Chairman’s Report

Dear Shareholders

The last financial year has been one of great progress for your Company.

The acquisition of Straits (Whim Creek) Pty Ltd (now Venturex Pilbara Pty Ltd) has enabled the Company to consolidate three Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) fields in the Pilbara Region under one owner for the first time. The acquisition has also provided the Company with a well developed mining infrastructure centre at Whim Creek.

==> picture [88 x 108] intentionally omitted <==

The Company is currently undertaking a scoping study into the potential development of a centralised CuZn-Pb-Ag-Au production facility at Whim Creek and, following its successful completion, we expect to finalise a feasibility study in the second half of this financial year.

The Company has been very active announcing a maiden JORC compliant resource for the Liberty-Indee VMS Project and more recently, reporting significant JORC compliant resource-reserve expansions for the Whim Creek VMS deposits. Exploration to further grow the existing resources and find new discoveries in these highly prospective VMS projects will continue throughout the 2011 financial year.

Early in the year, the purchase of CMG Gold Limited was completed providing shareholders exposure to the robust gold market. Our Brazilian subsidiary, CMG Mineração Ltda, controls several advanced gold projects in the Cuiabá gold district, Mato Grosso. Using our established in-country exploration team, the Company is evaluating additional gold exploration and development opportunities in Brazil, with a particular focus on the prolific Tapajós gold district.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the dedication and hard work of our management and staff located in Perth, Whim Creek and Brazil.

Venturex is now well positioned as an emerging base metals and gold production company

Yours sincerely

TONY KIERNAN Non-Executive Chairman

Review of Operations

AUSTRALIA

Pilbara VMS Project

During the year the Company made significant progress in its goal of establishing a central hub for processing VMS base metal deposits in the Pilbara. Key developments include a successful drilling campaign at the Evelyn Prospect, Liberty-Indee; settlement of the Whim Creek acquisition; infill and extensional drilling at Mons Cupri, Salt Creek and Whim Creek; estimation of enhanced Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves in accordance with the JORC Code 2004; and commencement of a scoping study for the development of the centralised production centre at Whim Creek. A total of 10,533 metres of reverse circulation (RC) and 2,862 metres of diamond were drilled in the Project area in 2009-2010.

==> picture [246 x 168] intentionally omitted <==

Mons Cupri

At the key Mons Cupri deposit, RC and diamond drilling increased the grade, size and continuity of three distinct geological domains:

  • Central high grade copper zone and zinc-lead-silver zone;

  • Low grade zinc zone; and

  • Copper stringer zone.

Substantial widths of copper mineralisation, along with zones of zinc, lead, silver and gold were intersected. The first hole (MCR001) intersected 53 metres of copper mineralisation, including a higher grade zone of 22 metres @ 2.9% Cu. Intersections in holes MCR004 (12 metres grading 0.9% Cu) and MCR006 (39 metres grading 1.9% Cu and 1.17g/t Au) have expanded the main zone of copper mineralisation to the southwest. Gold grades are significant, including 9 metres grading 4.14g/t Au in MCR006. MCR005 intersected 63 metres grading 1.9% Cu, including a significant lower zone of chalcopyrite stringer mineralisation. Vertical diamond hole MCD001 intersected 39.4 metres grading 2.8% Cu and 1.61g/t Au from 33 metres, including an upper zone of 18 metres grading 5.0% Cu and 3.39g/t Au.

Mons Cupri Drill results Table (all RC except MCD001)

The Mons Cupri Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve were re-estimated in accordance with the JORC Code 2004. The revised global Mineral Resource estimate (all categories) is: 4.94 million tonnes grading 1.6% Cu Eq 1 (at a cut-off grade of 0.6% Cu Eq).

A new Probable Ore Reserve estimate of 2.77 million tonnes grading 2.2% Cu Eq represents a tonnage increase of 63% and a 74% increase in contained copper equivalent metal to 61,000 tonnes , compared with the previous Ore Reserve estimate for the Mons Cupri deposit.

==> picture [349 x 218] intentionally omitted <==

Mons Cupri Cross-section 7690830mN showing resource blocks at various grades and optimum Whittle shell

The new Mineral Resource estimate does not include a broad halo of low-grade stringer copper mineralisation that does not directly underlie the main Mons Cupri deposit and high grade sulphide mineralisation below the Northwest Pits. Both zones of mineralisation are being re-evaluated and incorporated into resource revisions in 2010-2011.

There is excellent potential for further additions to the resources and reserves in the Mons Cupri area and additional drilling programs are planned in 2010-2011. The main Mons Cupri sulphide zone remains open to the north and northwest and may link with high grade sulphide mineralisation intersected in the Mons Cupri Northwest pit area.

1 Copper Equivalent (CuEq) values are determined as follows: Cu% + Zn% x 0.28 + Pb% x 0.26 + Ag(ppm) x 0.008 + Au(ppm) x 0.53.

Salt Creek

Resource definition drilling at Salt Creek has intersected very high grade zinc-lead-silver mineralisation. In the eastern massive sulphide lens, diamond hole SCD005 intersected 3.45 metres grading 49.2% Zn, 7.1% Pb, 327g/t Ag and 4.13g/t Au and SCD009 intersected 4.75 metres grading 47.8% Zn, 8.7% Pb, 294g/t Ag and 0.90g/t Au. The true width of this sub-vertical massive lens is estimated to range from two to three metres. In the western massive sulphide lens, diamond hole SCD002 intersected 12.8 metres grading 8.8% Zn, 4.7% Pb, 76g/t Ag and 0.54g/t Au. The drilling results have confirmed the continuity of very high grade mineralisation in the main zinc-lead-silver lenses at Salt Creek and support the potential for selective high-grade underground mining. A revised JORC compliant Mineral Resource estimation for these high grade zinc-lead-silver lenses.

In a new development, significant indium grades are also present in the massive sulphide zones, including 3.45m grading 223g/t In in SCD005 and 4.75m grading 69g/t In in SCD009. With the growing usage of indium in liquid crystal displays and thin-film solar technolog ies, the price of indium has increased substantially in the last 5 years and now trades at approximately US$600/kg after reaching a high of US$1,000/kg in 2006. The potential to recover the indium content to commercial zinc and lead concentrates is yet to be determined.

Long section of the Salt Creek VMS Deposit showing location of high grade zinc-lead-silver envelopes and lower copper envelope.

Liberty-Indee

(70%, 90% on decision to mine)

The Liberty-Indee Project is located 35km south of Whim Creek. Regional mapping has delineated a bi-modal volcanic sequence similar in character to many classic VMS settings around the world. The prospective VMS-host stratigraphy has been traced for over 12 strike kilometres and several mapped gossans and VTEM anomalies have been identified along its length.

Previously, Venturex has reported high grade copper-zinc-silver-gold intersections in massive sulphide at the Evelyn Prospect. RC drilling continued in the past year returned further significant intersections including: 20m grading 3.43% Cu, 6.47% Zn, 65g/t Ag, 1.73g/t Au; 17m grading 4.16% Cu, 8.7% Zn, 66g/t Ag, 1.03g/t Au and 15m grading 2.37% Cu, 3.75% Zn, 45g/t Ag, 0.84g/t Au. A subsequent phase of deeper drilling intersected massive sulphide mineralisation at a depth of approximately 200 metres below surface with RC hole number JER 56 intersecting 5 metres of massive sulphide with visible chalcopyrite from 231 metres, followed by a further 2.5 metres of disseminated mineralisation. The drilling has confirmed a high grade lens of mineralisation at least 240 metres in strike length with a true width of up to 16 metres. The massive sulphide lens is interpreted to plunge to the north and is open at depth. Grades within the massive sulphide zones are highly consistent with an average weighted grade of 3.71% Cu, 7.04% Zn, 65g/t Ag and 1.37g/t Au. To date, the total strike length of economically significant massive sulphide mineralisation is approximately 400 metres.

Review of Operations

An Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 657,000 tonnes grading 1.8% Cu, 3.7% Zn, 36g/t Ag and 0.8g/t Au was calculated for the Evelyn sulphide and transitional zone providing an initial and valuable contribution to the growing regional resource inventory around the recently acquired Whim Creek Operation. The Evelyn deposit remains open at depth and further resource growth is anticipated.

A single HQ diamond hole was drilled at the Evelyn Deposit to provide density data and metallurgical testwork samples. The hole intersected 9.7 metres of massive sulphide mineralisation assaying 3.7% Cu, 4.4% Zn and 1.1g/t Au. The average density of the interval was 4.5g/cm3, 9% higher than the value used in the preliminary resource model.

RC and Diamond (JED005) Drill Results – Evelyn Project

Oxide Zones

The VMS lenses are partially to completely oxidised within 20 vertical metres of surface. Significant intersections in the oxide and supergene zones include 17 metres grading 0.66% Cu from 0 metres and 20 metres grading 5.64% Cu from 16 metres, including 3 metres grading 29.8% Cu from 26 metres. A modest oxide copper resource is anticipated in these zones.

Liberty-Indee Regional Exploration

Regional field work has identified other historic workings and gossans two kilometres south of Evelyn and three kilometres north at Quarmby. It is anticipated that these areas will be drill tested in 2010-2011.

Regional Pilbara VMS Exploration

The Company believes that significant potential exists to discover additional VMS deposits in the Whim Creek, Salt Creek and Liberty-Indee Project areas. To date, only five significant VMS deposits are known (all outcropping) while VMS Districts of similar scale typically contain 8-19 economic deposits. Approximately 36 km of known VMS horizon is yet to be fully explored with numerous gossans to be evaluated by drilling. Even in well explored areas there is limited drilling below a depth of 150 metres

On the Salt Creek trend, seven holes drilled at Balla Balla (three at Balla Balla and four at West Balla) around existing intersections intersected only weak mineralisation. The best hole BB023 was drilled along strike to the east of known mineralisation at Balla Balla and intersected 10 metres of sulphide mineralisation including a three metre zone of moderate to strong mineralisation (20-70% sulphides) containing mainly sphalerite with minor chalcopyrite and galena. This mineralisation is open to the east and down dip and will be further assessed together with other significant base metal anomalies identified on the Salt Creek VMS trend.

At Mons Cupri, several gossanous outcrops located on the outcropping VMS horizon to the north and south of the Mons Cupri Deposit were mapped and evaluated as future drill targets.

Scoping Study

The Company appointed Snowden Mining Consultants to undertake a Scoping Study into the development of a centralized Cu-Zn-Pb (AgAu) processing facility at Whim Creek. The Study draws on a significant technical database compiled by Straits Resources Limited and the revised Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimates and is expected to be completed in the second quarter of the 2010-2011 financial year. Key components of the Study include:

  • Open pit mining at Mons Cupri, Whim Creek & Evelyn years 1-5

  • High grade underground ore from Salt Creek in years 5-8

  • Target production rate of 600-700ktpa grading >2.0% Cu Eq

  • Standard VMS metallurgy

  • Final feasibility decision in 2nd quarter of 2010-2011

  • Development decision likely before 4th quarter 2010-2011

  • Production possible by mid-2012

Recommencement of SX-EW Copper Operations

During the year Venturex entered into an Agreement with WASCO Pty Ltd to recommence small-scale SX-EW operations at Whim Creek. WASCO commenced installation of a five tonne per day SX-EW plant in late July 2010. Sulphuric acid storage tanks were refurbished during the last quarter and irrigation of the existing heap leach pads is expected to recommence in the December 2010 quarter. Items of plant, including mixers, settlers and tanks have been constructed offsite. Production of cathode copper is expected to commence in the March 2011 quarter. Venturex holds a non-contributing 50% net profit interest (after recovery of capital) in the venture.

Other Australian Exploration

Soil sampling programs were conducted on the Kooline and Tarrawarra tenements located in the Ashburton and Carnarvon Basins, respectively. Weak gold anomalies were delineated at Kooline but follow-up work is not warranted. The tenement was halved during the year. Significant zinc-silver anomalies were confirmed at Tarrawarra. A short reconnaissance drill program may be conducted in the 20102011 year to test the anomaly for stratiform zinc-lead-silver mineralisation.

BRAZIL - FOCUSED ON GOLD EXPLORATION

During the year, the Company completed the acquisition of CMG Gold Ltd with controls CMG Mineração Ltda (CMGM), a focused Brazilian gold exploration company holding advanced gold assets in Mato Grosso. The primary goal of CMGM is to discover a large (> one million ounce) gold deposit.

Jatoba, Mato Grosso

Three diamond holes drilled beneath the Jatoba pit intersected broad zones of biotite, sericite and carbonate alteration but no significant gold assays were returned. It is believed that the auriferous veins observed on the pit floor were not adequately tested by drilling and further analysis of in-pit geology will be undertaken to determine the location and orientation of gold bearing structures. The Jatoba 866505 exploration licence was renewed for a further three years.

Tanque Fundo, Mato Grosso

Limited sampling work was conducted at Tanque Fundo. The exploration licence (866855) was renewed for a further three years.

St Elina, Mato Grosso

Six HQ diamond holes and 21 RC holes were drilled at the Abelha, Serra Dourada, Legarto and Bandierantes prospects. At Abelha low grade gold was intersected in holes 09SEDD001 (5 metre grading 0.21g/t Au from 2 metres) and 09SERC003 (4 metres grading 0.25g/t from 4 metres). These zones are within an east-dipping sequence of pyritic sheared and veined sandstones. At Legarto, two diamond holes for 149.8 metres were completed. Core recovery was hampered due to poor ground conditions, varying from intensely silicified breccias to soft ferruginous and kaolinitic material. A best result of 3.05 metres grading 0.56g/t was returned from a depth of 32.55 metres in hole 09SEDD006. A similar result of 3 metres grading 0.37g/t Au was returned from 14 metres in hole 09SERC015. At the Bandeirantes Prospect six RC holes for 321 metres were completed. The holes intersected breccia, schists and intensely deformed quartz veins. Following evaluation of all drill results and consideration of further exploration potential, the Company elected not to exercise its option to acquire the St Elina Project.

Review of Operations

Rio Pombo, Mato Grosso

Gold assays were received for 1,500 metres of trenching across veins, shears and broad zones of alteration in a range of predominantly granitic lithologies. Intersections include two metres grading 17.9 g/t Au and two metres grading 37.5 g/t Au. Disseminated pyrite and sheared sericite altered granitoids are the predominant host to broad low grade gold mineralisation. An initial drill program may be conducted in the current financial year.

Project Generation

During the year, CMGM continued to evaluate properties in Mato Grosso and identified farm-in or outright acquisition opportunities in Tapajós Region of Para State. It is expected that negotiations and technical assessment on tenements and tenure for a project in the Tapajós Region will be concluded in the December quarter of 2010.

At the Castelo dos Sohnos Project in Para, 20 samples collected from outcropping quartz vein systems did not return significant gold results. A number of additional garimpo workings in the local area will be evaluated before considering whether to withdraw this application.

Mons Cupri and Whim Creek Mi neral Resource Estimate Parameters
Tenement The Mons Cupri Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) deposit is within M47/238 and the Whim Creek VMS deposit is
within M47/236 and M47/443 which are wholly owned by Venturex Pilbara Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of Venturex Resources
Limited.
Geology Mons Cupri and Whim Creek are Archaean polymetallic (Cu, Zn, Pb, Ag, Au) VMS deposits hosted by volcanogenic
sediments. There are twoprincipal styles of mineralisation: stratabound massive sulphide and stringer/feeder.
Previous Exploration The sulphide zone at Mons Cupri was discovered by Texas Gulf Australia Ltd in the late 1960s. Further drilling was
conducted by Dominion Mining Ltd and Straits (Whim Creek) Pty Ltd. In the 1960s and 1970s drilling and mining studies
were conducted at the Whim Creek deposit by Whim Creek Consolidated NL and Dominion Mining Ltd. Straits (Whim
Creek) mined the oxide resources via open cuts. Venturex Resources Limited acquired Straits (Whim Creek) Pty Ltd in
February2010 and commenced drillingin May2010.
Drilling Technique The drilling is diamond and reverse circulation (RC) with the majority of recent drilling being RC. Diamond core size is HQ
and NQ. Core recovery is generally excellent. Core orientations were done where possible. Hole intersections points
within the orebody are generally spaced 15 – 30 metres, with the majority less than 20 metres. Down hole orientation
information is mainly from 30 metres-spaced single shots, with more recent drilling having some gyro to confirm the
single shots. At Mons Cupri hole orientation is generally 30 – 90 degrees to the stratiform component of the ore body
with the majority being ~60 degrees. At Whim Creek hole orientation is generally 60 – 90 degrees with the majority
being~80 degrees.
Logging and core photo’s Geological logging is sufficient and representative across the deposits. Wet core photographs have been taken of holes
drilled in the last 6years.
Sampling Technique At Mons Cupri samples used in the resource estimation area are approximately 50% diamond core and 50% RC chips.
Core samples aregenerally<1.5 metres. Recent RC samples aregenerally1m splits.
Sample preparation and Assay
Technique
Recent samples were analysed at UltraTrace Laboratories, Perth, WA. Samples were dried, crushed, split with a riffle
splitter and pulverized. Au, Cu & Zn was determined by ICP Optical Emission Spectrometry. Ag & Pb was determined by
ICP Mass Spectrometry.
Database and QAQC DataShed~~™~~was used for drill hole and sample data storage and validation. Samples with QAQC data were evaluated
using QAQCR assay quality reporting software. QAQC data evaluation included field duplicates, lab standards, repeats
and lab blank flushes.
Interpretation Geological confidence is high for the main high grade stratabound zone in both deposits. At Mon Cupri geological
confidence is moderate in the lower zinc zone and the stringer/feeder zone where grade distributions are more erratic
and data density is lower. Cut-off grades were determined using log probability plots. The high grade zone wireframes
were interpreted using a 0.8% Cu and 2% Zn cut-off. At Mons Cupri the stinger/feeder zone was interpreted using 0.2%
Cu cut-off.
Dimensions At Mons Cupri the high grade stratabound zone measures ~300 metres (NW) by 160 metres (NE). It is approximately 30
metres thick and dips to the west at 30 degrees. The stringer feeder zone measures 350 metres (EW), 150 metres (down
dip) and is generally 30 metres thick.
At Whim Creek.the ore body measures ~500 metres (EW) by ~100 metres (NS). It averages 8 metres in thickness and
dips ~30 degrees to the north.
Estimation and Modelling
Techniques
The block models and estimations were conducted using Vulcan 8.0 software. The block model had a parent cell
measuring 10 metres (X axis), 10 metres (Y) and 3 metres (Z) with sub-cells of 2 metres (X), 2 metres (Y), 0.5 metres (Z).
This block size is appropriate given an average drill spacing of 20 metres. The estimation was performed using ordinary
kriging. Search ellipse parameters were derived from variograms using Snowden Supervisor software. Top cuts were
determined using log probability plots. At Mons Cupri a top cut of 4g/t Au and 2% Pb was used in the high grade domain
and top cuts of 4% Zn and 1.5% Pb were used in the copper stringer/feeder zone. At Whim Creek top cuts of 15% Cu and
20% Pb were used in the transitional zone. The estimations were validated against original composite grades, by section
andglobally.
Moisture Tonnages are estimated on a drybasis. Moisture content in ore is expected to be verylow.
Bulk Density For the Mons Cupri deposit assigned average specific gravity (SG) values were used in the resource estimation: 2.3 g/cm~~3~~
for oxide waste (based on historical determinations), 2.8 g/cm3for fresh waste, 2.9 g/cm3for the stringer/feeder zone,
3.0 g/cm3for the high grade copper zone and 3.2 g/cm3for the high grade zinc zone. SG was determined by the water
immersion technique on drill core.
For the Whim Creek deposit assigned specific gravity (SG) values were used in the resource estimation based on historical
determinations: 2.67 g/cm3for oxide material, 2.76 g/cm3for transitional and fresh waste, 2.79 g/cm3for transitional ore
and 2.91g/cm3for fresh ore.
Classification Classifications into Inferred, Indicated and Measured categories are based on a combination of average weighted
distance from samplepoints,variography,drill densityandgeological confidence.
Cu Eq Calculation The Cu Eq (Copper Equivalent) calculation is based on metal values and relative process recoveries (see below). Based on
metallurgical recoveries and projected concentrate grades, the Company believes that revenue will be received for each
of these metals. The Cu Eq formula used in this report is as follows:
Cu Eq= Cu% + Zn% x 0.28 + Pb% x 0.26 + Ag(ppm)x 0.008 + Au(ppm)x 0.513
Mons Cupri and Whim Creek Or e Reserve Parameters
Status of scoping studies Venturex Resources Limited (the Company) is currently conducting a Scoping Study into the development of a base
metals operation centred on the established Whim Creek Mining Leases (M47/236, M47/237, M47/238, M47/443,
M47/323, M47/324). The Study is based on feasibility studies previously conducted by Straits Resources Limited from
2004 to 2008. Previous work includes resource/reserve estimation, open pit and underground mine design, metallurgical
test work, mill design and costing and environmental and social impacts. The Company is of the view that a substantial
component of the Mons Cupri and Whim Creek Mineral Resource can be converted to Ore Reserves because there is a
reasonable expectation that an economically-viable development will proceed and additional approvals, licences and
contracts will be received or modified. The Whim Creek site includes substantial mining infrastructure, including crusher,
workshops,water bores, power distribution systems,accommodation and haul roads.

Market Assessment The Company has conducted extensive evaluations of demand, supply and stock situations for copper, zinc, lead and the
precious metal by-products. The metal values used in the optimization are considered reasonable in the context of
consensus demand/supplyoutlook.

Cut-offparameters The economic cut-offgrade based on the estimated NSR,miningcosts and siteprocessingcosts is 0.85% Cu Eq.
Dilution Mining dilution is considered to be incorporated into block grade estimates because of the smearing effect of ordinary
kriging. In subsequent feasibility studies, specific dilution parameters will be determined for the edges of the ore
domains, but given the thickness and continuity of mineralisation and gradational ore contacts on the lower margins, net
dilution is expected to be minimal.

Salt Creek Mineral Resource Estimation Parameters

Salt Creek Mineral Resource Estimation Parameters Salt Creek Mineral Resource Estimation Parameters
Tenement The Salt Creek Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) deposit is within M47/323 which is wholly owned by Venturex
Pilbara PtyLtd,a subsidiaryof Venturex Resources Limited.
Geology Salt Creek is an Archaean polymetallic (Cu, Zn, Pb, Ag, Au) VMS deposit hosted by steeply dipping, overturned
volcanogenic sediments. There is usually a footwall ignimbrite. There are two principal styles of mineralisation:
stratabound Zn-Pb-Ag massive sulphide and stratabound Cu sulphide The two types of mineralisation are discrete, sub-
parallel and rarelyin contact.
Previous Exploration The sulphide zone at Salt Creek was discovered by Texas Gulf Australia Ltd in the late 1960s. Further drilling was
conducted by Dominion Mining Ltd and Straits (Whim Creek) Pty Ltd. Venturex Resources Limited acquired Straits (Whim
Creek)PtyLtd in February2010 and commenced drillingin May2010.
Drilling Technique The drilling is diamond and reverse circulation (RC) with the majority of recent drilling being diamond. Diamond core size
is HQ and NQ. Core recovery is generally excellent. Core orientations were done where possible. Hole intersections
points within the orebody are generally spaced 20 - 50 metres. Down hole orientation information is mainly from 30
metres-spaced single shots, with more recent drilling having some gyro and multishots to confirm the single shots. The
angle of intersection with the massive sulphide lenses isgenerally45 degree.
Logging and core photo’s Geological logging is sufficient and representative across the deposits. Wet core photographs have been taken of holes
drilled in the last 6years.
Sampling Technique Samples used in the resource estimation area are approximately 90% diamond core and 10% RC chips. Core samples are
generally<1 metre. Recent RC samples aregenerally1m splits.
Sample preparation and Assay
Technique
Samples were analysed at ALS Laboratories, Perth, WA. Au was determined by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy, Ag, Cu,
Pb,Zn was determined byICP-AES(Inductively-Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometer).
Database and QAQC DataShed~~™~~was used for drill hole and sample data storage and validation. Samples with QAQC data were evaluated
using QAQCR assay quality reporting software. QAQC data evaluation included field duplicates, lab standards, repeats
and lab blank flushes.

Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Tabulation

Interpretation There are three main zinc-lead-silver massive sulphide lenses, Contacts with surrounding sediments and volcanic are
generally sharp. Continuity between drill intersection points is reasonably planar. The copper zone is broader and
increases in strike length with depth.
Dimensions Zinc-lead-silver massive sulphide lenses are 100-150 metres x 200 metres with true widths of 1-5 metres. The lenses dip
steeply to the north and pitch steeply to the east. The copper lenses have less clearly defined margins. They are sub-
parallel to the zinc-lead-silver lenses and widen to around 7 metres true thickness in highergrade zones.
Estimation and Modelling
Techniques
The block models and estimations were conducted using Surpac V6.01 software. The block model had a parent cell
measuring 2 metres (X axis), 20 metres (Y) and 20 metres (Z) with sub-cells of 2 metres (X), 5 metres (Y), 5 metres (Z).
This block size is appropriate given an average drill spacing of 50 metres. The estimation was performed using ordinary
kriging. Search ellipseparameters were derived from variograms.
Moisture Tonnages are estimated on a drybasis. Moisture content in ore is expected to be verylow.
Bulk Density Bulk densities were estimated byordinarykrigingfor ore domains.
Classification Classifications into Inferred and Indicated categories are based on drill densityandgeological confidence.
Cu Eq Calculation The Cu Eq (Copper Equivalent) calculation is based on metal values and relative process recoveries (see below). Based on
metallurgical recoveries and projected concentrate grades, the Company believes that revenue will be received for each
of these metals. The Cu Eq formula used in this report is as follows:
Cu Eq= Cu% + Zn% x 0.28 + Pb% x 0.26 + Ag(ppm)x 0.008 + Au(ppm)x 0.513
Salt Creek Open Pit and Underground Ore Reserve Estimation Parameters
Status of scoping studies Venturex Resources Limited (the Company) is currently conducting a Scoping Study into the development of a base
metals operation centred on the established Whim Creek and Salt Creek Mining Leases (M47/236, M47/237, M47/238,
M47/443, M47/323, M47/324). The Study is based on feasibility studies previously conducted by Straits Resources
Limited from 2004 to 2008. Previous work includes resource/reserve estimation, open pit and underground mine design,
metallurgical test work, mill design and costing and environmental and social impacts. The Company is of the view that a
substantial component of the Salt Creek Resource can be converted to Ore Reserves because there is a reasonable
expectation that an economically-viable development will proceed and additional approvals, licences and contracts will
be received or modified. The Whim Creek site includes substantial mining infrastructure, including crusher, workshops,
water bores, power distribution systems,accommodation and haul roads.
Metal Pricing and Marketing The Probable Ore Reserves was estimated using the following parameters:
 Metal prices

Copper US$7936/t; Zinc US$2314/t; Lead US$1983/t; Silver US$18/oz; Gold US$1200/oz
 Flotation recoveries to copper, zinc and lead sulphide concentrates:

Copper 85%; Zinc 87%; Lead 80%,
 Foreign exchange (A$1.0 = US$0.9)
 Marketing Charges (inc. shipping and TC/RC)

Copper A$1298/t

Zinc A$714/t

Lead A$942/t
 State Royalty5%
Market Assessment The Company has conducted extensive evaluations of demand, supply and stock situations for copper, zinc, lead and the
precious metal by-products. The metal values used in the optimization are considered reasonable in the context of
consensus demand/supplyoutlook.
Site Costs Processing, fixed and marketing costs for open pit ore = $42/t
Mining, processing,fixed and marketingcosts for underground ore = A$78.55/t
Cut-off parameters For open pit production, the economic cut-off grade is 0.7% Cu Eq. For underground production, the economic cut-off
grade based on the estimated NSR,miningcosts and siteprocessingcosts is 1.05% Cu Eq.
Dilution Mining dilution is considered to be incorporated into block grade estimates because of the smearing effect of ordinary
kriging. In subsequent feasibility studies, specific dilution parameters will be determined for the edges of the ore
domains, but given the thickness and continuity of mineralisation and gradational ore contacts on the lower margins, net
dilution is expected to be minimal.

Evelyn Mineral Resource Estima tion Parameters
Geological Setting Copper-zinc-lead-silver-gold mineralisation at Evelyn is believed to be a structurally modified Volcanogenic Massive
Sulphide (VMS) deposit, associated with mafic volcanic stratigraphy. The VMS horizon can be traced for approximately
12 kilometres alongstrike.
Drillingtechniques The resource estimate is based on 3,327 samples derived from 61 reverse circulation(RC)holes and 4 diamond holes.
Drill hole spacing Typical spacingof intersectionpoints in the massive sulphide was between 10m and 30m
Drill hole collarpositions Collarpositions were determined usinga Trimble Pathfinder differential GPS, providingaccuracyof less than 100cm.
Down hole surveys Dipand azimuth readings were taken every10 to 50 metres usinga downhole camera.

the lenses and holes isgenerally60 to 70 degrees.
Sampling The samples within the ore were all virtually 1m in length therefore no compositing of samples was required or
performed.
Sample preparation and
assaying
The samples were analysed at UltraTrace Laboratories. Samples were dried, crushed, split with a riffle splitter and
pulverized. Au, Cu & Zn determined by ICP Optical Emission Spectrometry. Ag & Pb determined by ICP Mass
Spectrometry.
Data validation DataShed was used for drillhole and sample data storage and validation.
Density 218 density determinations were determined using the pycnometer method. 66 values are inside the ore zone as defined
by the wireframe, and 152 sit outside the ore wireframe. The overall average density value in the ore zone is 4.17 t/m3.
In the absence of any values for weathered ore Optiro used conservative values of 3.0 and 3.5 for oxidised ores and
transitional sulphides respectively.
Quality control procedures Samples with QAQC data were evaluated using QAQCR assay quality reporting software. QAQC data evaluation included
field duplicates,lab standards,repeats and lab blank flushes.
Geological interpretation Venturex developed a Vulcan format wireframe of the interpreted mineralisation and the surface topography. These
wireframes was converted into Datamine format for resource estimation. No validation or modification of the
wireframes was performed by Optiro. Surfaces were constructed for the base of complete oxidation (BOCO) and top of
fresh rock (TOFR). The information contained in the historical geology logs as well as the collar file were combined with
29 down hole depths recorded for the TOFR and 9 depths for the BOCO.
Dimensions Two massive sulphide lenses (North and South) have been identified by RC drilling. The North Lens has a long axis length
of approximately 200 metres and plunges to the north at approximately 50 degrees. The larger South Lens has a long axis
length of at least 300 metres and plunges to the north at approximately 40o. The horizontal strike length is in the range
60-125 metres and maximum true width is approximately 16 metres. The lens is open at depth and interpreted to extend
below the North Lens.
Estimations and modeling
techniques
The resource calculation was conducted by Optiro Pty Ltd using data and interpretations supplied by Venturex. Grades
were estimated usingordinarykriging.
Block modeling The deposit was modelled using a 5 mE by 10 mN by 10 mRL block size with sub-blocking to a minimum of 0.5 m in each
dimension to correctlyhonour the volume of the lode and weatheringhorizons.
Cut-offgrades,top-cutgrades A top-cut of 20% Cu was applied to coppergrades in the oxide and transitional zones.
Model Validation The resource model was validated against the input data by comparison of the average input composite and output block
grades and visual comparison in section andplan views.
Metal Values A copper equivalent grade (Cueq) was calculated in the model using the following prices:
 copper $6,900 per tonne
 zinc $2,200 per tonne
 lead $2,500 per tonne
 silver $18 per oz
 gold$1,100per oz
Classification The classification applied to the Evelyn resource is based on the calculated kriging efficiencies and slopes of regression in
the block model. The parameters reflect the quality of the estimates with regard to the data density and modelled
variogram. The blocks with closely spaced data therefore receive a higher classification that those further away from
data. The classification takes into account onlythe spatial continuitydemonstrated in this round ofgrade estimation.

Corporate Governance Statement

Venturex Resources Limited (the Company) is committed to protecting and enhancing Shareholder value and adopting corporate governance policies and processes appropriate for the size, complexity and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. This Corporate Governance Statement outlines the Corporate Governance practices that were in place throughout the financial year which comply with the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations unless otherwise stated. Where a recommendation has not been followed, this is clearly stated along with an explanation for the departure in compliance with the “if not, why not” regime.

Principle 1 – Lay solid foundations for management and oversight

Companies should establish and disclose the respective roles and responsibilities of board and management.

Recommendation 1.1: Companies should establish the functions reserved to the board and those delegated to senior executives and disclose those functions.

Separate functions of the Board and Management existed and were practised throughout the year.

The Company operates under a Board Charter which establishes the functions reserved to the Board. The Board Charter summarises the roles, responsibilities, policies and processes of the Board and comments on its approach to corporate governance. The primary responsibilities of the Board include:

  • Providing leadership of the organisation, strategy formulation and overseeing planning activities

  • Ensuring corporate accountability through effective Shareholder communication and reporting on the performance and state of the Company

  • Monitoring, compliance and risk management with control and accountability systems, regulatory requirements and ethical standards

  • Ensuring the integrity of the Company’s financial reporting and overseeing the independence of the external auditors

  • Management and mentoring of senior Management and ensuring appropriate systems are in place to provide for the health, safety and well-being of its employees and contractors

  • Delegation of authority to Management and Committees to enable the Company to be run effectively.

The Company has established the functions delegated to senior Executives.

The Board Charter summarises the roles and responsibilities of the Managing Director and the Company Secretary, and specific responsibilities are included in their employment contracts. The Company also employed an additional Executive Director for the entire period and his roles and responsibilities are included in his employment contract. The Managing Director must consult the Board on matters that are sensitive, extraordinary, involve assets divestments or acquisitions above specified values, or of a strategic nature. The Company Secretary supports the effectiveness of the Board.

Recommendation 1.2: Companies should disclose the process for evaluating the performance of senior executives.

The process for evaluating the performance of senior executives is detailed in the Board Charter and is based on the setting of individual performance targets at the commencement of the year are aligned to business goals and requirements of the position. An informal assessment is conducted at half year and a full evaluation of the individual’s performance against agreed targets is conducted at year end.

Recommendation 1.3: Companies should provide the information indicated in the Guide to reporting on Principle 1.

Details of matters reserved to the Board and delegated to senior Executives are outlined in the Board Charter. A copy of the Board Charter is publicly available on the Company’s website.

The Company did not fully comply with the documented process of evaluating the performance of senior executives as individual goal setting and formal evaluations were replaced by collective performance targets. Due to the Company’s growth strategy during the year, the Directors and Management reviewed and agreed to a Company strategy and associated performance criteria which were reviewed at each formal Board meeting.

Principle 2 – Structure the board to add value

Companies should have a board of an effective composition, size and commitment to adequately discharge its responsibilities and duties.

Recommendation 2.1: A majority of the board should be independent directors.

The following table identifies the members of the Board during the Reporting Period and the independent or non-independent status of the Directors:

the Directors:
Dates
1/7/09 – 30/6/10
Board Members
Michael Mulroney
Tim Sugden
Allan Trench
Anthony Reilly
Independent/Non-Independent
Non-independent
Non-independent
Independent
Non-independent

The Company did not comply with Recommendation 2.1 throughout the year. As at 30 June 2010 the Board consisted of four Directors. One is not considered independent as his individual controlled or associated equity interests exceed 5% of the Company’s total issued capital and two others are Executive Directors who held equity interests of more than 5% at some point during the period. Since the end of the reporting period, the Board has appointed an independent Non-Executive Chairman taking the number of independent Directors to two.

Although it is the Company’s long term aim to comply with Recommendation 2.1, the existing independent and non-independent Directors have a broad range of technical, commercial and financial skills, combined with appropriate experience at senior corporate levels, ensuring that the interests of all Shareholders are appropriately served.

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, a Director will not be permitted to be present during discussion or to vote on matters where there is a conflict of interest. The Directors and Officers must declare to the Board immediately prior to a meeting or when it

Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2010

Venturex Resources Limited and Group Entities 28 122 180 205

Corporate Governance Statement

becomes known that the Director or Officer has any interest in a transaction, activity or negotiation whereby a potential conflict of interest may occur. The enforcement of this requirement aims to ensure that the interest of Shareholders, as a whole, is pursued and that their interest or the Director's judgement is not impaired.

Recommendation 2.2: The chair should be an independent director.

Dr Allan Trench held the position of Non-Executive Chairman for the entire period and is considered to be an independent Director.

Recommendation 2.3: The roles of chair and chief executive officer should not be exercised by the same individual.

The roles of Chairman and Managing Director were exercised by different individuals for the entire period, providing for clear division of responsibility at the head of the Company. Their roles and responsibilities, and the division of responsibilities between them, are clearly understood and there is regular communication between them.

Recommendation 2.4: The board should establish a nomination committee.

The Company has established a duly constituted Remuneration and Nomination Committee consisting of two Non-Executive Directors and the Managing Director. The Committee is chaired by the independent Non-Executive Chairman of the Board. The purpose of the Committee is detailed in the Board Charter.

The Committee holds a minimum of one meeting a year. Details of members of the Committee and attendance of the members are contained in the Directors' Report.

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee did not meet all requirements of Recommendation 2.4 as it did not consist entirely of independent Directors. Given the size and composition of the Board it was not considered practicable to comply with this recommendation.

Prior to the appointment of a new director, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee assesses the skills represented on the Board by the Non-Executive Directors and determines whether those skills meet the skills identified as required. The Committee will then implement a process to identify suitable candidates for appointment. The Committee makes recommendations to the Board on candidates it considers appropriate for appointment.

The Company’s Constitution requires one-third of Directors to retire from office at each Annual General Meeting. A retiring Director is eligible for re-election. The Directors to retire at an Annual General Meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election.

Recommendation 2.5: Companies should disclose the process for evaluating the performance of the board, its committees and individual

directors.

The Company’s evaluation processes are covered under the Board Charter which requires that the evaluations are conducted on an annual basis. The Board did not perform a formal Board evaluation process during the period, however the Board did set goals for corporate achievement and reviewed its progress at all formal Board meetings. This appears as a separate item in the Board Papers at each formal Board meeting.

Recommendation 2.6: Companies should provide the information indicated in the Guide to reporting on Principle 2.

Profiles of each Director containing their skills, experience, expertise and term of office is set out in the Directors' Report.

A Director of the Company is expected to exercise considered and independent judgment on the matters before them. The Company has a policy to allow Directors to seek independent, expert opinion on matters before them with prior consultation with the Chairman. All Directors have the individual authority to commit the Company to up to $2,000 per annum in professional advice.

Any departures from these recommendations are described in the relevant section.

Principle 3 - Promote ethical and responsible decision-making

Companies should actively promote ethical and responsible decision-making.

Recommendation 3.1: Companies should establish a code of conduct and disclose the code or a summary of the code as to:

  • the practices necessary to maintain confidence in the company’s integrity

  • the practices necessary to take into account their legal obligations and the reasonable expectations of their stakeholders

  • the responsibility and accountability of individuals for reporting and investigating reports of unethical practices.

The Board strives to be fully compliant with this Recommendation and places great emphasis on ethics and integrity in all its business dealings. The Board considers the business practices and ethics exercised by individual Board members and senior Executives to be of the highest standards. The Company has a Directors’ Code of Conduct and a Code of Conduct Policy for all Directors and Staff which defines its commitment to achieve the Recommendations of 3.1. This information is included in the Board Charter document listed on the Company’s website.

Recommendation 3.2: Companies should establish a policy concerning trading in company securities by directors, senior executives and employees, and disclose the policy or a summary of that policy.

The Company has an established policy relating to trading in the Company’s shares. The policy restricts Directors and Employees from acting on material information until it has been released to the market and adequate time has been given for this to be reflected in the securities’ prices. Statutory provisions of the Corporations Act dealing with insider trading have been strictly complied with.

The Company issues this policy to all Directors, Officers, staff and contractors and regularly monitors its compliance.

The Company’s Share Trading Policy is disclosed on the Company’s website as an attachment to the Board Charter.

Recommendation 3.3: Companies should provide the information indicated in the Guide to reporting on Principle 3.

Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2010

Venturex Resources Limited and Group Entities 28 122 180 205

Corporate Governance Statement

The Company did not depart from the Recommendations of Principle 3.

The practices described are outlined in the Company’s Board Charter and disclosed on the Company’s website.

Principle 4 - Safeguard integrity in financial reporting

Companies should have a structure to independently verify and safeguard the integrity of their financial reporting.

Recommendation 4.1: The board should establish an audit committee.

The Board has established an Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee, the roles and responsibilities of which are detailed under the Board Charter. It is the Board’s responsibility to ensure that an effective internal control framework exists within the Company. This includes internal controls to deal with both the effectiveness and efficiency of significant business processes, including the safeguarding of assets, the maintenance of proper accounting records, and the reliability of financial information. The Board has delegated responsibility for the establishment and framework of internal controls and ethical standards for the management of the Company to the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee.

The Committee also provides the Board with additional assurance regarding the reliability of financial information for inclusion in the financial reports.

Recommendation 4.2: The audit committee should be structured so that it:

  • consists only of non-executive directors

  • consists of a majority of independent directors

  • is chaired by an independent chair, who is not chair of the board

  • has at least three members.

The Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee consists of two Non-Executive Directors (one independent) and the Managing Director. The Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee is chaired by a Non-Executive Director of the Board. The current members of the Committee and the number of meetings attended are detailed in the Directors' Report.

The Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee did not meet all requirements of this recommendation as it did not consist of only independent Directors and the Chair was not independent. Given the size of the Board it was not considered practicable to comply with this recommendation.

The Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee generally invites the external auditors to attend meetings and the Company Secretary performs the role of the Secretary at the meetings.

Recommendation 4.3: The audit committee should have a formal charter.

A formal Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee charter and the roles and responsibilities of the Committee are detailed under the Board Charter. Ultimate responsibility rests with the Board. Recommendation 4.4: Companies should provide the information indicated in the Guide to reporting on Principle 4.

Any departures from these recommendations are described in the relevant section.

Principle 5 - Make timely and balanced disclosure

Companies should promote timely and balanced disclosure of all material matters concerning the company.

Recommendation 5.1: Companies should establish written policies designed to ensure compliance with ASX Listing Rule disclosure requirements and to ensure accountability at a senior executive level for that compliance and disclose those policies or a summary of those policies.

The Company complied with its disclosure obligations during the financial year following its informal processes. The Board and Management carefully consider all matters that may have an obligation for disclosure. The Company complies with all disclosure requirements to ensure that Venturex Resources Limited manages the disclosure of price sensitive information effectively and in accordance with the requirements as set out by regulatory bodies. The Board has designated the Company Secretary as the person responsible for overseeing and coordinating disclosure of information to the ASX as well as communicating with the ASX.

Recommendation 6.2: Companies should provide the information indicated in the Guide to reporting on Principle 6.

Information relating to Shareholder communication is provided above.

Departures from these recommendations are described in the relevant section.

Principle 7 - Recognise and manage risk

Companies should establish a sound system of risk oversight and management and internal control.

Recommendation 7.1: Companies should establish policies for the oversight and management of material business risks and disclose a summary of those policies.

The Board has overall responsibility for the structure and review of the Company’s risk management policies. Authority has been delegated to the Managing Director and Executive Management Team to implement appropriate risk management systems within the Company and review these on a periodic basis. The Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee, the Board as a whole and senior Executives constantly review the Company’s business risks and internal control mechanisms.

The primary objectives of the risk management system is to ensure all major sources of potential opportunity for and harm to the Company (both existing and potential) are identified, analysed and treated appropriately; business decisions throughout the Company appropriately balance the risk and reward trade off; and regulatory compliance and integrity in reporting is achieved.

Prior to all formal Board meetings, a comprehensive set of Board papers is provided to the Directors. The Board Papers include detailed reports on all critical areas of the business prepared by the senior Executive responsible for each functional area. The information included addresses all material risks of the business, including financial status, potential liabilities and provisions, tenure over properties, operations risks, staffing concerns and regulatory compliance.

The Company also has in place classes of insurance at levels which, in the reasonable opinion of the Directors, are appropriate for it size and operations.

Roles and responsibilities relating to risk management are contained in the Board Charter.

The Company’s external auditor is invited to attend the annual general meeting and questions from Shareholders regarding the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the auditor’s report are welcomed.

The Company does not fully comply with Recommendation 7.1 because it has not yet implemented formally documented risk management systems and policies. Recommendation 7.2: The board should require management to design and implement the risk management and internal control system to manage the company’s material business risks and report to it on whether those risks are being managed effectively. The board should disclose that management has reported to it as to the effectiveness of the company’s management of its material business risks.

The Board requires management to design, implement and maintain risk management and internal control systems to manage the Company's material business risks and also requires management to report to it confirming that those risks are being managed effectively. Further, the Board has received a report from management as to the effectiveness of the Company's management of its material business risks. Recommendation 7.3: The Board should disclose whether it has received assurance from the Chief Executive Officer (or equivalent) and the Chief Financial Officer (or equivalent) that the declaration in accordance with Section 295A of the Corporations Act is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control and that the system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks.

The Board has received an appropriate declaration from the Managing Director and CFO providing assurance that the risk management system is effective, efficient and accurately reflected in the Company’s financial statements.

Recommendation 7.4: Companies should provide the information indicated in the Guide to reporting on Principle 7.

Information required in relation to the Principle 7 is included in the above sections.

Any departures from these recommendations are described in the relevant section.

Principle 8 - Remunerate fairly and responsibly

==> picture [64 x 22] intentionally omitted <==

19

Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2010

Venturex Resources Limited and Group Entities 28 122 180 205

Corporate Governance Statement

Companies should ensure that the level and composition of remuneration is sufficient and reasonable and that its relationship to performance is clear.

Recommendation 8.1: The board should establish a remuneration committee.

The Board has established a Remuneration and Nomination Committee. Its role is to:

  • Oversee and make recommendations to the Board with respect to the compensation of the Company’s Directors including the Chief Executive Officer;

  • Oversee and advise the Board on the adoption of policies that govern the Company’s compensation programs, option plans and other employee benefit plans.

  • Administer the Company's share and option plans and any other employee benefit plans.

  • Identify and recommend to the Board specific candidates for nomination to the Board of Directors.

  • Ensure that the performance of each Board member and the Board as a whole is reviewed at least annually.

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee does not consist of all independent Non-Executive Directors. The Committee is chaired by an independent Non-Executive Director and has three members. Recommendation 8.2: Companies should clearly distinguish the structure of non-executive directors’ remuneration from that of executive directors and senior executives.

Non-Executive Directors are remunerated by way of a fixed fee (including statutory superannuation) for all services and are paid out of the aggregate amount approved by Shareholders (currently $200,000). Non-Executive Directors are not entitled to retirement benefits and do not receive performance based bonuses. They do not participate in equity schemes of the Company without prior Shareholder approval. The Board views the issuing of options to Non-Executive Directors as appropriate compensation for increasing demands on the Directors’ time and workload and the modest fees paid by the Company.

The Company is committed to remunerating its Executive in a manner that is market-competitive and supports the interests of Shareholders. All Executive employees receive a remuneration package based on fixed and variable components, determined by their position and experience. The variable component includes a share price related bonus formula. The bonus scheme is designed to link compensation to the performance of the Company. During the financial year, three employees (one an Executive Director) were issued options following receipt of Shareholder approval in the Annual General Meeting in November 2009 as part of agreed remuneration packages at the commencement of employment to effect a market competitive remuneration structure.

Recommendation 8.3: Companies should provide the information indicated in the Guide to reporting on Principle 8.

Current remuneration is disclosed in the Remuneration Report contained in the Directors' Report and in Note 6 Key Management Personnel Compensation. All other information relating to Principle 8 is contained in the above section.

Any departures from these recommendations are described in the relevant section.

Directors’ Report

REMUNERATION REPORT

This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for the Directors and Key Management Personnel of the Group Entity.

Key Management Personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly.

The Key Management Personnel of the Company during the year included:

  • Tim Sugden Managing Director Anthony Reilly - Executive Director Liza Carpene - Company Secretary Karl Weber - Exploration Manager – South America Jonas Ferreira Da Silva - Executive Director CMG Mineração Ltda

The report has been set out under the following main headings:

  • A. Remuneration Policy

  • B. Details of Remuneration

  • C. Equity Issued as Part of Remuneration

  • D. Employment Contracts of Directors and Key Management Personnel

  • E. Performance Income as a Proportion of Total Remuneration

A. Remuneration Policy

Remuneration of all Executive and Non-Executive Directors and Officers of the Group Entity is determined by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.

The Group Entity is committed to remunerating Senior Executives and Executive Directors in a manner that is market-competitive, consistent with "Best Practice" and supports the interests of Shareholders. Remuneration packages are based on fixed and variable components, determined by the Executives' position, experience and performance, and may be satisfied via cash or equity.

Non-Executive Directors are remunerated out of the aggregate amount approved by Shareholders and at a level that is consistent with industry standards. Non-Executive Directors do not receive performance based bonuses and prior Shareholder approval is required to participate in any issue of equity. No retirement benefits are payable other than statutory superannuation, if applicable.

Remuneration Policy versus Company Financial Performance

The Group Entity's remuneration policy has been based on industry practice rather than the performance of the Group Entity and takes into account the risk and liabilities assumed by the Directors and Executives as a result of their involvement in the speculative activities undertaken by the Group Entity. In the 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 financial year the Board and senior Executive voluntarily reduced or maintained below industry average remuneration as a consequence of the scarcity of capital during the Global Financial Crisis.

Performance based Remuneration

The purpose of a performance bonus is to link individual rewards to the performance of the Company. The Company reviews the mechanism to determine individual performance bonuses on an annual basis. In the 2009/2010 financial year, the Board approved a bonus formula linked to the performance of the Company’s shares, with individual caps based on seniority and capacity to influence the performance of the Company.

For details of performance based remuneration refer to Section E - Performance income as a proportion of total remuneration of the Remuneration Report.

B. Details of Remuneration

The Key Management Personnel of the Group Entity are disclosed below.

Remuneration packages contain the following elements:

a) Short-term employee benefits - cash salary / fees, cash bonus, non-monetary benefits and other;

b) Post-employment benefits - including superannuation and termination; and

  • c) Share-based payments - shares and options granted

The assessed fair value at grant date of options granted to the individuals is allocated equally over the period from grant date to vesting date, and the amount is included in the remuneration tables above. Fair values at grant date are determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date, the expected price volatility of the underlying shares, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option.

The Model inputs for options granted during the period have been included in Note 25 of the financial statements.

Non-Audit Services

The Company may decide to employ the auditor on assignments additional to their statutory audit duties where the auditor's expertise and experience with the Company and/or the Group Entity are important.

During the year the Group Entity's auditor, William Buck or associated entities, has performed certain other services in addition to their statutory duties.

The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor and is satisfied that the provision of those nonaudit services during the year by the Auditor is compatible with and did not compromise the auditors’ independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. The non-audit services provided by the auditor, as set out below, did not compromise the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

  • All non-audit services have been reviewed by the Board as the Audit Committee to ensure they do not impact the impartiality and objectivity of the auditor; and

  • None of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in code of Conduct APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board, including acting in a management or a decision-making capacity for the Company or acting as advocate for the Company

Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2010

Venturex Resources Limited and Group Entities 28 122 180 205

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 1 - Statement of Significant Accounting Policies

The financial report includes the consolidated financial statement of Venturex Resources Limited (the "Company"). and controlled entities (collectively the "Group Entity"). The Company is a listed public Company domiciled in Australia.

Basis of Preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. The financial report has been prepared on an accrual basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.

Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Group Entity in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

(a) Principles of Consolidation

A controlled entity is any entity the Company has the power to control the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 26 to the financial statements. All controlled entities have a June financial year-end.

All inter-Company balances and transactions between entities in the Group Entity, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistencies with those policies applied by the Company.

Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group Entity during the year, their operating results have been included/excluded from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased.

Minority interests, being that portion of the profit or loss and net assets of subsidiaries attributable to equity interests held by persons outside the Group Entity, are shown separately within the Equity section of the Statement of Financial Position and in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

  • (b) Foreign Currencies

Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of economic entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profit and loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated to Australian dollars at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Australian dollars using average exchange rates for the reporting period. Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, cash backed environmental bonds, other shortterm highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.

(d) Trade and Other Payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group Entity prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(e) Financial Instruments

Financial instruments are initially measured at cost on trade date, which includes transaction costs, when the related contractual rights or obligations exist. Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are measured as set out below:

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the Group Entity's intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designed as such or that are not classified in the any of the other categories. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed or determinable payments. Available-for-sale financial assets are reflected at fair value. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are taken directly to equity.

Fair value

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arms length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.

Impairment

At each reporting date, the Group Entity assess whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.

(f) Property, Plant and equipment

Recognition and measurement

Items of plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Items of property are measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognised net within other income in profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in the revaluation reserve are transferred to retained earnings.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated over the depreciable amount, which is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value.

Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset.

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

2010 2009
Plant and equipment 3-30 years 3 years
Buildings 7-20 years -
Furniture and Fittings 8-20 years -
Leasehold Improvements 3 years -
Property N/A -

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate.

(g) Intangibles

Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

Amortisation

When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.

A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

Goodwill

Goodwill on consolidation is initially recorded at the amount by which the purchase price for a business or for an ownership interest in a controlled entity exceeds the fair value attributed to its net assets at date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

(h) Leased Assets and Payments

Operating leases are not recognised in the Group Entity’s statement of financial position.

Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2010

Venturex Resources Limited and Group Entities 28 122 180 205

Notes to the Financial Statements

(i) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

The cost of inventories is determined using a weighted average cost method. Cost includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition.

(j) Impairment

At each reporting date, the Group Entity reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the assets carrying value. Any excess of the assets carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the profit and loss.

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group Entity estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

(k) Employee Benefits

Wages and Salaries, Annual Leave and Sick Leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in employee provisions in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Superannuation

The amount charged to the profit and loss in respect of superannuation represents the contributions paid or payable by the Group Entity to the employees' superannuation funds.

Employee Benefits on-costs

Employee benefit on-costs, including payroll tax, are recognised when paid or payable by the Group Entity.

Equity-settled compensation

The Company operates an equity settled share-based payment employee share and option schemes. The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account. The fair value of shares is ascertained as the market bid price. The fair value of options is ascertained using a Black-Scholes pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The number of shares and options exercised to vest is reviewed and adjusted at each reporting date such that the amount recognised as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

(l) Provision for Rehabilitation

A provision for rehabilitation is recognised if, as a result of exploration and development activities undertaken, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. The estimated future obligations include the costs of restoring the affected areas contained in the Group’s tenements.

Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Future rehabilitation costs will be reviewed annually and any changes in the estimate are reflected in the present value of the rehabilitation provision at each reporting date. The initial estimate of rehabilitation is capitalised into the cost of the related asset and is amortised on the same basis as the related asset. Changes in the estimate of the provision for rehabilitation are also capitalised. The unwinding of the provision for rehabilitation is recognised as a finance cost.

(m) Revenue

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances and duties and taxes paid.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers. Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

(n) Finance income and finance costs

Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested. Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, unwinding of the discount on provisions, unwinding of the discount on contingent liabilities, share based payments in relation to financing services, impairment losses recognised on financial assets. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis.

  • (o) Income Tax

The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the balance date.

36

Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2010

Venturex Resources Limited and Group Entities 28 122 180 205

Notes to the Financial Statements

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the income statement except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity. Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the Group Entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

The Group Entity has not elected to implement tax consolidation at this time.

(p) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense.

Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the balance sheet.

Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

(q) Earnings per share

The Group Entity presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss after income tax attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss after income tax attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise share options granted to employees.

(r) Segment Reporting

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that related to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. A geographical segment is engaged in providing products or services within a particular economic environment and is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments.

(s) Critical accounting estimates and judgments

Management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Critical judgements in applying the entity’s accounting policies

The following are the critical judgements (apart from those incolving estimations, which are dealt with below), that Management has made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

Impairment of assets and exploration and evaluation expenditure

The company determines whether non-current assets should be assessed for impairment based on identified impairment triggers. At each reporting date Management assesses the impairment triggers based on their knowledge and judgement.

Recoverability of Deferred Tax Assets

Deferred tax assets are not recognised for deductible temporary differences as Management consider that it is not probable that the Group will be able to utilise these temporary differences until the Group becomes profitable.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the Statement of Financial Position date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year:

Exploration and evaluation expenditure

The exploration and evaluation expenditure is reviewed regularly to ensure that the capitalised expenditure is only carried forward to the extent that it is expected to be recouped through the successful development of the areas of interest or when activities in the areas of interest have not yet reached a stage which permit reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2010

Venturex Resources Limited and Group Entities 28 122 180 205

Notes to the Financial Statements

Share-based payment transactions

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with Directors and Key Management Personnel and service providers by reference to the fair value of the options at the date at which they are granted. The fair value at grant date is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model which takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date, expected price volatility of the underlying share, and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option.

Provision for Rehabilitation

The provision for rehabilitation is based on the present obligations of the estimates of the future sacrifice of economic benefits required to meet environmental liabilities on the Group’s tenements. The Group has considered the provision for rehabilitation for its exploration tenements based on reports conducted by independent consultants. The Group has estimated the increase in costs over time for rehabilitation would increase by the Consumer Price Index, and the discount value in determining the present value of the provision for rehabilitation would be the Reserve Bank of Australia’s Cash Rate.

Estimate of Useful lives of assets

The estimation of the useful lives of assets has been based on Taxation Ruling TR 2010/2 and historical experience. The condition of the assets is assessed at year end and considered against the remaining useful life. Details of the useful lives of property, plant and equipment are set out in Note 1(f).

  • (t) Going Concern

The Group Entity incurred a loss of $5,971,446 (2009: $1,196,393), net increase of cash flows of $5,797,327 (2009 deficiency: $384,830) and had a net asset balance of $23,416,741 (2009: $3,262,607) for the year ended 30 June 2010, including a cash balance of $6,305,000 (2009: $507,828).

The Directors are of the opinion that the Company’s exploration and development assets, together with a more positive economic environment, will attract further capital investment if and when it is required. The Directors will continue to maximise the value of existing assets through careful planning of drilling campaigns, calculation of mineral resources as sufficient data becomes available and if scoping studies are positive, commence feasibility studies to determine future operational cash flows. In addition, the Directors will continue to assess other asset acquisition opportunities that they reasonably believe have the potential to increase the value of shareholders’ equity. The Company will also consider divestments if the proceeds are likely to exceed the realisable value of such assets if they were retained. On 16 August 2010, the Company issued 19,444,444 fully paid ordinary shares to Regent Pacific Group Limited (Regent) at an issue price of 9 cents per share raising $1,750,000 as the final component in the placement package

The Group Entity incurred impairments and write-offs of exploration assets to the value of $3,426,915 (2009: $346,931). The Directors anticipate that similar impairments and write-offs of exploration assets will not be incurred in the 2010/2011 financial year due to:

  • The Company is continuing to add value to its Pilbara tenements by increasing resources and advancing a scoping study in a positive economic environment for base metals, and

  • The Company holds 100% interest in the remaining Brazilian exploration tenements and intends to conduct gold exploration programs during the year.

Following review and enhancement (through drilling, resource definition and scoping studies) of the Pilbara assets; along with promising gold results on the Brazilian gold tenements, the Directors are of the view that the exploration assets acquired due to business acquisitions of $18,983,844 (2009 nil) should not be impaired.

The Directors believe that the Group Entity will be successful in the above matters and, at this time, the Directors are of the opinion that no asset is likely to be realised for an amount less than the amount at which it is recorded in the financial report as at 30 June 2010. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of the asset carrying amount or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary if the Group Entity is unable to continue as a going concern.

  • (u) New or revised accounting standards and interpretations

The AASB has issued new and amended accounting standards and interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods. The Group Entity has decided against early adoption of these standards. A discussion of those future requirements and their impact on the Group Entity follows;

AASB 9: Financial Instruments and AASB 2009-11; Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (AASB 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 101, 102, 108, 112, 118, 121, 127, 128, 131, 132, 138, 139, 1023 & 1038 and Interpretations 10 & 121 (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013).

These standards are applicable retrospectively and amend the classification and measurement of financial assets. The Group Entity has not yet determined the potential impact on the financial statements.

The changes made to accounting requirements include:

  • simplifying the classifications of financial assets into those carried at amortised cost and those carried at fair value;

  • simplifying the requirements for embedded derivatives;

  • removing the tainting rules associated with held-to-maturity assets;

  • removing the requirements to separate and fair value embedded derivatives for financial assets carried at amortised cost;

  • allowing an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. Dividends in respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument; and

  • reclassifying financial assets where there is a change in an entity's business model as they are initially classified based on;

  • the objective of the entity's business model for managing the financial assets; and

  • the characteristics of the contractual cash flows.

Notes to the Financial Statements

AASB 124: Related Party Disclosures (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2011).

This standard removes the requirement for government related entities to disclose details of all transactions with the government and other government related entities and clarifies the definition of a related party to remove inconsistencies and simplify the structure of the standard. These amendments will not impact the Group Entity.

AASB 2009-5; Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project [AASB 5, 8, 101, 107, 117, 118, 136 & 139] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 January 2010).

These standards detail numerous non-urgent but necessary changes to accounting standards arising from the IASB's annual improvements project. No changes are expected to materially affect the Group Entity.

AASB 2009-8; Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Group Entity Cash-settled Share-based Payment Transactions [AASB 2] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2010).

These amendments clarify the accounting for Group Entity cash-settled share-based payment transactions in the separate or individual financial statements of the entity receiving the goods or services when the entity has no obligation to settle the sharebased payment transaction. The amendments incorporate the requirements previously included in Interpretation 8 and Interpretation 11 and as a consequence, these two Interpretations are superseded by the amendments. These amendments are not expected to impact the Group Entity.

AASB 2009-9: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Additional Exemptions for First-time Adopters [AASB 1] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2010).

These amendments specify requirements for entities using the full cost method in place of the retrospective application of Australian Accounting Standards for oil and gas assets, and exempt entities with existing leasing contracts from reassessing the classification of those contracts in accordance with Interpretation 4 when the application of their previous accounting policies would have given the same outcome. These amendments will not impact the Group Entity.

AASB 2009-10: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Classification of Rights Issues [AASB 132] applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 February 2010).

These amendments clarify that rights, options or warrants to acquire a fixed number of an entity's own equity instruments for a fixed amount in any currency are equity instruments if the entity offers the rights, options or warrants pro-rata to all existing owners of the same class of its own non-derivative equity instruments. These amendments are not expected to impact the Group Entity.

AASB 2009-12: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards [AASBs 5, 8, 108, 110, 112, 119, 133, 137, 139, 1023 & 1031 and Interpretations 2, 4, 16, 1039 & 1052] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2011).

This standard makes a number of editorial amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, including amendments to reflect changes made to the text of International Financial Reporting Standards by the IASB. The standard also amends AASB 8 to require entities to exercise judgment in assessing whether a government and entities known to be under the control of that government are considered a single customer for the purposes of certain operating segment disclosures. These amendments will not impact the Group Entity.

AASB 2009-13: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Interpretation 19 [AASB 1] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 July 2010).

This standard makes amendments to AASB 1 arising from the issue of Interpretation 19. The amendments allow a first-time adopter to apply the transitional provisions in Interpretation 19. This standard will not impact the Group Entity. AASB 2009-14: Amendments to Australian Interpretation - Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement [AASB interpretation 14] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2011).

This standard amends Interpretation 14 to address unintended consequences that can arise from the previous accounting requirements when an entity prepays future contributions into a defined benefit pension plan. This standard will not impact the Group Entity.

AASB Interpretation 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 July 2010).

This Interpretation deals with how a debtor would account for the extinguishment of a liability through the issue of equity instruments. The Interpretation states that the issue of equity should be treated as the consideration paid to extinguish the liability, and the equity instruments issued should be recognised at their fair value unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case they shall be measured at the fair value of the liability extinguished. The Interpretation deals with situations where either partial or full settlement of the liability has occurred. This Interpretation is not expected to impact the Group Entity.

(v) Adoption of new and revised accounting standards

During the year, the Group Entity adopted all of the new and revised Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations applicable to its operations which became mandatory. The adoption of these standards has impacted the recognition, measurement and disclosure of certain transactions, explained as follows:

AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements

AASB 101 prescribes the contents and structure of the financial statements. Changes reflected in this financial report include:

  • The replacement of income statement with statement of comprehensive income. Items of income and expense not recognised in profit or loss are now disclosed as components of “other comprehensive income”. In this regard, such items are no longer reflected as equity movements in the statement of changes in equity;

  • The adoption of the single statement approach to the presentation of the statement of comprehensive income; and

  • Other financial statements are renamed in accordance with the Standard.

Venturex Resources Limited and Group Entities 28 122 180 205

Notes to the Financial Statements

AASB 8 Operating Segments

From 1 July 2009, operating segments are identified and segment information disclosed on the basis of internal reports that are regularly provided to, or reviewed by, the Group Entity’s chief operating decision maker which, for the Group Entity, is the Board of Directors. In this regard, such information is provided using different measures to those used in preparing the statement of comprehensive income and statement of financial position. Reconciliations of such management information to the statutory information contained in the financial report have been included.

As a result of the adoption of the revised AASB 8, certain cash-generating units have been redefined having regard to the requirements in AASB 136: Impairment of Assets.

AASB 3 Business Combinations

Revised AASB 3 is applicable prospectively from 1 July 2009. Changes introduced by this Standard, or as a consequence of amendments to other Standards relating to business combinations which are expected to affect the Group Entity, include the following:

  • All business combinations, including those involving entities under common control, are accounted for by applying the acquisition method which prohibits the recognition of contingent liabilities of the acquiree at acquisition date that do not meet the definition of a liability. Costs incurred that relate to the business combination are expensed instead of comprising part of the goodwill acquired on consolidation. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration payable are not regarded as measurement period adjustments and are recognised through profit or loss unless the changes relates to circumstances which existed at acquisition date.

  • Unrecognised deferred tax assets of the acquiree may be subsequently realised within 12 months of acquisition date on the basis of facts and circumstances existing at acquisition date with a consequential reduction in goodwill. All other deferred tax assets subsequently recognised are accounted for through profit or loss.

  • If the Group Entity holds less than 100% of the equity interests in an acquire and the business combination results in goodwill being recognised, the Group Entity can elect to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value (“full goodwill method”) or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the subsidiary’s identifiable net assets (“proportionate interest method”). The Group Entity elects which method to adopt for each acquisition.

  • Where control of a subsidiary is lost, the balance of the remaining investment account shall be remeasured to fair value at the date that control is lost.

The Group Entity does not anticipate the early adoption of any of the above Australian Accounting Standards.

(w) Comparative Figures

When required by accounting standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

The recoverability of Exploration & evaluation costs is dependent upon further exploration and exploitation of commercially viable mineral deposits.

Impairment / Write Off Disclosures

  • i Expensed interest in the Cuiaba Basin Project

Following a review of technical, economic and contractual aspects of the Cuiaba Basin Project, the Directors of the Group Entity concluded that the carrying value on the project was overstated. Therefore the Group Entity wrote off previously capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure of $196,673 (2009: Nil) incurred on the Cuiaba Basin Project during the year ended 30 June 2010.

  • ii Write-off of interest in the St Elina Project

The Directors of the Group Entity withdrew from the St Elina Option agreement on the 28 May 2010. Therefore the Group Entity wrote off previously capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure of $2,236,954 (2009: Nil) incurred on the St Elina Project during the year ended 30 June 2010.

  • Iii Impairment of interest in the Kooline Project

Following a review of technical, economic and contractual aspects of the Kooline Project, the Directors of the Group Entity concluded that the carrying value on the project was overstated. Therefore the Group Entity impaired previously capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure of $68,551 (2009: $36,931) incurred on the Kooline Project during the year ended 30 June 2010.

Impairment of interest in the Tarrawarra Project

Following a review of technical, economic and contractual aspects of the Tarrawarra Project, the Directors of the Group Entity concluded that further exploration work is warranted before determining if the carrying value on the project is overstated. Therefore the Group Entity did not impair any previously capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure (2009: $310,000) incurred on the Tarrawarra Project during the year ended 30 June 2010.

Impairment of interest in the Cuiaba Basin Project

Due to the Company’s inability to renew the core Serrinha tenement (866408/2003), the Directors of the Group Entity had no choice but to impair the project area. The two remaining Serrinha tenements held still have significant exploration potential. Therefore the Group Entity impaired previously capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure of $1,121,410 (2009: Nil) incurred on the Cuiaba Basin Project during the year ended 30 June 2010.

Mine Rehabilitation

In accordance with State government legislative requirements, a provision for mine rehabilitation has been recognised in relation to the Group Entity’s Whim Creek Mine. A small scale SX-EW is currently under construction and is expected to operate for one to two years. If scoping and feasibility studies are successful, a sulphide operation may be developed within one to two years. The basis for accounting is set out in Note 1(l) of the significant accounting policies

The fair value of the mine rehabilitation model inputs used are as follows:

2010 2009
Inflation Rate – CPI 3.10% -
Cash Rate 4.50% -
Estimated commencement of outflow 31 December 2018 -

Contingent Liability

As part of the acquisition of Straits (Whim Creek) Pty Ltd (See Note 27b), Venturex included as part of the purchase consideration a contingent liability. This is based upon an announcement of its intention to commence mining operations on any of the tenements held by Whim Creek, Venturex or its related bodies corporate, within 100 kilometres of the tenements held by Whim Creek. Venturex will issue such number of shares equal to $3,000,000 divided by the 30 day volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s shares trading on the ASX over the period ending on the day immediately prior to any announcement of the intention to commence mining operations by the Company. This is subject to receipt of all necessary Shareholder approvals, if not obtained, Venturex will instead pay the amount of $3,500,000 cash.

The fair value of the contingent liability model inputs used are as follows:

2010 2009
Probability of Shares 100% -
Cash Rate 4.5% -
Assumed time to announcement of
intention to mine
1 February 2012 -

Note 21 - Contingencies

As at 30 June 2010, the Group Entity’s contingent liabilities are as follows:

  • As part of the acquisition of Straits (Whim Creek) Pty Ltd (See Note 27b), Venturex included as part of the purchase consideration a contingent liability. This is based upon an announcement of the Company’s intention to commence mining operations on any of the tenements held by Whim Creek, Venturex or its related bodies corporate, within 100 kilometres of the tenements held by Whim Creek. Venturex will issue such number of shares equal to $3,000,000 divided by the 30 day volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s shares trading on the ASX over the period ending on the day immediately prior to any announcement of the intention to commence mining operations by the Company. This is subject to receipt of all necessary Shareholder approvals. If approval is not obtained, Venturex will instead pay the amount of $3,500,000 cash. A provision has been made at acquisition (see Note 17).

  • The contingent liability of $82,216 for back pay of salary costs to the Managing Director of CMG Gold Ltd was paid in June 2010 in accordance with the terms of Anthony Reilly’s employment contract.

  • Following the acquisition of Straits (Whim Creek) Pty Ltd, the Company will be required to pay all applicable stamp duty costs. The assessment is currently being conducted by the Office of State Revenue and at the date of this report, a value has not been determined. No provision has been made in the accounts for Stamp Duty.

Notes to the Financial Statements

  • As at 30 June 2009, the Group Entity’s contingent liabilities are as follows:

  • Pursuant to the Implementation Agreement dated 1 April 2009 between the Group Entity and CMG Gold Ltd, there is a contingent liability of $82,216 for back pay of salary costs to the Managing Director of CMG Gold Ltd, in accordance with the terms of his employment contract. This back pay is contingent upon the complete takeover of CMG Gold Ltd. No provision was made in the Statement of Financial Position.

Note 22 – Operating Segments

Management has determined that the Group Entity has one reportable segment, being resources exploration, which is based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. As the Group Entity is focused on resources exploration, focusing on several base and precious metals resources, the Board monitors the Group Entity based on actual versus budgeted exploration expenditure incurred by area of interest. This internal reporting framework is the most relevant to assist the Board with making decisions regarding the Group Entity and its ongoing exploration activities, while also taking into consideration the results of exploration work that has been performed to date.

Revenue by geographical region

The Group Entity has not generated revenue from operations, other than other revenue with origins in Australia. (see Note 2)

Assets by geographical region

The location of segment assets is disclosed below by geographical location of the assets.

  • (d) Fair Value of Options Granted

The fair value at grant date is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model which takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option.

The weighted average model inputs used for options granted during the period included:

2010 2009
Weighted average exercise price $0.095 - $0.15 $0.0017
Weighted average life of the option 2-3 years 3 years
Underlying share price $0.063 - $0.105 $0.01
Expected share price volatility 89% - 92% 88%
Risk free interest rate 4.51% - 5.14% 3.64%
Expected dividend yield Nil Nil

The expected share price volatility is based on the Group Entity's historic volatility since listing in April 2007.

Note 26 - Group Entity

  • Percentage of voting power is in proportion to ownership.

Note 27 – Acquisitions of subsidiaries

  • (a) On 1 July 2009, the Group Entity acquired 100% of the issued capital of CMG Gold Limited, for a purchase consideration of 189,210,000 ordinary shares ($8,325,240). CMG Gold Limited owns the rights to gold tenements in Brazil.

The loss for the twelve months ended 30 June 2010, resulting from the acquisition of CMG Gold Ltd amounted to $3,863,326 and is included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Included within corporate and administrative expenses in the statement of comprehensive income are acquisition-related costs totalling $54,404. The costs include advisory, legal and other professional fees.

The fair value adjustment to exploration and evaluation costs on consolidation of $6,061,160 is attributed to the significant potential, and local and strategic value of the tenements held by CMG Gold Limited in Brazil. The Directors do not believe that this should be impaired further (see Note 14)because the Company holds 100% interest in the remaining Brazilian exploration tenements; has received promising gold results on some of the tenements; the gold price has increased substantially since acquisition; and the Company has received expressions of interest from various parties to farm-in or acquire the tenements.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(f) Liquidity Risk

The Group Entity is exposed to liquidity risk via its trade and other payables. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group Entity will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet the commitments associated with its financial liabilities. Responsibility for liquidity risk rests with the Board who manage liquidity risk by monitoring undiscounted cash flow forecasts and actual cash flows provided to them by the Group Entity's Management at Board meetings to ensure that the Group Entity continues to be able to meet its debts as and when they fall due. Contracts are not entered into unless the Board believes that there is sufficient cash flow to fund the additional activity. The Board considers when reviewing its undiscounted cash flows forecasts whether the Group Entity needs to raise additional funding from the equity markets.

The Group Entity has analysed its trade and other payables below. All trade and other payables disclosed below have not been impaired.

(g) Exposure to Foreign Currency risk

The Group Entity is exposed to foreign currency risk on purchases that are denominated in a currency other than the AUD. The currency giving rise to this risk is primarily the Brazilian Real.

The Group Entity currently does not hedge against foreign currency gains or losses..

The Group Entity’s exposure to foreign currency risk was as follows, based on notional amounts:

2010 2009
Note AUD BRL AUD
BRL
$ $ $
$
Trade and other receivables 10 423,076 - 341,610 -
Trade and other payables 15 (307,450) (35,778) (136,701) -
Gross statement of financial position exposure 115,626 (35,778) 204,909 -
The following significant exchange rates applied during the year:
Average Rate Reporting Date Spot Rate
2010 2009 2010
2009
AUD to BRL 0.6333 - 0.6517 -

A strengthening of the AUD, as indicated below, against the BRL at 30 June would have increased (decreased) equity and comprehensive income by the amounts shown below. This analysis is based on foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Group Entity considered to be reasonably possible at the end of the reporting period. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant. The analysis was not performed in 2009 as there was no exposure to currency risk.

AUD to BRL (10 percent strengthening) Comprehensive
Income
Equity
$
$
(64,770)
64,770

A weakening of the AUD against the above currencies at 30 June would have had the equal but opposite effect on the above currencies to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.

(h) Fair Values

All financial assets and liabilities recognised in the Statement of Financial Position, whether they are carried at cost or fair value, are recognised at amounts that represent a reasonable approximation of fair value unless otherwise stated in the applicable notes.
