During the Quarter, Venturex Resources Limited (ASX: VXR) continued to make strong progress towards development of a new - operation at its flagship Pilbara Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) Project in Western .

Highlights of the Quarter included further additions to its inventory of copper-zinc Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves, with total JORC Mineral Resources at the key Mons Cupri and Whim Creek deposits increasing to 5.97Mt @ 1.64% Cu Eq and an increase in combined Open Pit Ore Reserves to 3.47Mt @ 2.2% Cu Eq.

With further resource and reserve revisions expected shortly for the nearby Salt Creek and Evelyn deposits, the Company is on track to complete a Scoping Study during the December Quarter.

This will lay the foundations for a Feasibility Study commencing next year on the development of a proposed long-term copper-zinc operation with a targeted capacity of 600,000 – 700,000tpa.

Resource Drilling

Further RC drilling during the Quarter at the key Mons Cupri deposit intersected substantial widths of copper-zinc--gold mineralisation, extending the upper high- grade massive sulphide zone further to the north.

Significant results include drill hole MCR12, which intersected 8 metres grading 4.2% Cu, 5.7% Zn, 256g/t Ag and 0.91g/t Au. This zone remains open to the north and may link with copper sulphide mineralisation in the Mons Cupri Northwest area, 300 metres to the north (see Fig 1 below). This zone will be targeted in the next phase of drilling in October-November 2010. Significant drilling results are summarised below:

Scoping Study

Snowden Consultants were appointed to undertake a Scoping Study into the development of a sulphide operation at Whim Creek.

Key components of the Study include:

 Open pit production at Mons Cupri, Whim Creek and Evelyn in Years 1-5  Open pit and underground production from Salt Creek in Years 5-8  Targeted production rate of 600-700ktpa @ >2% Cu Eq  Production of copper, zinc and lead concentrates (with silver and gold credits)  Three-stage flotation circuit  Effective utilisation of substantial existing infrastructure including crusher, local power grid, haul roads, accommodation, etc

Optimisation modelling of the Whim Creek and Mons Cupri open pits was based on economic parameters summarised in the attached tables.

4 Net Smelter Returns (including grade, flotation recovery, shipping cost and smelter and refinery terms) were calculated for each ore block. The preliminary optimisation modelling indicates a robust operating cost profile for the Mons Cupri and Whim Creek pits with indicated C1 costs of less than US$1.0/lb copper based on the economic parameters adopted.

Exploration

Drilling re-commenced in October 2010 targeting the excellent potential for further additions to the Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves in the Whim Creek and Mons Cupri areas. The first target for significant resource additions will be a broad zone of VMS mineralisation located to the northwest of Mons Cupri.

Further exploration work is also underway on other VMS targets, including the Liberty- Indee area located approximately 35km to the south, which is believed to have the potential to emerge as a second VMS camp, raising the prospect of multiple additional VMS deposits in the district.

SX-EW Operations

WASCO Pty Ltd commenced construction of a five tonne per annum copper cathode SX-EW plant. The plant is expected to be commissioned in the second Quarter of 2010/2011. Venturex will receive 50% of net profit after recovery of capital.

6 BRAZIL

Mato Grosso and Pará States

During the Quarter, the Company’s 100%-owned subsidiary, CMG Mineração Limitada (CMGM), continued to conduct detailed evaluation of several projects in the Western Tapajos Gold province.

The Western Tapajos Gold Province is the western portion of the Archean-Proterozoic Amazon Craton. Covering a total area of approximately 135,000km², it comprises part of the Pará, Amazonas and Mato Grosso states of northern Brazil. This Gold Province is host to numerous gold deposits including Tocantinzinho, Palito, São Jorge, Cuiu Cuiu, Creporrizinho, Ouro Roxo, V3 and Jatai.

Exploration – Rio Pombo Project

As previously reported in the June Quarter activities report, CMGM completed a 1,500 metre trench sampling program over the Rio Pombo project. Significant trench sampling results included 2 metres grading 35.7g/t Au and 2 metres grading 17.9g/t Au. CMGM is now defining a first-pass drill program over the project but due to the imminent onset of the wet season in Mato Grosso, it is likely that the program will be delayed until the third quarter 2010/11.

Mons Cupri and Whim Creek Mineral Resource Estimate Parameters

Tenement The Mons Cupri Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) deposit is within M47/238 and the Whim Creek VMS deposit is within M47/236 and M47/443 which are wholly owned by Venturex Pilbara Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of Venturex Resources Limited.

Geology Mons Cupri and Whim Creek are Archaean polymetallic (Cu, Zn, Pb, Ag, Au) VMS deposits hosted by volcanogenic sediments. There are two principal styles of mineralisation: stratabound massive sulphide and stringer/feeder.

Previous Exploration The sulphide zone at Mons Cupri was discovered by Texas Gulf Australia Ltd in the late 1960s. Further drilling was conducted by Dominion Mining Ltd and Straits (Whim Creek) Pty Ltd. In the 1960s and 1970s drilling and mining studies were conducted at the Whim Creek deposit by Whim Creek Consolidated NL and Dominion Mining Ltd. Straits (Whim Creek) mined the oxide resources via open cuts. Venturex Resources Limited acquired Straits (Whim Creek) Pty Ltd in February 2010 and commenced drilling in May 2010.

Drilling Technique The drilling is diamond and reverse circulation (RC) with the majority of recent drilling being RC. Diamond core size is HQ and NQ. Core recovery is generally excellent. Core orientations were done where possible. Hole intersections points within the orebody are generally spaced 15 – 30 metres, with the majority less than 20 metres. Down hole orientation information is mainly from 30 metres-spaced single shots, with more recent drilling having some gyro to confirm the single shots. At Mons Cupri hole orientation is generally 30 – 90 degrees to the stratiform component of the ore body with the majority being ~60 degrees. At Whim Creek hole orientation is generally 60 – 90 degrees with the majority being ~80 degrees.

Logging and core Geological logging is sufficient and representative across the deposits. Wet core photo’s photographs have been taken of holes drilled in the last 6 years.

Sampling Technique At Mons Cupri samples used in the resource estimation area are approximately 50% diamond core and 50% RC chips. Core samples are generally <1.5 metres. Recent RC samples are generally 1m splits.

Sample preparation Recent samples were analysed at UltraTrace Laboratories, Perth, WA. Samples were and Assay Technique dried, crushed, split with a riffle splitter and pulverized. Au, Cu & Zn was determined by ICP Optical Emission Spectrometry. Ag & Pb was determined by ICP Mass Spectrometry.

Database and QAQC DataShed™ was used for drill hole and sample data storage and validation. Samples with QAQC data were evaluated using QAQCR assay quality reporting software. QAQC data evaluation included field duplicates, lab standards, repeats and lab blank flushes.

Interpretation Geological confidence is high for the main high grade stratabound zone in both deposits. At Mon Cupri geological confidence is moderate in the lower zinc zone and the stringer/feeder zone where grade distributions are more erratic and data density is lower. Cut-off grades were determined using log probability plots. The high grade zone wireframes were interpreted using a 0.8% Cu and 2% Zn cut-off. At Mons Cupri the stinger/feeder zone was interpreted using 0.2% Cu cut-off.

9 Dimensions At Mons Cupri the high grade stratabound zone measures ~300 metres (NW) by 160 metres (NE). It is approximately 30 metres thick and dips to the west at 30 degrees. The stringer feeder zone measures 350 metres (EW), 150 metres (down dip) and is generally 30 metres thick. At Whim Creek.the ore body measures ~500 metres (EW) by ~100 metres (NS). It averages 8 metres in thickness and dips ~30 degrees to the north.

Estimation and The block models and estimations were conducted using Vulcan 8.0 software. The block Modelling Techniques model had a parent cell measuring 10 metres (X axis), 10 metres (Y) and 3 metres (Z) with sub-cells of 2 metres (X), 2 metres (Y), 0.5 metres (Z). This block size is appropriate given an average drill spacing of 20 metres. The estimation was performed using ordinary kriging. Search ellipse parameters were derived from variograms using Snowden Supervisor software. Top cuts were determined using log probability plots. At Mons Cupri a top cut of 4g/t Au and 2% Pb was used in the high grade domain and top cuts of 4% Zn and 1.5% Pb were used in the copper stringer/feeder zone. At Whim Creek top cuts of 15% Cu and 20% Pb were used in the transitional zone. The estimations were validated against original composite grades, by section and globally.

Moisture Tonnages are estimated on a dry basis. Moisture content in ore is expected to be very low.

Bulk Density For the Mons Cupri deposit assigned average specific gravity (SG) values were used in the resource estimation: 2.3 g/cm3 for oxide waste (based on historical determinations), 2.8 g/cm3 for fresh waste, 2.9 g/cm3 for the stringer/feeder zone, 3.0 g/cm3 for the high grade copper zone and 3.2 g/cm3 for the high grade zinc zone. SG was determined by the water immersion technique on drill core. For the Whim Creek deposit assigned specific gravity (SG) values were used in the resource estimation based on historical determinations: 2.67 g/cm3 for oxide material, 2.76 g/cm3 for transitional and fresh waste, 2.79 g/cm3 for transitional ore and 2.91 g/cm3 for fresh ore.

Classification Classifications into Inferred, Indicated and Measured categories are based on a combination of average weighted distance from sample points, variography, drill density and geological confidence.

Cu Eq Calculation The Cu Eq (Copper Equivalent) calculation is based on metal values and relative process recoveries (see below). Based on metallurgical recoveries and projected concentrate grades, the Company believes that revenue will be received for each of these metals. The Cu Eq formula used in this report is as follows: Cu Eq = Cu% + Zn% x 0.28 + Pb% x 0.26 + Ag(ppm) x 0.008 + Au(ppm) x 0.513

Mons Cupri and Whim Creek Ore Reserve Parameters

Status of scoping Venturex Resources Limited (the Company) is currently conducting a Scoping Study into studies the development of a base metals operation centred on the established Whim Creek Mining Leases (M47/236, M47/237, M47/238, M47/443, M47/323, M47/324). The Study is based on feasibility studies previously conducted by Straits Resources Limited from 2004 to 2008. Previous work includes resource/reserve estimation, open pit and underground mine design, metallurgical test work, mill design and costing and environmental and social impacts. The Company is of the view that a substantial component of the Mons Cupri and Whim Creek Mineral Resource can be converted to Ore Reserves because there is a reasonable expectation that an economically-viable development will proceed and additional approvals, licences and contracts will be received or modified. The Whim Creek site includes substantial mining infrastructure, including crusher, workshops, water bores, power distribution systems, accommodation and haul roads.

Net Smelter Return The Probable Ore Reserves was estimated using a Net Smelter Return estimate on a Cost, Insurance and Freight (CIF) basis and incorporating commercial factors relating to: • Metal prices o Copper US$6612/t; Zinc US$1983/t; Lead US$1983/t; Silver US$18/oz; Gold US$1200/oz • Flotation recoveries to copper, zinc and lead sulphide concentrates: o Copper 92%; Zinc 85%; Lead 80%, o 95% Ag and 90% Au (split between Cu, Zn and Pb concentrates) • Smelter terms o Copper conc: 1% deduction; 97% payable o Zinc conc: 8% deduction; 97% payable o Lead conc: 3% deduction; 97% payable o Au and Ag: variable • Foreign exchange (A$1.0 = US$0.89) • Haulage, shipping and loading (via Port Hedland) A$70/t • Treatment and refining charges o Copper US$50/t concentrate; US$.05/lb o Zinc US$240/t concentrate; US$.05/lb o Lead US$160/t concentrate; US$.075/lb

10 o Silver US$0.5/oz o Gold US$5.0/oz • State Royalty 5%

Market Assessment The Company has conducted extensive evaluations of demand, supply and stock situations for copper, zinc, lead and the precious metal by-products. The metal values used in the optimization are considered reasonable in the context of consensus demand/supply outlook.

Site Costs Fixed & variable processing charge = $43.3/t (assuming a milling rate of 600,000t per annum)

Cut-off parameters The economic cut-off grade based on the estimated NSR, mining costs and site processing costs is 0.85% Cu Eq for both Mons Cupri and Whim Creek.

Dilution Mining dilution is considered to be incorporated into block grade estimates because of the smearing effect of ordinary kriging. In subsequent feasibility studies, specific dilution parameters will be determined for the edges of the ore domains, but given the thickness and continuity of mineralisation and gradational ore contacts on the lower margins, net dilution is expected to be minimal.
