-
Major sources of Cu, Zn, Pb, Ag, Au, Sn, In, Ga
-
Provided 22% of world Zn production
-
& 6% of world Cu production
-
Known from 3.4 billion years to present
-
Formed on or near sea-floor
==> picture [169 x 168] intentionally omitted <==
-
Structurally controlled by rifts and calderas
-
Range in size from <1mt to >1.2bt
-
Often high grade

The information in this report that relates to Mineral Resources at Panorama is based on information reviewed by Dr Tim Sugden BSc, PhD who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Dr Sugden is a full-time employee of Venturex Resources Limited and has 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 consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

ReserveNotes
Ore Reserves at Whim Creek, Mons Cupri, Salt Creek and Liberty-Indee were estimated using a Net Smelter Return calculation on a cost, insurance and freight (CIF) basis and incorporating variable TC/RC terms and metal prices of: copper US$7715/t, zinc US$2205/t; lead US$2161/t; silver US$19.8/oz; and, gold US$1200/oz. The applied exchange rate is A$1.0=US$0.89. Reserve cut-off grades are: Mons Cupri open pit 0.62% Cu EQ; Whim Creek open pit 0.65% Cu EQ; Salt Creek open pit 0.72% Cu EQ; Evelyn open pit 0.76% Cu EQ; Salt Creek underground 1.96% Cu EQ; and Evelyn underground 1.4% Cu EQ.
A pre-feasibility level underground mine design for the Panorama deposit was completed by SN Consulting in December 2009. The design was developed from detailed geological information provided by CBH geologists and geotechnical input from Coffey Mining. A production rate of 600,000 tpa was selected as optimal for the low tonnage high grade options based on achievable extractions rates and expected mine life balanced against capital cost of infrastructure. This is greater than the proposed production rate of 500,000tpa in the Venturex combined operations scenario. The mining design incorporates a combination of bottom-up bench stoping in the narrow (less than 20m wide) sections of the ore body with long hole open stoping for the wider central zones. The bench stoping areas utilise a 25m level interval whereas the open stopes have a 40m interval (with a 20m sub-level drill drive). As the orebody is made up of a number of discrete ore zones, several stopes can be mined on each level concurrently. Production from stoping would be dependent on the advance of the decline. Stope shapes were designed based on the 10% Zinc equivalent ore body. The orebody solid was sectioned at 5m levels for use in stope design. Stope outlines were created by digitising practical mining shapes based on the ore body level plans and creating solid models. Each resulting solid was checked with the 5m ore body level plans to check continuity between levels and in some cases modified with intermediate outlines where rapid change in ore body shape were evident. Where the practical stope shape takes in waste or low grade material this is included in the reserve as planned dilution. Mining dilution has been estimated as 5% at a grade of 4.8%Zn and 1.5%Cu. The dilution grade has been calculated by modeling the potential over break then extracting the tonnes and grade from the block model. A stoping recovery factor of 95% was applied to the bench stoping method. The ore loss is attributable to the ability to handle oversize rocks, stope bogging efficiency and blasting the ore onto unconsolidated rock fill.
