Well Defined IP Drill Targets at Mons Cupri

Potential extensions to mineralisation at Mons Cupri and Mons Cupri North West pits and potential new zone of mineralisation identified by IP survey and detailed mapping

Highlights

  • Three high priority drill targets identified following detailed analysis of data from recent successful IP survey

  • Targets include potential direct extensions of the known high‐grade VMS mineralisation at Mons Cupri and a potential repeat of Mons Cupri to the south of the historical Mons Cupri open pits

  • Drilling of these outstanding new targets planned for the current quarter

  • Additional targets identified to the east and north of the Mons Cupri open pits

Venturex Resources (ASX: VXR "Venturex" and the "Company") is pleased to advise that it has generated three well defined drill targets with potential to extend known VMS mineralisation at the at the Mons Cupri deposit, part of its 100% owned Whim Creek Copper Zinc Project , located 115km to the south‐ west of Port Hedland in Western Australia.

The high quality targets were generated by the compilation of a new geological model, re‐evaluation of historical drilling results, detailed geological mapping of the Mons Cupri open pits and surrounding area that identified the main structural and stratigraphic controls of the mineralisation (see ASX Release – 17 May 2016) and analysis of the IP survey results which represent potential extensions to or repetitions of the Mons Cupri mineralised system.

The identification of these targets, which stems from the back‐to‐basics re‐ evaluation of the exploration potential of Whim Creek, is the latest step in the Company's efforts to identify near‐term production opportunities at Whim Creek that are viable at spot metal prices.

A new geological model of the Mons Cupri mineralisation based on a re‐ interpretation of the metal zonation in the deposit has been developed by Venturex’s geological team. The high grade massive zinc mineralisation sitting above a zone of high grade stringer copper‐gold sulphide mineralisation observed in drilling completed by the Company during 2010 – 2012 is typical of volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) style deposits (see Figure 1 and ASX Announcement – 30 June 2010).

Some of the more significant historical intersections include:

MCR001 40 to 45 m
5m at 4.7% Zn and 1.1% Cu
45 to 65 m 20m at 0.3% Zn and 2.95% Cu
MCR005 48 to 53 m 5m at 10.8% Zn, 2.7% Cu and 1.2 g/t Au
53 to 63 m
10m at 0.9% Zn, 4.1% Cu and 1 g/t Au
MCD001 33 to 43 m 10m at 4.1% Zn, 4.6% Cu and 3.6 g/t Au
43 to 58 m 15m at 0.3% Zn, 4.0% Cu and 2.1 g/t Au
MCR010 33 to 40 m 7m at 7.3% Zn, 1.0% Cu and 0.4 g/t Au
40 to 48 m 8m at 0.4% Zn, 3.6% Cu and 0.3 g/t Au

Venturex is targeting extensions of this high grade mineralisation.

Recent petrophysical testing conducted by Venturex indicates that the copper stringer zone (see Figure 1) would have a strong geophysical response and would act as a vector toward the high grade massive zinc and high grade stringer copper‐gold mineralisation sitting above it. The chargeability achieved in the IP survey appears to confirm this.

A plan view showing the simplified Mons Cupri geology and the multiple targets that have been generated is shown in Figure 2 and an isometric view of the IP stacked sections demonstrating the continuity of the chargeability anomalies is shown in Figure 3. The Company believes that these anomalies are related to copper stringer style mineralisation.

Ranking of the targets has identified three priority drill targets of primary interest:

  • Possible extensions along the inferred strike of the structures controlling high grade massive zinc and associated high grade stringer copper‐gold sulphide mineralisation in the existing Resources to the west and down‐plunge of both the Mons Cupri and Mons Cupri North West open pits ( Drill Targets 1 and 2 in Figure 2 , IP Profile in Figure 4); and

  • A possible new VMS system 1 km south of the Mons Cupri open pits. This target has a chargeability anomaly over two lines close to the top of the Cistern Formation, where the high grade sulphide mineralisation is observed in drilling around the Mons Cupri open pits (Drill Target 3 in Figure 3, IP Profile in Figure 5).

Other targets of interest include a continuous chargeability anomaly stretching east of the Mons Cupri deposit, which is likely to represent an extension of the controlling structure to the Mons Cupri mineralisation and would be prospective for high grade stringer copper mineralisation deep in the feeder structure (IP Profile in Figure 5).

This work has continued to reinforce the significant untapped exploration potential for the broader Whim Creek Project, which includes the Mons Cupri, Whim Creek, Evelyn and Salt Creek copper‐zinc‐ lead and precious metal Resources, together with 18,500 hectares of tenements covering the Whim Creek, Salt Creek and Liberty VMS basins.

Venturex's Managing Director John Nitschke said: “Not only has the systematic exploration work carried out over the past six months identified standout drill targets that have the potential to both extend the high grade massive zinc and associated high grade stringer copper‐gold sulphides already contained in the Mons Cupri Resource and delineate new areas of mineralisation, we now also have a greatly enhanced understanding of the underlying geological architecture of the broader mineralisation events at Mons Cupri.

“All of the 70,000 tonnes of copper mined at Whim Creek over the past 100 years has come from copper oxide ores that outcropped on the surface. We now have a clear roadmap that we can use to unlock the sulphide resource potential of this highly prospective area," he added.

“The gold assays observed in the high grade stringer copper mineralisation in what is the core of the VMS system are of particular interest,” Mr Nitschke added.

“We plan to drill these targets during the current quarter with the clear objective of extending the existing Resource base with mineralisation that is economic at spot metal prices."

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria

JORC Code explanation
Commentary
Sampling
techniques
1. Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised
industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation,
such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.). These
examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
2. Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.
3. Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report.
4. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple
(e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation
may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may
warrant disclosure of detailed information.
Ground IP Survey
Zonge Research and Engineering Organisation Pty Ltd (Zonge) were contracted
to conduct the ground IP survey. Equipment and sampling techniques
employed by the survey are listed as follows:
Equipment
GDD Receiver (16 Channel)
2XGDD Txll slaved high voltage transmitters – 10 kva
Specifications
100m dipole spacing - receiver – transmitter
200m line spacing
2D in-line/collinear configuration
0.125Hz Base frequency
Average Current approx. 4-5 amps
Historical Drilling
A number of generations of drilling have been undertaken on the Mons Cupri
Deposit since the 1960s. The drilling results detailed in this report were based
on drilling undertaken by Venturex Resources between 2010-2011 and reported
under JORC 2004 reported standard to the Australian Stock Exchange during
2010-2011.
Drilling
techniques
5. Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger,
Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of
diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by
what method, etc.).
Historical Drilling
MCR Series Drilling was undertaken using an industry standard 5.5 inch face
sampling hammer
MCD Series Drilling was undertaken using NQ2 sized core bit.

Drill sample
recovery
6. Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results
assessed.
7. Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the
samples.
8. Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample
bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
Historical Drilling
MCR Series Drilling: RC samples were collected to industry standards of the
day. The locations of intervals of damp or wet samples or low recovery were
recorded and entered into the database. The cyclone and splitter were routinely
inspected and cleaned during the drilling ensuring no excessive material build-
up. Care was taken to ensure the split samples were of a consistent volume.
There is no detected or material bias or relationships of sample recovery and
grade.
MCD Series Drilling: All operators recorded diamond drill core recovery as a
percentage of measured recovered cores versus drilled distance. Recoveries
were generally high except for cavity zones in the oxide zone.
Logging 9. Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a
level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.
10. Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc.)
photography.
11. The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.
Historical Drilling
MCR Series: RC drill holes were geological logged using a Company standard
logging legend. All holes were logged at one metre interval taking a sample
from the bulk sample bag. One metre samples were stored in a chip tray for
future reference.
MCD Series: Diamond drill holes were geologically logged in their entirety and
photographed. Diamond drilling was logged for geotechnical purposes.
Logging was at an appropriate detailed quantitative standard to support future
geological, resource, reserve estimations and technical/economic studies.
All holes were logged in full.

Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation
12. If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.
13. If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether sampled wet or
dry.
14. For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation
technique.
15. Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples.
16. Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material
collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling.
17. Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled.
Historical Drilling
MCD Series: Diamond core was sawn with a diamond saw and half core
samples taken for assay.
MCR Series: 1 metre RC samples were collected and split off the drill rig using
a cone splitter. Approximately 90% of the samples were dry in nature.
The sampling techniques for collection of the sample to be submitted to the
assay facility for both diamond drilling and RC drilling are of consistent quality
and appropriate.
During drilling and sampling operations Venturex had on site, technically
competent supervision and procedures in place to ensure sample preparation
integrity and quality.
Some field duplicates were taken for RC drilling but not for diamond drilled
samples.
The sample sizes are considered appropriate given the relatively fine grained
nature of the sulphide mineralisation which is not nuggetty in nature, the
sampling methodology and the percent assay value ranges involved.
Quality of assay
data and
laboratory tests
18. The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures
used and whether the technique is considered partial or total.
19. For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc., the parameters
used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times,
calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.
20. Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates,
external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias)
and precision have been established.
Historical Drilling
For the majority of both diamond and RC drilling Venturex has used Ultratrace
Laboratories Pty Ltd (ALS). ALS has been used for the analysis of one batch of
samples.
Analytical techniques involve either a three or a four acid digest with a multi-
element suite.
MCR Series:
Ultratrace analysed elements Ag, Cu, Cr, Pb, Zn. Ag, Pb by ICPMS. Cu, Zn, Cr
by ICPOES.
ALS Laboratories Perth - elements analysed Ag, Au, Cu, Pb, Zn. Au by Fire
assay with an AAS finish. Ag, Cu, Pb, Zn four acid digestion ICPES.

21. The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative
company personnel.
22. The use of twinned holes.
23. Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage
(physical and electronic) protocols.
24. Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
The drill intersections reported in this announcement are based on the the results
previously reported in the company’s June 2010 and August 2010
announcements to the ASX. A competent person recalculated the results from
the database records for this announcement under the auspices of the Competent
Person.
No specific twinned holes have been drilled.
Data recording used a set of standard Excel templates on a data logger and
uploaded to note book computer. The data were sent to the Perth office for
verification and compilation into an SQL database by the in-house database
administrator. Full copies are stored offsite. Full database verification of all
historical information has been completed by the company.

surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource
estimation.
26. Specification of the grid system used.
27. Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
Ground IP Survey
Transmitter and receiver stations were laid out by Whelan’s Surveys of Port
Hedland using a DGPS. The IP crew took a GPS reading of each site allowing
for adjustments as a result of local topography during the survey.

Commentary
Historical Drilling
The collar positions of both the MCR and MCD series drilling were surveyed
using a DGPS unit owned by the company with an accuracy of 0.1cm.
Downhole surveys were performed on all holes by either single shot Eastman™
camera or Reflex™ gyro readings at 10-50 metre down whole intervals.
The grid system used for the location of all drill holes is MGA_GDA94, Zone
50.
Topographic control is provided by combination of external survey control,
photogrammetry analysis and DGPS reading.
Data spacing and
distribution
28. Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.
29. Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of
geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve
estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.
30. Whether sample compositing has been applied.
Ground IP Survey
The IP survey lines around the Mons Cupri and Northwest pits have been
positioned to fit around disturbances caused by mining and are not perpendicular
to the assumed strike of the stringer mineralisation. Away from the mine areas
the lines are perpendicular to the assumed strike of the stringer mineralisation.
Historical Drilling
The MCR and MCD drilling was planned to infill existing pre 2010 drilling.
Due to access for drill sites, drilling patterns vary from nominally 40m by 40m
to 30m by 30m in the plane of the mineralisation.
The current spacing is adequate to assume geological and grade continuity of the
mineralised domain to an Indicated and Inferred resource level.

==> picture [137 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Orientation of
data in relation to
geological
structure
31. Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures
and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type.
32. If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised
structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed
and reported if material.
Ground IP Survey
The lines around the Mons Cupri and Mons Cupri Northwest pits are not
perpendicular to the assumed strike of the deposit and could introduce a bias
with respect to the magnitude and position of the anomalies which will have to
be taken into account when interpreting the data. The IP technique is not
suitable to detect massive sulphide mineralisation and the survey has been
planned to detect stringer mineralisation that will act as a pathfinder for massive
sulphides.
Historical Drilling
Limitations imposed by the rugged terrain dictate that some drilling is conducted
at angles not perpendicular to the dip of the mineralised system.
The massive sulphide body above the stringer mineralisation strike
approximately NW-SE and dips 25 deg to the SW. The stringer mineralisation
strikes approximately EW and dips 85 deg to the north. Depending on the
orientation of the drill hole it may intersect one style of mineralisation and not
the other which will introduce a bias to the interpretation.
Sample security 33. The measures taken to ensure sample security. The IP data is collated electronically in the field, and sent electronically via
email to Zonge head office for QA/QC and verification before being emailed to
Southern Geoscience Consulting for processing and interpretation.
For the drill samples the chain of custody is managed by Venturex. The samples
are transported by Venturex personnel to Whim Creek, stored in a secure facility
and collected from site by Toll IPEC and delivered to the assay laboratory in
Perth. Online tracking is utilised to track the progress of batches of samples.
Audits or reviews 34. The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. No independent audits have been undertaken.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Mineral tenement
and land tenure
status
35. Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or
material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding
royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and
environmental settings.
36. The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known
impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area.
The Mons Cupri Deposit is located within M47/238, the registered owner of the
tenement is Venturex Pilbara Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Venturex
Resources Ltd.
The tenement is within land where native title has been determined. The
traditional owners of the land are the Ngarluma People. The grant of the
tenement predates native title, and is not subject to native title claim; however
the company has a mining agreement in place with the Ngarluma People that
sets out a relationship between the two parties.
There are no royalties over the tenement.
The tenement is a granted Mining Lease, is in good standing and no known
impediments exist.
Exploration done
by other parties
37. Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. Previous exploration and mining has been undertaken by a number of parties
going back over 90 years. Modern exploration and mining has been undertaken
by Texasgulf Australia Pty Ltd, Whim Creek Consolidated Pty Ltd, Dominion
Mining Ltd and Straits Resources Ltd.
Geology 38. Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. The Mons Cupri Deposit is located with the Archaean Whim Creek Basin, a
sequence of intermediate to felsic volcanic, volcanoclastic and sedimentary
units. The deposit is classed as a volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit.
Massive sulphide and stringer sulphide mineralisation has been deposited at the
top of the Cistern Formation which comprises a thick sequence of volcanogenic
conglomerate/breccia with minor sandstone and shale units. The Cistern
Formation is overlain by the Rushall Shale Formation.

Data aggregation
methods
46. In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or
minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually
Material and should be stated.
47. Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer
lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated
and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail.
48. The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly
stated.

Anomalies reported in this announcement have been determined on processed
field data.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
All reported assays have been length weighted.
No top cut has been applied.
For reporting exploration drill results in this announcement a 1% Copper or 2%
lower cut off for Zinc was used and up to 2 metres of internal dilution,. No
metal equivalent vales are reported.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths
49. These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results.
50. If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its
nature should be reported.
51. If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear
statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’).
Previous reports highlight down hole intercept and widths.
Diagrams 52. Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be
included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be
limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.
See plan and cross section attached to the report
Balanced
reporting
53. Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced
to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.
All representative results have been reported or publically released.
Other substantive
exploration data
54. Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not
limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey
results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk
density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or
contaminating substances.
The Mons Cupri Deposit has had a significant body of work completed on it,
including geophysical studies, metallurgical test work, geotechnical and ground
water studies. The current IP survey was planned after recently completing
petrophysical test work on drill core indicating that modern IP techniques would
be successful in delineating stringer mineralisation. The last IP survey over the
deposit was completed in 1968 and was only capable of reading to
approximately 40 m depth. The current survey appears to read to a depth of 250
-300m.
Further work 55. The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth
extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).
56. Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main
geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not
commercially sensitive
The IP results reported are from the completed program and the resultant data
has been fully processed and pseudo 3D modelling undertaken. This work hasl
refined the location and depth of the preliminary anomalies allowing for more
precise interpretation and drill targeting.
