SULPHUR SPRINGS RESOURCE INCREASE

High grade drilling results drive Sulphur Springs Mineral Resource upgrade

Ore Reserve upgrade pending

Venturex Resources Limited (ASX: VXR) (“Venturex” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce an upgrade in the Mineral Resource for the Sulphur Springs copper-zinc deposit in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

Following the recently completed Reverse Circulation drilling program at Sulphur Springs which confirmed high grade extensions to the Western Lens copper-zinc mineralisation[1] , Venturex has undertaken a revision of the mineral resource model for the Sulphur Springs deposit.

Figure 1 – Long Section Sulphur Springs Deposit with Drill Hole Intersection Points

Incorporation of the recent drilling results has increased the total Indicated and Inferred Resource for the Sulphur Springs deposit to:

12.83 million tonnes grading 1.5% copper, 4.1% zinc, 0.2% lead and 17.6 g/t silver based on a cut-off grade of copper >0.4% or zinc >2%.

Venturex Managing Director Michael Mulroney said: “This increase in the Sulphur Springs Mineral Resource is an excellent result with further upside possible. We anticipate that this will provide a strong basis for a higher conversion resource to reserve rate for the Sulphur Springs deposit as part of the current Feasibility Study. This would be an excellent outcome and would confirm the long term potential and value of the Pilbara CopperZinc Project.

About Venturex Resources Limited

Venturex Resources Limited (ASX: VXR) is an exploration and development company with a significant portfolio of VMS projects in the Western Pilbara. Venturex owns or controls significant resources of copper, zinc, lead, silver and gold at Sulphur Springs, Kangaroo Caves, Whim Creek, Mons Cupri, Salt Creek and Liberty ‐ Indee. The Company is committed to a strategy of consolidating VMS projects in the Western Pilbara and developing a centralised processing hub at Sulphur Springs. Venturex is also exploring for gold in Brazil through its wholly owned subsidiary CMG Mineração Ltda.

RESOURCE ESTIMATION PARAMETERS RESOURCE ESTIMATION PARAMETERS
**Sulphur Springs **
Tenements M45/494
Geology Archaean polymetallic (Cu, Zn, Pb, Ag, Au) VMS deposits hosted by volcanogenic sediments.
Twoprincipal styles of mineralisation: stratabound massive sulphide and stringer/feeder.
Drilling
Techniques
Diamond & RC. Diamond core size is HQ and NQ. Core recovery generally excellent. Core
orientations where possible. Hole intersections points generally spaced 15 – 50 metres, with
the majority less than 20 metres. Down hole orientation information is mainly from 30 metres-
spaced single shots with some gyro. Hole orientation is 30 – 90 degrees to the stratiform
component of the ore zones.
Logging and
Photography
Geological logging is sufficient and representative across the deposits. Wet core
photographs have been taken of holes drilled mainlyin the last 6years.
Sampling
Technique
Approximately 50% diamond core and 50% RC chips. Core samples are generally <1.5
metres. Recent RC samples aregenerally1m splits.
Sample
Preparation and
Assay
Techniques
Recent samples were analysed at Ultra Trace and ALS Laboratories, Perth, WA. Samples were
dried, crushed, split with a riffle splitter and pulverized. Analysis is by 4 acid digest with Ag, Cu,
Zn, Pb determined by ICP-AES and Au determined by 30gm fire assay with AA finish.
Database &
QAQC
DataShed was used for drill hole and sample data storage and validation. 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.
Interpretation Geological confidence is high for the main high grade stratabound lenses. Wireframes were
interpreted by using a 2% Cu cut-off and 5% Zn cut-off for high grade domains. Low grade
domains were determined using a 0.03% Cu cut-off. Cut-off's were determined
geostatistically.
Dimensions Two massive sulphide lenses (East and West) have been identified by drilling. The East Lens has
a long axis length of approximately 150 metres, a vertical extent of 300 metres and plunges to
the north at approximately 50 degrees. The larger West Lens has a long axis length of at least
300 metres, a vertical extent of 300 metres and plunges to the north at approximately 50
degrees. The maximum true width is approximately 30 metres with an average true width of
approximately10 metres.
Estimation &
Modelling
Techniques
Vulcan software used. Parent cell measures 20 metres (X axis), 20 metres (Y) and 10 metres
(Z) with sub-cells of 5 metres (X), 2 metres (Y), 2 metres (Z), appropriate given an average drill
spacing of 20-30 metres. The estimation was performed using ordinary kriging. Search ellipse
parameters determined using variography. No top cuts were used. The estimations were
validated against original composite grades. Oxide ore was not estimated. Hard boundaries
were used between domains. Minimum samples per estimate are 1. Maximum samples per
estimate are 20. Discretisation was set to 5(Y)X 5(X)X 2(Z).
Moisture Tonnages are estimated on a drybasis. Moisture content in ore is expected to be verylow.
Bulk Density A very high proportion of the assayed samples also have a bulk density measurement. During
2000 and 2001, every sample submitted for assay had a density determination made on site.
This was also the case during the Sipa programs from hole SSD013 onwards. Overall,
approximately 79% of assayed samples in the sulphide lenses had a measured density value.
This is adequate to support interpolation of density into resource models. Density
measurements were made on site by the classical water immersion method, using the total
cut core for each sample.
Classification Classifications into Inferred, Indicated and Measured categories are based on a combination
of average weighted distance from sample points, variography, drill density and geological
confidence.
