Amendment To Sandstone Gold Project: Updated Resource Bellchambers Deposit

Venus Metals Corporation Limited (“Venus” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the results of recent reverse circulation (RC) drilling at the Bellchambers Gold Deposit (90% VMC), located in the Western Australian Goldfields approximately 70 km northeast from the Youanmi Gold Project.


HIGHLIGHTS:

  • New JORC2012 gold resource estimate is 722,000 tonnes @ 1.31 g/t Au for 30,500 ounces, with 22,100 ounces classified in the indicated mineral resource category.
  • Increase of 35% in tonnes and 40% in ounces at 0.5 g/t Au cut-off (compared to the previous resource reported in 2020).

Bellchambers JORC 2012 Resource Summary

  • Mineralised zone traced to a vertical depth of 175m below surface; the deposit remains open at depth.
  • Gold intersections from the recent drilling programme include:
    • BCRC141; 34m @ 1.25 g/t Au from 160m incl 11m @2.93 g/t Au;
      1m @ 9.47 g/t Au from 178m
    • BCRC142; 25m @ 1.19 g/t Au from 86m incl 4m @ 2.06 g/t Au,
    • BCRC143; 17m @ 1.16 g/t Au from 155m incl 4m @ 2.12 g/t Au,
  • Exploration at Bellchambers is ongoing and studies will be instigated, Venus has agreed with Rox Resources Ltd to negotiate a mine gate sale agreement for the Bellchambers deposit on a best endeavours basis (subject to certain conditions, see ASX release 31 March 2023).

The recent drilling programme (refer ASX release 21 February 2023) specifically targeted the depth continuation of the up to 30m wide and steeply plunging core of the southern mineralised domain outlined in the Bellchambers 2020 resource model (refer ASX release 25 September 2020). It also included a single hole drilled at the Range View gold prospect (Table 4). All three Bellchambers drill holes intersected significant zones of gold mineralisation (Table 5) that spatially are in good agreement with the projected down-plunge continuation of the 2020 resource model, extending the vertical depth of known mineralisation from about 100m to 175m from surface. These very encouraging results allowed for a significant increase in calculated mineral resource for the Bellchambers gold deposit.

California Touts US$540 Billion Salton Sea Lithium Discovery

Scientists have discovered an estimated US$540 billion worth of lithium beneath California’s Salton Sea, a finding that could reshape the global energy market and reduce US reliance on foreign lithium supply.

The Salton Sea, located in Southern California’s Imperial County, has long been considered an environmental concern due to its receding shoreline and rising air pollution.

Now, researchers funded by the US Department of Energy have confirmed the area holds approximately 18 million metric tons of lithium — far more than previous estimates of 4 million metric tons.

Top 5 Canadian Lithium Stocks of 2025

The lithium market continued to battle headwinds during the first quarter of 2025 as residual oversupply weighed on prices, pushing them to a four year low.

Weaker-than-expected demand to start the year also added pressure to the oversupplied market, resulting in the lithium carbonate CIF North Asia price to fall below US$9,550 per metric ton, its lowest point since 2021.

Analysts have suggested the persistent downturn is the signaling of a market bottom. This theory is further supported by a projected production reduction that will help absorb market oversupply.

Funding the Energy Transition: The Role of Public and Private Finance in Building Supply Chains

The energy transition demands substantial funding as participants look to build out infrastructure and supply chains, but experts say new solutions are emerging to help navigate this landscape.

During the "Financing the Energy Transition" panel at the Benchmark Summit, participants discussed the role of government and public sector investment, as well as the outlook for Canada's electric vehicle (EV) supply chain.

Moderated by Adam Webb, head of battery raw materials at Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, the discussion at the Toronto-based event opened with a snapshot of Canada’s EV battery supply chain buildout.
