25 January 2010 Venturex to Target High‐Grade Copper‐Zinc Resources at Whim Creek

HIGHLIGHTS

Following review of Whim Creek geological data, Venturex plans to develop a high grade Volcanic Hosted Massive Sulphide (VMS) resource. Initial work will focus on re‐evaluation of high grade zones within known ore systems. A 5,000m RC and diamond drilling program, expected to start in March 2010, will target extensions of high grade zones.

Key targets include:

  •  Mons Cupri – a sheet of massive and stringer sulphide with drill intersections of up to 23m @ 3.7% Cu[#]

  •  Mons Cupri Northwest – a zone of massive sulphide with a drill intersection of 5.7m @ 7.4% Zn, 2.4% Pb and 1.5% Cu

  •  Whim Creek – massive and stringer sulphides with intersections of up to 19m @ 3.8% Cu

  •  Salt Creek – high grade lenses of massive sulphide with numerous high grade intersections, including 20m @ 16.8% Zn, 6.9% Pb and 180g/t Ag

Volcanic‐Hosted Massive Sulphide Deposits in the Whim Creek Region

ABN: 28 122 180 205

All drill intersections stated in this announcement, except those relating to Liberty‐Indee, are extracted from Straits (Whim Creek) Pty Ltd databases. With the exception of Mons Cupri Northwest they are within existing JORC resources (refer to Venturex announcement of 25 November 2009). Refer to attached table for details.

Priority Resource Development Targets

Mons Cupri

This is the largest known sulphide resource in the Whim Creek mining camp. Within the mineralised envelope there are a number of higher grade massive sulphides and stinger sulphide zones that have potential to provide substantial zones of high grade ore.

Higher grade zones generally form contiguous sheets of massive zinc‐lead sulphide, with underlying zones of “stringer” copper sulphide.

A continuous zone of high grade sulphide located down‐dip and to the west of the Mons Cupri oxide open pit provides an immediate opportunity for a near‐surface high grade resource, amenable to open pit mining.

Mons Cupri Northwest

Significant zinc, lead and copper mineralisation (including WMD060: 5.7m @ 7.4% Zn, 2.4% Pb and 1.4% Cu) has been intersected at relatively shallow depths directly west of the Mons Cupri Northwest pit. These zones are outside existing resource estimates. Further exploration will target down dip extensions of zinc‐lead mineralisation and footwall zones of stringer copper mineralisation.

Whim Creek

Copper‐dominant massive sulphide mineralisation extends below and to the south of the Whim Creek oxide pit. Stringer copper sulphide mineralisation also occurs in the footwall and is largely untested. The Company will re‐ evaluate high grade sulphide mineralisation and design a drill program to confirm and extend known resources.

Salt Creek

Salt Creek is the largest known VMS deposit in the Salt Creek Belt, approximately 17km north of Whim Creek. It consists of a pair of south‐east plunging ribbon‐like shoots of zinc and copper‐zinc massive sulphides. As previously reported (ASX announcement 20 August 2009), total JORC sulphide resources at Salt Creek amount to 1.83 million tonnes @ 1.4% Cu, 3.8% Zn and 1.2% Pb. This includes a higher grade zinc‐lead component of 846,000 tonnes @ 7.7% Zn, 2.4% Pb, 90g/t Ag and a higher grade copper component of 1.02 million tonnes @ 2.0%. As indicated in the Salt Creek cross‐section, zones of high grade mineralisation are well developed. Venturex intends to remodel the resource using a higher grade envelope, and identify lateral and depth extensions of favourable shoots.

Liberty‐Indee

As reported on 25 November 2009, Venturex has completed an initial JORC resource estimate at the Evelyn Prospect, Liberty‐ Indee, of 708,000t @ 1.8% copper, 3.6% Zn, 35g/t Ag and 0.8g/t Au (zero cut off grade). Considerable potential exists to extend the resource at depth and along strike.

Other Targets

Venturex is confident that the proposed drilling programs at the high priority targets will quickly add to existing resources. Additional drill‐ready VMS targets are clearly apparent at the Whim Creek Project. Venturex is currently designing additional drill programs at Balla Balla (targeting a maiden zinc resource), and follow‐up drilling at Evelyn and Quarmby (Liberty‐Indee). Future announcements will detail specific work plans at these prospects.
