PILBARA COPPER-ZINC PROJECT

Feasibility Study

The completion of the Pilbara Copper-Zinc Project Feasibility Study (Study) remains a key priority of the Company.

The proposed development is of a 1.0 Mtpa processing plant treating high grade copper-zinc (Cu-Zn) ore from the adjacent Sulphur Springs underground mine, supplemented by ore from two open pit mines at Whim Creek. The plant will be a conventional flotation circuit producing separate, high quality Cu and Zn concentrates for shipment to overseas markets.

Anticipated mine life is at least seven years before the inclusion of the other potential ore sources within the Company’s resource portfolio, including the high grade Salt Creek and Evelyn resources, and the newly acquired Kangaroo Caves resource. These resources would add significantly to the Project’s life but have yet to be included in the Study due to constraints of cost and schedule.

The Study is anticipated to be delivered in November 2012.

Mining Studies

Design and scheduling work for the Whim Creek and Mons Cupri open pits has been completed. The Sulphur Springs underground mine design and production schedule is under review and revision following the success of recent exploration drilling that indicates scope to deepen the planned mining areas, extending the production life of the Sulphur Springs mine.

The extensive paste fill test work program continues and will continue beyond the conclusion of the Study to accumulate long term data on fill strength and related parameters. Test work results have confirmed the suitability of the tailings material for use as paste fill. Final designs of the paste fill plant, the underground pumping and reticulation system and the tailings storage facility are nearing completion.

Dewatering in advance of the underground mine development will be required, placing it on the critical path of the Project execution timeline. Given its importance, additional test work to improve the accuracy of dewatering models is being conducted during October.

Metallurgy

All metallurgical test work for the Project has been finalised with stable flotation regimes being successfully determined for each of the Sulphur Springs, Mons Cupri and Whim Creek ore types.

Processing and Infrastructure

Process and plant design work for the 1.0 Mtpa processing plant at Sulphur Springs is substantially complete for the proposed crushing, comminution and flotation circuits that will produce separate cooper, zinc and lead concentrates. The lead recovery circuit will not be required until late in the operation’s life when the Mons Cupri ore will supplement the Sulphur Springs underground mine production.

The final design of the elements of the plant related to tailings is being concluded using data obtained from the paste test work. Infrastructure design is largely complete.

2

The proposed treatment plant and associated infrastructure are located adjacent to the underground mine portal, in an open valley to the east of the rugged hills above the mine. The accommodation village and airstrip will be located eight kilometres north-west of the plant site within dedicated tenements permitted for the purpose.

Hydrogeological test work and modelling indicate that adequate water supplies are available for the Project, with water demand being modest as a result of the planned thickening and filtering of the tailings stream prior to placement.

Venturex and Atlas Iron Limited (Atlas) continue regular discussions on advancing opportunities to cooperate on the development of infrastructure items of common interest to the Project and Atlas’s Abydos Project, which lies approximately ten kilometres west. Atlas has advanced preparations for the construction of a road from the sealed Marble Bar Road to Abydos, on Venturex’s existing tenements. This is in accordance with the existing agreement under which Venturex would contribute its share of the capital cost of the road upon a decision to proceed with the Sulphur Springs Project. Discussions are continuing with interested parties for the transport, loading and shipping of concentrates.

Environment and Permitting

Extensive fauna, flora and ecosystem surveys have been completed at Sulphur Springs. No material issues that will affect the development of the Project have been detected.

The Stakeholder consultation process continues with a range of State Government authorities, Local Government, Traditional Owners and other interested bodies in the Pilbara Region.

The details of the Project have been favourably received by key Stakeholders given the lower impact of the Project relative to previous plans.

The use of underground mining, sophisticated paste fill and dry tailings placement processes are important features resulting in a modest footprint and greatly reduced acid mine drainage risk.

Modelling

Inputs from the Study have been compiled into a draft financial model. The inputs and the model will be audited and refined as the Study advances to its conclusion.

Discussions have commenced with a number of national and international banks regarding the provision of debt funding for the construction of the Pilbara Copper-Zinc Project.

Project Timetable

The proposed Project execution plan, subject to Board approval, financing and permitting, is based on the commencement of pre-construction project engineering and development in the first half of calendar 2013. It is anticipated that the proposed construction timetable will enable the Project to commence commissioning at the end of 2014.

Future Developments

The Study group, including RMDSTEM and GR Engineering, continue to refine the Study in several core areas including:

  • optimisation of the Project’s production schedule;

  • location, design and operation of the tailings storage facility; potential capital reduction options through outsourcing and the use of shared infrastructure; and

  • peer reviewing key elements of the Study in order to reduce risk and identify opportunities for further optimisation.

WHIM CREEK SITE

General care and maintenance activities continue at the Whim Creek mine site, with remedial work being undertaken to upgrade the existing site Evaporation Pond constructed by the previous operators. This work is due to be completed in November 2012.

EXPLORATION

Whim Creek Region

A total of 3,285 metres of RC drilling was completed on several new target areas within the Salt Creek trend, located approximately 17 kilometres north-west of Whim Creek. Samples have been dispatched to the laboratory and results were still pending at the end of the quarter.

==> picture [455 x 317] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 2 - Whim Creek Region Exploration Targets

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

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

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 (VXR 70%)

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 (964.7 metres) were completed targeting a series of down-hole EM anomalies positioned down plunge from the existing Evelyn Cu-Zn resource.

==> picture [455 x 302] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 3 - Long Section Evelyn Deposit

The drilling revealed that the target contact horizon has been extensively folded down plunge in a zone of increasing structural complexity. Both diamond drill holes intersected small (0.5 metres) zones of semi massive to massive sulphide mineralisation consisting of predominately pyrrhotite (iron sulphide) with minor zinc and copper sulphides. The mineralised intervals have been 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 further structural analysis and modelling of the area.

5

Sulphur Springs Region

A successful six hole (1,498 metres) RC drill program was completed at Sulphur Springs. The drilling confirms high grade extensions to the Western Lens copper-zinc mineralisation at depth.

==> picture [454 x 311] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 5 - Long Section Sulphur Springs Deposit with Drill Hole Intersection Points

The broad, high grade intersections in drill holes SSR001, 2 and 3 have extended the extent of the Main Zone mineralisation beyond the boundaries of current resource model along a preferred plunge direction (attached Figures 6 and 7).

The exceptional hanging wall intersection (11 metres @ 19.44% Zn) recorded in SSR002 (attached Figure 7) has provided a considerable extension to the extent of the high grade hanging wall mineralisation. The thick hanging wall zone intersected in SSR004, whilst low grade, was unexpected and provides further potential for extensions along strike to the west and up dip. This hanging wall zone is currently not included in the proposed mine plan or the Project’s stated ore reserves.

Work has commenced on revising the Sulphur Springs resource model and the underground mine plan to incorporate the new results as quickly as possible.

Gold Exploration - Brazil

Venturex is exploring for large gold deposits in Brazil through its wholly owned subsidiary, CMG Mineração Ltda (CMGM).

Exploration during the quarter centred on continued regional mapping and soil sampling of the Company’s projects in Pará and the completion of an initial diamond drilling program at Novo Canaã.

==> picture [286 x 204] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 8 - Gold Projects Controlled by CMG Mineração Ltda in Mato Grosso and Pará, Brazil

Nova Canaã

An initial diamond drilling program was completed during the quarter. In total six holes were drilled for a total of 751.65 metres, including 677.72 metres of HQ core and 73.93 metres of NQ core. Collar location and hole details are listed in Table 4 (appended).

The diamond drilling program at the Dona Maria Prospect, located in the north-west corner of the tenement, tested an area where previous trenching by CMGM located a mineralised shear zone which assayed up to 6 metres @ 9.9 g/t gold (Figure 11). The area is part of a consistent three kilometre geochemical gold anomaly coincident with interpreted regional structure and several quartz vein outcrops (Figure 10).

Table 2 - Nova Canaã Diamond Drilling Assay Results

The high grade intersection in drill hole 12NCD004 reflects a zone of intense quartz veining with strong silica and sericite alteration within the granite from 30 metres depth. Within the zone of intense veining, some individual quartz veins contain fine, disseminated visible gold , galena and pyrite mineralisation. Initial interpretation suggest that the high grade zones in hole 12NCD004 and trench 12NCTR003 (6 metres @ 9.9 g/t gold) are part of a west-dipping tensional splay related to the main shear zone.

Figure 12 - Nova Canaã 12NCD004 Core Figure 13 - 12NCD004 Core with Fine Visible Gold

Following interpretation of these results, additional drilling will be planned to further test this zone of mineralisation and other areas within the three kilometre geochemical anomaly defined by auger sampling.

Grande Canaã

A regional auger soil sampling has commenced with 153 soil samples collected and submitted for assay. Assay results are awaited.

Regional mapping has confirmed a package of volcanics and volcaniclastics is dominant in areas previously thought to be underlain by granitic intrusives. An extensive zone of disseminated pyrite mineralisation has been traced and mapped over strike length of 2.4 kilometres. The pyrite occurs as both fine disseminations and as small stringers associated with increased silica alteration and deformation in a variety of rock types.

The program is expected to be completed in the December quarter prior to the onset of the “wet” season.

General

The Company is awaiting further information on the proposed regulatory changes in Brazil in relation to the Mineral Code and environmental permitting processes.
