    Great to see them start work on the copper/Nickle targets, hopefully market wakes up to the area potential they have

    YOUANMI BASE METALS PROJECT
    VIDURE COPPER‐ NICKEL PROSPECT
    HIGH POWERED ELECTROMAGNETIC SURVEY COMMENCES AT VIDURE

    Great to see them start copper/Nickle exploration, hopefully market wakes up to the area potential they have

    The Directors of Venus Metals Corporation Limited ("Venus") are pleased to advise that a high
    powered fixed‐loop electromagnetic (FLEM) survey has commenced at the Company's Vidure
    Copper‐Nickel Prospect on E57/1011 (Figure 1).

    The Vidure prospect is part of the Company's Youanmi Base Metals Project and is within the
    Youanmi tenement holdings. The Youanmi area includes a variety of mineralisation styles and
    commodities including gold, silver, copper‐zinc, titanium‐vanadium and nickel‐copper‐PGEs.
    The base metals project on E57/1011 is 90% owned by Venus with the remaining 10% owned
    by the Prospector.

    The Vidure prospect was identified as a Ni‐Cu‐PGE geochemical anomaly located on the
    southern margin of the Youanmi layered mafic intrusion. Base metals mineralisation was first
    identified by WMC in 1973 in the historical diamond hole MYDD0041 (WMC 1973) with a
    1.22m intersection of massive sulphides with 2.2% Ni and 0.14% Cu from 135m. In 1985,
    BHP drilled a hole nearby, PW00762 and encountered 8m @ 1.47% Cu, 0.13%Ni and 5
    g/t Ag from 120.5m, including 0.71m @ 7.01% Cu, 0.8% Ni and 21 g/t Ag from
    122.35m (refer VMC ASX releases 2 November 2015 & 11 December 2015).


    The current EM survey has been commissioned to follow up on historical EM surveys which
    were conducted with low‐powered systems resulting in poorly constrained deeper targets
    that appear to represent potential down‐dip and down‐plunge extensions of the known
    mineralisation highlighted in VMC ASX release dated 11 December 2015.


    The new high‐powered EM survey is to be conducted by Vortex Geophysics using their VTX‐
    100 transmitter capable of an output of 100A, employing low‐base frequencies. This
    represents a significant power increase on previous surveys which employed 20A transmitters
    and were conducted using higher base frequencies of 2Hz‐5Hz. The expected depth of
    penetration will be in the region of 500m.
    The survey comprises two fixed loops to cover the previously identified, poorly constrained
    anomalies with 100m spaced survey lines and readings at 25m spacings (Figure 2). The survey
    is expected to take approximately one week to complete with the results to be modelled by
    the Company's consultant geophysicist; immediate RC drilling of a revised potential target
    plate is planned.
