Venturex Resources Limited advised that it continues to make strong progress towards securing finance for the development of its 100%-owned Sulphur Springs Copper-Zinc Project in Western Australia's Pilbara region. Following the completion of an updated Definitive Feasibility Study in October last year, the company is rapidly progressing multiple work-streams which are expected to underpin its transition to the development phase at Sulphur Springs this year, positioning it to take advantage of the strong medium and long-term outlook for copper and zinc markets. Exploration update: The company's exploration team is undertaking preliminary works prior to re-commencing exploration activities following the conclusion of the Pilbara wet season. Stage two exploration activities are scheduled to begin at the Breakers Prospect, located ~12km south of Sulphur Springs along the Panorama VMS trend, during first quarter of 2019 with the company commissioning a heritage survey to be completed over the prospect. It is anticipated that the successful conclusion of this survey will allow the company's geologists to complete the additional earthworks required to access the higher priority areas for further targeted drill testing. The geological understanding at the Breakers prospect also continues to evolve. A recently completed structural interpretation by the company's geological team has identified a potential shear zone at the prospect which is interpreted to have significant control on the massive sulphide mineralisation. The improved geological model has considerably enhanced the company's understanding of the geological setting at the Breakers Prospect, and may provide vectors to additional zones of VMS sulphide mineralisation.
