Spectacular Zinc-Lead-Silver Grades at Salt Creek, Pilbara VMS Project
Assay results include:
3.45 metres @ 49.2% Zn, 7.1% Pb, 327g/t Ag and 4.1g/t Au 4.75 metres @ 47.8% Zn, 8.7% Pb, 294g/t Ag and 0.9g/t Au
Venturex Resources Limited is pleased to report that resource definition drilling at Salt Creek, part of the Pilbara Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) Project, has intersected very high grade zinc‐lead‐silver mineralisation.

In the eastern massive sulphide lens, diamond hole SCD005 intersected 3.45 metres @ 49.2% Zn, 7.1% Pb, 327g/t Ag and 4.1g/t Au and SCD009 intersected 4.75 metres @ 47.8% Zn, 8.7% Pb, 294g/t Ag and 0.9g/t Au. The true width of the sub‐vertical massive lens is estimated to range from 2 to 3 metres.
In the western massive sulphide lens, diamond hole SCD002 intersected 12.8 metres @ 8.8% Zn, 4.7% Pb, 76g/t Ag and 0.5g/t Au. The intersection confirms continuity of massive sulphide mineralisation in the upper part of the lens.

The results confirm continuity of very high grade mineralisation in the main zinc‐ lead‐silver lenses at Salt Creek and support the potential for selective narrow vein underground mining. A revised estimate of a high grade zinc‐lead‐silver will be determined to JORC standard.

Indium grades are also significant in the massive sulphide zones, including 3.45m @ 223g/t in SCD005 and 4.75m @ 69g/t in SCD009. Due to growing demand for indium in liquid crystal displays and thin‐film solar technology, the price of indium has increased substantially in the last 5 years and now trades at approximately US$600/kg after reaching a high of US$1,000/kg in 2006. Flotation recovery of indium to zinc and lead concentrates is yet to be determined. Smelters and refiners may pay a premium for concentrates containing indium above a threshold value.
Continuing Work Program
The RC and diamond drilling program will continue targeting an extensive list of exploration opportunities within the broader Whim Creek and Liberty‐Indee VMS provinces including the following:
-
Delineation of high grade Cu‐Au mineralisation at Mons Cupri
-
Targeting the lateral and depth extensions of the Balla Balla VMS lens (Salt Creek trend)
-
Untested geochemical and geophysical anomalies in the broader Salt Creek VMS Belt
-
Numerous untested gossans in the Whim Creek ‐ Mons Cupri corridor

-

-
