Venture Minerals Limited (ASX:VMS) and Chalice Mining Limited (ASX:CHN) update on their Thor Project Joint Venture
The EM program is part of the first stage of the JV earn-in where Chalice Mining Limited (ASX:CHN) can earn up to 70% by spending $3.7 million on exploration over 4 years.
Only around 1/3 of the total planned 42-line km MLEM program has been completed to date as wet weather has been causing delays.
Andrew Radonjic, Managing Director of Venture Minerals Limited (ASX:VMS) shares with Noel Ong, CEO of Samso what has been happening with the search for Julimar. They caught up over Rooster Talk Episode 43.
Let's see some rocks
Mr. Radonjic sheds some insight on the following:
Update on the Thor project
What the EM anomalies mean in terms of the prospectivity of the project
Why Kulin fits in well with the Thor project
Thor is not a nearology play but is made of real exploration results
The unique nature of the drill and geophysical results that were generated by Venture Minerals is strong evidence that fits the Julimar style mineralisation. The stage is set for the drill rigs of the project to see some rocks.
What is also exciting about the company's project is it is sitting on a new frontier that is ripe for new discoveries which have been previously neglected due to commodity pricing, funding and market appreciation of these areas.
Encouraged by early success
“Venture is extremely encouraged by the success of the early work done by our JV partners Chalice Mining on our South West Project,” said Andrew Radonjic, Managing Director of Venture Minerals Limited.
“The ground EM program, though only one third complete, has already yielded new EM anomalies with one sitting adjacent to a previously drilled hole containing significant disseminated sulphides with elevated PGE levels.
“The majority of the Thor ‘Julimar lookalike’ target that already hosts several airborne EM anomalies is yet to be tested by Chalice’s EM program and the company looks forward to results from this work and potential follow up drill testing in the near future.”

About Venture Minerals Limited
Venture Minerals Ltd (ASX: VMS) is entering an exciting phase as it looks to move from explorer to producer with production at the Riley Iron Ore Mine in northwest Tasmania. At the neighbouring Mount Lindsay Tin-Tungsten Project, higher Tin prices and the recognition of Tin as a fundamental metal to the battery revolution has refocused Venture’s approach to developing Mount Lindsay. Already one of the world's largest undeveloped Tin-Tungsten deposits, the Company has commissioned an Underground Scoping Study on Mount Lindsay that will leverage off the previously completed feasibility work.
In Western Australia, Chalice Mining (ASX: CHN) recently committed to spending up to $3.7m in Venture’s South West Project, to advance previous exploration completed by Venture to test a Julimar lookalike Nickel-Copper-PGE target.
At the Company’s Golden Grove North Project, it has already intersected up to 7% Zinc, 1.3% Copper and 2.1g/t Gold at Orcus and has identified several strong EM conductors currently being drill tested which are situated along the 5km long VMS (Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide) Target Zone, along strike to the world class Golden Grove Zinc-Copper-Gold Mine. Venture has recently completed a maiden drill program designed to bring forward a potential new gold discovery at the Kulin Project.
