[Tin is an EV Metal ] [(][Refer Figure 6). ] [It is listed as a Critical Mineral (as is Tungsten) by ] numerous countries around the world and is currently trading at ~US$39,000/t which is four times the price of Copper at ~US$9,500/t. There is currently less than two day’s global supply of tin held in stockpiles by the London Metal Exchange (LME).

==> picture [15 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

[Mount Lindsay is already one of the largest undeveloped tin projects in the world, ] containing in excess of 80,000 tonnes of tin metal and, within the same mineralised body, a globally significant tungsten (Critical Mineral in Australia) resource containing 3,200,000 MTU (metric tonne unit)[1 ] of WO3. Over 100,000m of diamond core drilling completed on the project predominately by Venture, which hosts a JORC compliant resource, 70% of which is in the Measured & Indicated categories (Refer Table Three).

Commenting on the latest high-grade results from the new drilling at Mount Lindsay, Venture Minerals’ Managing Director Andrew Radonjic, said:

“This new drilling at Mount Lindsay, focused on the high grade zones, is starting to unveil the exceptional value that Mount Lindsay truly holds. At current metal prices, this 147 metre drill intersection has an average recovered value of A$680 per tonne, taking into account metallurgical recovery test work from our previous feasibility study. This high value per tonne makes Mount Lindsay a very attractive proposition for underground mining.”

Venture Minerals Limited ( ASX: VMS ) (“ Venture ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to announce that new Drilling at the Mount Lindsay Tin-Tungsten Project ( Refer Figures 5 & 7 ), targeting high grade zones within the existing deposit, continues to return substantial intersections of high grade mineralisation with 147 metres @ 1.0% Sn and 0.2% WO3 from 90 m and still open down the hole awaiting further assay results. The intersection in ML340M ( Refer Figure 4 ) included a high grade zone of 45 m @ 2.5% Sn and 0.3% WO3 from 93 m or 9 m @ 5.9% Sn and 0.3% WO3 from 183 m. The drill program, designed to confirm the continuity of high grade zones and provide additional metallurgical samples, is part of the Company’s updated Feasibility Study for an underground mine. The significant intersections from ML339M included the following:

• 147 m @ 1.0% Sn and 0.2% WO3 or 1.2% Sn Eq from 90 m including

• 114 m @ 1.2% Sn and 0.2% WO3 or 1.5% Sn Eq from 93 m, or

• 99 m @ 1.4% Sn and 0.2% WO3 or 1.6% Sn Eq from 93 m, or

• 45 m @ 2.5% Sn and 0.3% WO3 or 2.9% Sn Eq from 147 m, or

• 9 m @ 5.9% Sn and 0.3% WO3 or 6.2% Sn Eq from 183 m.

Venture continues to drill additional holes on the Main Skarn’s High Grade MacDonald Shoot, this will be followed by similar targeted drilling on the No. 2 Skarn’s High Grade Radford Shoot. The preliminary assay results for ML340M, as for ML339M, were from a nearby laboratory that generated results using a similar analytical technique for some of the suite of elements that are routinely assayed for on Mount Lindsay drill core. The pulps will now be submitted to the preferred laboratory to provide assays for the missing elements and to check the values reported here using the analytical method chosen for the JORC compliant resource ( Refer Table Three ).

The underground Feasibility Study will advance previous scoping study work and includes additional drilling (currently in progress) to further confirm the continuity of the High-Grade MacDonald (named after Tom MacDonald, who discovered the Main Zone at Mount Lindsay in 1909 - Refer to ASX Announcement 27 October 2008 ) Shoot in the Main Skarn, and the High-Grade Radford (named after local identity) Shoot in the No.2 Skarn. Current drilling will also provide material for finalising a cost effective, gravity-focused, processing flowsheet to concentrate the high-density minerals cassiterite (tin oxide - 79% Sn) and scheelite (81% WO3) ( Refer Figures 1 to 3 ). Additional work will include further detailed engineering studies to firm up the mine design and updating of the permit to reflect the change in mining and processing strategies. The Company is in the process of building a dedicated team to manage the Study program and will update shareholders as carefully selected individuals with strong backgrounds in the development of base metals assets in Australia with a focus on Tin and/or Tungsten, join the group.

The Mount Lindsay Project ( Refer Figures 5 & 7 ) is already classified by the Australian Government as a Critical Minerals Project[2] with an advanced Tin-Tungsten asset, which is significantly enhanced by the recent discovery of two new skarn zones, one within the Renison Mine Sequence in the Mount Lindsay area and the other along strike from Mount Lindsay’s main tin deposits ( Refer to ASX Announcement 27 September 2021 ). Mount Lindsay is already one of the largest undeveloped tin projects in the world, containing in excess of 80,000 tonnes of tin metal and within the same mineralised body a globally significant tungsten resource containing 3,200,000 MTU (metric tonne unit) of WO3. The Australian Government is supporting the Critical Minerals Sector through several initiatives including the establishment of a A$2 billion finance facility announced in September to be administered by Export Finance Australia which Venture is working to access for the project.

Tin is now recognised as a fundamental metal to the battery revolution and new technology ( Refer Figure 6 ). The International Tin Association is predicting a surge in demand driven by the lithium-ion battery market, of up to 60,000tpa by 2030 (world tin consumption was 328,400t in 2020[3] ).

1. A Metric Tonne Unit (‘MTU’) is equal to ten kilograms per metric tonne and is the standard weight measure of tungsten. Tungsten prices are generally quoted as US dollars per MTU of tungsten trioxide (WO3).

2. Refer to ‘Australian Critical Minerals Prospectus 2021’ report prepared by the Australian Government represented by the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) and Geoscience Australia, December 2020. 3. DATA: International Tin Association, CRU, WBMS.

*Notes:

• The Sn equivalent formula used to calculate the Sn equivalent values for the Main Skarn is as follows: Sn Equivalent (%) = Sn% + (WO3% x 0.9257) + (mass recovery % of magnetic Fe x 0.0045) + (Cu% x 0.1687);

• The mass recovery of the magnetic iron (magnetic recovery) was estimated via regression of magnetic susceptibility against previously determined Davis Tube Recovery (DTR) data (n >2000) for the Main and No. 2 Skarns according to the formula Magnetic Recovery % = Magnetic susceptibility 10-3 SI units * 0.0318 + 4.6278;

• The Sn equivalent formulae use a tin metal price of US$39,000/t, an APT (Ammonium Para Tungstate) price of US$310/mtu (1mtu =10kgs of WO3), a magnetite concentrate price of US$125/t and a copper metal price of US$9,500/t;

• Pilot scale metallurgical testwork has been completed on the Main and No.2 Skarns as part of the previously completed Feasibility Study as announced on the 7[th of] November 2012 with results indicating the metallurgical recovery for tin is 72%, for WO3 is 83%, for iron in the form of magnetite is 98% and for copper is 58%. The results of this testwork are stated in the ASX release dated 31 August 2012;

• In the Company’s opinion it believes all elements included in the metal equivalent calculation (as shown above) have a reasonable potential to be sold.

• The Sn equivalent formula used to calculate the Sn equivalent values for the Main and No.2 Skarns is as follows: Sn Equivalent (%) = Sn% + (WO3% x 1.90459) + (mass recovery % of magnetic Fe x 0.006510) + (Cu% x 0.28019). Whereas for the Sn equivalent formula used to calculate the Sn equivalent values for the Stanley River South and Reward Skarns is as follows: Sn Equivalent (%) = Sn% + (WO3% x 1.65217) + (Cu% x 0.34783);

• The mass recovery of the magnetic iron is determined mostly by Davis Tube Results (“DTR”);

• The Sn equivalent formulae use a tin metal price of US$23,000/t, an APT (Ammonium Para Tungstate) price of US$380/mtu (1mtu =10kgs of WO3), a magnetite concentrate price of US$110/t and a copper metal price of US$8,000/t;

• Pilot scale metallurgical testwork has been completed on the Main and No.2 Skarns with results indicating the metallurgical recovery for tin is 72%, for WO3 is 83%, for iron in the form of magnetite is 98% and for copper is 58%. The results of this testwork are stated in the ASX release dated 31 August 2012;

• It is the Company’s opinion that the tin, WO3 and copper as included in the metal equivalent calculations for the Stanley River South and Reward Skarns have a reasonable potential to be recovered for when the Mt Lindsay Project goes into production.

About Venture

Venture Minerals Ltd (ASX: VMS) is entering an exciting phase as the Company moved from a highly successful explorer to producer with completion of the first shipment from the Riley Iron Ore Mine in northwest Tasmania. At the neighbouring Mount Lindsay Tin-Tungsten Project, higher Tin prices and the recognition of Tin as a fundamental metal to the battery revolution has refocused Venture’s approach to developing Mount Lindsay. Already one of the world's largest undeveloped Tin-Tungsten deposits, the Company has commenced an Underground Feasibility Study on Mount Lindsay that will leverage off the previously completed work. In Western Australia, Chalice Mining (ASX: CHN) recently committed to spend up to $3.7m in Venture’s South West Project, to advance previous exploration completed by Venture to test a Julimar lookalike Nickel-Copper-PGE target. At the Company’s Golden Grove North Project, it has already intersected up to 7% Zinc, 1.3% Copper and 2.1g/t Gold at Orcus and has identified several, strong EM conductors to be drill tested along the 5km long VMS (Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide) Target Zone, along strike to the world class Golden Grove Zinc-Copper-Gold Mine. Venture recently doubled the Nickel-Copper-PGE landholding at Kulin by securing two highly prospective 20-kilometre long Ni-Cu-PGE targets.

COVID-19 Business Update

Venture is responding to the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure impacts are mitigated across all aspects of Company operations. Venture continues to assess developments and update the Company’s response with the highest priority on the safety and wellbeing of employees, contractors and local communities. Venture will utilise a local workforce and contractors where possible, and for critical mine employees that are required to fly in and fly out, Venture has obtained the appropriate COVID-19 entry permits into Tasmania.

These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. • Measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. • Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g.: ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g.: submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
Drilling techniques	• Drill type (e.g.: core, reverse circulation, open- hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc..) and details (e.g.: core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face- sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc..).	• This report is based on a single drill hole ML340M drilled with a CSD1800 track mounted diamond coring rig operated by Wholecore Pty Ltd. • ML340M was cored from surface through weathered and broken basement to end of hole at 311.8 m with HQ diameter core.

Criteria	Explanation	Commentary
Exploration done by other parties	• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by	• Alluvial tin was discovered in the Stanley River area around 1893 and subsequently developed into the Stanley River Tin Fields. Cassiterite-bearing gossans were subsequently discovered at Stanley Reward and the adjacent Mount Lindsay in the early 1900s with minor small-scale open-cut and underground tin mining occurring to about 1932. Production records are incomplete but included at least 59.8 tons of lode tin from Mount Lindsay, and at least 79.6 tons of alluvial tin. Exploration for skarn and carbonate replacement tin mineralisation was resumed in the 1960s by several mining and exploration companies, most notably CSR Ltd, Aberfoyle Tin Development Partnership and Renison Ltd, and continued until the mid-1980s.
	other parties.
Geology	• Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.	• The Mount Lindsay – Stanley River magnetite-tin-tungsten deposits are hosted by the Neoproterozoic Success Creek Group and Crimson Creek Formation within the southern contact metamorphic aureole of the Meredith Granite. The Meredith Granite is part of a suite of Devonian granites which is very important to tin-tungsten mineralisation in Tasmania, and deposits associated with this suite include the Renison Bell and Mount Bischoff tin mines, the Cleveland tin and copper mine, and the King Island tungsten mine. • Exploration indicates the presence of at least eight magnetite-tin- tungsten skarn, greisenized skarn and carbonate replacement deposits in the Mount Lindsay – Stanley River area. Resources are reported here for the Main and No.2 deposits which are hosted by calcareous sandstone horizons within the Crimson Creek Formation, and the Reward and Stanley River South deposits within dolomite and conglomerate of the Renison Mine Sequence, upper Success Creek Group and lowermost Crimson Creek Formation.
Drill hole Information	• A summary of all information material to the	• ML340M was drilled to confirm the continuity of the high grade zones within the Main Skarn (MacDonald Shoot) at Mount Lindsay and to provide additional metallurgical samples. • Location and orientation details are given in Table 1. • Collar location was determined by handheld Garmin GPS64 and is considered accurate to ±5m. • Topographic control is provided by LiDAR survey flown and processed by AAM Hatch for Venture Minerals and considered accurate to ±30cm. • Additional geographic reference is provided by Tasmanian Department of State Growth LIST topographic data and map sheets.

Data aggregation methods	• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting	• Assay results given in Table 2 represent the drill core and the drill cuttings intervals as sampled and assayed. • No data aggregation methods have been applied. • Metal equivalents have been used and the assumptions used have been clearly stated in this report.
	averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. • Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. • The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.
Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths	• These relationships are particularly important in	• Bedding in orientated drill core indicate drilling was at a low angle to stratigraphy. The apparent thickness of the observed sulfide and magnetite skarn is not considered close to true thickness.
