New phase of VMS exploration commences at Sulphur Springs as Venturex progresses permitting and pre-development activities at advanced copper-zinc project

Highlights:

  • Drilling programme underway to test priority EM targets at Sulphur Springs.

  • Heritage survey completed to increase cleared heritage footprint.

  • Mining Proposal Approval received for construction of surface infrastructure.

  • Whim Creek Earn-in and Joint Venture Agreement executed.

SULPHUR SPRINGS COPPER-ZINC PROJECT

Venturex’s flagship Sulphur Springs Project is located 112km south-east of Port Hedland and includes the proposed Sulphur Springs and Kangaroo Caves mines, together with tenements covering ~27km of the Panorama trend that contains numerous advanced VMS-style exploration targets. The Sulphur Springs Project hosts a total Mineral Resource (Sulphur Springs + Kangaroo Caves) comprising 17.4 million tonnes grading 1.3% copper, 4.2% zinc and 17g/t silver (refer ASX announcements, 22 September 2015 and 21 March 2018).

Environmental Approvals

Secondary approvals and permits necessary for the implementation of the Sulphur Springs Project were progressed during the quarter following the announcement of approval for the Project by the WA Minister for the Environment on 20 May 2020.

An application to amend an existing groundwater licence to allow increased abstraction and additional uses of groundwater was submitted to the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation in September. Preparation of a Project Management Plan required to be approved by the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) was also advanced.

A Mining Proposal for the construction of the access road to the mine-site was lodged with the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) in June 2020 and approval was received on the 19[th] October 2020.

Heritage Survey

An indigenous cultural heritage survey was successfully completed in collaboration with Traditional Owners, the Nyamal People, in August increasing the cleared heritage footprint including the location of the relocated Tailings Storage Facility. The survey also cleared several possible future exploration areas.

Project Development

The Company is progressing project implementation and development strategies through engagement with potential contractors for site works including short-listing and tender preparation.

Several optimisation opportunities have been identified that will add value in terms of both project development and operations. These will be implemented as the Company develops the Sulphur Springs Project.

EXPLORATION

The planned Reverse-Circulation (RC) exploration drilling programme at the Sulphur Springs Project, previously forecast to commence in September, began on 21 October following an unavoidable delay due to the drilling contractor’s availability.

The programme is designed to follow-up on the exceptional results generated from 2019 drilling at the advanced Breakers Prospect (see ASX release 4 September 2019), as well as to test the Heli-borne Electromagnetic (HEM) target XA8, where previous drilling intersected anomalous Ni-Cr mineralisation.

During the quarter, exploration geophysical surveys were also completed at the Evelyn and Salt Creek prospects within the Whim Creek Project. The geophysical programmes were designed to test the along strike prospectivity of the Evelyn and Salt Creek Resources.

At the Evelyn Prospect, a ground-based Fixed Loop Electro Magnetic (FLTEM) survey was completed across an area located approximately 2km north of the Evelyn Deposit. The programme was designed to test a section of stratigraphy that was identified as being highly prospective based on its stratigraphic position and structural setting.

Despite its location immediately north of the Evelyn Deposit, this area has had only limited historical exploration.

The survey successfully identified a moderate ~300m long, discrete bedrock conductor at a depth of 150-200m. The anomaly is interpreted to be hosted within the same mafic schist as the Evelyn Cu-Zn deposit, located approximately 2km to the south along strike.

Due to the geological setting of the anomaly, the Company considers it as a target for structurally controlled gold and or base-metal mineralisation and intends to drill this target once exploration recommences at the Whim Creek Project in 2021 following the Pilbara wet season.

A Sub-Audio Magnetics (SAM) survey was also completed 2.5km east along strike from the Salt Creek Resource during the quarter. Results for this survey are pending.

WHIM CREEK OPERATIONS

Care and maintenance activities continue on site. PPM Global Pty Ltd has been contracted to manage the site and is assisting the Company to ensure compliance with the Environmental Protection Notice (“EPN”) commitments.

The Company is working on EPN remediation measures and has submitted all required management plans to DWER (“Department of Water and Environmental Regulation”). Site activities will be completed in a timely manner to ensure that the Company meets its obligations under the EPN.

On the 21[st] of July 2020, Venturex executed a binding Earn-In and Joint Venture agreement with ASX listed Anax Metals Limited (formerly Aurora Minerals Limited) to acquire up to an 80% interest in the Whim Creek Project.
