EXPLORATION

PILBARA

During the quarter, the Company continued to progress exploration in the Sulphur Springs and Whim Creek Project areas.

Following heritage clearance, the Company commenced the diamond drilling program at the new Midway prospect in the Sulphur Springs area.

Results were received for the regional geophysical and geochemical programs in selected areas of the Whim Creek project area.

Venturex was awarded a further $150,000 grant under the WA Government Exploration Incentive Scheme program for a drilling program in the Mons Cupri SW area at Whim Creek.

Sulphur Springs Exploration

Midway

The Midway exploration target is located between the Sulphur Springs and Kangaroo Caves copper-zinc deposits and was defined from analysis of a historical CSIRO generated HyMapper multispectral survey combined with existing surface exploration data (Figure 1).

The Midway target has co-incident geochemical and alteration pattern anomalism around a possible growth fault structure offering a high priority conceptual target (Figure 2).

The 1,350 metre diamond drilling program at the Midway prospect commenced in midDecember following the finalisation of heritage clearance for the drilling sites. By the end of the quarter, the first hole (VS005) had reached a down hole depth of 233.1 metres prior to the suspension of drilling activities for the Christmas period.

Drilling has recommenced in early January and the 3 hole program is expected to be completed in mid-February 2014 (subject to weather conditions) with assay results available shortly thereafter.

Whim Creek Exploration

Whim Creek Regional

A systematic review of the regional exploration targets in the broader Whim Creek area continued during the quarter with the results of the spectral and lithogeochemisry programs completed over the Salt Creek region received.

The surface spectral and geochemical information, combined with existing magnetics is currently being utilised to re-interpret the subsurface geology map of the Salt Creek region (Figure 3). The initial analysis has outlined several clear alteration signatures along the prospective Salt Creek belt adjacent to existing prospects which will be targeted in future drilling programs.

At the Salt Creek deposit, the analysis of over 30 RC and diamond drill holes has provided evidence of an apparent strengthening of the mineralising system with depth. Analysis of existing deeper drilling in the immediate Salt Creek deposit area and adjacent zones to the north are underway.

Figure 3 – Salt Creek Prospect Locations

Mons Cupri SW Prospect

The Company was awarded a $150,000 drilling grant under the Western Australian Government co-funded drilling scheme to support a drilling program at the Whim Creek Project in the West Pilbara region of Western Australia.

The grant will be used in a 1,550 metre diamond drilling program targeting the Southern Hills area, located south of the Mons Cupri copper-lead-zinc sulphide deposit. The drilling program will target an untested zone of combined ASTER and geochemical anomalism around a complex syn-volcanic fault system.

Previous diamond drilling in the adjacent Mons Cupri South West prospect in 2011 intersected an extensive zone of typical footwall alteration within the target Mons Cupri sequence with one drill hole (VWD013) intersecting fragments of preserved zinc-rich massive sulphide mineralisation (refer to ASX announcement dated 7 September 2011). This extension of the

3

Mons Cupri sequence beneath cover rocks represents a high priority greenfield exploration target adjacent to known mineralisation (Figure 4).

The drilling program is anticipated to commence in the second quarter of 2014 following the receipt of the pre-requisite heritage and site approvals.

Pilbara Cu-Zn Project Development

General

The Company has continued to progress the optimisation and permitting program of the proposed Project during the quarter.

Optimisation Studies

The optimisation process is being advanced as the outlook for continued global growth in both copper and zinc consumption continues to strengthen which, together with the lower Australian dollar exchange rate, provides a strong outlook for the Project’s future.

The Company’s independent consultants have completed a review of key aspects of the Project’s scope. Scenario modelling of a range mining and metallurgical parameters is in progress together with evaluation of range of capital expenditure reduction opportunities.

A review of the Sulphur Springs resource model on a “Net Smelter Return” analysis is underway and will be completed during the next quarter.

Permitting

Discussions are continuing with the Department of Mines and Petroleum (DMP) on the remaining Mining Proposal application for the Project’s development.

Following a series of meetings with the DMP into aspects of the proposed dry stack tailings facilities, the Company and its consultants are preparing an addendum to the Mining

4

Proposal documentation covering additional geotechnical requirements which is expected to be submitted by the end of January 2014. The 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 172] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 5 - CMG Mineração Ltda gold projects in Mato Grosso and Pará, Brazil

Novo Canaã

A further soil geochemical and rock chip sampling program was completed at the Dona Marie prospect at the northern end of the Novo Canaã tenements during the quarter. A total of 214 soil and rock chip samples were submitted to ACME Brazil, including QA/QC samples.

The results from the program are encouraging and outline a WNW trending mineralised corridor that is semi-continuous over more than 6 kilometres along strike. The mapping and sampling program also located two additional small garimpeiro excavations approximately 3 kilometres along strike from the Dona Maria prospect where rock chip samples returned significant results including:

  • Sample 340606, rock chip sample from quartz–iron oxide vein assayed 9.8g/t Au;

  • Sample 340608, rock chip sample from quartz-sericite-iron oxide veining assayed 15.5g/t Au; and

  • A channel sample collected adjacent to sample 340608, averaged 0.45g/t Au over a 9.5 metre length (true width~6 metres) across an altered quartz-veined shear zone.

The defined surface gold anomaly (Figure 6) parallels the WNW trending contact zone between a syeno-granite and sheared monzogranite bodies. Within the altered contact zone, areas of NNW trending quartz veining hosts significant high grade gold mineralisation. The presence of diabase dykes within the prospect is considered significant as they are often associated with gold mineralisation in the region.

Castelo De Sonhos

A surface geochemical and rock chip sampling program was completed over the area surrounding the Chico Garimpo within the Castelo de Sonhos project in November. A total of 277 soil samples and 19 rock chip samples were collected from a 4 square kilometre area on a 200m x 200m grid spacing.

Field mapping in conjunction with the sampling located sparse outcrops of syenogranite, monzogranite, granodiorite and mafic (diabase) lithologies which contained relict iron oxide box works (after primary disseminated sulphide) and alteration minerals indicating proximity to potentially mineralised regional structures. The samples were submitted to ACME Brazil for ICPS multi-element analysis in mid-December with assay results not expected until February 2014.

CORPORATE

Finance

The Company entered into a binding sale agreement for the sale of the Whim Creek Hotel and adjacent Accommodation Village complex in December 2013.

The Whim Creek Hotel, the accommodation village, associated plant and equipment and underlying land title (Lot 58) has been sold to a private investment company, representing a consortium of local investors based in the Karratha region, for a total of $1.7 million cash. Finalisation of the remaining conditions precedent is being progressed and it is anticipated the transaction will be settled by the end of February.

Tenements

Australia

The Panorama Prospecting Licences (P45/2607, 2609-2614 and 2616) were transferred to the Company on the 6 November 2013.

JORC COMPLIANCE TABLE

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

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.

Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.

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.

Surface rock chip samples are collected from in-situ material only. Samples collected are
~3 kg in weight.

Surface grab samples are collected from sub-crop material or shaft spoil from a nearby
excavation, description relates to the actual material sampled. Samples collected are ~3
kg in weight.

Soil samples are collected the A-B soil horizon interface. Soil samples taken from other soil
horizons are recorded with their specific location within the soil profile and depth. Whole
soil samples are collected as ~2-3 kg samples, sieved soils samples are generally 250 gm.

Channel samples are collected as ~3 kg composite samples continuous for the interval
sampled and are representative of all material in the interval. Geological descriptions are
specific as to mineralisation, rock type, structure or alteration are used to domain the
geology and / or sample.

Auger drilling penetrates the regolith to take a 20 - 30cm sample, the sample is composited
to a 1 metre sample, and each sample is combined and homogenized in a contamination
free container to a weight of ~3kg.

Samples are weighed, dried, crushed and pulverised (total prep) to produce a pulp sub-
sample for analysis byfire assay (30gm charge)with AAS 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.).

NA.

Auger drilling utilised a power auger, sampling via a “clam” type bit with 90mm diameter.
Maximum depth is 12 metres; sample return is not representative in wet or unconsolidated
material.
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.

NA
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 andpercentage of the relevant intersections logged.

Surface sample logging includes rock type, weathering, veining, mineralization and
structural data.

Logging was at an appropriate detailed quantitative standard to support future
geological, resource, reserve estimations and subsequent feasibility studies.

10

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.

The sample preparation of sieved soil samples includes drying, dis-aggregation, screening
to 180microns to obtain a 100g sample and pulverizing to 85% passing 75 microns.

Field duplicate were taken for soil samples at a frequency of 1 in 60 samples.

Sample sizes are appropriate to minimize the inherent nugget effect.
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) and
precision have been established.

Industry standard analytical techniques involving a total acid digest with 30g or 50g
FA/AAS used routinely for gold analysis, and Aqua Regia partial digest with 30g ICP-MS
ultratrace analysis for 53 element suite.

No geophysical tools were used to determine any element concentrations reported.

The laboratory used is ACME Laboratories in Brazil. Sample preparation is undertaken in
Brazil with analysis undertaken in Santiago or Vancouver.

Laboratory quality control for every 35 client samples, 1 pulp duplicate, 1 (-10 mesh) reject
duplicate (drill core only, to monitor the sub sampling fraction), 2 blanks to test the reagent
background, 1 quartz wash blank sample for preparation monitoring, 2 certified reference
material samples.

CMGM uses Geostats Pty Ltd reference standards for QA/QC testing of laboratories.
Standard QA/QC control samples including reference standards and locally sourced blank
quartz samples were inserted at a rate of 1 in 50 duringsoil sampling.
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.

NA

Primary data is collected in paper hardcopy format using a set of standard Excel
templates, then entered into a digital geological log spread sheet and sent to the Perth
office. The digital logging data is then validated by an in-house database consultant and
merged into the companies SQL database, any validation issues at this stage are
communicated and rectified bythe supervising geologist. Full copies are stored offsite.
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.

Drill holes are located by handheld GPS to ensure accuracy to within 4 metres.

All trench, sample sites, mine workings and other topographic features are located by
handheld GPS. New locations measured are confirmed by plotting and viewing in
reference to other known locations.

The Grid system used for all data is WGS 84, UTM ZONE 21S.

Quality and adequacy of topographic control is suitable and adequately accurate for the
exploration activities undertaken.
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 data spacing and distribution is suitable for exploration purposes. It is not sufficient to
establish a Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve estimation.

Sample compositing is not undertaken.
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.

Sample lines were oriented near perpendicular to the regional trend.

Future interpretation of drill holes may vary the orientation of mineralization. The extent of
orientation based sampling bias in the data is unknown.
Sample security
The measures taken to ensure sample security.

The chain of custody is managed by CMGM.

All samples are taken directly from the field under supervision to a secured facility
accessed only by senior staff. Samples are transported to Cuiabá for confirmation prior to
shipping via ACME Laboratories.

Drill core is cut and sampled at the laboratory by CMGM staff with samples prepared in
ACME Laboratories in Cuiabáprior to shippingto their assaylaboratory.

11

Audits or reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data.

The data is subject to standard internal reviews and data validation by the supervising
geologist and data base manager.

No independent audits of the samplingtechniques and data have been completed.

activities with this tenement.
Exploration done
by other parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.

No exploration is known to have been undertaken within the Project area by other parties.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.

Gold deposits in the region are hosted within orogenic belts by a variety of metamorphic
and magmatic rocks including orthogneisses, orogenic granitoids, and post orogenic
granitoids. Younger mafic intrusives and felsic volcanics are less well known as host rocks.

Magmatic arc gold deposit styles, carbonatities, low sulphidation epithermal veins, and
greisens deposits are likely within the geological setting.

The deposits styles expected in the Alta Floresta region of Brazil range from high grade (+10
g/t Au), structurally controlled, vein systems to low grade (1-2 g/t Au) stockwork and
sheeted vein systems.

Combinations of both mineralisation styles may exist within the same orebody.

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.

NA
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 cut has been applied.

For reporting exploration results, a nominal 5ppb gold lower cut-off has been applied.

High-grade intervals internal to broader zones of 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’).

Trench sample lengths of mineralization are reported, the true width is estimated from field
mapping..
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 aplan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.

All surface sample locations and summary of results is shown on figures within the context
of each Project.
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.

Not applicable
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.

Geochemical anomalies defined at Nova Canaã are open along strike, Further testing for
vertical and lateral extensions with shallow trenching along strike from the Dona Maria
prospect is planned later in 2014.
