Interim Financial Report Period Ended 31 December 2010

Venturex Resources Limited 28 122 180 205

Directors’ Report

Your Directors present their report on the Group consisting of Venturex Resources Limited and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the half year ended 31 December 2010.

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:

Mr Anthony Kiernan Non-Executive Chairman (Appointed 14 July 2010) Mr Michael Mulroney Non-Executive Director Dr Allan Trench Non-Executive Director Dr Tim Sugden Managing Director Mr Anthony Reilly Executive Director

Review of Operations

In the six months ended 31 December 2010, 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.

Pilbara Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide Project

Exploration

Further RC drilling at the key Mons Cupri deposit intersected substantial widths of copper-zinc-silver-gold mineralisation, extending the upper high-grade massive sulphide zone further to the north. Significant results included drill hole MCR12, which intersected 8 metres grading 4.2% Cu, 5.7% Zn, 256g/t Ag and 0.91g/t Au. Further RC drilling designed to test for copper-zinc sulphide mineralisation in the corridor between the Mons Cupri deposit and Mons Cupri Northwest returned results of up to 10 metres @ 1.15% Cu and 0.44% Zn from 38 metres. This zone is interpreted to be flat-lying and contiguous with previous intersections below the Northwest pits, including 8 metres @ 4.15% Cu from 24 metres. The results indicate that near-surface copperzinc mineralisation may extend in this area over a total strike length of up to 600 metres.

Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve Upgrades

Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves for the Mons Cupri and Whim Creek deposits were re-estimated in accordance with the JORC Code 2004, incorporating the results of RC and diamond drilling programs. The combined Mons Cupri and Whim Creek Mineral Resource estimate (all categories), at a cut-off grade of 0.6% Cu EQ[1] , was revised to 5.97 million tonnes @ 1.64% Cu EQ. The revised Probable Ore Reserve estimate at a cut-off grade of 0.85% Cu EQ was determined to be 3.47 million tonnes @ 2.2% Cu EQ. Wireframe models of the high grade zinc-lead-silver and copper lenses at Salt Creek were also completed and a substantially higher grade resource was calculated.

Scoping Study

A scoping study, undertaken by Snowden Mining Industry Consultants, confirmed positive economics for the potential development of a centrally located copper-zinc-lead (silver-gold) production facility centered on the existing Whim Creek mine site sourcing ore from multiple deposits. The Project incorporates the Mons Cupri, Whim Creek, Evelyn and Salt Creek deposits, together with proposed plant and infrastructure. Mons Cupri, Whim Creek and Salt Creek are located on granted Mining Leases, while an application is pending for a Mining Lease over the Evelyn deposit at Liberty-Indee. Average annual metal production was forecast at 7,800 tonnes of copper, 13,900 tonnes of zinc and 4,200 tonnes lead, together with significant gold and silver credits. Estimated C1[2] cash operating costs were determined to be around $0.50 cents/lb copper after by product credits. The study was based on a Mineral Resource of 7.6 million tonnes grading 2.2% Cu EQ as estimated by Venturex using the guidelines of the JORC Code 2004. The study delineated an initial open pit and underground Ore Reserve of 4.5 million tonnes grading 2.7% Cu EQ sufficient to support an initial mine life of nine years without any future exploration success. It is anticipated that ongoing exploration will add Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve additions in the under-explored VMS[3] district around Whim Creek to further extend the life of the operation. The study was based on plant capacity of 600,000tpa and an average life of mine grade of 1.4% Cu, 2.8% Zn, 0.9% Pb, 0.3g/t Au and 35g/t Ag (equivalent to 2.7% Cu).

1 Cu EQ: Cu% + Zn% x 0.255 + Pb% x 0.24 + Ag(ppm) x 0.008 + Au(ppm) x 0.5

2 C1: Projected cash cost including mining, processing, site administration and refining, net of product credits.

3 VMS: Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide

Directors’ Report continued

Review of Operations continued

Scoping Study continued

Total pre-production capital was estimated at $95.8 million which included the construction of a new milling and flotation circuit together with concentrate handling facilities. Crushing and key infrastructure facilities, including accommodation, site access, haul roads and water supply, are already in place at the Whim Creek site. Based on metal prices of US$3.50/lb Cu, US$1.00/lb Zn, US$0.98/lb Pb, US$19.8/oz Ag and US$1,200/oz Au, the Project is expected to generate life-of-reserves revenue of $800 million, EBIT of $282 million, NPV8% of $101 million at an IRR of 28%. Significant Project upsides include: potential for resource expansion through extension of known deposits and new discoveries in the local area; local acquisitions to expand the proposed scale of operations; increased metal recoveries from further optimisation test work; and reduced preproduction capital through use of existing equipment or modular plant construction overseas.

Whim Creek SX-EW Project

Under agreement with Venturex, WASCO Pty Ltd had substantially completed construction of a 5 tonne per day SX-EW copper plant. The plant is expected to be commissioned in March 2011. Venturex will receive a 50% profit share after recovery of capital.

Brazil - Serra Verde

In November 2010, Venturex’s 100%-owned Brazilian subsidiary, CMG Mineração Limitada (CMGM), acquired the rights to a significant new high-grade gold project in the Western Tapajós Gold Province in the State of Para in Brazil – an under-explored but highly prospective region with excellent discovery potential. The Serra Verde Project, which has been operated for over thirty years as a small-scale alluvial artisanal mining operation from high-grade epithermal and mesothermal vein systems, has the potential to host multiple high-grade gold deposits. Preliminary exploration activities by CMGM geologists conducted prior to the acquisition, including surface sampling, mapping and monitoring of current small scale production, have confirmed the potential of the Serra Verde Project area to host multiple high grade gold deposits. Of 91 bedrock samples assayed to date, 29 values exceeded 1g/t Au and 10 exceeded 31.1g/t Au (one ounce per tonne). The highest grade returned to date is 254g/t Au. The project consists of a number of granted leases and applications, covering an area of 19,670Ha. Exploration lease 850336 has been granted to CMGM. Exploration leases 850835-884 are under application by CMGM. The Company expects that these will be gazetted by the DNPM by March 2011. Exploration lease 850173 and prospecting licences 850174-180 are under application by CMGM Director, Mr Jonas Ferreira da Silva. On grant, these will be transferred to CMGM for zero consideration. In parallel to these applications, CMGM has executed an Agreement with João Batista da Silva Ferreira to acquire tenements 850359 and 850564.

Interim Financial Report Period Ended 31 December 2010

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 2010 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group”), Venturex Pilbara Pty Ltd, 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 2010 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting, Australian Accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncement of Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.

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 interim financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2010, together with any public announcements made during the half year.

Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the company’s 2010 annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2010, except for the impact of the Standards and Interpretations described below. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.

The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to their operations and effective for the current reporting period.

New and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the current reporting period that are relevant to the Group include:

  • Amendments to AASB 5, 8, 101, 107, 117, 118, 136 and 139 as a consequence of AASB 2009-5 Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project.

AASB 2009-5 introduces amendments into Accounting Standards that are equivalent to those made by the IASB under its program of annual improvements to its standards. A number of the amendments are largely technical, clarifying particular terms, or eliminating unintended consequences. Other changes are more substantial, such as the classification of expenditures on unrecognised assets in the statement of cash flows.

The adoption of these amendments has not resulted in any changes to the Group's accounting policies.

Going Concern

The Group incurred a loss of $1,281,415 (31 Dec 2009: $1,993,767), net decrease of cash flows of $1,628,074 (31 Dec 2009 increase: $18,257) and had a net asset balance of $23,834,697 (30 Jun 2010: $23,416,741) for the interim period ended 31 December 2010, including a cash balance of $3,136,697 (30 June 2010: $4,769,519).

The Directors are of the opinion that the Group’s exploration and development assets will attract further capital investment if and when it is required. The Directors will continue to maximise the value of existing assets through careful planning of drilling campaigns, calculation of mineral resources as sufficient data becomes available and have commenced a bankable feasibility study to determine future operational cash flows. In addition, the Directors will continue to assess other asset acquisition opportunities that they reasonably believe have the potential to increase the value of shareholders’ equity. The Group will also consider divestments if the proceeds are likely to exceed the realisable value of such assets if they were retained.

The Group has a sufficient cash reserves to fund future exploration programs and the bankable feasibility study. For details of capital raisings subsequent to 31 December 2010, please refer to Note 6 - Events subsequent to reporting date.

The Group incurred impairments and write-offs of exploration assets to the value of $57,987 (31 Dec 2009: $464,614). The Directors anticipate that further impairments and write-offs of exploration assets will not be incurred in the 2010/2011 financial year due to:

  • The Group continuing to add value to its Pilbara tenements by increasing resources and commencing a bankable feasibility study,

  • The Group acquiring CBH Sulphur Springs Pty Ltd subsequent to 31 December 2010; please refer Note 6 - Events subsequent to reporting date, and

  • The Group holding 100% interest in the remaining Brazilian exploration tenements and intends to conduct gold exploration programs during the year.

Interim Financial Report Period Ended 31 December 2010

Venturex Resources Limited 28 122 180 205

Notes to the Financial Statements continued

Note 1. Basis of Preparation continued

Going Concern continued

The Directors believe that the Group will be successful in the above matters and, at this time, the Directors are of the opinion that no asset is likely to be realised for an amount less than the amount at which it is recorded in the interim financial report as at 31 December 2010. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of the asset carrying amount or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary if the Group is unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 2. Dividends

The Company has not resolved to declare any dividends in the period ended 31 December 2010.

Note 3. Segment Reporting

Management has determined that the Group 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 Group is focused on resources exploration, focusing on several base and precious metals resources, the Board monitors the Group 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 Group 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 Group has not generated revenue from operations, other than interest income derived from deposits held at call with banks in Australia and the expiry of options previously issued as share based payments.

Assets by geographical region

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