Ref: /VMS/606/VMS00270

Australian mineral exploration company, Venture Minerals Limited (ASX code: VMS) is pleased to announce that a US based investment fund has agreed to take approximately a 5% stake in the Company at a premium to market. The investment will follow the transfer and conversion of approximately 10 million management options,

which have a strike price of 30 cents and are due to expire on the 20th of February 2012.
Management have transferred the options for nil consideration in return for the options being converted immediately.
The conversion of the options will raise an additional $3 million in working capital for the Company and will boost its cash position to approximately $15.5 million. This affords Venture the opportunity to continue fast tracking the exciting new DSO projects while still completing the BFS on the Company's flagship Mt Lindsay Tin/Tungsten Deposit.
Venture Managing Director Hamish Halliday commented, "We are very pleased with

the transaction as it not only brings a significant New York based fund onto the register, but also bolsters our cash position with no dilution to Ventures capital base. The additional funds also allow us to continue fast tracking our DSO Projects which have

the potential to deliver significant early cash flow."

Kind regards

Venture Minerals Limited
