  • The RC drilling at both Currans Find North and Red White and Blue Reef prospects (25 holes for 1208m) demonstrates continuity of high-grade gold mineralization along strike and, particularly, down plunge.
  • All reef testing was in the shallow oxide zone and the gold mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth.
  • High-grade gold values appear to form clusters within broad envelopes of goldmineralised zones which is similar to the setting at other gold deposits in the Penny West district.
  • Follow-up drilling will test Currans Find North, Red White and Blue, and Taylor's reef along strike, and down plunge.

Please Direct Enquiries to:

Venus Metals Corporation Limited (VMC) in conjunction with Rox Resources Ltd (RXL) is pleased to announce the results of an initial reverse circulation (RC) drilling programme at the Currans Find Joint Venture gold project*, part of the Youanmi Gold Project, Western Australia (Figure 1).

Project background

The Currans Find project area is located within the Youanmi Greenstone Belt and situated approximately 5 km north-northwest of the historical Penny West gold mine (Figure 1).

High-grade gold mineralization is associated with quartz veins that generally plunge to the southwest and steeply dip to the southeast. The mineralization is hosted by mafic rocks (amphibolite), ultramafics (talc-tremolite schist) and diorite. Similar rocks are host to the gold mineralisation at Penny West.

This initial RC drilling program comprising 25 holes for a total of 1,208 m (Figure 2, Table 1), targeted shallow high-grade gold mineralization beneath historical workings at the two main gold prospects 'Currans Find North' and 'Red White and Blue Workings' and their interpreted down-plunge extensions; it also included initial holes at the Taylor's Reef.

It is significant to note that the recent high-grade gold discovery at Penny West North by Spectrum Metals Ltd (ASX: SPX) from 5 March 2019 followed up an isolated intersection of 1m @ 6.47g/t from 92m depth in historical drilling.

Currans Find North

At Currans Find North, old workings outline a mineralised envelope some 150 metres long. Drilling was targeted to test a south west plunge to the mineralised envelope. Historical drilling showed an intersection of 3m at 10.37 g/t Au in hole 6CURC008. There is no evidence of any workings at surface vertically above the intersection.

Figure 2. Drillhole Location Plan_M57/641

Drilling was successful in outlining further high grades either side of this drill hole, including:

CFRC016 6m @ 9.82g/t Au from 36m
CFRC010 2m @ 5.25g/t Au from 48m
CFRC014 4m @ 5.72g/t Au from 60m
CFRC017 1m @ 1.59g/t Au from 18m

Full results are shown on the Currans Find North longitudinal section (Figure 3, Table 2), together with other significant historical results. The intersections highlight the possibility of plunging ore shoots within the mineralised envelope. These plunging shoots will be targeted in a follow-up drilling programme.

The cross-section B-B' also shows a pinch and swell nature to the ore shoots. Host rock to the mineralisation is a sheared talc-chlorite schist. The plunging ore shoots are open at depth and down plunge (Figure 4).

Red White and Blue Reefs

Drilling results from below these workings are shown on the Red, White and Blue longitudinal section (Figure 5).

Here, old workings define a mineralised zone that measures some 300 meters along strike.

New intersections include:

CFRC006 4m @ 4.81g/t Au from 36m
CFRC007 3m @ 1.81g/t Au from 52m
CFRC008 1m @ 4.96g/t Au from 46m
CFRC009 1m @ 3.51g/t Au from 9m
CFRC009a 1m @ 10.79g/t Au from 25m

Figure 3. Currans Find North Longitudinal Section

Figure 4. Currans Find North Cross Section B-B'

Figure 5. Currans Find Red, White & Blue Longitudinal Section

The ore shoots are open at depth and down plunge. Further drilling will target these depth extensions.

Taylor's Reef

Due to unavailability of an excavator, RC drilling had to be conducted without the reef location being well defined. Seven shallow holes were drilled to chase the reef. An excavator is now available and further planned drilling can be more focussed.

Agreement Background

*A purchase agreement has been entered into with Murchison Earthmoving & Rehabilitation Pty Ltd (MER), a wholly-owned company of Mr Doug Taylor, to acquire jointly with Rox Resources Limited (RXL) a combined 90% interest in ML 57/641 "Currans Find" of 300ha and a combined 90% interest in ML 57/642 of 59ha "Pinchers" (Figure 1). The 90% interest is shared equally between Venus and Rox, with the remaining 10% held by Mr Taylor. Venus is the manager of the joint venture (refer ASX release 15 April 2019).

Youanmi Gold Project- Currans Find

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (eg 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 (eg '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 (eg
submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.

Venus Metals Corporation (VMC)/ Rox
Resources Limited (RXL) JV drilled 25
shallow RC holes for a total of 1206m.
Samples were collected for every meter
with a representative split (c. 3kg) taken for
analysis using a cone splitter before
bagging the remainder and temporarily
storing on site.
Drilling
techniques

Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation,
open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger,
Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg 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).

RC holes were drilled down to 6 m with a
5.5-inch hammer to fit a PVC collar, and
the remainder was drilled with a 5-inch
hammer.

Holes were drilled at an angle of -60° to
between northwest and north-northwest,
and set up using a Suunto compass.

Downhole surveys were done for all holes
using a Gyro instrument, usually at c. 25m
intervals.
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

No recovery issues were reported in the
VMC drilling reports. In rare instances,
drilling encountered historical stopes and
no sample was recovered.

In all other cases, the recovery was good
and samples were generally dry due to
minimal groundwater.
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
sample bias may have occurred due to
preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse
material.
Logging
Sub-sampling

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.

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether

A qualified VMC geologist logged all holes
in full and supervised the sampling.

Small sub-samples were washed and
stored in chip trays for reference.

Photographs were taken of all chip trays.

Sampling was by Reverse Circulation
techniques
and sample

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

sampled.
drilling, collected every meter through a
cyclone and cone splitter.

All RC samples were analysed for gold at
Minanalytical Laboratory Services Pty Ltd
using their photon assay method on a c.
500g sub-sample (PAAU2)

Samples were dried, crushed to nominal
minus 3mm, and c. 500g linear split into
photon assay jars for analysis.
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 (eg standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory checks)
and whether acceptable levels of
accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision
have been established.

MinAnalytical
is
NATA
ISO17025
accredited for sample preparation and
photon analysis.

The photon assay method is a fully
automated technique designed for the
analysis of ores. It uses high energy x-rays
to excite the atoms and is non-destructive.
The c. 500g single-use jars allow for bulk
analysis
with
no
chance
of
cross
contamination between samples.

Quality control procedures include certified
reference
materials
and/or
in-house
controls, blanks, splits and replicates. In
addition, VMC supplied three different
OREAS reference materials or standards
that were inserted at a frequency of 1:25.

All QC results are satisfactory.
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.

No independent verification of sampling
and assaying has been carried out.
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
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.

RC drill hole locations (collar) were located
using a DGPS with an accuracy of +/-
10cm. Grid systems used were geodetic
datum: GDA 94, Projection: MGA, zone:
50.
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.

RC drilling was on lines approximately 10m
to 25m apart, with holes approximately 5m
to 25m spaced along lines.

The current initial RC drilling was designed
to verify historical drill results from RAB
and percussion drilling, test down-plunge
extensions of the mineralization and was of
a reconnaissance type only and not for
mineral resource calculation at this stage.

Samples were collected for one-meter
intervals in all quartz-rich intersections. All
other samples were composited to 2 to 4m
intervals, depending on the interval length.
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.

RC drilling was at -600
to the northwest
(see Table 1 for collar details).

The
drilling
was
approximately
perpendicular to the targeted quartz reefs
but due to variable dips and strikes of the
reefs,
reported
intervals
are
not
necessarily representative of true widths.
Sample
security

The measures taken to ensure sample
security.

All VMC samples were transported directly
to the Perth laboratory by VMC staff.
Audits or
reviews

The results of any audits or reviews of
sampling techniques and data.

No audits or reviews have been carried out
to date.

& Rehabilitation Pty Ltd (MER), a wholly
owned company of Mr Doug Taylor. VMC
has entered into a purchase agreement with
(MER) to acquire jointly with Rox Resources
Limited a combined 90% interest in M57/641
"Currans Find" of 300ha.The 90% interest is
shared equally between Venus and Rox,
with the remaining 10% held by Mr Taylor.

To the best of Venus' knowledge, there are
no known impediments to operate on the
ML.

Exploration

Acknowledgment and appraisal of
exploration by other parties.

Historical exploration in the area was
extensive and dates back to the early 1970s.
In the early 1980s, several companies
including
Inca
Gold
which
conducted
extensive
underground
mapping
and
sampling, Gold Mines of Australia and Black
Hill Minerals NL, conducted percussion
drilling and soil sampling. Later, CRA,
Eastmet (later Gold Mines of Australia) and
Goldcrest explored the Currans Find area.
Several stages of soil geochemistry, RAB
drilling and one program of RC drilling were
completed; relevant WAMEX reports are
listed in the VMC release dated 23 April
2019.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and
style of mineralisation.

Archean lode gold associated with quartz
reefs in brittle ductile shear zones. The
dominant rocks are mafic and ultramafic in
composition, comprising meta-gabbro, meta
quartz gabbro, diorite, pyroxenite and talc
tremolite schists. Minor felsic porphyry
intrusions and dykes occur within and about
the main workings. The distribution of gold
appears to be irregular. The association of
high-grade
gold
mineralization
with
intermediate and mafic-ultramafic rocks, and
structurally controlled emplacement appears
to be similar to the setting at the historical
Penny West Gold mine, c. 5km south
southeast of Currans.
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:
o easting and northing of the drill hole
collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level –
elevation above sea level in metres)
of the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception
depth
o 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.

For drill hole information refer to Table 1 of
this announcement.

Drill hole locations are shown on Figure 1.
Data
aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (eg 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

For one-meter intervals only analytical
results for Au ≥ 0.20 g/t are reported; for
composite samples (2-4m length) all results
for Au ≥ 0.2 g/t x meter are reported (Table
2). No upper cut-off has been applied.

Aggregated intercepts on the front page of
the release include up to one meter of
internal dilution.
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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 used for any reporting
of metal equivalent values should be
clearly stated.
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 (eg 'down
hole length, true width not known').

The gold mineralization dips steeply to the
southeast - east southeast. Drilling was at an
angle of -600
to the northwest – north
northwest, approximately perpendicular to
the strike of the mineralization.

Downhole lengths and intervals may not
represent true widths due to variable strike
direction and dip of the mineralization.

Based on the limited RC drilling to date, the
geometry,
extent
and
tenor
of
the
mineralization is not fully determined yet.
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.

Plan is attached to the report
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.

All exploration results with ≥0.2 Au g/t (1 m
samples) and Au ≥0.2 g/t x meter (composite
samples 2-4m length) are presented in
Table 2.
Other
substantive
exploration
data

Other exploration data, if meaningful
and material, should be reported
including (but not limited to): geological
observations; geophysical survey
results; geochemical survey results; bulk
samples – size and method of
treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk
density, groundwater, geotechnical and
rock characteristics; potential
deleterious or contaminating
substances.

Historical mining at the 'Currans North' and
'Red White and Blue Workings': Cancelled
GML records show that 6,874 tons were
treated at the Red White and Blue battery on
site for a recovered average of 13 g/t gold.

Further work
The nature and scale of planned further
work (eg tests for lateral extensions or
depth extensions or large-scale step-out
drilling).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas
of possible extensions, including the
main geological interpretations and
future drilling areas, provided this
information is not commercially

Following evaluation of the exploration data,
further RC drilling is planned along traverses
to continue evaluation of the auriferous

reefs
and
shear-hosted
gold
mineralization along strike, down plunge and
down dip.

Historical geochemical anomalies (see ASX
release from 23 April 2019) will be drill
tested.

Exploration Targets

The term 'Exploration Target' should not be misunderstood or misconstrued as an estimate of Mineral Resources and Reserves as defined by the JORC Code (2012), and therefore the terms have not been used in this context.

Forward-Looking Statements

This document may include forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning Venus Metals Corporation Limited planned exploration program and other statements that are not historical facts. When used in this document, the words such as "could," "plan," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may", "potential," "should," and similar expressions are forward-looking statements. Although Venus Metals Corporation Ltd believes that its expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements involve risks and uncertainties and no assurance can be given that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements.

Competent Person's Statement

The information in this release that relates to the Youanmi Gold Project is based on information compiled by Mr Barry Fehlberg, a Competent Person who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Fehlberg is Exploration Director of Venus Metals Corporation Limited. Mr Fehlberg has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity that is being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the 'Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Minerals Resources and Ore Reserves'. Mr Fehlberg consents to the inclusion in the release of the matters based on his information in the form and context that the information appears.
