EXPLORATION

Pilbara

The Company maintained an active exploration program in the Pilbara region during the quarter through a combination of drilling programs at Kangaroo Caves in the Sulphur Springs region and around the Evelyn prospect at the Liberty-Indee Joint Venture.

In addition, a program of regional geophysical and geochemical sampling and analysis commenced in selected areas of the Whim Creek project area.

Sulphur Springs Exploration

A total of 19 Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes (4,593 metres) were completed at the Kangaroo Caves prospect during the quarter. The drilling program targeted the zone from 50 to 300 metres vertical depth, testing for potential shallow extensions to the Kangaroo Caves mineralisation.

Significant zones of disseminated and semi-massive zinc-copper-lead mineralisation were intersected in a number of drill holes expanding the potential of the Kangaroo Caves mineralised system. Significant assay results are summarised below:

Table 1 - Significant drill hole intersections (based on 0.25% Cu and/or 2% Zn cut-off)

The high grade intersections in KCR005, 007, 008, 012, 013 and 019 confirmed the complex geometry of the massive sulphide body and significantly extended the area of high grade copper mineralisation within the central part of the deposit.

The intersections recorded in KCR019 and KCR001at the southern end of the prospect has opened the potential to extend the mineralisation to the south where the sequence appears to have been faulted down dip beyond KRC002 and the limits of the current mineralisation model. In addition, the intersections in KCR012 and KCR019 are accompanied by strongly developed footwall alteration zones opening the potential to extend the high grade Main Zone mineralisation to both the north and south of the existing resource envelope.

Work has commenced on revising the interpretation of the Kangaroo Caves resource model in preparation for the next drilling program.

Midway

A new exploration target area located between the Sulphur Springs and Kangaroo Caves resources has been defined from analysis of a previous CSIRO generated HyMapper multispectral survey and existing geochemical and geophysical data. The Midway target, has co-incident geochemical and alteration pattern anomalism around a possible growth fault structure offering a high order conceptual target.

An application for drilling funding under the WA Government Exploration Incentive Scheme program has been approved providing 50% funding of drilling costs up to $150,000 for the program. Preparation for a 3 hole diamond drilling program is underway with drilling anticipated to begin in September or October.

Whim Creek Exploration

Whim Creek

During the quarter, Venturex and its consultants completed a review of the ASTER spectral data over the Whim Creek area with a particular focus on undrilled greenfield areas.

The ASTER data was combined with existing geochemical, geophysical and structural knowledge to generate several new conceptual targets for further work.

Salt Creek

A systematic review of the regional mineralising system(s) in the Salt Creek area commenced during the quarter using a combination of detailed multi-spectral and geochemical analysis.

Initial results from a trial program over the Salt Creek - Balla Balla trend are encouraging and provide a clearer route to mapping alteration patterns and potential mineralisation sites across the entire 15 kilometre Salt Creek belt which is largely soil covered.

While further work is required to better discriminate the significance of the regional alteration patterns outlined, the program has been expanded to cover the entire Salt Creek belt through the re-sampling of historic drill holes for both spectral and geochemical analysis.

This regional program will continue into next quarter and will provide a cost effective basis for future drill program planning at Salt Creek and Whim Creek.

Liberty-Indee Joint Venture (VXR 70%)

A short RC drill program (800 metres) was completed on selected targets at the southern end of the Liberty-Indee tenements. The program was designed to test two mid-order targets along strike from the Evelyn copper-zinc deposit identified from the integration of the new ground magnetic data with previous VTEM and FLEM targets.

Figure 4 – Evelyn Prospect – Drillhole location on RTP magnetic image Figure 5 – Liberty-Indee JV regional geology

A total of 5 holes were completed with 4 holes drilled to test a combined magnetic/VTEM anomaly located 500 metres south-west along strike of the Evelyn deposit. Minor intersections of magnetite and disseminated pyrite-pyrrhotite mineralisation in altered mafic volcanics were recorded.

A single hole was drilled into a stronger VTEM-magnetic anomaly located 600 metres to the north of the Evelyn deposit. While minor magnetite mineralisation was recorded in the overlying sequence, a source for the strong VTEM-FLEM response was not intersected.

Assay results for the drilling are pending. A follow-up program of Down Hole EM is planned to for these holes prior to drill testing several new target areas along strike from the existing Evelyn deposit and a new zone adjacent to the Quarmby North in the hinge of a regional fold zone.

Pilbara Cu-Zn Project Development

General

The Company has continued to progress the enhancement program to optimise the scale and life of the proposed Project during the quarter.

During the quarter, a range of Project activities continued including the construction of the joint Haul Road by Atlas Iron Limited progressed significantly despite the effects of unseasonal heavy rainfall in the Sulphur Springs area. Atlas Iron has advised that commissioning of the road will occur in August.

Long term test work on paste fill strength with Outotec is expected to be finalised during the coming quarter leading to design refinements for the paste fill and tailings disposal systems.

Permitting

Preparation and lodgement of key documentation for the future development of the Sulphur Springs site progressed during quarter.

The Mining Proposal document has been completed and will be submitted imminently following final discussions meeting with the Department of Mines and Petroleum and key Stakeholders.

5

Preparation of the Mining Proposal for the Development of the Sulphur Springs site is nearing completion. Discussions are ongoing ahead of the submission of the key approvals documentation.

Preliminary responses from the various regulatory authorities to the Mining Proposal and other documents are anticipated will continue during the next quarter.

BRAZIL

Gold Exploration

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

==> picture [298 x 213] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 6 - CMG Mineração Ltda gold projects in Mato Grosso and Pará, Brazil

During the quarter, field activities were confined to reconstruction of facilities (camp, airstrip) and track preparation at Serra Verde following an extended wet season in the area.

Renewal of the Novo Canaã tenements (866718, 866719, and 866820) for their second three year term is expected to be gazetted shortly enabling exploration to recommence on these areas. Priority exploration will be the follow up of high grade gold intersections recorded in diamond drilling in late 2012.

Mining Code Changes Update

After a significant period of uncertainty, the Brazilian Government is making progress with respect to the new Mining Code. The Mining Reform Bill was submitted to Congress on 18 June 2013 and a vote is expected by the end of 2013. This is an important step for Venturex as key exploration applications have remained stalled while changes are contemplated to the Mining Code.

CORPORATE

Board Changes

During the reporting period, the following changes occurred to the Board:

  • Mr James (Jim) Mellon resigned as a Non-Executive Director on 11June 2013;

  • Mr Jamie Gibson resigned as an Alternate Director for Mr Mellon on 11 June 2013;

  • Subsequent to the end of the quarter, Mr John Nitschke was appointed as a NonExecutive Director on 4 July 2013.

6

Operational Changes

Venturex has implemented a number of further corporate changes in response to current market conditions.

From 1 July 2013, Managing Director, Michael Mulroney has agreed to a salary reduction of $100,000 per annum to $250,000 per annum. All other employment terms and conditions remain unchanged.

In addition, STI bonuses for the Managing Director and all other employees for the year ended 30 June 2013 were cancelled.

Finance

During the quarter, the Company completed the placement of 60.0 million shares at $0.02 per share to significant Shareholder Henghou Industries (Hong Kong) Limited to raise $1.2 million.

In addition, the Company undertook a 2:11 non-renounceable Entitlement Issue to all eligible Shareholders at $0.02 per share. The Entitlement Issue was supported by significant Shareholders, Regent Pacific and Henghou Industries who subscribed for their full entitlements.

At the close of the Offer, Venturex received valid applications from eligible Shareholders for 109,507,133 available shares equating to 41.96% participation level. A further 3,000,000 ordinary shares were issued under a partial underwriting agreement with Directors of the Company. Total funds raised from the 2:11 non-renounceable Entitlement Issue was $2.25 million.

Pursuant to the terms of the Offer, the Directors may at their complete and absolute discretion place some or all of the remaining 151,467,785 Shortfall Shares with any third parties within three months of the close of the Offer, at an issue price of not less than $0.02 per share.

The placement and raising, together with the existing cash reserves, ensures Venturex is funded as the Company works to grow the Pilbara Copper-Zinc Project’s resource base and optimises the proposed development framework.

Securities Information

Upon completion of the Placement and Entitlement Issue, the issued capital structure 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 ~$2.8 million (excluding performance bonds of $1.7 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 1: Sections 1 and 2 are included in the Appendix).

Kangaroo Caves is situated in the Kangaroo Caves Formation, a volcano-sedimentary sequence within the north – north easterly trending tectonostratigraphic domain known as the Lalla Rookh – Western Shaw Corridor (LWSC) in the central east of the Archaean Pilbara Craton. The deposit is an example of a volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) style deposit in a low grade metamorphic terrain.

The Kangaroo Caves prospect is located wholly within M45/587 and Venturex Resources Limited has a 100% interest in the tenement. The tenement is within the Njamal Native Title Claim (WC99/8).

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.

7

The drilling at Kangaroo Caves and 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.

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 0.25% 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 Kangaroo Caves prospect dips to the northeast at approximately 25-30 degrees with drill holes drilled to the southwest with drill holes inclined between -55 and -90 degrees. The intersection angles are variable and the estimated true width of each intersection is reported separately.

The Liberty-Indee JV prospects 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.

Kangaroo Caves will be drilled on nominal 40m x 40m spacing to scope out the limits of the mineralisation and allow the development of a robust geological model prior to a re-estimation of the Mineral Resource. The Liberty-Indee Joint Venture prospects will be surveyed with downhole 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 24 Reverse Circulation drill holes were completed on a
variable spacing across the deposit to a maximum depth of 350
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

 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.

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.
 Thegrid system used for the location of all drill holes as shown on

all figures is MGA_GDA94, Zone 50.
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 Kangaroo Caves drilling is orientated mainly to the south west,
near perpendicular to the mineralised trend. Limitations imposed
by the rugged terrain dictates that some drilling is conducted
vertically or to the north east at a low angle to the dip of the
mineralised system.
 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.
 Kangaroo Caves is located wholly within Mining Lease M45/587
and Venturex Resources Limited has a 100% interest in the
tenement.
 The tenement is within the Njamal Native Title Claim (WC99/8).
 The tenement is subject to two third party royalties.
 The tenement is a granted Mining Lease, is in good standing and
no known impediments exist.
 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 at Kangaroo Caves by
Sipa Resources Limited in conjunction with Outokumpu and CBH
Resources Limited since 1985 under various joint ventures.
 A Mineral Resource estimate for the Kangaroo Caves deposit was
released to the ASX by JV partners CBH Resources/Sipa Resources
in September 2007.
 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

mineralisation.
 The Kangaroo Caves zinc-copper deposit is hosted by the
Kangaroo Caves Formation, a volcano-sedimentary sequence
within the north – north easterly trending tectonostratigraphic
domain known as the Lalla Rookh – Western Shaw Corridor (LWSC)
in the central east of the Archaean Pilbara Craton. The deposit is
a well preserved example of an Archaean volcanogenic massive
sulphide (VMS) style deposit in a low grade metamorphic terrain.
 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 Table 2 and 3 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
 All reported assays have been length weighted.
 No top cuts have been applied.
 A nominal 0.25% 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.

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
aggregations should be shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.
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 1 in the report
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 Figures 3-5 and 7-10 in the body of the report and
appendix.
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;
geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and
method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk
density,
groundwater,
geotechnical
and
rock
characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating
substances.
 The outline of the previously reported Mineral Resource estimate is
identified on plan section (Figure 3)
 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.
Further work The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests
for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale
step-out drilling).
Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible
extensions, including the main geological interpretations
and future drilling areas, provided this information is not
commercially sensitive.
 Kangaroo Caves will continue to be drilled on nominal 40m x 40m
spacing to scope out the limits of the mineralisation and allow the
development of a robust geological model prior to a re-
estimation of the Mineral Resource.
 The Liberty-Indee Joint Venture prospects will be surveyed with
Downhole EM prior to further drilling.
