VENTURE MINERALS LIMITED (ASX: VMS) HAS A POTENTIAL HIGH GRADE CLAY STORY

✦ The Brothers Rare Earth Discovery takes the spotlight today with Andrew Radonjic, Managing Director of Venture Minerals Limited (ASX:VMS).

Venture Minerals Limited (ASX:VMS) has recently made an incredible discovery in the Golden Grove district. They have found a high-grade clay Rare Earth project that is truly remarkable and deserves attention.

What sets this project apart is its impressive depth of intercept and high-grade mineral content, making it one of the top-tier projects in Western Australia.

How is the Rare Earth Market now?

The fortunes of the Rare Earth exploration sector heavily rely on the rise or fall of the REE market pricing. Currently, the market is experiencing a bearish price sentiment, which is causing anxiety among many investors. However, it's important to note that this market situation has emerged due to a geopolitical situation. The shifting focus of world politics has made metals like REE (rare earth elements) quite appealing. As a result, the future requirements for

REE components will undoubtedly contribute to the growing demand in the market.

Experienced investors understand that real profits lie in the long term. This is a widely recognised truth that is often overlooked by investors in the mining industry. Unlike other sectors, the mining industry operates on a timescale of decades, rather than months or years. While there have been a few exceptional cases like Nova Bollinger (Ni) and DeGrussa (Copper) that have yielded results within a shorter timeframe, they are rare occurrences.

So what makes Venture Minerals stand out?

Venture Minerals has several strong points.

They excel at developing diversified projects that consistently generate value even in challenging circumstances.

They have a strong, experienced management that is taking the lead. The Brothers project is a prime example of the value that can be achieved. Initially appearing as an outlier, through drilling, it has now emerged as a strong contender in the Rare Earth race. Mr. Radonjic never fails to surprise us with his skills. The Brothers project, which seemed to have a high potential for success, has proven to be a remarkable endeavour. The two drill holes that were announced originally from the Iron Duke acquisition were into bedrock which would have suggested that there could be more to come at depth. The recent release has shown that initially the near surface clays have the capacity to deliver a substantial discovery.

For Venture Minerals, their uniqueness stems from their location (close to the new Lynas story), the grade of mineralisation, and the depth at which it occurs. Unlike typical REE areas, Venture Minerals does not face potential land issues.

There are still developments coming up with regards to the Brothers Project. The unresolved metallurgical question will be addressed by demonstrating leaching. The amount of acid and other related factors will likely be the focal point of discussion.

Is this likely to bring Venture Minerals back to his former days of glory as the darling among investors? Perhaps not right away, because in spite of their promising numbers, they are up against a market that is currently flooded with numerous rare earth element (REE) stories.

Watch this space, as more will be revealed in time to come.
