EXPLORATION DRILLING OF KEY Cu-Zn TARGETS COMMENCED
Highlights
ASX Announcement ASX Code: VXR Released: 14 July 2011
-
Focused on large lenses within VMS clusters
-
First hole intersects 2 metres visible Cu-Zn sulphides at 39 metres
-
IP targets down dip of Mons Cupri
-
Large copper target at Sulphur Springs
Following the completion of a comprehensive metallurgical sampling program for the Pilbara Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) Bankable Feasibility Study, Venturex is pleased to advise that it has commenced a 6,500 metre programme of RC and diamond drilling on a number of key copper-zinc targets in the Pilbara Region. The primary aim of the drilling is to identify substantial additional copper-zinc resources close to the principal mining centres in the production plan.
With total JORC resources of 26.9 million tonnes @ 2.2% Cu EQ[1] and a pending reserve upgrade expected to support a mine life of up to 10 years, new discoveries have the potential to increase both the scale and longevity of the proposed operations.

MONS CUPRI SOUTH (WHIM CREEK SITE)
Mons Cupri has a sulphide resource of 4.94 million tonnes @ 1.6% Cu EQ. To the south, the Mons Cupri conglomerate host unit is associated with both an induced polarisation (IP) anomaly and superficial silver-lead workings. Seven planned RC and diamond holes will test the target to a depth of approximately 400 metres. The first hole in the program, VWD001, intersected a two metre interval of visible chalcopyrite and sphalerite from 39 metres. This may be a peripheral indicator of a larger system hosted by the Rushall Slate or a deeper VMS lens hosted by the Mons Cupri unit.

SULPHUR SPRINGS
At Sulphur Springs, the primary target area is the Bledisloe anomaly, located approximately 500 metres to the west of the main deposit (19.3 million tonnes @ 2.2 Cu EQ). Previous drilling intersected stringer style copper (SSD050: 16.9 metres @ 0.47% Cu) which is often peripheral to massive sulphide systems. The access road to site has been refurbished allowing access for a diamond drilling rig and all drill sites are prepared. Drilling at Sulphur Springs will commence after the Mons Cupri program.
