New Massive Sulphide Intersection Extends Eastern Lode at Salt Creek

Highlights

  • Copper and zinc-bearing massive sulphides intersected over a width of 5.6 metres from 449.7m down-hole in diamond drill-hole 16VSCD007.

  • New intersection is 115m down-plunge of previous intersection (WSD130 10m at 6.6% Zn, 2.7% Cu, 58g/t Ag) – well outside current resource (1Mt at 7% Zn, 2% Cu, 2.1% Pb and 52g/t Ag).

  • Thick zone of strong to intense chlorite alteration associated with stringer iron, zinc, copper and lead sulphide mineralisation also observed over a down-hole width of 73 metres.

  • Coincidence of copper and zinc sulphides together with increasing width and intensity of alteration indicates the hole is closer to the mineralising event.

  • Diamond drill-hole 16VSCD008 is targeting a down-hole transient electromagnetic (DHTEM) plate representing a potential extension to the copper lode at Salt Creek currently in progress.

Venturex Resources Limited ( A SX: VXR "Venturex" and the "Company") is pleased to advise that it has m ade a strong start to a recently commenced program of follow-up diamond drilling at its 100%-owned Whim Creek ZincCopper Project , with the first h o le intersecting massive sulphides down-plunge of existing drilling and well outside the current Salt Creek resource.

The Whim Creek Project, loc a ted 115km south-west of Port Hedland in Western Australia, includes the W him Creek, Mons Cupri, Salt Creek and Evelyn deposits plus 18,500 hectares o f tenements covering the highly prospective Whim Creek basin. Total JO R C Resources within the Whim Creek Project currently stand at 7.2Mt at 2.3 % Zn and 1.3% Cu.

Salt Creek Deposit – Diamond Drilling

Venturex has completed the fir s t hole of the current round of diamond drilling at the Salt Creek deposit (1Mt a t 7.0% Zn, 2.0% Cu, 2.1% Pb and 52g/t Ag) refer ASX release 30 September 201 3 . This round of drilling is testing targets that represent potential down-plunge extensions to the known high grade zinc and copper mineralisation.

These targets were identified fr o m processing an historical geophysical dataset of down-hole magneto-metric r esistivity (DHMMR) and DHTEM surveys from drill holes in the Salt Creek d e posit, combined with the development of an updated structural model.

==> picture [152 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

The first hole, 16VSCD007, w a s designed to test a DHMMR plate which r e presents a down-plunge extension of the high grade zinc-lead-silver eastern lode at Salt Creek. The p i erce point of this hole is shown in Figure 1 and details of the hole are provided in Table 1 .

Hole 16VSCD007 intersected c o pper and zinc-bearing massive sulphides over a down-hole width of 5.6 metres from 449.7m down-hole to 455.3m. This intersection is 115 metres down-plunge from the previous deepest intersection of massive sulphides in the high grade zinc-lead - silver eastern lode at Salt Creek and confirms the down-pl u nge extension of this lode.

The massive sulphide zone is h osted in volcaniclastic siltstones and is envel o ped in strong to intense chlorite alteration associated w ith stringer iron, zinc, copper and lead sulp h ide mineralisation. The chlorite alteration zone extends from 407 metres to 480 metres down-hole, a to t al down-hole width of 73 metres. The intensity and widt h of the alteration zone is much greater than seen in shallower holes and appears to be increasing with d e pth.

The hole finished at a down-hol e depth of 582.5 metres in siltstones.

The hole has been cased for fol l ow-up by down-hole geophysical surveys to id e ntify potential extensions to the massive mineralisation. C ore from the hole will be cut and dispatched for assaying this week, with results expected in four weeks.

Drilling of the next hole, 16VSCD008, has commenced. This hole is targeti n g a DHTEM plate which represents a potential down-pl u nge extension of the copper sulphide rich mas s ive sulphides observed in the central lode at Salt Creek, w hich is located 100 metres to the west of hole 1 6VSCD007. The planned pierce point of this hole are sho w n in Figure 1.

The deepest intersection in the c opper lode to date is hole WSD128, which inte r sected 22 metres of 3.4% copper from 410 metres downh o le.

This hole is expected to reach target depth later this week.

Management Comment

Venturex’s Managing Director, M r John Nitschke, said the new drill program wa s off to a strong start with the first hole confirming a significant down-plunge extension of the high-grade Eastern Lode at Salt Creek.

“This is a significant hole in a nu m ber of respects. Apart from demonstrating a s i gnificant extension of the massive sulphides in the Easte r n Lode, the hole has given us a much greater insight into the zonation, orientation and controls on the m ineralisation.

“This is the first time we have o bserved copper and zinc sulphides together at S alt Creek. The width and intensity of alteration around th e intersection is also much higher than observed in shallower holes.

“Both of these indicate that w e are potentially getting closer to the mineralisi n g event at Salt Creek. If confirmed by subsequent drillin g , this could be a very exciting development fo r Salt Creek, opening up a significant opportunity to further increase the resource inventory,” he added.

About Venturex Resources Limited

Venturex Resources (ASX: VXR) is a rapidly growing Australian zinc company which is fo c used on the exploration and development of its two advanced zin c -copper projects located near Port Hedland in the pre m ier Pilbara mining province of Western Australia. After recently completing a $5 million capital raising, Venturex has embarked o n a major new drilling program aimed at further expanding its resou r ce inventory, which comprises more than 900,000t of contained zinc and 320,000t of contained copper.

Its initial exploration focus is on exten d ing the existing high-grade zinc, copper and lead resour c es at the Whim Creek Project, where it has identified a range of targ e ts adjacent to the Salt Creek and Mons Cupri deposits. Drilling commenced in late August and will continue through until the end of the year, generating strong ongoing news-flow. The su c cessful extension of the known Resources at Whim Creek will result i n a project that is compelling at spot prices. The existin g infrastructure at Whim Creek means that any such project could be p r oducing zinc, copper and lead concentrates during the firs t half of calendar 2018.

Venturex is continuing to progress pe r mitting and pre-development activities for its Sulphur S p rings Project, one of the most significant undeveloped zinc deposits i n Australia. On-going value engineering of the 2013 Feasibility Study has resulted in a potential low-risk copper-zinc project w ith attractive economics and a proposed low-CAPEX St a ge 1 development based on a near-surface high grade supergene cop p er zone.

Venturex also receives an ongoing income stream from a profit share in an SX/EW heap leach op e ration recovering copper from the heap leach dumps at Whim Creek . Venturex received $780,000 in FY2016 from 990,000t of copper metal production. This cash flow covers the bulk of the Company’s overheads and is expected to continue for the next 2- 3 years.

About Zinc

Zinc is a blue-grey metal which readil y forms alloys with metals including copper, aluminium a n d magnesium. Zinc is primarily used for its corrosion resistance in galvanising which accounts for approximately half of globa l zinc consumption. Galvanised materials (commonly iron and steel) a re used extensively in transport, construction and appl i ance manufacturing purposes. Metallic zinc is also used in dry cell batt e ries, die-casting, roof cladding and in the production of zi n c oxide.

Zinc demand is dominated by China at 6.9Mt or 49%. Global consumption is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 2% over 2016-2020, with the strongest demand growth co m ing from China at 2% and also the US and India. Followin g recent mine closures and this increasing demand growth, the curre n t zinc market is tight with declining global inventories a nd a supply deficit forecast in coming years. Zinc prices have respo n ded accordingly rallying above the top of the global mi n e cost curve. The concentrate market also reflects this supply tightne s s, with smelters materially discounting treatment charges.
