ROX RESOURCES LIMITED – ASX RELEASE 26 August 2009
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 owns 100% of the Reward project tenement which covers 379km[2] adjacent to the world class McArthur River zinc-lead deposit in the Northern Territory. A SEDEX style deposit has been identified by Rox at the Myrtle prospect, where an Inferred Mineral Resource of 38 million tonnes grading 4.2% Zn and 1.0% Pb has been delineated. Thick drill intercepts of prospective stratigraphy carrying significant zinclead grades have already been made but only a small portion of the prospective area has been drilled, and Rox is extremely confident the resource will to continue to grow with further drilling. A higher grade core of 15 million tonnes grading 5.5% Zn and 1.5% Pb is present, 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 which may be exploitable by open pit mining. Several other prospects in the tenement area have similar potential to Myrtle but 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 MVT style zinc-lead district. The project area covers a 20km² granted mining concession area and contains numerous 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 in Australia and South East Asia.
