Pilbara VMS Project – Scoping Study Confirms Positive Economics
The Pilbara Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) Copper Project comprises 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. All projects are 100% owned by Venturex, except Liberty-Indee (70%) which converts to 90% on decision to mine.
A scoping study, undertaken by Snowden Mining Industry Consultants, confirmed positive economics for the potential development of a centrally located copper-zinc-lead (silvergold) production facility centred on the existing Whim Creek mine site sourcing ore from multiple deposits.
Average annual metal production is forecast at 7,800 tonnes of copper, 13,900 tonnes of zinc and 4,200 tonnes lead, significant gold and silver credits.

Estimated C1 cash operating costs are $0.50 cents/lb copper after by product credits confirmed the proposed Pilbara VMS Copper Project as a low cost metal producer.
The study is 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 has identified 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 underexplored VMS district around Whim Creek to further extend the life of the operation.

The study is 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).
Total pre-production capital is estimated at $95.8 million which includes 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 generates revenue of $800 million , EBIT of $282 million, NPV8% of $101 million at an IRR of 28%.
Significant Project upside exists including:
-
Potential for resource expansion through extension of known deposits and new discoveries in the local area;
-
Increased metal recoveries from further optimisation test work; and
-
Reduced pre-production capital through acquisition of existing equipment or modular plant construction overseas.
Timetable to Production
Subject to board approval, it is anticipated that the Company will now commit to a Definitive Feasibility Study which will be finalised in the third or fourth quarter of the 2010/11 financial year.
Key components of the DFS, as highlighted by the Scoping Study are:
-
Optimisation of flotation performance
-
Circuit configuration (two-stage or three-stage flotation)
-
EPCM costs, including incorporation of used equipment and/or modular (off-site) construction of plant
-
Direct shipping of high grade zinc-lead ores
-
Location and design of tailings dam
Whim Creek SX-EW Project
WASCO expects to commission a 5 tonne per day SX-EW copper plant in late February 2011. Venturex will receive a 50% profit share after recovery of capital.
Exploration Drilling – Mons Cupri
RC drilling designed to test for copper-zinc sulphide mineralisation in the corridor between the Mons Cupri deposit and Mons Cupri Northwest has 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 copper-zinc mineralisation may extend in this area over a total strike length of up to 600 metres .

Brazil
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 underexplored but highly prospective region with excellent discovery potential.
The Serra Verde Project , which has been operated for over thirty years as a smallscale alluvial artisanal mining operation from high-grade epithermal and mesothermal vein systems, has the potential to host multiple high-grade gold deposits.

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. The following consideration is contingent on the gazetting of the central ELAs (850835 – 884) currently under application:
-
Total cost of cash payments over four years of BRL$925k (BRL$250k in Year 1, followed by equal instalments of BRL$225k in Years 2-4);
-
payment on Mining Approval of BRL$2.0mil; and
-
a production royalty of 1.5%
Anytime after the second year, CMGM may pay out the remaining instalments or withdraw from the Agreement at no further cost.

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.

Assay results >0.2g/t in the central Serra Verde Project area.
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. Most of the high grade samples are from quartz-sulphide veins approximately one metre wide. The veins form sub-parallel sets or irregular stockworks. The altered granite hosts rocks are also mineralised, returning gold grades of up to 100g/t Au.

Three prospects, with historical exploration shafts and abandoned production shafts, were sampled to test for extension to and repetitions of mineralised veins. All shafts sampled were mineralised. In many cases the material sampled was wall rock sourced from mullock dumps, vein material having been previously processed.
Activities were concluded in the middle of December 2010 due to the commencement of the wet season and will recommence in late February 2011 or as soon as weather permits.
Over the next six months, CMGM will focus on high-grade exploration opportunities at the Serra Verde Project as well as the Rio Pombo Project in northern Mato Grosso. Recent trench sampling results at Rio Pombo include two metres grading 17.9g/t Au and two metres grading 37.5g/t Au. An RC drilling program is anticipated in the first half of 2011.

Note: Rounding errors may occur.Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves were determined in accordance with the JORC Code, 2004. Samples used in the estimations are from a combination of surveyed RC and diamond drill holes and geological confidence is high for each of the VMS deposits. Assays were determined in commercial laboratories by ICP and AAS methods. Bulk densities were determined by the water immersion technique. Wireframes for each deposit were interpreted using a combination of geological data and geostatistics. The block models were estimated by ordinary kriging using Vulcan 8.0 software. Classifications into Inferred, Indicated and Measured categories are based on a combination of weighted average distance from sample points, variography, drill density and geological confidence. Ore Reserves were estimated using a Net Smelter Return calculation on a cost, insurance and freight (CIF) basis and incorporating variable TC/RC terms and metal prices of: copper US$7715/t, zinc US$2205/t; lead US$2161/t; silver US$19.8/oz; and, gold US$1200/oz. The applied exchange rate is A$1.0=US$0.89. Reserve cut-off grades are: Mons Cupri open pit 0.62% Cu Eq; Whim Creek open pit 0.65% Cu Eq; Salt Creek open pit 0.72% Cu Eq; Evelyn open pit 0.76% Cu Eq; Salt Creek underground 1.96% Cu Eq; and Evelyn underground 1.4% Cu Eq. Cu Eq formula is: Cu Eq = Cu% + Zn% x 0.26 + Pb% x 0.24 + Ag(ppm) x .008 + Au(ppm) x 0.5.
