EXPLORATION
PILBARA
During the quarter, the Company mainly focussed on completing the regional geophysical and geochemical programs in selected areas of the Whim Creek project area.
Preparations for the co-funded drilling program under the WA Government Exploration Incentive Scheme program at the Midway prospect continued with regulatory approvals obtained and drilling contractor engaged.
Following the settlement of the acquisition of the additional tenements in the Sulphur Springs area from the Panorama Exploration Joint Venture (PEJV) partners, a full review of the previous exploration results has commenced.
Sulphur Springs Exploration
Midway
The Midway exploration target is located between the Sulphur Springs and Kangaroo Caves deposits and was defined from analysis of a historical CSIRO generated HyMapper multispectral survey combined with existing surface exploration data. The Midway target has co-incident geochemical and alteration pattern anomalism around a possible growth fault structure offering a high priority conceptual target.
Preparation for the 3 hole, 1,340 metre diamond drilling program is nearing completion with all statutory approvals obtained and heritage survey clearance pending. The rugged terrain in the prospect area has necessitated the securing of a track-mounted diamond drilling rig capable of drilling at angles as low as -25[o] to minimise the extent of site access earthworks required. Subject to the finalisation of delays in obtaining heritage clearances, drilling is now anticipated to begin before the end of November.
Regional
The acquired PEJV tenements cover a large portion of the prospective Panorama Formation, host of the Sulphur Springs and Kangaroo Caves Cu-Zn deposits, around the margin of the comagmatic Strelley Granite.

Figure 1 – Sulphur Springs Regional Exploration Targets
Previous exploration by the PEJV partners included surface mapping, geochemistry and airborne geophysics which have identified a number of significant targets including Nambucca, Breakers, Traunstein, Man O’War, Anomaly 45 and Jamesons prospects.
Limited drilling at the Breakers, Man O’War and Jamesons prospects has previously intersected anomalous zones of base metal (Cu-Zn-Pb) mineralisation that remain open and require further evaluation.

Whim Creek Exploration
Whim Creek Regional
A systematic review of the regional exploration targets in the broader Whim Creek area continued during the quarter using a combination of detailed multi-spectral and geochemical analysis.
Following the initial encouraging results from a trial program over the Salt Creek - Balla Balla trend, the program has been extended across the entire 15 kilometre Salt Creek belt including scanning a suite of 30 RC and diamond drill holes within the Salt Creek deposit to generate a 3D image of the mineralising system and surrounding alteration patterns.
In addition, re-sampling of historic drill holes for both spectral and geochemical analysis has been undertaken at Mons Cupri, Mons Cupri SW and the Evelyn deposit in the Liberty-Indee Joint Venture to begin to “fingerprint” these deposits for future exploration drilling target generation.
The results of this program are currently being collated and interpreted to provide a cost effective basis for future drill program planning at Salt Creek and Whim Creek.
Liberty-Indee Joint Venture (VXR 70-90%)
Final assay results for the 5 hole RC drill program (800 metres) completed in the June quarter were received. The program was designed to test two new geophysical targets along strike from the Evelyn copper-zinc deposit.

Four RC holes (JER090-093) were drilled to test a combined magnetic/VTEM anomaly located 500 metres south-west of the Evelyn deposit. Several intersections of magnetite and disseminated iron sulphide mineralisation were recorded with a best assay of 1 metre grading 0.10% copper from 80 metres in JER093 (Table 2).
A single hole drilled into an anomaly located 600 metres to the north of the Evelyn deposit intersected minor magnetite mineralisation with no significant assays recorded. A source for the strong geophysical was not intersected and a follow-up program of Down Hole geophysics is planned for these holes and previous RC drill holes in the Donkey Well area.
Pilbara Cu-Zn Project Development
General
The Company has continued to progress the enhancement program of the proposed Project during the quarter.
During the quarter, the construction of the joint Access and Haul Road by Atlas Iron Limited was completed and the road was commissioned on 23 August. The road is completed to the Sulphur Springs site turn-off leaving only the remaining 8 kilometres of access road to be constructed as part of the Project development.
Long term test work on paste fill strength with Outotec was completed at the end of the quarter. The results are being reviewed in conjunction with design refinements for the paste fill and tailings disposal systems for the Project.
Permitting
Preparation and lodgement of key documentation for the future development of the Sulphur Springs site was completed during quarter.
The response from the various regulatory authorities has been positive with the Project receiving Commonwealth Environmental Approval to proceed under the EPBC Act and the Clearing Permit from the Department of Mines and Petroleum during the quarter.
Discussions are continuing with the Department of Mines and Petroleum on the remaining applications submitted and Company expects to be in a position to finalise these approvals in the near future.
BRAZIL
Gold Exploration
Venturex is exploring for large gold deposits in Brazil through its wholly owned subsidiary, CMG Mineração Ltda (CMGM).
==> picture [242 x 173] intentionally omitted <==

The statutory three year extension to the Novo Canaã tenements (866718, 866719, and 866820) have been granted allowing the resumption of exploration activities on previously defined surface gold anomalies and the high grade drilling results announced in October 2012.
Infill surface geochemical sampling is planned next quarter within the significant 5 kilometre long surface gold anomaly within 866719 which has the potential to host further high grade structures.
Mining Code Update
The new Mining Code legislation continues to progress slowly in Brazil. While the Mining Reform Bill was removed from an urgent status within the congress, a vote on the new legislation is still expected in late 2013 or the first quarter of 2014. Numerous amendments have been proposed to the Bill and the debate around these proposed amendments has the potential further delay the implementation of any new legislation.
CORPORATE
Board Changes
During the reporting period, Mr John Nitschke was appointed as a Non-Executive Director on 4 July 2013.
Finance
During the quarter, the Company voluntarily “opted in” to the State Government’s new Mining Rehabilitation Fund allowing the retirement of Environmental Performance Bonds covering the Company’s tenements at Whim Creek. This resulted in the release of a $1.69 million bank-held security deposit back to the Company which, together with the benefits of our cost reduction program, proceeds from asset sales and government rebates, has increased the Company’s cash reserves.
Discussions are continuing with respect to the potential disposal of selected non-core assets to further strengthen the Company’s financial position in this challenging market.
Securities Information
The issued capital of the Company is 1,547,869,181 ordinary fully paid shares and 36,500,000 unlisted options with various expiry dates.
Financial Information
The Company’s net cash position at the date of this report is ~$4.3 million and it has no debt.
Summary of Assessment and Reporting Criteria
As per the new 2012 JORC guidelines, the following summary of information used in these exploration results is provided below (JORC Compliance Table: Sections 1 and 2 are included in the Appendix).
The Evelyn deposit within the Liberty-Indee Joint Venture is contained within the equivalent of the Gorge Creek Group Formation, a volcano-sedimentary sequence within the Mallina Basin in the western Archaean Pilbara Craton. The deposit is an example of a volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) style deposit in a medium grade metamorphic terrain.
The Kangaroo Caves prospect is located wholly within M47/1145 and Venturex Resources Limited has a 70% interest in the tenement. The tenement is within the Ngarluma Native Title Area.
The drilling at Liberty-Indee was completed using conventional reverse circulation drilling. Drill spacing is variable due to access restrictions imposed by rugged terrain. RC sample recoveries are in excess of 95%. All drill holes collars were surveyed using differential GPS (DGPS) and all angle holed were surveyed at 10 metre intervals down hole using a gyroscopic survey tool.
One metre RC sample splits were routinely collected and dispatched for analysis. Field quality control procedures involved the use of assay standards along with blanks and duplicate samples to monitor laboratory performance. In total, approximately 4% of total samples were inserted as QAQC samples.
5
Reverse circulation samples were oven dried, crushed and the entire sample pulverised to 85% passing 75 microns. A pulp sub-sample was collected for analysis by four acid digest with an ICP/MS, ICP/AES finish and 30g Fire Assay for gold with AAS finish.
Multi-element assaying is conducted routinely for a suite of potentially deleterious elements including (but not limited to) Arsenic, Antimony, Bismuth, Cadmium, Mercury and Sulphur.
All reported assays have been length weighted. No top cuts have been applied. A nominal 0.10% copper and 2.0% zinc lower cut-off has been applied. High grade massive sulphide intervals internal to broader zones of sulphide mineralisation are reported as included intervals.
The Evelyn deposit within the Liberty-Indee JV dip to northwest at approximately 75 degrees with drill holes drilled to the east southeast with drill holes inclined at -60 degrees. The intersection angles are the estimated true width of each intersection.
The Liberty-Indee Joint Venture prospects will be surveyed with down-hole EM prior to further drilling.

JORC COMPLIANCE TABLE
Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data
| Criteria | JORC Code Explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques | Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.). These examples should _not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. _ |
A total of 5 Reverse Circulation drill holes were completed on a variable spacing across the deposit to a maximum depth of 250 metres. The drill holes were sampled via a standard adjustable cyclone and riffle splitter from the recovered sample. |
| Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. |
Whole metre samples were split at the rig using a cone splitter. | |
| Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
Reverse circulation drilling was used to produce samples of approximately 3kgs. Samples were weighed, dried, crushed and pulverised (total prep) to produce a pulp sub-sample for analysis by four acid digest with an ICP/OES, ICP/MS or FA/AAS (Au) finish. |
|
| Drilling techniques | Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, _etc.). _ |
Reverse circulation drilling used 5.5 inch face sampling hammer. |
| Drill sample recovery | Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. |
RC sample recoveries remained consistent throughout the program. Any low recovery intervals were logged and entered into the database. The cyclone and splitter were routinely inspected and cleaned during the drilling ensuring no excessive material build-up. Care was taken to ensure the split samples were of a consistent volume. |
| Logging | Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc.) photography. The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
RC drill holes were logged geologically including but not limited to details of weathering, regolith, lithology, structure, texture, alteration and mineralisation. Logging was at an appropriate quantitative standard to support future geological and resource estimation studies. All holes were logged in full. |
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether sampled wet or dry. For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
1 metre RC samples were collected and split off the drill rig using a cone splitter. Approximately 90% of the samples were dry in nature. The sample preparation of the RC sample follows industry best practice in sample preparation involving weighing, oven drying, pulverisation of the entire sample (total prep) to a grind size of 85% passing 75 micron. Venturex has its own QAQC procedures involving the use of certified standards, blanks and duplicates. The QAQC has been independently audited with no apparent issues. No field duplicates have been taken. The sample sizes are considered appropriate given the relatively fine grained nature of the sulphide mineralisation which is not nuggetty in nature, the sampling methodology and the percent assay value ranges involved. |
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc., the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) andprecision have been established. |
The analytical technique uses a four acid digest multi-element suite with ICP/MS finish (30g FA/AAS for precious metals). The acids used are hydrofluoric, nitric, perchloric and hydrochloric acids, suitable for the dissolution of most silica based samples. The method approaches total dissolution of most minerals. Total sulphur is assayed by combustion furnace. No geophysical tools were used to determine any element concentrations reported. Duplicates are taken every 25m and every metre is checked by two 30sec measurements using a Niton handheld XRF. |
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. The use of twinned holes. Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. Discuss any adjustment to assay data. |
Significant intersections are checked by the Exploration Manager and Managing Director. Significant intersections are also verified/ by portable XRF data collected in the field and cross checked against the final assays when received. Primary data was collected using a set of standard Excel templates on a data logger and uploaded to note book computer. The data is sent to Perth office for verification and compilation into an SQL database by the in-house database administrator. Full copies are stored offsite. No adjustments were made to any assay data used in this report. |
| Location of data points |
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. Specification of the grid system used. Quality and adequacy of topographic control. |
Hole collar coordinates have been picked up by Venturex employees using a DGPS with all co-ordinates and RL data considered reliable. Downhole surveys were performed on all holes by reflex gyro readings at 10 metre down hole intervals. The grid system used for the location of all drill holes as shown on all figures is MGA_GDA94, Zone 50. |
8
| Criteria | JORC Code Explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Data spacing and distribution |
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. Whether sample compositing has been applied. |
The nominal drill spacing is generally 40m x 40m where the rugged terrain permits access. The current spacing is adequate to assume geological and grade continuity of the mineralised domain. No compositing has been applied to the exploration results. |
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. |
The Liberty-Indee JV drilling is orientated mainly to the south east near perpendicular to the mineralised trend. Given the stratigraphic nature of the mineralising system, no orientation based sampling bias has been identified in the data at this point. |
| Sample security | The measures taken to ensure sample security. | The chain of custody is managed by Venturex. The samples are transported by Venturex personnel to Whim Creek, stored in a secure facility and collected from site by Toll IPEC and delivered to the assay laboratory in Perth. Online tracking is utilised to track the progress of batches of samples. |
| Audits or reviews | The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. |
No review has been carried out to date. The protocols adopted are identical to those used and audited for the Sulphur Springs Feasibility Study in December 2012. |
Section 2: Reporting of Exploration Results
| Criteria | JORC Code Explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. |
The Evelyn deposit area is located wholly within Mining Lease M47/1145 and Venturex Resources Limited has a 70% interest in the tenement. The tenement is within the Ngarluma Native Title Area. The tenement is subject to one third party royalty. The tenement is a granted Mining Lease, is in good standing and no known impediments exist. |
| Exploration done by other parties |
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
Previous exploration has been conducted in the Liberty-Indee JV area by Aquitaine Minerals, Homestake Limited and Ourwest Pty Ltd sporadically since 1972. |
| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
The Evelyn zinc-copper deposit is hosted in an equivalent to Gorge Creek Group, a volcano-sedimentary sequence within the north – north easterly trending Mallina Basin in the western Archaean Pilbara Craton. The deposit is believed to be an Archaean VMS deposit in a medium grade metamorphic terrain. |
| Drill hole Information | A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: easting and northing of the drill hole collar elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar dip and azimuth of the hole down hole length and interception depth hole length. If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |
See Tables 1 and 2 in the Appendix. |
| Data aggregation methods |
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
All reported assays have been length weighted. No top cuts have been applied. A nominal 0.1% copper and 2.0% zinc lower cut-off has been applied. High grade massive sulphide intervals internal to broader zones of sulphide mineralisation are reported as included intervals. |
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this _effect(e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’). _ |
Refer Table 2 in the Appendix. |
| Diagrams | Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
Refer to Figure 2 in the body of the Report. |
| Balanced reporting | Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
All results are reported. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; |
Multi-element assaying is conducted routinely for a suite of potentially deleterious elements including (but not limited to) Arsenic, Antimony, Bismuth, Cadmium, Mercury and Sulphur. |
