Venturex Resources Limited (Venturex) wishes to announce the completion of an initial resource estimation for the Liberty‐Indee base metals project (70% Venturex; 90% Venturex on decision to mine).

The total Indicated and Inferred Resource of 708,000 tonnes grading 1.9% Cu, 3.6% Zn, 35g/t Ag and 0.8g/t Au at the Evelyn deposit provides an initial and valuable contribution to the growing regional resource inventory around the recently acquired Whim Creek Operation. Evelyn is open at depth and further resource growth is anticipated.

The Evelyn deposit consists of two coherent north‐plunging lenses of massive sulphide (>80% sulphide) up to 16 metres true width with high grade cores of copper and zinc mineralisation, often with gold grades exceeding 1g/t. The density of the high grade massive sulphide zones generally exceeds 4.0gm/cc. The main southern lens has been drilled to a depth of approximately 200 metres below surface and both lenses remain open at depth. The upper 30 metres of the mineralisation is partially to completely oxidised.

REGIONAL RESOURCES STRATEGY

As previously announced, Venturex has finalised the Share Sale Agreement to acquire Straits (Whim Creek) Pty Ltd from Straits Resources Ltd. At completion (anticipated 31 January 2010), the full mineral resource inventory controlled by Venturex within a 25 kilometre radius of the Whim Creek Operation will total 12.35 million tonnes grading 0.9% copper, 1.3% Zn and 18.6g/t Ag. A full breakdown of the resource inventory is contained in Appendix 1.

FUTURE REGIONAL STRATEGY

Venturex intends to build a substantial sulphide base metals resource base to support a future production centre around the acquired Whim Creek Operation. The immediate objectives of this strategy are to:

  • Maintain small‐scale copper production from the existing Whim Creek copper oxide heap leach pads to maximise the recovery of the existing mined copper inventory (Appendix 1).

  • Accelerate exploration activities at Whim Creek, Salt Creek and Liberty‐Indee (Appendix 2) in order to continue the growth of the regional resource inventory. Key targets include extensions of high grade massive sulphide lenses at Liberty‐Indee and Balla Balla (Salt Creek), the high grade copper mineralisation at East Balla and superficial zinc and gold anomalies at Whim Creek.

  • Calculate further additions to the global mineral resource inventory where there is sufficient exploration data present, with an initial focus on the high grade zinc mineralisation at Balla Balla (Appendix 3).

  • Commence a scoping study into the economics of a centralised sulphide milling facility at the existing Whim Creek mine site.

The information in this report that relates to Mineral Resources at Liberty‐Indee is based on information compiled by Dr Tim Sugden
BSc, PhD. and Mr Ian Glacken BSc, MSc (Mining Geology), MSc (Geostatistics), Member and Fellow respectively, of the Australasian
Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Dr Sugden is a full‐time employee of Venturex Resources Limited and Mr Glacken is a full time
employee of Optiro Pty Ltd. Both Dr Sugden and Mr Glacken have sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation, type of
deposit under consideration and to the activity which they are undertaking to qualify as a Competent Persons as defined in the 2004
Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Dr Sugden and Mr Glacken consent to the
inclusion in the report of the matters based on their information in the form and context in which it appears.
The following parameters apply to the determination of the Evelyn Resource:
~~Page 5~~
Geological Setting
Copper‐zinc‐lead‐silver‐gold mineralisation at Evelyn is believed to be a structurally modified Volcanogenic Massive
Sulphide (VMS) deposit, associated with mafic volcanic stratigraphy. The VMS horizon can be traced for
approximately12 kilometres alongstrike.
Drilling techniques
The resource estimate is based on 3,327 samples derived from 61 reverse circulation (RC) holes and 4 diamond holes.
Drill hole spacing
Typical spacing of intersection points in the massive sulphide was between 10m and 30m
Drill hole collar positions
Collar positions were determined using a Trimble Pathfinder differential GPS, providing accuracy of less than 100cm.
Down hole surveys
Dip and azimuth readings were taken every 10 to 50 metres using a downhole camera.
Intersection angle
Most RC holes were drilled perpendicular to the strike of the massive sulphide lenses. The angle of intersection
between the lenses and holes isgenerally60 to 70 degrees.
Sampling
The samples within the ore were all virtually 1m in length therefore no compositing of samples was required or
performed.
Sample preparation and
assaying
The samples were analysed at UltraTrace Laboratories. Samples were dried, crushed, split with a riffle splitter and
pulverized. Au, Cu & Zn determined by ICP Optical Emission Spectrometry. Ag & Pb determined by ICP Mass
Spectrometry.
Data validation
DataShed was used for drillhole and sample data storage and validation.
Density
218 density determinations were determined using the pycnometer method. 66 values are inside the ore zone as
defined by the wireframe, and 152 sit outside the ore wireframe. The overall average density value in the ore zone is
4.17 t/m3. In the absence of any values for weathered ore Optiro used conservative values of 3.0 and 3.5 for oxidised
ores and transitional sulphides respectively.
Quality control procedures
Samples with QAQC data were evaluated using QAQCR assay quality reporting software. QAQC data evaluation
included field duplicates,lab standards,repeats and lab blank flushes.
Geological interpretation
Venturex developed a Vulcan format wireframe of the interpreted mineralisation and the surface topography. These
wireframes was converted into Datamine format for resource estimation. No validation or modification of the
wireframes was performed by Optiro. Surfaces were constructed for the base of complete oxidation (BOCO) and top
of fresh rock (TOFR). The information contained in the historical geology logs as well as the collar file were combined
with 29 down hole depths recorded for the TOFR and 9 depths for the BOCO.
Dimensions
Two massive sulphide lenses (North and South) have been identified by RC drilling. The North Lens has a long axis
length of approximately 200 metres and plunges to the north at approximately 50 degrees. The larger South Lens has
a long axis length of at least 300 metres and plunges to the north at approximately 40o. The horizontal strike length is
in the range 60‐125 metres and maximum true width is approximately 16 metres. The lens is open at depth and
interpreted to extend below the North Lens.
Estimations and modeling
techniques
The resource calculation was conducted by Optiro Pty Ltd using data and interpretations supplied by Venturex.
Grades were estimated usingordinarykriging.
Block modeling
The deposit was modelled using a 5 mE by 10 mN by 10 mRL block size with sub‐blocking to a minimum of 0.5 m in
each dimension to correctlyhonour the volume of the lode and weatheringhorizons.
Cut‐off grades, top‐cut
grades
A top‐cut of 20% Cu was applied to copper grades in the oxide and transitional zones.
Model Validation
The resource model was validated against the input data by comparison of the average input composite and output
blockgrades and visual comparison in section andplan views.
Metal Values
A copper equivalent grade (Cueq) was calculated in the model using the following prices:
copper $6,900 per tonne
zinc $2,200 per tonne
lead $2,500 per tonne
silver $18 per oz
gold$1,100per oz
Classification
The classification applied to the Evelyn resource is based on the calculated kriging efficiencies and slopes of regression
in the block model. The parameters reflect the quality of the estimates with regard to the data density and modelled
variogram. The blocks with closely spaced data therefore receive a higher classification that those further away from
data. The classification takes into account onlythe spatial continuitydemonstrated in this round ofgrade estimation.
