QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014

Highlights

  • New drilling target identified at Salt Creek

  • West Balla emerges as priority exploration target

  • Brazilian exploration activities closed

EXPLORATION

WHIM CREEK

Salt Creek Region

The Salt Creek region consists of an underexplored 12 kilometre belt covering two known areas of mineralisation (Salt Creek, Balla Balla) and a significant number of prospects in soil covered areas.

During the quarter, as part of the ongoing validation of the geological targeting model for the central six kilometre area of the Salt Creek region, alteration mapping coverage at Salt Creek and West Balla was extended with the completion of additional SWIR spectral surveying of existing drill hole samples.

The new results have defined new, strong alteration anomalies at Salt Creek and West Balla with features indicating proximity to possible mineralisation.

Salt Creek Deposit

At the Salt Creek deposit, an additional six deep diamond drill were surveyed to verify a single point anomaly. The new spectral data outlined the presence of a new broad alteration halo (Figure 2) that is associated with increasing copper grades at depth.

Figure 2 – Salt Creek deposit looking north west, Zinc (purple) and Copper (yellow) resource wireframes with ASD spectral data– red colour is proximal response.

This newly recognised proximal alteration halo has not been tested by the current drilling and is completely open at depth in all directions. The data provides a clear future drilling target at the Salt Creek deposit below the limit of the existing drilling.

West Balla Prospect

Modelling of the new spectral information collected from existing drill holes at the West Balla prospect has indicated the presence of a previously unrecognised, strong footwall alteration halo associated with the existing shallow drill intersections. The newly identified alteration halo increases in intensity and extent westwards beyond the limits of the existing shallow RC and diamond drilling in the area.

Recent compilation of historical exploration data in the West Balla area has also revealed the presence of several untested airborne VTEM and ground EM targets (Figure 3) that have not been tested by previous drilling.

The presence of strong “proximal style” alteration and untested geophysical anomalies has elevated the West Balla area as an immediate priority drilling target for high grade “Salt Creek” style mineralisation in the area between the existing mineralisation identified at the Salt Creek and Balla Balla prospects.

Plans for an initial RC drilling program at the West Balla have been submitted with the relevant statutory authorities and heritage groups for approval during the quarter. Approval of the program is pending.

Balla Balla

Previous RC and diamond drilling at the Balla Balla prospect has intersected significant zones of Zn-Pb-Cu mineralisation (Figure 4) over a strike length of 400 metres that remain open in several directions.

Plans for a 2,200 metre RC drilling program to test for extensions to the known mineralisation at Balla Balla were lodged with the relevant statutory authorities and heritage groups for approval during the quarter.

Commencement of the drilling program at Balla Balla and West Balla is anticipated for late in the March quarter but is subject to resolving the delays in obtaining the required heritage clearances in a timely manner.

SULPHUR SPRINGS

Kangaroo Caves

During the quarter, selected drill holes at the Kangaroo Caves deposit, located 7 kilometres south of the Sulphur Springs deposit, were spectrally logged and analysed to assist in geological modelling of the deposit.

Figure 5: Sulphur Springs Prospect Locations

This information combined with the results from the drilling completed in mid-2013 at Kangaroo Caves (see ASX announcement dated 11 June 2013) which located high-grade zinc and copper intersections over varied widths, has defined clear potential to expand the resource below 200m depth with open, high-grade intersections and geophysical support. Further opportunities exist to expand the drill pattern laterally seeking blind parallel positions to the north and south. An initial program of 8-10 diamond drill holes is currently being planned.

LIBERTY-INDEE JOINT VENTURE (70%)

No fieldwork carried out.

BRAZIL

As previously announced (ASX announcement dated 3 November 2014), the Company has resolved to withdraw from all gold exploration activities in Brazil and has proceeded with the closure of wholly owned subsidiary CMG Mineração Ltda.

Pilbara Cu-Zn-Ag Project

General

Notwithstanding the deterioration in commodity markets and market conditions discussions have continued with selected groups on a non-binding basis on opportunities to invest in or advance the Project’s development.

Options to enhance the Project by reducing capital development costs by a target of 25% have been identified and will be evaluated as funding is available.

CORPORATE

Finance

At the end of the quarter, private company Blackrock Metals Pty Ltd advised that their SX-EW treatment facility at Whim Creek continued normal operations for the majority of the quarter prior to minor electrical equipment issues during late December. Venturex holds a 15% Net Profit Interest in the reprocessing operation.

Securities Information

The issued capital of the Company is 1,547,869,181 ordinary fully paid shares and 30,000,000 unlisted options with various expiry dates.

Financial Information

The Company’s net cash and receivables position as at 31 December 2014 was $1.5 million and it has no debt.
