ROX RESOURCES LIMITED – ASX RELEASE 28 August 2008

About Rox Resources

Rox Resources (ASX: RXL) is an emerging Australian exploration company focussing on zinc-lead deposits, particularly deposits of the Mississippi Valley Type (MVT) and Sedimentary Exhalative Type (SEDEX).

Rox has an option to purchase the Reward project tenement which covers 379km[2] in the Northern Territory. There is potential at the Myrtle prospect for a McArthur River (SEDEX) style deposit to be delineated, and thick drill intercepts of prospective stratigraphy carrying significant zinc-lead grades have already been made. Drilling at Myrtle has intersected mineralisation above a 5% Zn + Pb lower cut-off exceeding several metres in total thickness over an east-west extent of 1,000 metres and north-south extent of 800 metres, and a large mineralised system is indicated.

IP and EM geophysical surveying, soil sampling and geologic interpretation also indicate the potential for shallow near surface mineralisation. Other prospects in the tenement area are at an early stage of exploration.

Rox also owns a 60% interest in the Pha Luang zinc-lead sulphide project in Laos which it believes has the potential to become a large new zinc-lead district. The project area covers a 20km² granted mining concession area and contains numerous MVT zinc-lead prospects. Rox is the first explorer to apply modern techniques to the area. Mineralisation is widespread with zinc and lead oxides and sulphides outcropping in various places along a strike length of over 10km. Applications have been lodged for an additional 290km[2] exploration area immediately surrounding the granted mining concession.

Rox has been successful at defining mineralisation at a number of prospects in the Pha Luang project, with over 9,000 metres of drilling conducted so far. A number of very strong drill targets, and extensions to known mineralisation remain untested. Rox is now among several Australian mining companies enjoying success in Laos where the Government has stated its intentions to embrace mining as a priority industry. Rox maintains an exploration office in the Lao capital, Vientiane, to support the Pha Luang project.

Rox continues to actively review potential new opportunities, particularly zinc-lead projects in Australia and South East Asia.
