New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Australian stocks, typically moving 14% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks High level of non-cash earnings (42% accrual ratio). Revenue is less than US$1m (AU$311k revenue, or US$223k).

Venus Metals Corporation Limited Provides Sandstone Gold Exploration Update Venus Metals Corporation Limited announced that the Company has completed field work involving mapping, rock chip sampling and preparation for an upcoming reverse circulation (RC) drilling programme and bottle-roll analysis. The Bellchambers gold deposit, owned 90% by Venus comprises a gold deposit totaling 722,000 t @ 1.31 g/t Au (30,500 ounces) located within E57/984, approximately 70 kilometres northeast of the Youanmi Gold Project, being progressed by Rox Resources. Highlights: Encouraging initial results from bottle-roll analysis of composite samples from previous VMC drilling. Results ranged from 86.3 to 92.0% recovery for the oxide samples, 81.9 to 95.6% for the transition and 75 to 90.1% for the fresh samples. Collection of 51 rock chip samples, mapping of the potential strike extensions of Bellchambers. The rock chip sampling returned 5 samples above 0.5 g/t Au with a maximum value of 2.19 g/t Au and highlighted several areas considered prospective for the identification of additional gold mineralisation. Anomalous gold mineralisation identified 1.5 kilometres northeast of the Bellchambers deposit and south - south east of Bellchambers previously described as Georgina-Rainbow trend highlighting the additional potential in this area. Additional work will be focused on understanding the controls on the gold mineralisation and further mapping to identify new target areas. A total of 14-16 reverse circulation holes in and around the Bellchambers deposit is planned to convert inferred and indicated mineralisation to a higher category an additional 26 exploration holes within the tenement area are planned to test for additional gold mineralisation outside of the existing gold resource. The RC drill program of approximately 2000 metres planned for late April is expected to take 2 weeks to complete with assays results due in the following month. Project Background The Sandstone Gold Project lies within tenement E57/984 (125 km2; 90% VMC). The Bellchambers mining area, is located about 23 km southwest of the town of Sandstone and is 70km by road northeast from the Youanmi Gold Project being developed by Rox Resources Ltd. Historical reported gold production from Bellchambers is 3,688 ounces of gold from 5,620 tonnes of ore at an average grade of 21 g/t gold. Gold mineralisation at Bellchambers deposit and the adjacent Range View prospect, is hosted within a northeasterly trending and steeply dipping sequence of sheared sulphide-rich sediments and mafic rocks, interlayered with thin chert and Banded Iron Formation (BIF). The total Indicated and Inferred Resource for Bellchambers is reported at 0.5 gm/t Au and 1.0 gm/t Au cutoffs and is summarised below. An advanced gold prospect named Range View is located approximately 1.1 kilometres northeast and along strike of Bellchambers within a new mining lease application with previous VMC drill results including: BCRC120 11m @ 4.69 g/t Au from 12m Including 1m @ 38.92 g/t Au from 20m. BCRC122 8m @ 1.22 g/t Au from 30m Including 1m @ 4.48 g/t Au from 30m. This is an obvious exploration area along strike from Bellchambers, with clear potential to outline additional gold mineralisation within the mining lease application. A mine gate sale agreement between Venus and Rox Resources Ltd. provides a potential treatment option for the Bellchambers deposit. The samples from BCRC 106 and BCRC107 were compiled into 3 mineralised zones categorised as Oxide, Transition and Fresh and were submitted. Results ranged from 86.to 92.0% recovery for the oxide samples, 81.9 to 95.6% for the transition and 75 to 90.1% for the fresh samples. A large sample from the upcoming drill program will be collected and compiled for a comprehensive metallurgical test program to accurately understand likely recoveries of Bellchambers.

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 3.4% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks High level of non-cash earnings (225% accrual ratio). Revenue is less than US$1m (AU$34k revenue, or US$22k). Market cap is less than US$10m (AU$13.7m market cap, or US$8.93m). Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (17% average weekly change).

New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: AU$14.4m (US$9.58m) This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks High level of non-cash earnings (1,667% accrual ratio). Revenue is less than US$1m (AU$50k revenue, or US$33k).

New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: AU$4.4m This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 35% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m (AU$19k revenue, or US$12k).

Venus Metals Corporation Limited Provides Exploration Update Venus Metals Corporation Limited announce the results of RC drilling programs at its Pincher Well Zinc-Copper Prospect in E 57/1019 that is part of the Youanmi Base Metals Project (100% Venus), and Henderson Lithium-Gold-Nickel Project, both located in the Goldfields Province of Western Australia. The recent RC drilling tested EM and IP targets at the Pincher Dome volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) system that hosts several known zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) prospects and that had not been adequately tested by Venus' previous vertical drilling (maximum depth of 130m). In total, 13 holes for 1,980m were completed targeting three areas. A historical strong induced polarization (IP) anomaly, located south of previously drilled high-grade Zn mineralisation, e.g., in hole VPW40: 10m @ 7.31% Zn from 52 m including 6m @ 9.5% Zn from 55 m. RC drilling along two east-west traverses, 6,821,331N and 6,821,531N, intersected 20m @ 1.2% Zn, 0.38% lead (Pb) and 0.17 g/t gold (Au) from 68m depth in RC hole VMC058; one-meter analyses are pending. Holes VMC049 and VMC055 did not reach their respective target depths due to very strong ground water flow and diamond drilling is planned to test the centre of the IP anomaly along traverse 6,821,330N. Hole VMC VMC054 intersected strong gold mineralization from surface in the laterite zone with an interval of 9m @ 15.6 g/t Au including 3m @ 35.2 g/t Au from 1m. These results demonstrate the prospectivity of the Pincher VMS system. The historical electromagnetic (EM) conductor PWC03, located southeast of North Dome, was tested 60 m along strike to the south from previous drilling. RC hole VMC036 intersected sulphide mineralization between 124-144m depth and at the approximate location of the modelled EM conductor plate. The sulphide mineralization hosts an interval of 12m @ 2.22% Zn, 0.15% Cu and 0.1 g/t Au from 128 m depth; one-meter analyses are pending. Three RC holes, VMC037, VMC038 and VMC040, tested a historical EM conductor, PWC12, that coincides with a gravity anomaly and that has remained untested at depth. The holes intersected steeply west dipping sulphide mineralization between 80-120m vertical depth with the best Zn interval of 4m @ 0.94% Zn from 96m depth in hole VMC037. A hole drilled beneath this intersection, VMC040, did not encounter significant mineralization. PWC16 was not tested at this stage due to logistical reasons. Follow up RC drilling and field investigations are warranted at the Linda Gossan Prospect targeting high grade gold mineralization associated with gossanous chert horizons and felsic schist bedrock units. At the IP anomaly south of the Pincher North Dome, diamond drill tails are planned to extend two of the recent RC holes and to enable downhole EM surveying. Tillkännagivande • Oct 04

Venus Metals Corporation Announces Results of Reconnaissance Soil and Laterite Sampling Programs on its Tenement E15/1796 Located in East of Marvel Loch Venus Metals Corporation Limited (‘Venus’ or the ‘Company’) announced the results of reconnaissance soil and laterite sampling programs on its tenement E15/1796 (in the name of Redscope Enterprises Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Venus) located ~60 km east of Marvel Loch. Project background: Venus' Marvel Loch East Rare Earth Project is comprised of one granted exploration licence (E15/1796) and four applications (ELAs 15/1944, 15/1946, 15/1947 and 77/2721) for a total area of 283 blocks (828 km2). As part of a regional reconnaissance exploration program, Venus has completed systematic soil sampling on E15/1796 at 400 x 400 m spacing for 273 samples, and 100 x 100 m spaced infill sampling (319 samples) across one target area (Target D). A total of 49 rock-chip and laterite samples were taken to complement the soil survey. Anomalies in REE are defined in soil, laterite, and rock chips along the ~25 km strike length of the arcuate aeromagnetic high in the west and across an oval shaped magnetic feature (~3 x 4 km) in the east of E15/1796. Maxima for TREO in soil and laterite (ferruginous gravel) are 6,092 ppm and 700 ppm, respectively, in the ultrafine fraction in area D. The arcuate and ovoid aeromagnetic highs within granite terrain of E15/1796 are suggestive of a different bedrock type. The aeromagnetic features were previously interpreted as potential remnant greenstone. GSWA rock-chip samples 207529, 207527, and 207526, characterized as monzogranite, are located within E15/1796. Two of these rock-chip samples have anomalous TREO concentrations of 935 ppm and 765 ppm. Venus rock chip sample 22056540A has visible REE mineralization and a TREO concentration of 1,407 ppm. These results, which are up to ~7 times the average crustal abundance for TREO (Taylor & McLennan, 1995), indicate that bedrock in the project area is anomalous in REE. Venus considers the REE-enriched bedrock as a potential REE source for residual enrichment within the regolith during weathering, a process that may have led to the formation of clay-hosted REE mineralization. So far, only surface samples have been analyzed and there is scope for heavy REE (HREE) enrichment at depth in the weathering profile. Clay-hosted REE deposits may have higher HREE concentrations closer to the bedrock (Li et al., 2017). Historical RAB and AC drilling (targeting gold and base metals) by Dominion Mining Ltd. (Wamex report A70400) and Image Resources NL (Wamex report A75297) to depths of up to ~40 m in E15/1796 indicates the residual weathering profile is preserved between areas of outcrop. This is considered favorable for the formation of in-situ clay-hosted REE mineralization. Future Work: Venus is planning an immediate field mapping program to investigate the regolith settings followed by a shallow AC drilling program to test areas of deep weathering and preserved regolith for clay- hosted REE mineralization. Petrography work is planned to understand the genesis and nature of the REE mineralization. Field studies and data interpretation will be carried out by rare earth specialist consultants from RSC who are also involved with the Company's Mangaroon REE Project. Reported Earnings • Sep 30

Venus Metals Corporation Limited Announces Mangaroon Rare Earth Project Multiple Priority Targets Venus Metals Corporation Limited announced the delineation of multiple priority targets at Mangaroon North based on processed remote-sensed ASTER and Sentinel data, geology and regolith maps, ortho-images, and radiometric data. Venus Metals is well positioned with four tenements (E08/3229, E08/3375, E09/2422, and E09/2451) located adjacent to Mangaroon-Yangibana rare earth (REE) mineralised zone. Venus's E09/2541 abuts Hastings Technology Metals Ltd. (HAS) Yangibana tenement, Dreadnought Resources Ltd. (DRE) Yin tenement and Lanthanein Resources Ltd. (LNR) tenement. The other three ELs (E08/3229, E09/2422 and ELA08/3755) all abut Dreadnought's tenure. Venus's Mangaroon North project tenements are considered prospective for REE due to the following: Same host lithologies as Yin and Yangibana are present within Venus' tenements. Geological continuity from Yin and Yangibana along the regional northwest strike. Linear and circular structures along major northwest-trending trans-lithospheric faults, including the Edmund Fault, intersect Venus' tenements. These faults are interpreted to have acted as pathways for carbonatitic or ferrocarbonatitic melts or brine-melts. Proven ironstones in the carbonatite complex have distinct signatures in ASTER and Sentinel maps. Presence of ironstones and K, Th, and U anomalies in all Venus tenements. High-priority targets have anomalies (Figures 2-3) in multiple techniques. A field programme of mapping and sampling is scheduled to commence in the second week of September 2022 to evaluate the multiple targets. Board Change • Aug 01

Venus Metals Corporation Limited Announces the Start of Phase 2 Reverse Circulation (RC) Drilling at its Henderson Project Venus Metals Corporation Limited announced the start of Phase 2 Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling at its Henderson Project, located ca. 50km northwest of Menzies in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. The drilling will test the depth extension and potential spatial zonation of LCT pegmatites identified from outcrop mapping and sampling, with noticeably Lithium- rich pegmatites present at the Emerald SE Prospect (Maximum 5.8 % LiO2). The RC drilling will also test encouraging gold anomalies intersected in the Phase 1 aircore (AC) drilling programme, including 7m @ 1.13 g/t Au at the Emerald S Prospect. The Henderson Project comprises five exploration licences covering an approximately 800 km2 area. The current drilling is focussed on tenement E30/520 (90% Venus, 10% Prospector) which covers about 25km strike length of the Mt Ida/Ularring Greenstone Belt, historically known for its gold production but more recently also recognised as an emerging Lithium Province following the discovery of spodumene-rich pegmatites near the Mt Ida gold Mine, located some 15km northwest from the Henderson Project area.

Venus Metals Corporation Limited Provides Update on Recent Exploration Activities at its Youanmi Base Metals & Lithium Projects Venus Metals Corporation Limited provided an update on recent exploration activities at its Youanmi Base Metals & Lithium Projects, located 600km northnortheast of Perth, WA. Aircore Drilling Results: An interpretation of regional aeromagnetic data by Consultant CORE Geophysics identified several structural targets and prospective lithologies on E 57/1128, some 4km east of Ramelius Resources Limited's Penny Gold Mine; Reconnaissance aircore (AC) drilling comprising 1,200m in 46 holes was completed on E 57/1128, E 57/1103, E 57/1129 and E 57/1156. The program tested geochemical anomalies and structural targets. Widespaced drilling on E 57/1128 confirmed the presence of sheared maficultramafic bedrock under cover. The presence of maficultramafic rocks (hole VMAC096) along an eastsoutheast trending structure that splays off the Youanmi Shear Zone close to the Penny Gold Mine make this trend prospective for gold and base metals mineralization; closespaced AC/RC drilling is planned across the maficultramafic stratigraphy to explore for Pennystyle gold mineralization. Anomalous rare earth elements (REE) were detected in several holes with a maximum of 3770 ppm lanthanum + cerium + yttrium combined in a 3 meter interval at the bottom of hole VMAC091 and further assaying for the full suite of rare earths is underway. Regional Soil Survey: Results of a regional geochemical reconnaissance survey using fine soil and handheld XRF analysis (PXRF) show anomalous chromium and nickel concentrations on E 57/1078 along magnetic features, suggesting more widespread maficultramafic bedrock than previously interpreted. Followup sampling and analysis of precious metals in the fine soil is planned. Fusion digest reassays of previous PXRF results confirm lithium anomalies at the Manindi North historical pegmatite occurrences with RC drilling beneath shallow historical holes planned asap.

Venus Metals Corporation Limited Provides Update on Its Lithium Exploration At the Henderson Tenements Located in the Central Section of the Mt Ida/Ularring Greenstone Belt Venus Metals Corporation Limited provided an update on its Lithium exploration at the Henderson tenements located in the central section of the Mt Ida/Ularring Greenstone Belt, ca. 50km northwest of Menzies in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. The VMC tenements are located directly south from and abut the Mt Ida LithiumCopperGold project (Red Dirt Metals; RDT). Following the identification of LCT pegmatites at Henderson, assay results for a further 89 rock samples have been received with 29 pegmatite samples reporting over 100 ppm LiO2 and maximum returns of 5.8 %LiO2 and 3.6 %LiO2 respectively. The two high Lithium assays are from the previously reported pegmatites at the Emerald SE Prospect which, from outcrop mapping and sampling, has been identified as a priority area for drilling. A Reverse Circulation (RC) drill rig has been contracted to test areas prospective for lithium and will also followup gold targets identified from Stage 1 aircore drilling. Exploration during First Quarter 2022 focussed on tenement E30/520 and included detailed sampling and mapping of outcropping pegmatites, utilising georeferenced drone imagery. Exploration to date has identified several outcropping pegmatite clusters spread over a total strike length of some 20km along the western margin of the Mt Ida/Ularring Greenstone Belt and proximal to the Ida Fault. Of particular interest is the Emerald SE area which shows a high density of outcropping pegmatites with elevated lithium content. The next phase of exploration will be drilltesting of prospective pegmatites to identify any possible spatial zonation in rareelement chemistry within the pegmatite fields, as has been reported for this class of LCT pegmatites globally (Bradley and McCauley, 2016). A RC drill rig has been contracted and is scheduled to commence drilling at Henderson in June 2022. Tillkännagivande • May 24
Venus Metals Corporation Limited Announces RC Drilling Commenced At Youanmi Pincher Zn-Cu Prospect Venus Metals Corporation Limited announced the start of a 2,500 m RC drilling program at its Pincher Well ZincCopper Prospect that is part of the Youanmi Base Metals Project, located 600km northnortheast of Perth, WA. Highlights: Reverse circulation (RC) drilling is targeting a historical strong induced polarization (IP) anomaly that is located south of previously drilled highgrade zinc (Zn) mineralisation, e.g., in hole VPW40: 10m @ 7.31% Zn from 52 m including 6m @ 9.5% Zn from 55 m. The IP anomaly is in the southern part of the Pincher Dome volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) system that hosts several known Zn and copper (Cu) prospects and that has not been adequately tested by Venus' previous vertical drilling (maximum depth of 130m). The VMSprospective Pincher area was covered by an airborne EM survey as part of the greater Youanmi survey that highlighted a late channel anomaly coincident with the mineralised envelope at Pincher Well. The EM response is interpreted to be due to sulphiderich sediments with potentially higher concentrations of chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite. RC drilling will also test two historical electromagnetic (EM) conductors (PWC12 & PWC16) with coincident gravity anomalies that have remained untested at depth. Venus considers these anomalies prospective for CuZn VMS mineralization. A third historical EM conductor, PWC03, located southeast of North Dome may not have been adequately tested along strike by previous drilling and will be drilled as part of the current RC program.

Venus Metals Corporation Limited Announces That Critical Mineral Vanadium Deposited At Youanmi Patent Lodged Venus Metals Corporation Limited presented the results of a comprehensive hydrometallurgical study to develop an integrated process flow sheet for the extraction of vanadium, iron and titanium, conducted by the Hydrometallurgy Research Group (HRG) at Murdoch University, Western Australia. Highlights: Venus owns (90%) a unique open pit vanadium oxide resource of world-scale at Youanmi in the Midwest region of Western Australia. The resource has the potential to be a significant supplier to the world vanadium market particularly for the emerging renewable battery energy needs. Tests show blended composite raw material grading 0.66% V2O5 and 44.38% Fe2O3 can be upgraded by a simple concentrate process to 1.07% V2O5 and 65.3% Fe2O3 (Hematite). Reductive roast followed by low temperature acid leaching achieves a recovery of 80% vanadium (V) and 80% of iron (Fe). Low acid consumption is achieved after a 70% acid recovery by a new process. A provisional patent application for the Youanmi oxide ore process has been lodged and accepted with IP Australia. Work Planned: Techno-economic assessment of the beneficiation-leaching and recovery workflow (in progress). Pilot plant study to be conducted at Murdoch Universities' Kwinana industrial facility, planned commencing in 2022. Critical Mineral grant application. Feasibility study targeting low capital and operating costs. Background: Venus' Youanmi Vanadium deposit is located on the exploration licence 57/986 (198.5 km), approximately 40km southeast of the very substantial vanadium deposit at Windimurra. The Youanmi Vanadium deposit has good access to major infrastructure such as gas pipeline and roads. Venus holds a 90% interest, and a prospector holds a 10% interest in this tenement. The study was undertaken on ore from four RC drill holes spanning an area around 400 m wide in the Youanmi deposit. The samples were characterized separately and then blended to produce a composite which was used for the majority of the testwork. The blended composite grades were 0.66% V2O5 and 44.38% Fe2O3. Different beneficiation options were evaluated to reject reagent consuming gangue components. Grades of 1.07% V2O5 and 65.3% Fe2O3 were produced. The best extractions for vanadium (80%) and iron (80%) were obtained using low-temperature acid leach following reductive roast leaches. Low acid consumption was recorded, 151 kg/t and 236 kg/t (7 and 24 hours respectively). Around 72% sulfuric acid was extracted from the leach liquor by a proprietary process. Purified vanadium was produced by separation of the titanium using iron as a reductant. Further test work is planned to quantify vanadium pentoxide from the leach liquor produced. Results from this research together with the outcomes of the previous research will form the basis for the design and operation of a pilot plant study, proposed to start in 2022.

Venus Metals Corporation Limited Provides Update on Its Review into the Hard-Rock Lithium Potential of the Henderson Tenements Located in the Central Section of the Mt Ida/Ularring Greenstone Belt, ca. 50Km Northwest of Menzies in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia Venus Metals Corporation Limited provided an update on its review into the hard-rock Lithium potential of the Henderson tenements located in the central section of the Mt Ida/Ularring Greenstone Belt, ca. 50km northwest of Menzies in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. The VMC tenements are located directly south from and abut the Mt Ida Lithium-Copper-Gold project (Red Dirt Metals; RDT). Outcropping LCT-Type pegmatites identified on tenement E30/520. The prospective pegmatites are noticeably enriched in Tantalum and Niobium (max 426 ppm Ta2O5; max 392 ppm Nb2O5) with many showing elevated Lithium compositions with a maximum of 3.5% Li2O. The sampled Ta-Nb enriched pegmatites are considered to be part of zoned LCT pegmatite swarms and exploration is ongoing to identify more extensive Lithium-rich end members. The positive results from the reconnaissance sampling programme warrant an accelerated and more focussed exploration effort that will include detailed surface sampling/mapping and RC drill testing of identified fractionated pegmatites. VMC has completed an assessment of available drilling data and received assay results for 143 rock samples that were collected during sampling of outcropping granitoids/pegmatites and greenstone host rocks on tenements E30/520 and E29/1112. The Mt Ida/Ularring Greenstone Belt is recognised as an emerging Lithium Province following the discovery of spodumene-rich Lithium pegmatites near the Mt Ida gold Mine, located some 15 km northwest from the Henderson Project (Refer RDT ASX releases 28 September 2021, 14 October 2021). To assess the Lithium potential of the Henderson tenements VMC initiated a reconnaissance sampling programme in October 2021 that targeted outcropping pegmatites and host rocks on tenements E30/520 and E29/1112, covering the greenstone sequence and granitoids east of the Ballard Fault respectively. A total of 143 rock chip samples were collected and send to Jinning and Nagrom laboratories in Perth for analysis with an emphasis on Lithium and associated elements. Assay results from the reconnaissance sampling programme show a concentration of Tantalum and Niobium enriched pegmatites within the greenstones on tenement E30/520. Using the Nb/Ta ratio as an indicator for granite fractionation and LCT prospectivity (Steiner, 2019) 51 pegmatite samples can be described as fractionated (Nb/Ta<5) and 13 samples from the Emerald SE, Snake Hill, and 38 Mile Well areas as strongly fractionated (Nb/Ta<1). A spatial zonation of rare-element mineralogy can be expected in this class of pegmatites and a key focus for the next phase of exploration will therefore be the drill testing of the Lithium pegmatite at Emerald SE and the testing for potential Lithium mineralisation beneath and down-dip from the tantalum bearing pegmatites. A possible geological analogue can be found at the Bald Hills Lithium Deposit, located 100km southeast from Kalgoorlie, where the southern section of this overall gently dipping deposit is characterised by several thick Lithium-Tantalum pegmatite sills that occur below narrow Tantalum enriched pegmatite dykes (Refer TAW ASX release 9 April 2017). Review of Drilling Data: Limited historic drilling that targeted gold or nickel did regularly intersect pegmatite bodies but no assay data for Lithium or Tantalum were reported. Drilling data for LCT elements is restricted to multi-element assays that VMC collected for bottom-of-hole samples as part of Stage 1 aircore drilling for gold (Refer ASX release 9 September 2021). A review of this data identified a strongly anomalous Li intersection (0.35 % LiO2) in vertical hole HNBAC010, drilled to top of fresh rock at 22m depth. The location of this hole is 600m south and along strike from the Emerald SE pegmatite occurrences in an area of poor outcrop. The Lithium anomaly is interpreted to relate to hydrothermally altered ultramafic rocks but may be an indication for a lithium enriched pegmatite source at depth and highlights the exploration potential of the Emerald SE area. Further Work: An accelerated exploration programme is planned for First Quarter and will include infill surface sampling and mapping, and drill testing of LCT pegmatites. The work will also include petrological studies to determine the mineralogy of Lithium pegmatites. Lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatites are the class of rare-element pegmatites that host the major hard-rock Lithium and Tantalum deposits in Western Australia, including Greenbushes, Pilgangoora and Wodgina. The pegmatites develop from differentiated granitic magmas that in addition to the LCT elements are also commonly enriched in niobium (Nb), beryllium (Be), rubidium (Rb), and tin (Sn). As a function of the differentiation process a spatial zonation of the rare-element assemblages is often present within the pegmatites with a progressive increase of Ta, Li, and Cs concentrations with increased granite differentiation.

Venus Metals Corporation Limited Provides an Update on Results from its Regional Soil Surveys in the Mangaroon North Project Venus Metals Corporation Limited provided an update on results from its regional soil surveys in the Mangaroon North project area that abuts Dreadnought Resources Ltd.'s tenure in the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia. Venus' Mangaroon North tenements (E 09/2422 and E 08/3229) abut Dreadnought's and First Quantum Minerals Ltd.'s Mangaroon Project targeting magmatic Ni-Cu-Pt-Pd mineralization associated with the mafic-ultramafic Money Intrusion and the Lumpy's Find Prospect. Venus' recent geochemical reconnaissance program totalling 1477 soil and 58 rock chip samples discovered several light rare earth element (LREE) anomalies in soil (maximum: 465 ppm Ce+La - based on the standard ultrafine analysis using an aqua regia digest). Subsequent re-analysis of 66 samples for a suite of 14 rare earth elements (REE) using a stronger multi-acid digest identified two areas of interest with anomalous rare earth concentrations (up to 1611 ppm TREO) that warrant systematic follow-up field work. Follow-up sampling is also planned around an isolated ironstone float specimen (TREO of 1735 ppm, including 316 ppm Nd). These preliminary REE results are considered significant in view of Dreadnought Resources Ltd.'s recently identified carbonatite intrusions along the Lyon's River Fault, located near DRE's previously announced Yin REE Prospect. According to DRE, total rare earth oxides and mineralogical characteristics resemble those at the nearby Yangibana REE Project by Hastings Technology Metals Limited. DRE's discoveries may indicate more widespread occurrences of REE mineralization and potentially, also occurring within Venus' tenements. The Yangibana REE Project contains a REE resource totalling 16.7 Mt @ 0.95% TREO and is located c. 50 km east- southeast of Venus' Mangaroon North tenements, and c. 10km south of Venus' ELA 09/2541. Dreadnought also identified gossanous outcrop over 1 km strike at Bookathanna Bore located approximately 3 km east of Venus' E 08/3229. Significant rock chip results include up to 1.0% Cu, 0.6% Ni, 0.04% Co and 0.3g/t Pt-Pd-Au. Venus considers other north- northeast trending Mundine Well dolerites, dykes, sills and small intrusions highly prospective for magmatic Ni-Cu-Pt-Pd mineralization and identified several Pd anomalies (up to 21ppb) in soil on or near Mundine dolerite. Structural targets along northwest trending faults and shear zones within the Mangaroon North Project are considered prospective for gold mineralization similar to that at the historical high-grade Star of Mangaroon gold mining centre. The strongest gold anomaly is in the northern part of E 09/2422 with a maximum of 429 ppb Au. Systematic follow-up soil sampling and geological mapping is planned. Reported Earnings • Oct 01

Venus Metals Corporation Limited Provides Bridgetown East Ni-Cu-PGE Project- Exploration Update Venus Metals Corporation Limited to provided an update on its ongoing geochemical surveys from its Bridgetown East Ni-Cu-PGE Project (E70/5315 and E70/5316). Initial surface geochemistry (rock chip and laterite data) combined with historical data identified several target areas for potential mafic-
ultramafic hosted Ni-Cu-Pt-Pd mineralization. One of these areas, Target 1 in the east of E70/5315, coincides with an aeromagnetic high and
a HEM anomaly. Follow-up soil sampling (Phase 1) detected anomalous concentrations of Pt, Pd and base metals. Recently, a Phase 2 soil geochemical survey tested units of interpreted or mapped mafic-ultramafic rocks within E70/5315 and E70/5316. Anomalous Pt concentrations together with elevated Pd, Cu and Ni in the south of E70/5315 outline an additional priority target (Target 5) for base metals - PGE mineralization. Due to the recent high rainfall within the project area and local geological conditions, the EM survey displays IP effects that are affecting the data. This has made it difficult to complete the modelling of the reported anomalies and requires further investigation to fully resolve. This will be best achieved when ground conditions have suitably improved and by adopting an alternative Fixed Loop or Moving Loop survey design. Tillkännagivande • Jul 20
Venus Metals Corporation Limited Announces Mangaroon North Ni-Cu-Pt-Pd-Au Project Venus Metals Corporation Limited announced the recent grant of the exploration licence (EL) 09/2422. This EL and three additional EL applications are in the name of Redscope Enterprises Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Venus, and cover a total of 546 km 2 in an area prospective for Ni-Cu-Pt-Pd, Au and Rare Earth Elements (REE) in the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia. The tenements E09/2422 and ELA 08/3229 cover a total of 295 km2 and abut Dreadnought Resources Ltd.'s and First Quantum Minerals Ltd.'s ("FQM") Mangaroon Project targeting magmatic Ni-Cu-Pt-Pd mineralization associated with the mafic-ultramafic Money Intrusion. FQM can earn a 51% interest initially in the Mangaroon project by spending $15 million on exploration. DRE recently identified gossanous outcrop over 1 km strike at Bookathanna Bore in the northern part of the Money Intrusion with significant rock chip results of up to 1.0% Cu, 0.6% Ni, 0.04% Co and 0.3g/t Pt-Pd-Au. The outcrop is located approximately 3 km east of Venus' ELA 08/3229). Within Venus' E09/2422 and ELA 08/3229, several northwest trending Narimbunna igneous intrusives (dolerite and gabbro sills) and north-northeast trending Mundine Well dolerites, dykes, sills and small intrusions are considered highly prospective for magmatic Ni-Cu-Pt-Pd mineralization similar to that discovered in the Money Intrusion (Mundine dolerite). E09/2422 and ELA 08/3229 are also considered prospective for gold mineralization along strike of the historical high-grade Star of Mangaroon gold mine and at structural targets along several shear and fault zones that transect the tenements. Initial field mapping, rock chip sampling and geochemical surveys on the granted EL09/2422 will target potential Ni-Cu-Pt-Pd mineralization associated with mafic intrusives identified from DMIRS geological maps and geophysical data. Two recent applications, ELA08/3375 and ELA09/2541, are in an area considered prospective for rare earth elements (REE). ELA09/2541 is located some 10 km north of the Yangibana carbonatite field and is considered prospective for carbonatite-hosted REE mineralization. REE targets have been identified in the southern section of the tenement along ESE-WNW trends in the magnetic imagery that may potentially represent carbonatite sills within the Durlacher Supersuite, showing a similar orientation to the Yangibana carbonatites to the south.

Venus Metals Corporation Limited Announces the Start of Reverse Circulation (RC) Drilling at the Sandstone Gold Project Venus Metals Corporation Limited announced the start of reverse circulation (RC) drilling at the Sandstone Gold Project. The drilling will target structurally controlled gold mineralisation at the Range View Prospect (E57/984; 90% Venus) and will test the lateral continuation of high-grade gold mineralisation intersected during reconnaissance RC drilling in late 2020. The drilling identified high-grade gold mineralisation in hole BCRC120 (11m @ 4.69 g/t Au from 12m, Including 1m @ 38.92 g/t Au from 20m). The gold mineralisation is open at depth and along strike and is interpreted as the potential southern extension of the Range View gold lodes that were mined in the early 1900's. The Range View Gold Prospect is located 1.5km along strike from Venus's Bellchambers Gold Deposit and, similar to Bellchambers, is hosted within a northeasterly trending sequence of sheared sediments and mafic rocks, interlayered with thin chert and Banded Iron Formation (BIF).

Exploration by Ellendale Resources Pty Ltd. between 2003 and 2007 specifically targeted PGE associated with the base metal sulphide mineralization. Results suggest, metal sulphides and associated PGE are located primarily in metagabbroic units near the maficultramafic contact. While most of the historical PGE anomalies are near surface in shallow auger or RAB holes, fresh rock intersections from Ellendale (CNRC015) and recent Venus drilling (VDRC003 and P1365RC01) indicate the southeast of the Youanmi Igneous Complex to be highly prospective for primary magmatic PGE mineralization. By comparison, PGENiCuCoAu mineralization within the Gonneville Intrusion occurs as multiple sulphiderich zones within dominantly ultramaficmafic rocks. The Gonneville style of mineralization will assist as a model for targeting at the Malbec and Vidure prospects by exploring for potentially multiple zones of PGE mineralization, possibly lowangle sheets, near the maficultramafic contact and within the ultramafic basal part of the Youanmi intrusion. Historical exploration at Youanmi identified strong base metals mineralization and zones of PGE base metals mineralization that are spatially related. Future exploration is targeting potential zones of PGE mineralization that may be located beneath the zones drilled and at deeper levels of the intrusion. Tillkännagivande • Jan 17
Venus Metals Corporation Limited Announces the Results of A Recent Drilling Programme At the Sandstone Gold Project Venus Metals Corporation Limited announced the results of a recent drilling programme at the Sandstone Gold Project. The drilling tested structurally controlled mineralisation at the Range View and Western Ridge Prospects (E57/984). Highgrade gold intersected at Range View Prospect (90% VMC): Best results are: BCRC120 11m @ 4.69 g/t Au from 12m; Including 5m @ 9.03 g/t Au from 18m; Including 1m @ 38.92 g/t Au from 20m; BCRC122 8m @ 1.22 g/t Au from 30m; Including 1m @ 4.48 g/t Au from 30m. Venus has conducted a reconnaissance RC drilling programme (7 holes for 460m) targeting historical gold workings at the Range View and Western Ridge Prospects, located 1.5km northeast and 2.6km north from the Bellchambers Deposit respectively. The Range View Gold Prospect is located along strike from Venus's Bellchambers Gold Deposit (refer ASX release 25 September 2020). Range View is the largest EM target and extends along more than 2 km of strike and to over 500 metres depth based on Airborne VTEM modelling (refer ASX release 25 September 2015). Recent RC drilling beneath historical shallow drilling identified highgrade gold mineralisation in hole BCRC120. The gold mineralisation is open at depth and to the East and is interpreted as the potential southern extension of the Range View gold lodes that were mined in the early 1900's. In addition, 30 Aircore holes totalling 1,646m were also drilled to further explore the Western Ridge Mickey Well Gold Trend. Future Work: The drilling highlights the prospectivity of the Range View Gold Prospect along the eastern BellchambersRangeview Gold Trend and further RC/DD drilling is planned to explore this target area.
