FURTHER EXCEPTIONAL COPPER AND ZINC INTERCEPTS AT SULPHUR SPRINGS

High-grade results including 63m @ 1.88% Cu and 6m @ 15.10% Zn

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Outstanding high-grade copper and zinc results returned in SSR008:

  • 63m @ 1.89% Cu from 45m, including

    • 21m @ 2.82% Cu, including 5m @ 5.43% Cu
  • 10m @ 10.78% Zn, including 6m @ 15.10% Zn

  • Greenfields exploration drilling program continuing at Breakers Prospect

Australian base metal developer Venturex Resources Ltd (“Venturex” or “the Company”) (ASX: VXR) is pleased to announce further exceptional results from the recent drilling programme at its 100%-owned Sulphur Springs Copper-Zinc Project, 144km south of Port Hedland in WA.

Drill hole SSR008, the second hole in the programme, has returned an outstanding intercept of high-grade copper mineralisation, along with an additional zone of high-grade zinc mineralisation. SSR008 assay results include:

o 63m @ 1.89% Cu from 45m

  • Including Supergene zone of 21m @ 2.82% Cu from 45m

  • Including an outstanding high-grade interval of 5m @ 5.43% Cu from 45m

  • 10m @ 10.78% Zn from 74m

  • Including an outstanding high-grade interval of 6m @ 15.10% Zn from 76m

SSR008 was drilled through the weathered siliceous hanging wall sequence to a down-hole depth of 44m. Below this, a significant intercept totalling 47m of massive and semi-massive sulphides (from 44 to 91m down-hole) was intersected with visible chalcocite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite evident within the pyrite host.

The hole terminated at 108m within a felsic volcanic sequence containing up to 30% disseminated sulphide. As with SSR007, due to the challenging topography and restricted nature of access the drill-hole was designed on a non-conventional angle.

The grade and mineralogy intersected in both holes are consistent with proximal intercepts of a footwall copper feeder system to a volcanogenic massive sulphide. Limited drilling has been completed to the east of these drill-holes; this represents a further exploration opportunity for future drilling where additional high-grade zones similar that intersected in the current drilling are expected to continue.

The outstanding copper and zinc mineralisation intersected within SSR008 and SSR007 (see ASX release 18 June 2019) have exceeded the Company’s expectations and highlight the quality and size of the Sulphur Springs system. The completed programme was designed to test a section of the Inferred Supergene Resource located immediately east of the highly successful 2017 drilling programme (see ASX release 18 January 2018).

Figure 2: Sulphur Springs long-section with Inferred Supergene target zone

The third hole of programme SSR009, was designed to test a down hole electromagnetic (DHEM) plate identified in hole SSD106 located approximately 1.5km west of the Sulphur Springs Cu-Zn deposit ( see ASX announcement 13 August 2018 ). SSR009 intersected elevated Ni-Cr mineralisation, including 17m @ 0.66% Cr and 0.33% Ni from 199m within a strongly oxidised ultramafic unit. The highly elevated level of oxidation intersected at the target depth is intriguing and may represent a zone of chemical weathering associated with oxidised sulphide mineralisation.

Venturex’s Managing Director, AJ Saverimutto, said “ The high-grade copper, and now high-grade zinc mineralisation intersected within the current drilling programme is an exceptional result. This confirms both the tenor and grade of the mineralisation intersected in the first hole and further increases the geological confidence. We are also very excited about the Greenfields exploration drilling programme currently underway at the Breakers Prospect and look forward to seeing what this drilling can deliver”.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques

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.

Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.

Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report.

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.
RC drilling is being used to test the Sulphur Springs deposit. The company uses industry
standard practices to measure and sample the chips. A combination of 4-metre composite
and 1-metre split samples will be submitted to the laboratory for analysis

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.). _
Reverse Circulation drilling is completed using a standard 5.5inch diameter hammer.
Drill sample
recovery

Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed.

Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples.

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.
Sample condition, including estimated recovery and moisture content are recorded for each
sample by a geologist or technician. When poor sample recovery is encountered during
drilling, the geologist and driller have endeavoured to rectify the problem to ensure maximum
sample recovery. Sample recoveries at Sulphur Springs have been variable in places and
poorer sample recoveries encountered. Insufficient data is available at present to determine
if a relationship exists between recovery and grade.
Logging
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.

Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc.)
photography.

The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.
RC chips are geologically logged for the total length of the hole using a graphic logging
method. Logging routinely recorded weathering, lithology, mineralogy, mineralization,
structure, alteration and veining. Logs are coded using the company geological coding legend
and entered into the company database.
The following quantative descriptions are used when logging, amongst others:

Trace less than 1% sulphides.

Disseminated and stockwork 1-50% sulphides.

Semi-massive 50-70% sulphides.

Massive sulphidesgreater 70%.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.

If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether sampled wet or dry.

For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation
technique.

Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of
samples.

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.

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to thegrain size of the material being sampled.
RC cuttings are split using a rig-mounted cone splitter and the one metre samples from the
mineralised zone are individually submitted for assay. Four-metre composite samples are
taken using a PVC tube through the hanging-wall sequence; the one metre composite
samples returning anomalous values will be submitted to elucidate the mineralisation. Field
duplicated are taken every 10 samples within mineralisation.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Quality of assay
data and
laboratory tests

The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and
whether the technique is considered partial or total.

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.

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.
Samples from the current drilling programme were assayed by Australian Laboratory Services
Pty. Ltd. Composite and one metre RC samples were prepared and analysed by the following
methods: Samples weighed, crushed and pulverised with the coarse residue retained in
vacuum seal bags. Ag, As, Bi, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, S and Zn analysed by
method ME-OG62 or ME-MS61 and Au by fire assay method Au-AA25 or AA23. The company
included certified reference material and blanks with the samples submitted.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying

The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company
personnel.

The use of twinned holes.

Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical
and electronic) protocols.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
The significant intersections reported have been prepared by geologists with relevant VMS
experience. No twinned holes have been drilled. The company uses standard templates
created in Excel to collate sample intervals, drill collar, downhole survey information which
are emailed to the company main office were the information is loaded into a database.
Geological descriptions are recorded in long hand prior to being summarised for digital data
capture.
Location of data
points

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys),
trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.

Specification of the grid system used.

Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
Drill hole collars were located using a handheld GPS operated by company personnel. Drill
holes are down-hole surveyed by a gyro at the end of hole.
Data spacing and
distribution

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.

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.

Whether sample compositing has been applied.
Data/drill hole spacing is variable and appropriate to the geology and historical drilling. 4-
metre sample compositing has been applied to RC drilling within the hanging-wall sequence
for gold and multi-element assay.
Orientation of
data in relation to
geological
structure

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the
extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type.

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.
Drill holes are designed to test the Sulphur Springs orebody which plunges at ~40-50 degrees
to the north. Due to restricted access and topography SSR008 was drilled at an angle -70 to
an azimuth of 000 degrees. The drill holes have been designed to test near surface potential
of sulphide mineralisation amenable to mining by open pit methods and are considered
appropriate for the geometry of the deposit.
Sample security
The measures taken to ensure sample security.
The chain of custody is managed by the on-site geologist who places calico sample bags in
polyweave sacks. Up to 5 calico sample bags are placed in each sack. Each sack is clearly
labelled with:

Venturex Resources

Address of Laboratory
Detailed records are kept of all samples that are dispatched, including details of chain of
custody.
Audits or reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data.
No reviews have been undertaken.

by other parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.
Previous exploration has been undertaken by a number of parties going back over 30 years.
Modern exploration has been undertaken by Sipa Resources, CBH Resources, Homestake
Mining, andVenturex Resources.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.
The Sulphur Springs deposit and associated target prospects are related to Volcanogenic
Massive Sulphide systems.
Drill hole
Information

A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including
a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes:

easting and northing of the drill hole collar

elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar

dip and azimuth of the hole

down hole length and interception depth

hole length.

If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material
and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person
should clearly explain why this is the case.
Details of the drill holes are provided in Table 1 within the body of this report.
Data aggregation
methods

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.

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.

The assumptions usedfor any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.
Results reported in this release relate to visual observations of drill core, specifically the
identification of common sulphide minerals. No estimate of grade or concentration of the
minerals is provided. No length weighting or top - cuts have been applied. Any zones of core
loss or cavity are assigned a grade of zero.
Results reported are determined by ALS Laboratories using method ME-OG 62 (SSR008),
ME-MS61 (SSR009) and fire assay AuAA25 (SSR008), AyAA-23 (SSR009).
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths

These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results.

If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature
should be reported.

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’).
The Sulphur Springs deposit plunges 40-50 degrees to the north; the drill holes are designed
to intersect the orebody at a nominal 60 degrees, however the local access and topography
required SSR008 to be designed taking these limitations into consideration to intersect the
mineralisation. No know geometry is known for the geology at SSR009. Only down hole
intersections are reported.
Diagrams
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 cross-sections and plans within this announcement
Balanced
reporting

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.
