Venturex Managing Director AJ Saverimutto said the completion of this successful capital raising against the backdrop of the current challenging market environment reflected the quality of the Sulphur Springs Project and the high level of investor and shareholder support for the Company’s development strategy.

“This is a very good result in a very challenging market,” he said.

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank both existing shareholders and the new investors who participated in the Placement and who are about to join our share register. I would also like to thank Northern Star for their strong and continued support for the project” Mr Saverimutto said.

“This capital raising puts Venturex in a very strong position moving into the New Year, with a full book of upcoming news-flow including final project approvals, project financing, development approval and the restart of exploration for 2019.

“Venturex is now poised to realise its objective of becoming a significant new mid-tier Australian base metals producer, and we are very much looking forward to what 2019 will bring for the Company.”
