EXPLORATION UPDATE
ASX Announcement ASX Code: VXR Released: 7 September 2011
MONS CUPRI WEST
Highlights
-
Target Mons Cupri host unit intersected over larger area
-
Vectors to new VMS system identified, including stockwork Copper and Zinc mineralisation within broad zones of alteration

Diamond drilling continues
Venturex Resources Ltd (ASX Code: VXR) is pleased to report highly encouraging results from exploration drilling underway approximately 1km to the west of the existing Mons Cupri Copper-Zinc deposit (JORC Resource 4.94 million tonnes @ 1.6% CuEQ).
To date, eight RC/diamond holes have been drilled to test induced polarisation (IP) anomalies associated with the target Mons Cupri horizon (refer Table 1).
Drilling has revealed that the dip of the Mons Cupri stratigraphy is shallower than expected providing a large area of several square kilometres of near-surface exploration potential. The thickness and intensity of alteration and abundance of stockwork and disseminated sulphide mineralisation (mainly pyrite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite) intersected generally increases to the west, suggesting the presence of a second mineralising centre in this direction.
Managing Director, Tim Sugden said “ The Company is highly encouraged by the broad and shallow extent of the target horizon in the Mons Cupri West area – and also by the extent of Copper-Zinc mineralisation revealed by the drilling thus far. We may be seeing the distal parts of a new volcanic centre that may host undiscovered Copper-Zinc deposits. ”

Significant mineralisation in completed holes to date includes:
-
VWD001 intersected 2.0 metres of visible (~5 vol%) chalcopyrite and sphalerite mineralisation in the hanging wall Rushall Slate from 39 metres.
-
Hole VWD004 intersected 23 metres (from 170.4 metres) of disseminated pyrite (~3-7 vol%) with minor chalcopyrite-sphalerite (<1 vol%) mineralisation associated with strong chlorite-sericite alteration within the Mons Cupri unit, typical of the known Mons Cupri feeder system.
-
Hole VWD005 intersected 1.5 metres (from 175.5 metres) of disseminated chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena (~2-5 vol%) associated within chlorite-sericite alteration on the Rushall Slate – Mons Cupri unit contact.

-
Hole VWD010 intersected strong quartz-chlorite-sericite alteration in the Mons Cupri unit, just below the Rushall Slate contact containing a narrow zone (0.2 metres from 208.2 metres) of strong stockwork chalcopyrite mineralisation (~5 vol%) (Photo 1).
-
Hole VWD011 intersected a 26.7 metre zone of strong chlorite-sericite alteration from 285.3 metres,) containing moderate disseminated pyrite (~3-6 vol%) followed by 4.4 metres (from 294.3 metres) of disseminated sphalerite and galena (~2-5 vol%) mineralisation (Photo 2). A second 2.3 metre thick zone of disseminated sphalerite mineralisation (~2-5 vol%) was intersected at 312 metres.
The reported RC and diamond drilling forms part of an ongoing near-mine exploration program initially comprising 1,400 metres of which 911 metres have thus far been completed. A further two holes will be completed within the next week prior to the commencement of a down hole geophysical survey program in mid-September.

Mons Cupri Metallurgical Drilling Results
All assays have now been received for metallurgical test work holes at Mons Cupri. As previously indicated, many of the holes returned high grade results that have improved the grade and continuity of the Mons Cupri resource (refer Table 2).
