Venturex to Acquire New HighGrade Gold Project In Brazil’s Western Tapajós Gold Province

Key Points:

ASX Announcement ASX Code: VXR Released: 19 November 2010

For further details Dr Tim Sugden Managing Director T: +61 8 6389 7400 M: +61 407 085 032 [email protected]

  • Multiple high-grade gold assays ranging up to 254g/t Au.

  • Mineralised structures up to three kilometres in strike length.

  • Style of mineralisation similar to the 2Moz Tocantinzinho discovery located 120km to the northeast.

  • Exploration leases controlled or under application by Venturex form a contiguous land package with a total area of 19,700 hectares.

  • Venturex now controls five gold exploration projects in the states of Para and Mato Grosso covering a total area of 92,500 hectares.

Venturex Resources Limited (ASX: VXR) is pleased to announce that it has acquired the rights to a significant new high-grade gold project in the Western Tapajós Gold Province in the State of Para in Brazil – an underexplored but highly prospective region with excellent discovery potential.

The acquisition, through its 100%-owned Brazilian subsidiary, CMG Mineração Limitada (CMGM), increases Venturex’s strategic ground holding in central Brazil, where it now controls five gold exploration projects, to 92,500 hectares.

The new project provides an attractive new gold exploration opportunity for Venturex in Brazil, to be pursued in parallel with its flagship Pilbara VMS Copper Project in Western Australia.

The Serra Verde Project, which has been operated for over thirty years as a small-scale alluvial artisanal mining operation from high-grade epithermal and mesothermal vein systems, has the potential to host multiple high-grade gold deposits.

The Project is located 120km from the Tocantinzinho granitehosted disseminated deposit, which contains an NI 43-101 compliant Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource of 2.1 million ounces of gold. This Project was recently acquired by Eldorado Gold for US$124 million.

Venturex Resources Limited believes the Tapajós Gold Province, and in particular the Western area, is one of Brazil’s most exciting and underexplored regions with potential for further significant gold and base metal discoveries.

THE SERRA VERDE TENEMENTS

Exploration leases 850835-884 are under application by CMGM. The Company understands that these will be gazetted by the DNPM within 60 days.

Exploration leases 850336, 850173 and prospecting licences 850174-180 are under application by CMGM Director, Mr Jonas Ferreira da Silva. On grant, these will be transferred to CMGM for zero consideration.

In parallel to these applications, CMGM has executed an Agreement with João Batista da Silva Ferreira to acquire tenements 850359 and 850564.

The following consideration to João Batista da Silva Ferreira is contingent on the gazetting of the central ELAs (850835 – 884) currently under application:

  • Total cost of cash payments over four years of BRL$925k (BRL$250k in Year 1, followed by equal instalments of BRL$225k in Years 2-4);

  • payment on Mining Approval of BRL$2.0mil and

  • a production royalty of 1.5%

Anytime after the second year CMGM may pay out the remaining instalments or withdraw from the Agreement at no further cost.

THE WESTERN TAPAJÓS GOLD PROVINCE

The Western Tapajós Gold Province is the western portion of the Archean-Proterozoic Amazon Craton covering an area of around 135,000km[2 ]

Widespread alluvial gold has been recovered by artisanal miners using primitive methods for over 30 years. Placer concentrations confirm the potential of the Tapajós Gold Province with over 600 tonnes of alluvial gold estimated to have been produced in the last 40 years.

2

Primary gold deposits include Tocantinzinho, Palito, São Jorge, Cuiu Cuiu, Creporrizinho, Ouro Roxo, V3 and Jatai, all of which are within 250km of the Serra Verde Project.

The Western Tapajós Gold Province

SERRA VERDE PROJECT AREA

The Serra Verde Project is located 350km from the town of Novo Progresso and 400km from the town of Itaituba which are major service centres for exploration and mining activities.

Existing small-scale artisanal operations at Serra Verde provide an established base for exploration activities. The project area is approximately 20km from the nearest town of Crepori and can be accessed by light aircraft in 10 minutes or by off road vehicles within two hours.

Preliminary exploration activities by CMGM geologists, including surface sampling, mapping and monitoring of current small scale production have confirmed the potential of the Serra Verde Project area to host multiple high grade gold deposits.

Assay results >0.2g/t in the central Serra Verde Project area.

The Serra Verde area has been continuously operating for over thirty years with production from both alluvial and bedrock sources. Currently small scale production is centred on high grade epithermal to mesothermal vein systems hosted by deformed Palaeoproterozoic Plutonic rocks of the Parauarai Suite and Creporizao Suite and medium to high grade metamorphic rocks of the Cuiu Cuiu Complex.

4

Veins in the current operations area are typically E-W trending and are interpreted as dilational structures within the northwest trending regional shear zones in the Crepori Structural Zone.

Of 91 bedrock samples assayed, 29 values exceeded 1g/t Au and 10 exceeded 31.1g/t Au (one ounce per tonne). The highest grade returned to date is 254g/t Au. Most of the high grade samples are from quartz-sulphide veins approximately one metre wide. The veins form sub-parallel sets or irregular stockworks. The altered granite hosts rocks are also mineralised, returning gold grades of up to 100g/t Au.

EXPLORATION PROGRAM

With the addition of the Serra Verde project, CMGM now controls five quality project areas within the states of Mato Grosso and Para covering a total area of ~92,500 hectares.

Over the next six months CMGM will focus on high-grade exploration opportunities at the Serra Verde Project as well as the Rio Pombo Project in northern Mato Grosso. Recent trench sampling results at Rio Pombo include two metres grading 17.9g/t Au and two metres grading 37.5g/t Au. An RC drilling program is anticipated in the first half of 2011.

At Serra Verde, a comprehensive sampling program will be undertaken over the entire lease area in parallel with a trenching program over the exposed mineralised structures. This will assist in the definition of targets for a drilling program for possible start up at the end of the wet season in 2011.
