation over the area of the proposed mill site and further to the west over the Schaft Creek deposit where a substantial amount of diamond drilling had been completed. Survey Sections were completed at 100 m station intervals and 400 metre line spacing. A total of 28.2 kms of DC/IP survey line (plus current extensions) and 22 kms of MT data were collected. Magnetotelluric, Resistivity and Chargeability data were collected at 50 metres stations along each Section. The Titan-24 survey typically images DC resistivity to depths of 500-750 m and the IP typically images to 500-750 m, in sub-vertical tabular geologic settings and up to 50% more for sub-horizontal settings. The interpretation of the data was completed by Quantec utilizing the lithology, estimated sulphide content and analytical results from the diamond drill holes completed on or near the geophysical Sections. The 3D inversion of the DC and IP data was completed using the UBC3D inversion code and is shown as Null referenced and DC referenced chargeability. In several cases, not all of the line could be surveyed due to hazardous terrain conditions. The 14 mRad contour on the UBC smoothed, Null Referenced pseudo-section was used to determine anomalous chargeability.

Several radio transmitters operate throughout the world in the VLF range, 15-30 kHz, and are used mainly for marine navigation, communication with submersed submarines, and other purposes.  The principle of VLF subsurface exploration is simple.  At large distances from the transmitter, the EM field is effectively planar and horizontal.  A conductor that strikes in the direction of the transmitter is cut by the magnetic vector, and these primary magnetic fields cause electric currents to flow in subsurface conductors.  In another, more recent, theory, the subsurface currents flow along interfaces between bodies of differing conductivity.

The Very Low Frequency (VLF) radio spectrum extends from 3 to 30 kHz. Standard communications receivers do not receive signals that low in frequency. Furthermore, most antennas used with standard communications receivers are optimized for higher frequencies and perform poorly in the VLF spectrum. Because of that, few Radio Amateurs or shortwave listeners have ever heard VLF signals and most know very little about the large number of stations in that part of the spectrum, what those stations are used for, or the nature of VLF radio signal propagation.

However, because VLF receivers and receiving antennas are easy to construct, the VLF spectrum attracts a small number of curious and sometimes very dedicated VLF listeners who want to learn more about this little-known and somewhat secretive part of the radio spectrum.

Signals from powerful VLF stations can be received worldwide. They penetrate deep into the earth and deep into the sea (especially in the lower portion of the VLF spectrum) and therefore can be received by submerged submarines. Though some VLF stations have other purposes, the primary function of most VLF stations is to communicate with submerged military submarines or help them navigate underwater.
