WHIM CREEK COPPER PROCESSING AGREEMENT
-
Agreement With Private Operator for the retreatment of the Whim Creek Oxide Copper heap leach pads
-
Venturex to retain 15% Net Profit Interest on copper production
-
Copper processing and production commenced
Venturex Resources Limited (“Venturex” or “the Company”) (ASX: VXR) is pleased to announce the Company has entered into an agreement with a private company Blackrock Metals Pty Ltd (“Blackrock”) for the reprocessing of the existing Whim Creek oxide copper heap leach pads previously constructed by Straits Resources Limited at the Whim Creek site in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
The Whim Creek operation is located approximately 120 kilometres southwest of Port Hedland on the North West Coastal Highway.
Under the agreement, Venturex has granted Blackrock access rights to the existing Whim Creek oxide copper processing site for the purpose of reprocessing the existing heap leach pads to recover copper metal through a refurbished five tonne per day SX-EW treatment facility.
Venturex will hold a 15% Net Profit Interest in the reprocessing operation which will contribute to the ongoing environmental and administration costs of the overall Whim Creek mine site.

Blackrock have advised that the treatment facility has been successfully recommissioned and first copper cathode production is anticipated within the next week.
Venturex Managing Director Michael Mulroney said: “ This agreement with an experienced SX-EW operator in Blackrock Metals will provide ongoing benefits for all parties involved. We anticipate that the recommencement of processing operations by Blackrock will not only provide a significant financial contribution to management of the overall Whim Creek mine site, but also provide a platform to assess other oxide copper opportunities within the Whim Creek area in the future.”
“This continues the Company’s strategy of commercialising non-core assets to allow the Company to focus on exploring and developing our extensive copper-zinc assets in the Pilbara region through 2014.”
