Infill drilling designed to upgrade Inferred Resources to Indicated and extend known mineralisation in preparation for project funding

Venturex Resources (ASX: VXR) is pleased to advise that it has started a $10 million drilling program to de-risk and grow its Sulphur Springs copper-zinc project in the Pilbara.

Infill drilling is underway with the aim of upgrading the majority of the Inferred Resource to the Indicated Category. This will significantly de-risk the project, enabling Venturex to advance funding options.

Drilling will target both the open pit and underground resources at Sulphur Springs, which have a combined total Mineral Resource of 13.8 million tonnes grading 1.5% copper, 3.8% zinc and 17g/t silver (see Figure 1 below).

Venturex will also undertake a significant drilling program to test for extensions to the known resource and mineralisation boundaries, which remains open along strike and at depth (see Figure 1 below). This is the first-time exploration and extensional drilling has been conducted on the main deposit in 25 years.

The drilling programs are expected to culminate in a resource update in the June half of 2022. This new estimate will underpin Venturex’s strategy to secure project funding on the most favourable and competitive terms.

In parallel with the drilling, Venturex will continue to complete the remaining project approvals, which are also expected by the second half of 2022.

Venturex Managing Director Bill Beament said the multi-pronged strategy was designed to enable Sulphur Springs to be a bankable project by the end of 2022.

“We aim to grow and advance the project at the same time,” Mr Beament said. “This approach will maximise our ability to unlock its full value, bringing forward the time to production and cashflow while expanding the mining inventory.”

Venturex completed a Definitive Feasibility Study (see ASX announcement 10 October 2018) on the Sulphur Springs Project which demonstrated an economically robust project. Since then, the copper price has increased by ~50 per cent and zinc by ~15%.

Venturex will provide a wider corporate update, including a re-branding, at next week’s Diggers & Dealers investor forum.

Note. Totals may not balance due to rounding. The resource is reported at a cut-off grade of 0.4% copper and then less than 0.4% copper and greater than or equal to 2% zinc ( see ASX release 21 March 2018 & 22 September 2015 ).

The potential quantity and grade of exploration targets are conceptual in nature, and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in additions to the estimation of a Mineral Resource.
