Venus Metals Corporation Limited: Quarterly Activities Report

Perth, Australia - Venus Metals Corporation Ltd.'s (ASX:VMC) activities conducted during the quarter ending 30 September 2022 include and highlight the following:

YOUANMI GOLD MINE (OYG JV 30% Venus; 70% RXL):

Recently the Scoping Study was completed based on the resource estimate of 27.9Mt at 3.57g/t Au for 3.2Moz Au contained gold.

- Scoping Study indicates the Youanmi Gold Project is set to be a high return project with low capital and operating costs against industry benchmarks.

- Average annual gold production target of approximately 71koz per annum with average gold head grade of 5.0g/t Au for total gold production target of approximately 569koz over an 8-year life of mine.

- First three years of the production target underpinned by 79%/21% Indicated to Inferred Resource Material in the production target plan.

- Pre-tax and unleveraged Net Present Value (NPV) of approximately $303m, IRR of 45 % (at a gold price of $ 2 ,450/oz).

- Combination of gold-in-concentrate and carbon-in-leach bullion production target considered optimum commercialisation strategy for Youanmi (refer RXL ASX release 19 October 2022).

Mangaroon North Rare Earth Project (100% Venus):

Venus's Mangaroon North project tenements which abuts Dreadnought Resources Ltd (DRE) are considered highly prospective for REE.

- 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 translithospheric faults, including the Edmund Fault, intersect Venus' tenements. These faults are interpreted to have acted as pathways for carbonatitic or ferro-carbonatitic 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 shown in all Venus tenements.

- A reconnaissance field sampling program has been completed in September 2022 to evaluate multiple targets. Analyses are in progress.

Marvel Loch East Rare Earth Project (100% Venus):

- Soil samples (UltraFine(TM)) contain up to 6,092 ppm TREO (total rare earth oxide), including 702 ppm Nd2O3 on and adjacent to bedrock.

- The analytical results define REE anomalies along the ~25 km strike length of the arcuate aeromagnetic high and suggest the presence of REE-rich bedrock associated with the prominent magnetic features. Shallow AC drilling is planned targeting residual clay zones on REE-rich bedrock to test for clay-hosted REE mineralisation. So far, only surface samples have been analysed and there is scope for heavy REE (HREE) enrichment at depth in the weathering profile.

Youanmi Pincher Well Zinc-Copper Prospect (100% Base Metals and 50% Gold):

Best results from recent RC drilling include:

- Strong gold mineralisation encountered at Linda Gossan Prospect: VMC054: 9m @ 15.6 g/t Au from surface including 3m @ 35.2 g/t Au from 1m (VMC JV 50% - regional gold rights part of Youanmi Gold Project agreements).

- Base metals mineralisation extended at Conductor PCW03: VMC036: 12m @ 2.22% Zn, 0.15% Cu and 0.1 g/t Au from 128 m including 4m @ 5.02%. Zn from 128m.

- Base metals mineralisation confirmed at IP anomaly, south of Pincher North Dome: VMC058: 20m @ 1.2% Zn, 0.38% Pb and 0.17 g/t Au from 68m.
