Key Changes

  • Upper part of Sulphur Springs deposit will be mined by open cut

  • Kangaroo Caves Underground Mine included in mining inventory

  • Reversion to conventional lined tailings dam

==> picture [381 x 233] intentionally omitted <==

Results

  • Less pre-production capital

  • Simpler to mine and operate

10.45Mt

The LoM schedule is derived from a mining inventory of which 67% is Indicated Resources and 33% is Inferred Resources, the LoM mining inventory does not constitute an Ore Reserve. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Mineral Resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of Indicated Mineral Resources or that the production target itself will be realised.

Panorama Project ... now a compelling development

  • Underground project is already shovel ready - approved Mining Leases, environmental approval and Native Title Agreements

  • Optimisation Study has delivered a more robust and compelling Project

  • Pre-production expenditure of $202M

  • Payback in 2.1 years

  • Simpler Project with much lower risk profile

  • C1 Cu cost of A$0.84 per pound

  • Mine life of 11 years

  • Environmental approval needs to be renewed to reflect change to open pit

  • Large tenure package covering 27 km of highly prospective stratigraphry along the Panorama Trend

...our focus is to get open pit to “Shovel Ready” status

8

Exploration to Enhance Value

  • Mine the databases

  • Undertake low cost smart exploration to add value

  • Build on good understanding of the fertile stratigraphy and deposit geology

  • Use latest processing and visualisation tools to reprocess existing geophysical database Experienced team with proven exploration capability

Integrate geology and geophysics to generate targets

....our focus is to identify drill ready targets

Panorama Project Exploration

Panorama Project Geology

Panorama Project includes :

  • Sulphur Springs and Kangaroo Caves Deposits,

==> picture [284 x 194] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

Sulphur Springs
12.8Mt 1.5% Cu & 4.1% Zn
Kangaroo Caves
27 km Panorama Trend 3.5 Mt 0.7% Cu & 6.0 % Zn
----- End of picture text -----

  • Six advanced exploration targets with ore grade intersections

  • 27 km of prospective stratigraphy along the Panorama trend

Program currently underway to use latest geophysical modelling technology to reprocess existing DHTEM data on both deposits to define plates outside current resource areas for drill testing.

10

Whim Creek Project – our second advanced Development Project

Whim Creek Project includes:

  • Whim Creek, Mons Cupri, Salt Creek and Evelyn Resources

  • 18,100 ha Prospective Exploration Ground

Represents best opportunity for immediate exploration success

  • Resource extension – existing resources open

  • Resource discovery – multiple partially explored ore horizons

2010 Scoping Study completed by Snowden (Released on ASX 26/11/2010)

  • Mining inventory sufficient to support a 9 year mine life at 600ktpa from a central plant located at Whim Creek

  • Production 7,800t copper, 13,900t zinc and 4,200t lead per annum

  • Infrastructure in place

  • Exploration upside

11

Mons Cupri - Largest Resource in Whim Creek Project

12

Pilbara Copper Zinc Projects - Next Steps

Panorama Project

  • Consultation with the DMP, EPA and other stakeholders on revised project scope

  • Refinement of the project concept outlined in the optimisation study

  • Referral to determine the level of assessment to be determined - early in 2016

  • Development and submission of appropriate documentation for the level of assessment process determined

Whim Creek Project

  • Develop conceptual targets

  • extension to existing Resources

  • additional data sets – grade control, VTEM

  • • latest processing and visualisation tools

  • Drill testing if funding permits

Blackrock Metals

  • The wild card that could provide upside in immediate future

13

Why Venturex….

  • Provides rare copper and zinc exposure on the ASX

Substantial resource portfolio provides excellent leverage to anticipated base metal price increases

  • Well located near infrastructure in a great jurisdiction

  • Panorama is a compelling project at consensus pricing and exchange rate

  • Large and highly prospective landholding with exploration potential

  • Undervalued relative to our peers
