Whim Creek VMS District
----- End of picture text -----

Great Potential for New Discoveries

  • Five significant VMS deposits are known (all outcropping)

  • VMS Districts of similar scale typically contain 8-19 economic deposits

  • Approximately 36 km of VMS horizon to be explored

  • Numerous gossans yet to be evaluated

  • Very limited drilling below depth of 150 metres

  • Highly likely that further discoveries will be made

 Initial targets include:

 Mons Cupri Northwest  Mons Cupri – Southwest Corridor (Inc. May’s Find)  Whim Creek Trough  Salt Creek – Balla Balla Trend  Liberty-Indee

Notes, Competency Statements & Disclaimer
----- End of picture text -----

Notes: The metal contents in some rock samples in this presentation were determined by a handheld Niton® XL3t 700 X ‐ ray Fluorescence quantitative micro ‐ analyser, operating in “mining mode”. The analysis window on the Niton® instrument has a diameter of 8mm; generally larger than the grain size of the ore minerals. Whilst Venturex believes that these readings are reliable indications of metal grade (and supported by semi-quantitative visual estimates of ore minerals), they are not formal assays and will not be used in estimation of ore resources.

CuEq: Cu% + Zn% x 0.28 + Pb% x 0.26 + Ag(ppm) x 0.008 + Au(ppm) x 0.153

Competency Statements: The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves at Whim Creek, Mons Cupri, Salt Creek, Liberty-Indee and Brazil is based on information compiled by Dr Tim Sugden BSc, PhD, and Mr Steven Wood who are Members of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Dr Sugden and Mr Wood are full ‐ time employees of Venturex Resources Limited and have sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation, type of deposit under consideration and to the activity being undertaking to qualify as Competent Persons as defined in the 2004 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Dr Sugden and Mr Wood consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on their information in the form and context in which it appears.
