Stefan Gawlinski joins Venturex’s exploration team
Venturex Resources Limited (ASX: VXR) is pleased to announce that it has retained the services of highly experienced mining and exploration geologist and former senior Oxiana/MMG exploration executive, Stefan Gawlinski, to work with its exploration team.
Mr Gawlinski commenced as Senior Exploration Geologist at the Golden Grove Operations in the Yilgarn region in 1994 and, after a break, returned as Geology Manager in 2009.
Golden Grove is a classic Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) system and, in his time there, Mr Gawlinski led the exploration teams that discovered the Hougoumont, Catalpa, Ethel, Xantho and Amity zones below the Gossan Hill deposit and Cervantes below the Scuddles deposit. These discoveries resulted in the total resource base at Golden Grove actually increasing over the 25 years that it has been in operation.
Most recently, Mr Gawlinski directed the highly successful exploration programs on the tenements to the south of Golden Grove that discovered the Gossan Valley, Felix and Flying Hi Resources.
Mr Gawlinski will join the existing Venturex exploration team of James Guy and Reg Beaton. Mr Guy has worked with Venturex over the past 18 months compiling and collating the extensive and diverse historical databases for both the Sulphur Springs and Whim Creek VMS projects, and has driven the revitalisation of the Company’s exploration program.
Mr Beaton was part of the Jabiru Metals team that applied a systematic exploration strategy which resulted in the discovery of the highgrade Bentley zinc-copper-gold-silver VMS resource, 5km south of the Jaguar mine.
Venturex’s Managing Director, Mr John Nitschke, said he was pleased to have been able to secure someone of Mr Gawlinski’s calibre to work with the Company’s in-house exploration team.
“This is a significant coup for Venturex, and we now have a team with extensive experience and exploration capability in VMS systems including a proven track record in discovering and proving up resources. I am sure that they will be successful in extending the already significant resource base of the two VMS provinces centred on our Sulphur Springs and Whim Creek Projects,” he said.
”Our immediate focus is on increasing the tonnage and/or grade of the existing sulphide resource inventory at Whim Creek, where we already have Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources totalling 6.6 million tonnes grading 1.3% Cu, 2.1% Zn, 0.7% Pb, 26.3g/t Ag and 0.15g/t Au (refer ASX announcement – 8 October 2013).
“Whim Creek is a brownfields site with extensive infrastructure already in place which means that any exploration success will very quickly lead to production from sulphide resources.”

“This would be in addition to the existing Blackrock Heap Leach SX/EW operation that is already treating heap leachable oxide and transition resources.”
