Review of Operations
During the six months ended 31 December 2017, the Company’s principal continuing activity was the strategy of aggressively advancing the Sulphur Springs Copper-Zinc Project. During the half-year Venturex Resources Limited continued to explore its tenements which are located in the Pilbara, Western Australia.
- Sulphur Springs Copper Zinc Project
During the six months ended 31 December 2017, Venturex continued with strong progress with its strategy of aggressively advancing the Sulphur Springs Copper-Zinc Project towards a development decision.
Critical tasks completed included:
-
Completion of a highly successful Resource infill drill programme;
-
Positive results from Heliborne Electromagnetic (EM) survey were received resulting in 11 identified geophysical targets for follow up;
-
Notification received from the Western Australia Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) confirming permitting pathway for the Sulphur Springs Project at “Environmental Review – No public review”;
-
Development of the environmental review document, required by the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) for the Sulphur Springs project environmental approvals process, progressed with a number of site based environmental surveys being completed;
-
Geotechnical drilling program over the proposed Sulphur Springs Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) footprint to support the facilities detailed design was completed.
Key outcomes of the Resource infill drill programme:
-
Confirmation of the presence and continuity of the previously identified copper mineralisation;
-
Identification of a previously unrecognised zinc rich lens (in this part of the orebody) that overlies copper mineralisation;
-
Increased confidence and ability to classify ore type domains (i.e. Supergene, Transitional and Primary ore types). This will be reflected in the pending Resource update. It is anticipated that the pending Resource update will see material being reallocated between the previously identified ore types;

Whim Creek Copper Zinc Project
During the six months ended 31 December 2017, Venturex continued reviewing and assessing of the Conglomerate hosted gold potential on the Company’s Whim Creek project.
The Company was successful in its application for co-funded drilling assistance that is available under the Western Australian Governments – Royalty for Regions Exploration Incentive Scheme, to test the Mons Cupri South West area.
Whim Creek Access Agreement with BlackRock Metals
During the six months ended 31 December 2017, production of copper cathode was 436 tonnes (2016 half-year: 464 tonnes).
During the half year Blackrock continued turning and restacking the existing heap leach dumps using an excavator. Approximately 50% of the dump has been turned over and is progressively being put back under irrigation. Turning and restacking of the residual ore will continue in 2018 and be ongoing as a means of sustaining production from the heap leach dumps.
Blackrock completed transporting 50,000 tonnes of stockpile copper oxide from the Whundo Copper Mine for processing through the Whim Creek Heap Leach and as at SX-EW.

Performance Rights Plan
Each performance right will vest as an entitlement to one fully paid ordinary share provided that certain performance milestones are met. If the performance milestones are not met, the performance rights will lapse and the eligible participant will have no entitlement to any shares.
Performance rights are not listed and carry no dividend or voting rights. Upon exercise each performance right is convertible into one ordinary share to rank pari passu in all respects with the Company’s existing fully paid ordinary shares.
Tranche 1
Tranche 1 Performance Rights will need to satisfy the performance milestone based on the relative rating of the Total shareholder Return (TSR) for the Company against the TSR’s of a comparator group of resources companies to be determined by the Board in conjunction with an independent advisor.
Tranche 2
Tranche 2 Performance Rights will need to satisfy the performance milestone on achievement of an agreed “material” transaction on a specific date. They have been valued using the Volume Weighted Average Price as at issue date. The expense has been recognised on the basis that all conditions will be met over the vesting period.
Note 6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
- (a) Recurring fair value measurements
The Group does not have any financial instruments that are subject to recurring or non-recurring fair value measurements.
-
(b) Fair values of financial instruments not measured at fair value
-
Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amounts of current receivables and current trade and other payables is assumed to equal their fair value.
Note 7. Events Subsequent to Reporting Date
No other events or circumstances have arisen since 31 December 2017 that would require disclosure in this financial report.
Note 8. Related Party Changes
During the half-year ended 31 December 2017, 8,431,958 Long Term Incentive Rights that were issued to Mr John Nitschke, expired as Mr Nitshke stepped down from the position of Managing Director.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of Venturex Resources Limited
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Venturex Resources Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2017, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the halfyear then ended, and notes comprising a statement of accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of the Group is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
(i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2017 and of its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(ii) Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Directors’ responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2017 and its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of the Group, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
