Pilbara Cu-Zn Project

Project Activities - Progressing Forward

  • Project Status

  • Permitted - Development Ready

  • Review Process

  • Simplifying plant and infrastructure design

  • Opex competitive, Optimising Capex

==> picture [254 x 159] intentionally omitted <==

  • Infrastructure

  • Joint Access Road commissioned – full access to within 6 kms of site

  • Permitting – Major advances achieved

  • Key Project development approvals secured

  • Discussions proceeding with potential development partners

Exploration Overview

Growth through Exploration

==> picture [244 x 241] intentionally omitted <==

Untapped Potential

  • Polymetallic VMS deposits are globally proven high - value exploration targets

  • VMS deposits occur in clusters, global average is 5-8 deposits per province

  • Venturex holds a significant land position in proven, fertile Archaean VMS terrain

  • Historically fractured ownership = no consistent exploration focus

==> picture [169 x 127] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [166 x 126] intentionally omitted <==

  • Little drilling beyond 200 metres depth – virtually no drilling below 300 metres

  • We have barely scratched the surface

  • Sulphur Springs – Kangaroo Caves corridor not drilled historically – prime focus

  • Recent drilling at Midway is the first exploration of this prospective 7km zone

  • Consolidated ownership– over 25 kms of prospective strike held

  • CSIRO HYMAPPER Survey outlined alteration zonation patterns

  • Recent Midway drilling is first test for presence of a new hydrothermal zone

  • Ongoing spectral analysis of drill core – building 3D interpretation

Exploration Overview

Multiple Targets within Prospective Horizon

  • Sulphur Springs – open at depth, no deep drilling, adjacent Bledisloe zone has broad zinc and copper intersections

  • Kangaroo Caves – current resource is open in several directions

  • Midway – spectral “fingerprint” target

  • Breakers – limited drilling, widespread disseminated zinc

  • BKP001 - 25m @ 3.8% Zn, BKD002 - 8.8m @ 3.2% Zn

  • Man O’War – limited drilling, disseminated zinc and copper

  • MOD008 - 23m @ 0.6% Zn,

  • MOD005 - 17m @ 0.3% Cu,

  • MOD004 - 3.9m @ 1.4% Pb 3.6% Zn 44g/t Ag

  • Jamesons – zones of sulphide in folded basin

  • JMC004 - 6m @ 3.2% Zn,

  • JMD1 - 3m @ 8.0% Zn, 4m @ 3.1% Zn

Exploration Overview

Whim Creek – Limited Exploration

==> picture [721 x 136] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [721 x 136] intentionally omitted <==

  • A long history – but very limited drilling outside of known deposits

  • Mons Cupri system has potential for extensions (Mons Cupri NW pit) and repetitions (May’s Find)

Exploration Overview

Salt Creek – A Developing Story

==> picture [613 x 162] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [613 x 162] intentionally omitted <==

  • Close proximity to Whim Creek – evidence of widespread hydrothermal activity

  • Ongoing geochemical/NIFR spectral studies redefining geological setting

Exploration Overview

Limited drilling Balla Balla - ACL area

  • Region is sparsely drilled

  • Salt Creek and Balla Balla zones - open at depth

  • West Balla/ACL area highlighted from new analysis

  • ACL area - scattered drill hole hits (incl. 6m @ 2.0% Cu) in setting analogous to Mons Cupri

  • Drilling planned for second half 2014
