Lodgement

This Prospectus is dated 10 June 2021 and was lodged with ASIC on that date. None of ASIC, ASX or their respective officers take any responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus or the merits of the investment to which this Prospectus relates.

This Prospectus expires on 10 July 2022, the date which is 13 months after the Lodgement Date, and no New Securities will be issued on the basis of this Prospectus after that date.

This Prospectus is a 'transaction specific prospectus' for an offer of 'continuously quoted securities' (as defined in the Corporations Act) of the Company to which special content rules under section 713 of the Corporations Act (as notionally modified by ASIC Corporations (Non-Traditional Rights Issue) Instrument 2016/84 and ASIC Corporations (Disregarding Technical Relief) Instrument 2016/73) apply. Together these laws allow for the issue of a more concise prospectus in relation to an offer of securities in a class which has been continuously quoted by ASX in the 3 months prior to the date of the Prospectus. In general terms, 'transaction specific prospectuses' are only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of the New Securities on the Company and the rights attaching to the New Securities. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.

This Prospectus only contains information to the extent to which it is reasonable for investors and their professional advisers to expect to find the information in it. It does not include all of the information that would be included in an initial public offering prospectus.

Publicly available information about the Company is available on the ASX website at https://www2.asx.com.au/markets/company/VXR.

Note to all Eligible Shareholders

The information contained in this Prospectus is not financial product advice and does not take into account the investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs of any prospective investor. It is important that you read this Prospectus carefully and in full and consider all of the risks that could affect the performance of the Company. In considering the prospects of the Company, you should consider the risks that could affect the financial performance or position of the Company. You should carefully consider these risks in the light of your investment objectives, financial situation and particular needs (including financial and taxation issues) and seek

professional advice from your accountant, financial advisor, stockbroker, lawyer or other professional adviser. Risks which should be considered by prospective investors are set out in section 4 of this Prospectus. There may be additional risk factors specific to your personal circumstances.

No person named in this Prospectus, nor any other person, guarantees the performance of the Company, the repayment of capital by the Company or the payment of a return on the New Securities.

Rights to acquire New Shares and New Options under the Entitlement Offer are not transferrable.

Investors should also be aware that certain financial data included in this Prospectus may be 'non-IFRS financial information' under Regulatory Guide 230 Disclosing non-IFRS financial information published by ASIC and 'non-GAAP financial measures' under Regulation G of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The disclosure of such non-GAAP financial measures in the manner included in this Prospectus would not be permissible in a registration statement under the US Securities Act. The Company believes this non-IFRS financial information provides, and these non-GAAP financial measures provide, useful information to users in measuring the financial performance and condition of the Company. The non-IFRS financial information and these non-GAAP financial measures do not have a standardised meaning prescribed by Australian Accounting Standards and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other entities, nor should they be construed as an alternative to other financial measures determined in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards.

Chairman's letter

10 June 2021

Dear Eligible Shareholder

On 24 February, Venturex Resources Limited (Company or Venturex) announced an extensive recapitalisation plan to advance the funding and development of our flagship Sulphur Springs copperzinc project in Western Australia’s Pilbara region.

Underpinned by a high-quality Resource and Reserve supporting an initial 10-year mine life with exceptional exploration upside, Sulphur Springs is one of the few development-ready base metal assets worldwide. Its Tier-1 location and completed feasibility study with compelling economics mean that Venturex is perfectly poised to secure financing and advance towards development of the Sulphur Springs Project, taking advantage of the positive outlook for clean-energy metals over the coming decade.

The proposal outlined in February will see an accomplished new management team, led by Bill Beament, with a strong track record of success in the international mining industry join the Company. Coupled with a comprehensive strategic funding package, this will allow the Company to advance Sulphur Springs rapidly towards a Final Investment Decision.

In order to assist you to digest this extensive package of information, I have taken the opportunity to summarise the background to the key matters relevant to the Offer:

  1. The recapitalisation proposal is being led by Bill Beament, one of Australia’s most successful mining executives, who as Executive Chairman of Northern Star Resources Limited (ASX: NST) has been the driving force behind that company’s growth and success over the past decade from a junior micro-cap to become Australia’s second-largest gold producer with a market capitalisation of ~$12 billion. On 10 June 2021, Bill Beament and the Company entered into the Executive Service Agreement. It is intended that Mr Beament will join the Board as a full-time Executive Director from 1 July 2021.

  2. The transaction proposed by Mr Beament, as approved by Shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting on 9 June 2021, introduces:

  3. a. Funding of $19.0 million at 8c per share by way of a $14 million placement to sophisticated investors, of which Mr Beament will contribute $8.9 million, and a fully underwritten 1-for-7 Entitlement Offer to existing shareholders; and

  4. b. An option structure to source additional funding of $39.6 million, increasing the total value of the strategic funding package to $59 million, putting Venturex in a strong position to fasttrack the development of Sulphur Springs.

  5. Importantly, Venturex shareholders will have the opportunity to participate in this funding package via the Entitlement Offer, through which they will also receive one free attaching option for every two shares subscribed for, exercisable at 13.5c within 24 months. The Entitlement Offer will be available to all shareholders on the Company's share register on the record date, which is 16 June 2021, on the same terms and price as the placements.

  6. The board restructure outlined on 24 February has already seen highly-regarded mining executive Mick McMullen, the former CEO of Stillwater Mining and Detour Gold, join the Board as an Executive Director. In addition, as approved by Shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) on 9 June 2021, Mr Beament will join the Board as an Executive Director on 1 July and I was elected to the Board as non-executive Chairman.

To be eligible to participate in the Offer, you must be a registered holder of Shares on the Record Date (5.00 pm (AWST) on Wednesday, 16 June 2021) and be shown on the Register to have an address in Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Hong Kong or the People's Republic of China.

Important information

You should read the entirety of this Prospectus carefully. An investment in the Company and the New Shares and New Options is speculative and subject to a range of risks, which are more fully detailed in section 4 of this Prospectus. If any of these risks or other material risks eventuate, it may have a material adverse impact on the Company's future financial performance and position.

The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable and the New Shares and New Options may only be issued to the 'Eligible Shareholder' to whom they are offered. There are no rights tradeable on the ASX.

Argonaut Capital is acting as Underwriter to the Entitlement Offer.

If you would like further information regarding the Offer, please call and leave a message for the Company Secretary on 08 6389 7400 (within Australia) or +61 8 6389 7400 (from outside Australia) at any time during business hours (AWST) Monday to Friday or visit our website at https://www.venturexresources.com. For other questions, you should consult your broker, solicitor, accountant, taxation adviser, financial adviser or other professional adviser without delay.

You should be aware that the Company has not had regard to your individual circumstances or needs, including your personal taxation or financial position, in sending this Prospectus and accompanying information to you, and the Company is not licensed to provide financial product advice to you in relation to your Shares or the New Securities.

If you have any doubt about whether you should participate in the Offer, you should seek professional advice before making any investment decision.

On behalf of the Directors and management team of Venturex, I thank you for your ongoing support.

Yours sincerely

2.1 Background

On 24 February 2021, the Company announced to ASX that it intended to undertake an extensive recapitalisation plan, including:

  • (a) a placement of Shares and Options to Bill Beament and other sophisticated and professional investors ( Placement ), see details in section 2.4 below;

  • (b) an entitlement offer, being the subject of this Prospectus ( Entitlement Offer ), see details in section 2.2 below; and

  • (c) a restructure of the Board ( Restructure ), see details in section 2.4 below,

(together, the Recapitalisation ).

The Recapitalisation proposal was led by Bill Beament, whom will step down as the Executive Chair of Northern Star Resources Limited on 30 June 2021. Further details regarding Bill Beament, and his intent for the Company following the Placement are set out in the Notice of Meeting released to ASX on 6 May 2021 and in section 1 of the Explanatory Statement. On 10 June 2021, Bill Beament and the Company entered into an Executive Service Agreement, the terms of which are summarised in section 6.20 of this Prospectus.

2.2 The Entitlement Offer

As announced to ASX on 24 February 2021, the Company wishes to extend to the opportunity to participate in the re-capitalisation plan to existing Shareholders.

  • (a) up to 62,020,484 new Shares ( New Shares ) to existing Shareholders; and

  • (b) up to 31,010,242 New Options to existing Shareholders, being 1 free attaching New Option per 2 shares subscribed with a nil issue price and an exercise price of $0.135;

(together, the Entitlement Offer ).

Argonaut Capital is underwriting the Entitlement Offer in accordance with the terms set out in section 6.21.

If you are an Eligible Shareholder that has received this Prospectus, the number of New Shares and New Options to which you are entitled is shown on the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

Venturex disclaims all liability to the maximum extent permitted by law in respect of any determination as to whether a Shareholder is an Eligible Shareholder or an Ineligible Shareholder.

The Entitlement Offer is not being extended to any Shareholders outside Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Hong Kong and the People's Republic of China. Eligible Shareholders who are nominees, trustees or custodians are advised to seek independent professional advice.

Nominees acting for other persons must not take up any Entitlements on behalf of, or send any documents related to the Entitlement Offer to, any person in the United States.

  • (a) Mick McMullen was appointed to the Board as an Executive Director on 24 February 2021;

2.5 The Recapitalisation Options Offer

The offer of the Options under the Placement and the Restructure together constitute the Recapitalisation Options Offer.

2.6

Purpose of this Prospectus

The offer of New Shares to the proposed participants in the Entitlement Offer would ordinarily fall within the exemption from issuing a prospectus provided for rights issues pursuant to section 708AA(2) of the Corporations Act.

However, the Company has chosen to offer the New Shares and New Options under the Entitlement Offer under this transaction specific prospectus ( Prospectus ) in accordance with section 713 of the Corporations Act for the following reasons:

  • (b) issuing the New Options under this Prospectus will enable persons issued the New Options to on-sell the Shares issued on the exercise of the New Options pursuant to ASIC Corporations (Sale Offers That Do Not Need Disclosure) Instrument 2016/80 ; and

  • (c) issuing the New Shares under this Prospectus will enable the persons issued the New Shares to on-sell the New Shares pursuant to section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act, without the Company needing to separately issue a Cleansing Notice under section 708A(5) of the Corporations Act.

The Prospectus will also be used to enable persons issued the Options under the Recapitalisation Options Offer to on-sell the Shares issued on the exercise of the Options pursuant to ASIC Corporations (Sale Offers That Do Not Need Disclosure) Instrument 2016/80 .

2.7

2.16 Payment methods

(a) Payment by BPAY®

For payment by BPAY®, please follow the instructions on the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form (which includes the biller code and your unique Customer Reference Number ( CRN )). You can only make a payment via BPAY® if you are the holder of an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY® transactions. Please note that should you choose to pay by BPAY®:

  • (i) you do not need to return the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the declarations on that personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form; and

  • (ii) if you do not pay for your full Entitlement, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of New Shares (and New Options) as is covered in full by your application monies.

When completing your BPAY® payment, please make sure to use the specific biller code and unique CRN provided on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. If you receive more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form (i.e. where you have multiple holdings), please only use the CRN specific to the Entitlement on that form. If you inadvertently use the same CRN for more than one of your Entitlements when paying by BPAY®, you will be deemed to have taken up your Entitlement and applied for New Shares over and above your Entitlement on that holding to which that CRN applies and your applications in respect of your other CRNs will be deemed to have lapsed.

Should you choose to pay by BPAY®, it is your responsibility to ensure that your BPAY® payment is received by the Share Registry by no later than 3.00pm (AWST) on Monday,12 July 2021. You should be aware that your financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regard to electronic payment and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. Venturex takes no responsibility for any failure to receive application monies or payment by BPAY® before the Entitlement Offer closes arising as a result of, among other things, delays in postage or processing of payments by financial institutions.

(b) Payment by cheque, bank draft or money order

For payment by cheque, bank draft or money order, you should complete your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form in accordance with the instructions on the form and return it accompanied by a cheque, bank draft or money order in Australian currency for the amount of the Application Monies, payable to ‘Venturex Resources Limited' and crossed ‘Not Negotiable’.

  • (iii) for an amount equal to $0.08 multiplied by the number of New Shares that you are applying for; and

  • (iv) in Australian dollars drawn on an Australian financial institution or an Australian branch of a financial institution.

You should ensure that sufficient funds are held in the relevant account(s) to cover the application monies on the day of receipt. If the amount of your cheque, bank draft or money order for application monies is insufficient to pay for the number of New Shares (you have applied for in your Entitlement and Acceptance Form, you will be taken to have applied for such lower number of whole New Shares as your cleared application monies will pay for and to have specified that number of shares on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

If quotation is not granted, New Shares under the Entitlement Offer will not be issued and application monies will be refunded to Applicants without interest.

The Company has decided that it is unreasonable to make offers under the Entitlement Offer to Ineligible Shareholders, having regard to the number of such holders in those places, the number and value of New Shares and New Options that they would be offered and the cost of complying with the relevant legal and regulatory requirements in those places. Ineligible Shareholders are not eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer due to securities law restrictions on the offer of New Shares and New Options in certain jurisdictions.

4. Risk factors

4.1 Introduction

This section 4 describes some of the potential risks associated with the Company's business and the industry in which it operates, and the risks associated with an investment in Shares.

The Company is subject to a number of risks both specific to the Company and of a general nature, which may either individually or in combination adversely affect the future operating and financial performance of the Company, its investment returns and the value of its Shares.

You should note that this section 4 does not purport to list every risk that may be associated with an investment in the Company and the New Securities now or in the future, and the occurrence or consequences of some of the risks described in this section 4 may be partially or completely outside the control of the Company, its Directors and management. There can be no guarantee that the Company will achieve its stated objectives or that any forward looking statement or forecasts will eventuate.

The selection of risks has been based on an assessment of a combination of the probability of the risk occurring and impact of the risk if it did occur. The assessment is based on the knowledge of the Directors as at the date of this Prospectus, but there is no guarantee or assurance that the importance of risks will not change, or other risks will not emerge. While it may be possible to mitigate some risks, there remain a large number of risks beyond the control of the Company.

You should satisfy yourself that you have a sufficient understanding of these matters, including the risks described in this section 4, and have regard to your own investment objectives, financial circumstances and taxation position before investing in the Company. The Company recommends that you seek professional guidance from your stockbroker, solicitor, accountant or other independent and qualified professional advisor in relation to the Offer.

4.2 Venturex specific risks

(a) Additional requirements for capital

The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company’s ability to generate income from its operations, the Company may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the Capital Raising.

Any additional equity financing may dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. The Company is currently not a party to any binding offtake agreement and the ability to obtain debt financing may be tied to securing an appropriate offtake agreement in the future.

If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its exploration programmes as the case may be.

The current Recapitalisation proposal which was subject to approval by the Company’s shareholders at a General Meeting held on 9 June, 2021 has been passed. The Company will receive funds totalling $14,003,010 (before costs) from Bill Beament and the placees.

The Underwriting Agreement entered into between Argonaut Capital and the Company is subject to certain conditions which if not achieved may result in Argonaut Capital terminating the Underwriting Agreement.

The Recapitalisation contains a substantial component of funding from the exercise of options which may, or may not, occur.

(b) Key personnel

The Company is dependent on the experience of its current Directors and its management team. The future direction of the Company, including the plans proposed to be implemented by the new Board are dependent on the continuation of Bill Beament and the new management team with the Company. Although the Company has sought, and will continue to ensure, that its current management personnel (including Bill Beament once appointed in July) are appropriately incentivised, their services cannot be guaranteed. The loss of any of the key management personnel's services may have an adverse effect on the

28

ME_184995571_2

performance of the Company pending replacements being identified and retained or appointed by the Company.

(c) Costs associated with mining in the Pilbara region of Western Australia

Mining projects in the Pilbara region of Western Australia can be expensive to develop because of relatively high labour, energy, capital goods and transport costs. The Company’s Australian projects are located in this region and accordingly, higher than usual costs of exploration, development and mining are expected to impose a significant burden on the Company’s capital expenditure requirements.

(d)

COVID-19

The global economic outlook is highly uncertain due to the current COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic is having a significant impact on global capital markets.

The COVID-19 pandemic may impact the Company's operations or cashflow and may affect the supply of materials and limit the availability of appropriate workers required for the Company to progress the development of its Sulphur Springs Project.

(e)

Regulatory risks

The Company’s exploration and development activities are subject to extensive laws and regulations relating to numerous matters including resource licence consents, conditions including environmental compliance and rehabilitation, taxation, employee relations, health and worker safety, waste disposal, protection of the environment, native title and heritage matters, protection of endangered and protected species and other matters.

The Company requires permits from regulatory authorities to authorise the Company’s operations. These permits relate to exploration, development, production and rehabilitation activities.

Obtaining the necessary permits can be a time consuming process and there is a risk that the Company will not obtain these permits on acceptable terms, in a timely manner or at all. The costs and delays associated with obtaining necessary permits and complying with these permits and applicable laws and regulations could materially delay or restrict the Company from proceeding with the development of a project or the operation or development of a mine. Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations or permits, even if inadvertent, could result in material fines, penalties or other liabilities. In extreme cases, failure could result in suspension of the Company’s activities or forfeiture of one or more of its tenements.

(f)

Development of projects

The Company’s 100% owned Sulphur Springs Project is pre-development, and potential investors should understand that development of mineral projects is a high-risk undertaking.

The Company’s future development activities may be affected by a range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, industrial and environmental accidents, native title process, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond the Company’s control.

The Company’s success will also depend upon the Company having access to sufficient development capital, being able to maintain title to its tenements, obtaining all required approvals for its activities and recruiting appropriately skilled personnel.

The Company’s development costs are based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of development. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the cost estimates and the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely affect the Company’s viability.

(g)

Copper / zinc price volatility

If the Company achieves success leading to copper/zinc production, the Company’s financial performance will be sensitive to the spot copper/zinc price. Copper/zinc prices are affected by numerous factors and events that are beyond the Company’s control. These factors and events include general economic activity, world demand, forward selling activity,

29

ME_184995571_2

copper/zinc reserve movements at central banks, costs of production by other copper/zinc producers and other matters such as inflationary expectations, interest rates, currency exchange rates (particularly the strength of the US dollar) as well as general global economic conditions and political trends.

If copper/zinc prices should fall below or remain below the Company’s costs of production for any sustained period due to these or other factors and events, the Company’s exploration and production could be delayed or even abandoned. A delay in exploration or production or the abandonment of one or more of the Company’s projects may require the Company to write-down its copper/zinc reserves and may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s production, earnings and financial position.

(h)

Copper / Zinc operating and development risks

The Company’s ability to achieve production, development, operating cost and capital expenditure estimates on a timely basis cannot be assured. The business of copper/zinc mining involves many risks and may be impacted by factors including ore tonnes, yield, input prices (some of which are unpredictable and outside the Company’s control), overall availability of free cash to fund continuing development activities, labour force disruptions, cost overruns, changes in the regulatory environment and other unforeseen contingencies. Other risks also exist such as environmental hazards (including discharge of pollutants or hazardous chemicals), industrial accidents and occupational and health hazards. Such occurrences could result in damage to, or destruction of, production facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in mining, increased production costs and other monetary losses and possible legal liability to the owner or operator of the mine. The Company may become subject to liability for pollution or other hazards against which it has not insured or cannot insure, including those in respect of past mining activities for which it was not responsible.

The risks outlined above also mean that there can be no assurances as to the future development of a mining operation in relation to any of the Company’s projects or which the Company may acquire in the future.

(i)

Potential merger and acquisition activity

As part of its current business strategy, the Company may make acquisitions or divestments of, or significant investments in, companies, products, technologies or assets. The Company may also be the subject of a takeover bid in the future.

Any such future merger and acquisition activity would be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making acquisitions or divestments.

4.3

Mining industry risks

The business activities of the Company are subject to economic and investment risks that are applicable to companies operating in the mining industry and these industry risks may impact on the future performance of the Company. These risk factors include, but are not limited to, those summarised below.

(a) Exploration risk

Exploration is a high-risk activity that requires significant amounts of expenditure over extended periods of time to present a reasonable probability of success. The Company’s exploration activities are subject to all the hazards and risks normally encountered in the exploration of minerals, including climatic conditions, hazards of operating vehicles and plant, risks associated with operating in remote areas and other similar considerations.

Conclusions drawn during mineral exploration are subject to the uncertainties associated with all sampling techniques and to the risk of incorrect interpretation of geological, geochemical, geophysical, drilling and other data.

No assurance can be given that during the exploration process mineral resources will be defined with preferred or desirable tonnages and/or grades that would result in feasible economic extraction. Substantial expense may be incurred without the requisite or expected degree of reward.

Further, the costs of the Company’s exploration activities may materially differ from its estimates and assumptions. No assurance can be given that the Company’s cost estimates

30

ME_184995571_2

and the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely affect the value of the Company’s shares.

(b) Operating and project risks

Unforeseen risks can arise in the development and production phase including mining or processing issues, environmental hazards, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, labour forced disruption, the unavailability of materials and plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, unusual or unexpected geological formations, pit failures, changes in the regulatory environment, contractual disputes with offtakers, removal of access rights to the property(s) and adverse weather conditions. Such occurrences could result in damage to, or destruction of, mineral properties or production facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in mining, monetary losses and possible legal liability.

(c)

Environmental

The Company’s operations and activities are subject to the environmental laws and regulations of Australia (and Western Australia) and any other places the Company may conduct business.

The Company attempts to conduct its operations and activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws and regulations. However, non-compliance with or breach of any conditions attached to the Company’s mining or environmental licences may lead to penalties or revocation of the licence, and significant liability could be imposed on the Company for damages, clean-up costs or penalties in the event of certain environmental damage. This would require the Company to incur significant costs and may result in an adverse impact on the Company’s cash flows, financial position and performance.

Further, the Company is unable to predict the effect of additional environmental laws and regulations which may be adopted in the future, including whether any such laws or regulations would materially increase the Company’s cost of doing business or affect its operations in any area. There can be no assurances that new environmental laws, regulations or stricter enforcement policies, once implemented, will not oblige the Company to incur significant expenses and undertake significant investments which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations, financial position and performance.

(d) Metallurgy

Metal and/or mineral recoveries are dependent upon the metallurgical process, and by its nature contain elements of significant risk such as identifying a metallurgical process through test work to produce a saleable product, developing an economic process route to produce a saleable product, and changes in mineralogy in the ore deposit can result in inconsistent ore grades and recovery rates affecting the economic viability of the project.

(e) Resource and reserve estimates

Mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates must comply with the JORC Code, 2012 Edition, and are expressions of judgements based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates that are valid when made may change significantly when new information becomes available through drilling, sampling and other similar examinations.

In addition, JORC compliant mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates are necessarily imprecise and depend to some extent on geological interpretations, as well as various economic, commercial, technical, environmental and legal assumptions which may prove to be inaccurate or invalid due to the passage of time.

Should the Company encounter mineralisation or formations different from those predicted, mineral resource estimates may have to be adjusted and mining plans may have to be altered in a way which could adversely affect the Company’s operations.

(f) Tenure and forfeiture

Mining and exploration tenements are subject to periodic renewal. There is no guarantee that current or future tenements or future applications for production tenements will be approved.

31

ME_184995571_2

Tenements are subject to the applicable mining acts and regulations in Western Australia. The renewal of the term of a granted tenement is also subject to the discretion of the relevant Minister. Renewal or conversion conditions may include increased expenditure and work commitments or compulsory relinquishment of areas of the tenements comprising the Company’s projects. The imposition of new conditions or the inability to meet those conditions may adversely affect the operations, financial position and/or performance of the Company.

In Western Australia, tenements may also be forfeited during the term pursuant to an application by any party, or by the Department. Irrespective of the Company's compliance with the conditions of the tenements, and applicable mining acts and regulations, there is no guarantee that applications for forfeiture will not be made against the tenements. Further, exemptions from tenement conditions are subject to the discretion of the Minister for Mines and objections by third parties.

If any application for forfeiture or objection to the grant of an exemption is lodged, the Company may be required to defend such applications or objections in the Warden's Court and incur significant costs.

(g)

Access

Tenements are often subject to third party interests which may require rights of access to be granted to the Company. Where the Company wishes to undertake further exploration or production works on a tenement, it may need to negotiate access over land which is the subject of a third-party interest. If access arrangements cannot be agreed, this may adversely affect the Company's ability to explore and develop its tenements.

The Company may already have existing access arrangements, which may need to be renewed or renegotiated as access to and use of the tenements changes. Renegotiation of these agreements may be costly, or adversely affect the Company's ability to explore and develop its tenements.

(h)

Native title risk

Native title or Aboriginal heritage sites or objects may exist in the areas covered by the Company’s tenements.

If native title has been claimed, the Company may seek a native title determination authorising entry onto land where native title has been claimed. If the title grants exclusive possession, the landowner may object to a notice of entry. Entry may only be granted on specific terms and conditions, and the Company may have to pay compensation to the landowner.

If there is a determination of native title over an area the subject of the prospecting and exploration tenements held by the Company, the native title holder’s consent may be required for exploration and mining to occur.

Native title could potentially impact the status, renewal and conversion of existing tenements held by the Company and may impact the future grant of new tenements. Compensation may be required to be provided by the Company to native titleholders in the form of money, transfer of property or provision of goods and services.

(i) Decarbonisation Risk

The Company may be required in the future to transition its mining operations to decarbonised mining operations. Such a transition may be required by changing environmental legislation or regulations, changing economic conditions or changing investor or lender sentiment. Decarbonisation may require changes to the Company's actual or planned mining activities and may affect the continuing viability or profitability of those activities.

4.4 General risks

The business activities of the Company are subject to various general economic and investment risks that may impact on the future performance of the Company. These risk factors include, but are not limited to, those summarised below.

(a)

Economic conditions

General economic conditions in Australia and overseas, including the introduction of tax reform, new legislation, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.

(b) Market conditions

Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:

  • (i) general economic outlook;

  • (ii) introduction of tax reform or other new legislation;

  • (iii) interest rates and inflation rates;

  • (iv) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;

  • (v) the demand for, and supply of, capital;

  • (vi) terrorism or other hostilities; and

  • (vii) pandemics and associated issues.

The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and industrial stocks in particular. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company, particularly as a result of COVID19.

Investors should be aware that there is a risk that the market price of the Shares may change between the date of this Prospectus and the date when New Options are issued or the date when the New Options are exercised.

(c) ESG risks

In addition to Venturex specific, industry specific and general risks which may potentially affect the Company, the Company notes that there is an increasing vigilance by investors, shareholders and other interested third parties regarding environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues.

A developing focus on ESG issues may:

  • (i) impact the implementation, interpretation or enforcement of legislation, regulations or formal and informal policies which affect the Company;

  • (ii) influence the investment criteria, sentiment or assumptions applied by investors and lenders dealing with the Company; or

  • (iii) influence the policies and negotiating positions of third parties currently contracting with Company or who would otherwise be likely to contract with the Company in the future.

(d) Insurance

The Company insures its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances, the Company's insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company.

Insurance against all the risks associated with construction and engineering is not always available and, where available, costs can be prohibitive.

33

ME_184995571_2

(e) Liquidity and realisation risk

There can be no guarantee that an active market in the Shares will develop or continue, or that the market price of the Shares will increase. If a market does not develop or is not sustained, it may be difficult for investors to sell their Shares, as there may be relative few, if any, potential buyers or sellers of the Shares on ASX at any time.

(f) Tax

The subscription for convertible securities such as the New Options, Placement Options and Director Options may give rise to adverse taxation consequences and these consequences may differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor.

Shareholders are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring any Options under the Offer.

The Company, its advisors and its officers do not accept any responsibility or liability for any taxation consequences to Shareholders resulting from the Offer.

(g) Other general risks

  • (i) The operating and financial performance of the Company is influenced by a variety of general economic and business conditions, including levels of consumer spending, inflation, interest rates and exchange rates, supply and demand, industrial disruption, access to debt and capital markets and government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies. Changes in general economic conditions may result from many factors including government policy, international economic conditions, significant acts of terrorism, hostilities or war, epidemic or pandemic or natural disasters. A prolonged deterioration in general economic conditions including an increase in interest rates or a decrease in consumer and business demand, could be expected to have an adverse impact on the Company's operating and financial performance and financial position.

  • (ii) The Company's future possible revenues and Share prices may be affected by these factors, which are beyond the control of the Company:

  • (A) Default by a party to any contract to which the Company is, or may become, a party;

  • (B) Insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the sub-contractors used by the Company in its activities;

  • (C) Industrial disputation by the Company's workforce or the workforce of its sub-contractors;

  • (D) Acts of war and terrorism or the outbreak or escalation of international hostilities and tensions; or

  • (E) Epidemics or pandemics.

4.5 Speculative investment

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by Shareholders in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the New Securities offered under this Prospectus.

Therefore, the New Securities to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those New Securities. Shareholders should consider that their investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisors for further advice.

34

ME_184995571_2

5. Rights and liabilities attaching to New Securities

5.1 Shares

There is presently only one class of share issued by the Company: fully paid ordinary shares.

The rights attaching to fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (i.e. the Shares and the New Shares) are:

  • (a) set out in the Constitution; and

  • (b) in certain circumstances, regulated by the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules, the ASX Settlement Operating Rules and the general law.

The following is a summary of the significant rights attaching to the Shares. This summary is not exhaustive nor does it constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders.

(a) Voting rights

At a general meeting, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative has:

  • (i) on a show of hands, one vote; and

  • (ii) on a poll, one vote per fully paid Share. On a poll, partly paid Shares confer a fraction of a vote proportional to the amount paid up on the Share (excluding any amount credited as paid up).

At any general meeting, a resolution shall be decided on a show of hands unless a poll is demanded. A poll may be demanded by at least five Shareholders present and entitled to vote at the meeting (in person or by proxy, attorney or Representative), by Shareholders with at least 5% of the votes that may be cast on the resolution, or by the chairperson.

(b) General meetings and notices

Shareholders are entitled to receive notice of the Company's general meetings, to attend them and to vote at them.

(c) Dividends

Shareholders may receive dividends out of the Company's profits. The Directors may from time to time decide to pay a dividend to Shareholders entitled to the dividend. This dividend shall be payable on a Share according to the proportion of that Share that has been paid. The Directors may rescind a decision to pay a dividend if they decide, before the payment date, that the Company’s financial position no longer justifies the payment. The Directors may determine Shareholders' entitlements to dividends, including how and when the dividend is paid. The Directors may decide not to distribute dividends.

(d) Transfer of Shares

Subject to the Constitution, Shareholders may transfer any of their Shares by:

  • (i) an ASX settlement transfer;

  • (ii) any method introduced by ASX, or operated under the ASX Settlement Operating Rules or ASX Listing Rules, and in any case recognised under the Corporations Act; or

  • (iii) an instrument in writing in any usual form or other form of which the Directors approve.

The Directors may refuse to register a transfer of Shares if:

  • (i) the ASX Listing Rules require or permit the Company to do so; or

  • (ii) the transfer is a transfer of restricted securities which is or might be in breach of either the ASX Listing Rules or any escrow agreement the Company has entered into in relation to such Restricted Securities pursuant to the ASX Listing Rules.

This right of refusal does not apply to an ASX Settlement Transfer.

35

ME_184995571_2

(e) Issue of further Shares

At any time, the Directors may issue Shares on terms they, in their absolute discretion, determine. This is subject to the Company's Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.

(f) Winding up

Subject to the Company's Constitution, if the Company is wound up, all monies and property to be distributed among Shareholders shall be distributed among Shareholders in proportion to the number of shares they hold (regardless of the amount paid-up on them).

The liquidator may, with the approval of a special resolution of the Company:

  • (i) divide among the Shareholders in kind, all or any of the Company’s property;

  • (ii) determine how such division is to be carried out between different classes of Shareholders;

  • (iii) value the property as it thinks fair; and

  • (iv) vest the whole or any part of any property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit.

(g) Directors – appointment and removal

The minimum number of Directors is 3 and the maximum number is 9. Directors are elected at general meetings of the Company. At the Company's annual general meeting, one third of the Directors shall retire. If the number of Directors is not a multiple of three, the number closest to one-third, rounding up, shall retire. No Director, except the managing director, shall hold office for three years or more without retiring and being re-elected. A Director retiring by rotation is eligible for re-election. Directors may appoint a Director to fill a casual vacancy on the Board or as an addition to the existing Directors. That Director will then hold office until the next annual general meeting of the Company, when they will be eligible for re-election.

(h)

Directors' voting

Questions arising at any meeting of Directors shall be decided by a majority of votes. An alternate director has one vote for each Director for whom he or she is an alternate. If an alternate director is also a Director, he or she also has a vote as a Director. If there are equal votes, and more than two Directors voting, the chair shall have a casting vote.

(i) Variation of rights

Rights attaching to any class of shares may be varied by:

  • (i) the written consent of 75% of shareholder of that class; or

  • (ii) special resolution of the shareholders of that class.

This is subject to the Corporations Act and, so far as relevant, the Company Constitution's provisions on general meetings.

(j) Dividend and share plans

The Directors may implement a dividend reinvestment plan. This is subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, and the Company may amend or revoke this by ordinary resolution in general meeting. The Directors may issue share options as they see fit. The Company may authorise the Directors to implement a bonus share plan on certain terms and conditions. This is subject to the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, and the Company may amend or revoke this by ordinary resolution in general meeting.

(k) Alteration of Constitution

The Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution.

36

37

ME_184995571_2

(h) Exercise conditions

Subject to these conditions, Options may be exercised at any time after the relevant Vesting Date and on or before the relevant Expiry Date by the Option holder:

  • (i) lodging with the Company a notice of exercise signed by the holder ( Notice of Exercise ) for a parcel of not less than one thousand (1,000) Options except that if the Option holder holds less than one thousand (1,000) Options then such Options may be exercised; and

  • (ii) paying the Company the relevant Exercise Price in respect of the Options exercised.

An exercise of Options will only be valid and effective once the Company has received, in cleared funds, the full amount of the relevant Exercise Price payable and after the other matters have been complied with pursuant to this item (h).

(i) Notice of Exercise

A Notice of Exercise, once lodged with the Company, is irrevocable and by giving a Notice of Exercise the Option holder:

  • (i) agrees to subscribe for that number of Shares equivalent to the number of Options exercised in the Notice of Exercise;

  • (ii) agrees to be bound by the Company's constitution on the issue of Shares; and

  • (iii) without limiting any other clause in these conditions, must pay the relevant Exercise Price in respect of the Options exercised at the time the Notice of Exercise is lodged with the Company.

(j) Exercise in whole or part

The Options may be exercised in whole or in part, subject to the conditions in item (h).

(k) Issue of Shares

For each Option that is exercised, the Company must issue to the Option holder one Share, credited as fully paid and, within 5 Business Days (or such other period as is required by the ASX Listing Rules) after the date of exercise of the Option, issue (or cause to be issued) to the Option holder a Holding Statement or other appropriate evidence of title for each Share that is issued.

(l) Issue of holding statement

If an Option holder exercises only some of the Options held, the Company must issue (or cause to be issued) a holding statement or other appropriate evidence of title for each remaining Placement Option held by the Placement Option holder.

(m) Reconstruction of capital

In the event of any reconstruction (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company, the rights of the Option holder will be treated in the manner prescribed by the ASX Listing Rules applying to reconstructions at that time.

(n) Takeover bid or scheme of arrangement

If:

  • (i) a takeover bid within the meaning of the Corporations Act is made for the Shares and the bidder becomes entitled to compulsorily acquire Shares, any Options not exercised by the end of the bid period will lapse; or

  • (ii) a court orders a meeting to be held in relation to a proposed scheme of arrangement under Part 5.1 of the Corporations Act in relation to the Company, which, if implemented, would result in a person having a relevant interest in at least 90% of Shares, any Options not exercised during the period that ends seven days after the date of the court order will lapse.

38

ME_184995571_2

(o) Status of shares issued on exercise

All Shares issued upon exercise of the Options will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company’s then existing Shares. The Company will apply for official quotation by the ASX of all Shares issued upon exercise of the Options.

(p)

Participation in new issues

There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Placement Options. However, if from time to time on or prior to the relevant Expiry Date the Company makes an issue of new Shares to Shareholders, the Company will announce the issue to ASX prior to the record date in accordance with the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules. This will give holders of Options the opportunity to exercise their Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.

(q)

Pro rata issue

If the Company makes a pro rata issue (except a bonus issue), and that pro rata offer is announced by the Company after the date of grant of the Options, the Exercise Price of the Options will be reduced in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules according to the formula in Listing Rule 6.22.2 as follows:

==> picture [110 x 23] intentionally omitted <==

Where:

  • O’ = the new exercise price of the Option;

  • O = the old exercise price of the Option;

  • E = the number of Shares into which one Option is exercisable;

  • P = the volume weighted average market price per Share of the Shares during the five trading days ending on the day before the ex right date or the ex entitlements date for the relevant pro rata offer;

  • S = the subscription price for new Shares issued under the pro rata issue;

  • D = any dividends due but not yet paid on the existing Shares (except those to be issued under the pro rata issue); and

  • N = the number of securities with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to one new security.

(r) Change in exercise price

6.3 Reconciliation, Reconciliation Options and the rights of Venturex

The Entitlement Offer is a complex process and in some instances investors may be otherwise entitled to more New Shares and New Options than are initially offered to them. These matters may result in a need for reconciliation. If reconciliation is required, it is possible that Venturex may need to issue additional New Shares and New Options ( Reconciliation Securities ) to ensure that the relevant investors receive their appropriate allocation of New Shares and New Options.

Venturex also reserves the right to reduce the size of an Entitlement or number of New Shares and New Options allocated to Eligible Shareholders.

6.4 Warranties made on acceptance of the Entitlement Offer

If you take no action and are deemed to have accepted your Entitlement, you will also be deemed to have acknowledged, represented and warranted that you, and each person on whose account you are acting:
