Interim Financial Report Year Ended 31 December 2009

Venturex Resources Limited 28 122 180 205

Directors’ Report

Your Directors present their report on the consolidated entity consisting of Venturex Resources Limited and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the half year ended 31 December 2009.

Directors

The following persons were Directors of Venturex Resources Limited during the whole of the half‐year and up to the date of this report:

Dr Allan Trench Non‐Executive Chairman Dr Tim Sugden Managing Director Mr Michael Mulroney Non‐Executive Director Mr Anthony Reilly Executive Director (Appointed 1 July 2009)

Review of Operations

In the six months ended 31 December 2009, the Company was focused on two main areas of activity: development of base metals assets in the Pilbara Region of Western Australia and gold exploration in Brazil.

At the Company’s 70% owned Liberty‐Indee Project in the Pilbara, further RC drilling was conducted, returning a number of high grade copper‐zinc‐silver‐gold intersections (including 18 metres @ 3.0% Cu, 9.0% Zn, 55g/t Ag and 1.5g/t Au). A JORC compliant indicated and inferred resource was reported in November 2009. Mine planning, in conjunction with other Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) deposits in the region, is now underway. Several geochemical anomalies and Versatile Time‐domain Electromagnetic (VTEM) anomalies remain to be tested in the VMS corridor.

In August 2009 the Company announced that agreement had been reached with Straits Resources Limited to acquire all of the issued capital of Straits (Whim Creek) Pty Ltd, the beneficial owner of the Whim Creek Mine and all associated exploration tenements including sulphide resources at Whim Creek, Mons Cupri and Salt Creek, the Whim Creek Hotel and various mining infrastructure including a crushing circuit. The key strategic purpose of the acquisition is to consolidate VMS deposits in the western Pilbara and develop Whim Creek as a centralised processing facility. On completion, the total resources controlled by Venturex increased to 12.35 million tonnes @ 0.9% Cu and 1.3% Zn (111,000t copper and 160,000t zinc), plus significant silver and gold credits. The Company anticipates that there is sufficient high grade massive sulphide ore within mineralisation envelopes to support an operation processing approximately 500,000 tonnes per annum.

On 1 July 2009, the Company completed the acquisition of CMG Gold Ltd, the owner of a number of advanced gold prospects in Mato Grosso, Brazil. The established exploration team conducted detailed sampling programmes at the St Elina, Tanque Fundo and Rio Pombo projects. In the last three months of the period, reconnaissance drilling programs were conducted at St Elina and Jatoba. Sporadic, low grade gold intersections were returned from shallow RC and diamond holes. Further drilling to greater depths is required to fully evaluate the superficial gold anomalies on these tenements. Negotiations to acquire interests in other projects in the states of Mato Grosso and Para continued.

Interim Financial Report Year Ended 31 December 2009

Venturex Resources Limited 28 122 180 205

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 1. Basis of Preparation

Reporting Entity

Venturex Resources Limited is a company domiciled in Australia. The consolidated interim financial statements of the Company as at and for the six months ended 31 December 2009 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "consolidated entity”), Jutt Resources Pty Ltd, Juranium Pty Ltd, CMG Gold Ltd and CMG Mineração Ltda.

Statement of Compliance

The general purpose financial statements for the interim half year reporting period ended 31 December 2009 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting, Australian Accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncement of Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

This interim financial report is intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements of Venturex Resources Limited and its controlled entities. As such, it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant changes occurring during the half‐year within the Group. It is therefore recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2009, together with any public announcements made during the half‐year.

The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in this interim financial report as were applied in the most recent annual financial statements except for the adoption of the following new and revised Accounting Standards.

Accounting Standards not previously applied

The consolidated entity has adopted the following new and revised Australian Accounting Standards issued by the AASB which are mandatory to apply to the current interim period. Disclosures required by these Standards that are deemed material have been included in this financial report on the basis that they represent a significant change in information from that previously made available.

Presentation of Financial Statements

AASB 101 prescribes the contents and structure of the financial statements. Changes reflected in this financial report include:

  • The replacement of income statement with statement of comprehensive income. Items of income and expense not recognised in profit or loss are now disclosed as components of “other comprehensive income”. In this regard, such items are no longer reflected as equity movements in the statement of changes in equity;

  • The adoption of the single statement approach to the presentation of the statement of comprehensive income; and

  • Other financial statements are renamed in accordance with the Standard.

Operating Segments

From 1 July 2009, operating segments are identified and segment information disclosed on the basis of internal reports that are regularly provided to, or reviewed by, the consolidated entity’s chief operating decision maker which, for the consolidated entity, is the Board of Directors. In this regard, such information is provided using different measures to those used in preparing the statement of comprehensive income and statement of financial position. Reconciliations of such management information to the statutory information contained in the interim financial report have been included.

As a result of the adoption of the revised AASB 8, certain cash‐generating units have been redefined having regard to the requirements in AASB 136: Impairment of Assets.

Notes to the Financial Statements continued

Note 1. Basis of Preparation continued

Accounting Standards not previously applied continued

Business Combinations and Consolidation Procedures

Revised AASB 3 is applicable prospectively from 1 July 2009. Changes introduced by this Standard, or as a consequence of amendments to other Standards relating to business combinations which are expected to affect the consolidated entity, include the following:

  • All business combinations, including those involving entities under common control, are accounted for by applying the acquisition method which prohibits the recognition of contingent liabilities of the acquiree at acquisition date that do not meet the definition of a liability. Costs incurred that relate to the business combination are expensed instead of comprising part of the goodwill acquired on consolidation. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration payable are not regarded as measurement period adjustments and are recognised through profit or loss unless the changes relates to circumstances which existed at acquisition date.

  • Unrecognised deferred tax assets of the acquiree may be subsequently realised within 12 months of acquisition date on the basis of facts and circumstances existing at acquisition date with a consequential reduction in goodwill. All other deferred tax assets subsequently recognised are accounted for through profit or loss.

  • If the consolidated entity holds less than 100% of the equity interests in an acquire and the business combination results in goodwill being recognised, the consolidated entity can elect to measure the non‐controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value (“full goodwill method”) or at the non‐controlling interest’s proportionate share of the subsidiary’s identifiable net assets (“proportionate interest method”). The consolidated entity elects which method to adopt for each acquisition.

  • Where control of a subsidiary is lost, the balance of the remaining investment account shall be remeasured to fair value at the date that control is lost.

Note 2. Dividends

The Company has not resolved to declare any dividends in the period ended 31 December 2009.

Note 3. Segment Reporting

Management has determined that the consolidated entity has one reportable segment, being resources exploration, which is based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. As the consolidated entity is focused on resources exploration, focusing on several base and precious metals resources, the Board monitors the consolidated entity based on actual versus budgeted exploration expenditure incurred by area of interest. This internal reporting framework is the most relevant to assist the Board with making decisions regarding the consolidated entity and its ongoing exploration activities, while also taking into consideration the results of exploration work that has been performed to date.

Revenue by geographical region

The consolidated entity has not generated revenue from operations, other than interest income derived from deposits held at call with banks in Australia.

Assets by geographical region

The location of segment assets is disclosed below by geographical location of the assets.

Note 6. Acquisition of Subsidiaries continued

The loss for the six months ended 31 December 2009, resulting from the acquisition of CMG Gold Ltd amounted to $1,096,900 and is included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Included within corporate and administrative expenses in the statement of comprehensive income are acquisition‐related costs totalling $54,404. The costs include advisory, legal and other professional fees.

The fair value adjustment to exploration and evaluation costs on consolidation of $6,061,160 is attributed to the significant potential, and local and strategic, value of the tenements held by CMG Gold Limited in Brazil.
