WHIM CREEK EXPLORATION UPDATE
ASX Announcement ASX Code: VXR Released: 21 September 2012
-
4,250 metre drilling program completed
-
New sulphide mineralisation intersected at East Balla
-
Diamond drilling at Evelyn deposit intersects narrow zones of Cu-Zn mineralisation
Venturex Resources Limited (Venturex) (ASX: VXR) holds a portfolio of copper-zinc deposits in the West Pilbara region of Western Australia. Venturex is pleased to provide an update on the Company’s ongoing exploration program at Whim Creek in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
Venturex Managing Director Michael Mulroney said: “The East Balla drilling results are very encouraging, particularly given the presence of sulphide mineralisation within a large alteration zone. The system remains open in all directions and additional drilling will be planned for this area.”
Salt Creek Trend
A total of 3,285 metres of RC drilling has been completed on new target areas within the Salt Creek trend, located approximately 17 kilometres northwest of Whim Creek.

East Balla
At East Balla, six RC drill holes (1,260 metres) tested several geochemical anomalies generated by previous RAB drilling. All drill holes intersected a broad zone of footwall-style alteration (chlorite, silica, sericite and locally fuchsite) with 1-4 metre zones of disseminated, and occasionally semi-massive[1] , sulphide mineralisation. Logging and preliminary Niton (XRF) readings of the mineralised intervals indicates that the sulphide mineralisation is predominately pyrite (iron sulphide) with traces of copper and zinc sulphide.
Dough Boy
The Dough Boy prospect is located at the southern end of the Salt Creek trend. An initial drilling program of seven RC drill holes (1,554 metres) was drilled on line spacing of 250 metres to test several co-incident airborne geophysical and geochemical anomalies in this area. Several holes (DBR001, DBR005, DBR006) intersected large (+20 metres) zones of strong footwall-style alteration (sericite-chlorite-quartz) but no significant sulphide mineralisation was intersected.
Salt Creek
Two RC drill holes (471 metres) were completed 200 - 400 metres along strike to the south west of the Salt Creek prospect targeting conceptual shallow extensions to the existing high grade Salt Creek resource. Both drill holes intersected only minor disseminated sulphide mineralisation in altered volcanoclastic sediments.
Liberty-Indee Joint Venture
Evelyn Deposit
A short diamond drilling program has been completed within the Liberty-Indee Joint Venture area targeting extensions to the Evelyn deposit. Two diamond drill holes (964.7m) were completed targeting a series of down-hole EM anomalies positioned down plunge from the existing Evelyn Cu-Zn resource.

1 “Semi-massive" refers to up to 40% pyrite.

The drilling revealed that the targeted Evelyn contact horizon has been extensively folded down plunge in a zone of increasing structural complexity. Both diamond drill holes intersected small (0.5m) zones of semi massive to massive sulphide mineralisation consisting of predominately pyrrhotite (iron sulphide) with minor zinc and copper sulphides. The mineralised intervals are currently being sampled prior to being dispatched for assay.
The drilling has not fully explained the down hole geophysical anomalies and further drilling in the Liberty-Indee Joint Venture area will be planned following a further structural analysis and modelling of the area.
General
Assay results are pending for all mineralised intersections and are expected to become progressively available over the next few weeks.
