VENTUREX RECEIVES NET PROFIT INTEREST PAYMENT FROM WHIM CREEK

Funds contribute towards Optimisation Study on Pilbara Cu-Zn Project

  • Net Profit Interest payment of $210,000 received for September 2015 Quarter

  • Copper production at Whim Creek stabilised

  • Optimisation work on Pilbara Copper Zinc Project being finalised

Venturex Resources Limited (ASX: VXR) (Venturex) is pleased to advise that it has received a Net Profit Interest payment of $210,000 from Blackrock Metals Pty Ltd (“Blackrock”) for the September 2015 Quarter under the agreement signed in March covering Blackrock’s heap leach operation.

Under this agreement, Blackrock has had access to the existing Whim Creek oxide copper processing site where it is re-processing material from the existing heap leach pads to recover copper metal through a refurbished 5 tonne per day (tpd) SX-EW treatment facility.

In return Blackrock is required to pay Venturex a fee based on the calculation of a 15% Net Profit Interest (“NPI”) .

Production of copper cathode at the Whim Creek heap leach operation has continued at the nameplate capacity of the plant, resulting in the production of 342 tonnes of copper cathode for the September 2015 Quarter (see Table 1).

The Managing Director of Venturex John Nitschke said the agreement with Blackrock Metals, an experienced heap leach operator, was continuing to provide significant cash-flow.

“We are currently working with Blackrock to assess options to extend the life of the remnant leaching operation beyond its current term,” he said.

“The funds provided by the Net Profit Interest will contribute towards the cost of the Optimisation Study on our flagship Pilbara Copper-Zinc Project, which is currently in its final stages and due for release later this week.

“The Study has identified a number of opportunities to improve and optimise the economics of the Pilbara Copper-Zinc Project compared with the original 2012 Feasibility Study, including a reduction in capital costs, a rationalization of project infrastructure and a revised mining schedule.”
