SCHEDULE 2 - CONVERTIBLE NOTE - INDICATIVE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Venturex Resources Limited ACN 122 180 205

Convertible Note Term Sheet

The term sheet below reflects the indicative and non-legally binding terms upon which the parties will continue discussion and negotiation of the definitive documents in respect of the Convertible Note described herein. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that the subscription for and issue of the Convertible Note remains subject to contract. Dollar amounts mentioned herein shall be interpreted to mean and refer to Australian dollars.

Issuer: Venturex Resources Limited (ACN 122 180 205) of Suite 3, Level
1, 127 Cambridge Street, West Leederville, Western Australia,
whose securities are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange
(Company).
Guarantors: Straits (Whim Creek) Pty Ltd (ABN 31 071 748 911), Jutt
Resources Pty Ltd (ACN 119 345 327) and any other project
company acquired by the Company (directly or indirectly) will
(together) guarantee the Convertible Note in respect of any
mining tenement or concessions which they own and hold and
which have been disclosed in the Subscription Agreement.
Noteholder: Regent Pacific Group Limited of PO Box 309, Ugland House,
Grand Cayman, KY1-1104, Cayman Islands.
Type of Instrument: Convertible Note which is convertible in whole or part at the
option of the Noteholder into fully paid ordinary shares of the
Company (Shares) upon the terms herein.
Use of Funds Future acquisition funding (Project Funding).
Fiscal Agent: Argonaut Capital Limited.
Security Agent: Hardy Bowen.
Issue Date: Subject to the approvals contemplated herein, the Convertible
Note will be issued at same time as execution of definitive and
legally binding documentation satisfactory to the Noteholder in
respect of any new project acquired (Transaction Documents).
Face Value: of the
Convertible
Note
will
be
Aggregate face
value
A\$15,000,000.
Authorised Holdings: The Convertible Note may be converted and/or transferred in
authorised holdings of A\$500,000 (each an Authorised Holding).
Drawdown Date: Subject to the approvals contemplated herein, at or prior to the
Transaction Documents going unconditional in all respects and
the acquisition by the Company of a new project completing,
provided that the Company has given the Noteholder not less
than 10 business days prior notice.
Term and Maturity
Date:
Unless previously redeemed, converted or purchased and
cancelled, the Convertible Note will be redeemed three (3) years
from the issue date.
Placement Fee: One percent (1%) of the aggregate Face Value payable to the
Noteholder on the date of issue of the Convertible Note.
Coupon/Interest: The interest rate will be one percent (1%) per annum unless the
Conditions Subsequent are not satisfied, in which case it will be
five percent (5%) per annum, effective on and from the Drawdown
Date. The interest rate will be computed on a daily basis on a
year of 365 days. In respect of a Convertible Note that is
converted into Shares, interest will cease to accrue from the
interest payment date immediately preceding the relevant
conversion date or, if none, the issue date.
The applicable coupon rate shall be capitalised throughout the life
of the Convertible Note and each unconverted Authorised
Holding.
Conversion Payment: The Conversion Payment shall be calculated per the following
formula:
$CP = (A$15M + IA/11.3)$ X 12 - A\$15M
Where, $IA =$ interest accrued as at the relevant conversion date at the applicable
coupon rate of one percent (1%) per annum computed on a daily basis on a year
of 365 days.
A proportion of this amount becomes due and payable upon the
conversion of an Authorised Holding. For each Authorised
Holding that is converted, the relevant Conversion Payment is to
be calculated as per the above formula and then satisfied via the
issue of additional shares at the Conversion Price.
For example: If the Noteholder converts the Convertible Note in
full at maturity (and not before) at a Conversion Price of \$0.12,
the Noteholder will be entitled, subject to any ASX and
shareholder approvals stipulated herein, to receive by way of a
Conversion Payment, an additional 11,787,611 Shares based on
a Conversion Payment calculation of \$1,414,513.
If the Convertible Note is redeemed (in full) for cash, the
Conversion Payment is extinguished for no further consideration.
For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Conditions
Subsequent are not satisfied, the Conversion Payment construct
shall be deemed to be extinguished against the application of the
lower Conversion Price of \$0.09 and the higher coupon of five
percent (5%) per annum in the manner stipulated herein.
Status: The obligations represented by the Convertible Note will
constitute:
secured obligations of the Company ranking first in
1.
priority with respect to the assets subject to the security
described in "Security"; and
2.
as to any amount due in excess of the realisable value of
such security, unsecured obligations of the Company
which will (subject to prior realisation
of the
aforementioned security and the application of the
proceeds thereof) rank at least pari passu with all other
present unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the
Company, other than any obligations mandatorily
preferred by law.
The obligations of each Guarantor in respect of the guarantee
given in relation to the Company's obligations under the
Convertible Note will constitute secured obligations of each
Guarantor ranking first in priority with respect to the assets subject
to the security described in "Security".
Security: Principal and interest and any other payments due on the
Convertible Note will be unconditionally and irrevocably
guaranteed by each Guarantor and will be secured by a first fixed
and floating charge to be given by each Guarantor over all equity
in and assets of each Guarantor and their subsidiaries. In
addition, the Company will put in place arrangements post-
closing, by which the Company's interest in any new Project
(once acquired) is also the subject of a first fixed and floating
charge as security for the payment and discharge of all principal
and interest any other payments due on the Convertible Note.
The Noteholder agrees that any such security put in place will, to
the extent necessary, be subordinated should the Company
source and obtain (backed by definitive legal documents) any
project finance for its operations.
Notwithstanding the above, the Noteholder acknowledges that the
guarantee facility in the amount of approximately \$1.52 million (as
adjusted by Statute from time to time) provided by Macquarie
Bank Limited to provide environmental bonds in respect of the
mining tenements will not be discharged and, accordingly, the
Security listed above will not secure any present and future
amounts payable by any Guarantor under such guarantee facility.
Such amounts will comprise a Permitted Encumbrance for the
purpose of the Convertible Note.
Negative Pledge: The Convertible Note shall have the benefit of a negative pledge
whereby, so long as any Convertible Note remains outstanding,
neither the Company nor each Guarantor nor the Company's
other subsidiaries will create any security interest over any of its
assets, with the exception of the security interests described in
"Security" (and the Permitted Encumbrance), and save that
(subject to "Covenants" below) security may be created:
1.
over assets in order to project finance (as senior debt)
the Company's operations;
2.
to the extent required under compensation payments to
traditional land owners negotiated by the Company in the
ordinary course of business; and
by operation of law in the ordinary course of business.
3.
Covenants: The Company shall undertake that it and its subsidiaries shall not

Conversion:
The Convertible Note will be convertible into Shares at any time
(in whole or in part (if in part, in Authorised Holdings)) at the
