Competent Person Statements

The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results for the Mt Fisher, Reward and Bonya Projects is based on, and fairly represents information and supporting documentation compiled by Mr Ian Mulholland BSc (Hons), MSc, FAusIMM, FAIG, FSEG, MAICD, who is a Fellow of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr Mulholland has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration, and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Mr Mulholland is a full time employee and Managing Director of the Company and consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

The information in this report that relates to nickel Mineral Resources for the Mt Fisher project was reported to the ASX on 3 October 2013 and 4 September 2014. Rox confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the announcements of 3 October 2013 and 4 September 2014, and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in those announcements continue to apply and have not materially changed.

The information in this report that relates to previous Exploration Results and Mineral Resources for the Reward Zinc-Lead and Bonya Copper projects and for the gold Mineral Resource defined at Mt Fisher, was prepared and first disclosed under the JORC Code 2004. It has not been updated since to comply with the JORC Code 2012 on the basis that the information has not materially changed since it was last reported, and is based on information compiled by Mr Ian Mulholland BSc (Hons), MSc, FAusIMM, FAIG, FSEG, MAICD, who is a Fellow of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists.

  • Discovered 72,000 tonnes of contained nickel[1] at Fisher East with upside to at least double this resource.

stages - lots of targets.

Through a JV with Teck (Rox 49%), discovered a major zinc-lead deposit at Teena - still being drilled - potential for 10-12 Mt contained zinc-lead (viz. 80-100Mt @ 10-15% Zn-Pb[3] ).

  • Raised $17m in an extremely difficult market, to fund exploration.

1 3.6Mt @ 2.0% Ni (see slide 8 for details)

  • 2 RC drilling has returned grades such as 38m @ 4.4% Cu, including 6m @ 8.8% Cu and 8m @ 7.9% Cu (see slide 16 for details)

  • 3 This Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, but based on reasonable grounds and assumptions (see slides 20-21 for details). There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.
