MUSKET EXTENDED BY DRILLING

  • Drilling confirms extensions to Musket resource

  • 2.3m @ 4.1% Ni from Musket EM anomaly, 150m north of closest drilling

  • Massive and disseminated sulphides also intersected beneath current Musket resource

Rox Resources Limited ( ASX: RXL ) (“ Rox ” or “ the Company ”) is pleased to report results from RC and diamond core drilling at its 100% owned Fisher East Nickel Project located 500km north of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.

Diamond core drilling results from Musket (Figures 1 & 2) indicate new mineralisation intersected to the north and at depth of the current resource. In addition, extensions at depth to mineralisation previously reported have also been identified. New results include:

MFED058: 2.3m @ 4.1% Ni from 366.9m (semi-massive sulphides)

MFEC062: 0.2m @ 13.0% Ni from 486.3m (massive sulphide), and 5.1m @ 2.0% Ni from 490.0m (disseminated sulphides)

  • MFEC063: 1.8m @ 1.6% Ni from 414.2m and 8.6m @ 1.4% Ni from 419.9m (both disseminated sulphides), including 2.9m @ 2.2% Ni from 425.0m

Encouragingly a downhole EM survey conducted in drill hole MFED059 has confirmed that the EM conductor tested by hole MFED058 (2.3m @ 4.1% Ni) continues to the north and is much stronger at depth (Figures 2 & 3). This warrants follow-up to further extend the resource at Musket.

Managing Director Ian Mulholland commented, “In addition to the Cannonball drilling results released last week, these extensions to Musket, both at depth and also the EM anomaly to the north, indicate that this resource will continue to grow with more drilling.”

“Not only is the result of MFED058 exciting, being 150 metres north of current drilling, but the continuation of the massive sulphide zone, albeit relatively narrow in hole MFED062, is an indication that the system is still continuing at depth. That leaves significant potential at depth.”

Drilling at Camelwood (south, north and main zones) was also undertaken and returned encouraging results. The RC holes at Camelwood, MFEC091 and 092 intersected 3m @ 2.2% Ni from 229m, and 2m @ 3.0% Ni from 167m respectively. These will add to the resource in this location and

RRL1372D-IM

ROX RESOURCES LIMITED - ASX RELEASE 26 November 2014

there remains an untested gap in the resource between the main and north zones (Figure 3).

RC drilling at Camelwood South and Camelwood North (holes MFEC086 – 090, and 096 – 098) generally intersected about 1m @ ~1% Ni indicating that the sulphide mineralised system is still present and worthy of further follow-up drilling at depth.

One diamond hole (MFED060) was completed at Camelwood South as the tail on a lost RC hole and returned 2.0m @ 1.4% Ni from 189.3m.

Three RC holes (MFEC093 – 095) were drilled to test EM and geochemical anomalies at the Red Mulga and Cutlass prospects. Anomalous nickel values were intersected.

Work will now focus on further understanding and evaluation of the known resources and planning for further drilling in 2015.

About Rox Resources

Rox Resources Limited is an emerging Australian minerals exploration company. The company has four key assets at various levels of development with exposure to gold, nickel, zinc, lead, copper and phosphate, including the Mt Fisher Gold Project (WA), Myrtle/Reward Zinc-Lead Project (NT), the Bonya Copper Project (NT) and the Marqua Phosphate Project (NT).

Mt Fisher Gold-Nickel Project (100% + Option to Purchase $2.5 million to pay)

The Mt Fisher gold project is located in the highly prospective North Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia and in addition to being well endowed with gold the project hosts strong nickel potential. The total project area is 655km[2] , consisting of a 485km[2] area 100% owned by Rox and an Option to purchase 100% of a further 170km[2] .

Recent drilling at the Camelwood and Musket nickel prospects has defined a JORC 2012 Mineral Resource (ASX:RXL 3 October 2013 and 4 September 2014) of 3.6Mt grading 2.0% nickel reported at 1.0% Ni cut-off (Indicated Mineral Resource: 1.8Mt grading 2.2% Ni, Inferred Mineral Resource: 1.9Mt grading 1.8% Ni) comprising massive and disseminated nickel sulphide mineralisation, and containing 72,100 tonnes of nickel. Higher grade mineralisation is present in both deposits (refer to ASX announcements above), and is still open at depth beneath each deposit. The nickel Mineral Resource occurs partly on tenements under Option to Purchase to Rox, with an exercise price payable as follows: $0.2 million by 31 December 2014, and $2.3 million by 30 June 2015.

Drilling by Rox has also defined numerous high-grade gold targets and a JORC 2004 Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource (ASX:RXL 10 February 2012) of 973,000 tonnes grading 2.75 g/t gold reported at a 0.8 g/tAu cut-off exists for 86,000 ounces of gold (Measured: 171,900 tonnes grading 4.11 g/t Au, Indicated: 204,900 tonnes grading 2.82 g/t Au, Inferred: 596,200 tonnes grading 2.34 g/t Au) aggregated over the Damsel, Moray Reef and Mt Fisher deposits.

Reward Zinc-Lead Project (49% + Farm-out Agreement)

Rox has signed an Earn-In and Joint Venture Agreement with Teck Australia Pty Ltd. (“Teck”) to explore its highly prospective 670km[2] Myrtle/Reward zinc-lead tenements, located 700km south-east of Darwin, Northern Territory, adjacent to the McArthur River zinc-lead mine.

The Myrtle zinc-lead deposit has a current JORC 2004 Mineral Resource (ASX:RXL 15 March 2010) of 43.6 Mt @ 5.04% Zn+Pb reported at a 3.0% Zn+Pb cut-off (Indicated: 5.8 Mt @ 3.56% Zn, 0.90% Pb; Inferred: 37.8 Mt @ 4.17% Zn, 0.95% Pb).

Recent drilling at the Teena zinc-lead prospect intersected 26.4m @ 13.3% Zn+Pb including 16.2m @ 17.2% Zn+Pb, and 20.1m @ 15.0% Zn+Pb including 12.5m @19.5% Zn+Pb , and together with historic drilling has defined significant high grade zinc-lead mineralisation over a strike length of at least 1.5km (ASX:RXL 5 August 2013, 26 August 2013, 18 September 2013, 11 October 2013).

Under the terms of the Agreement, Teck has now met the expenditure requirement for a 51% interest, with Rox holding the remaining 49%. Teck has elected to increase its interest in the project to 70% by spending an additional A$10m (A$15m in total) by 31 August 2018 (ASX:RXL 21 August 2013).

Bonya Copper Project (Farm-in Agreement to earn up to 70%)

In October 2012 Rox signed a Farm-in Agreement with Arafura Resources Limited (ASX:ARU) to explore the Bonya Copper Project located 350km east of Alice Springs, Northern Territory. Outcrops of visible copper grading up to 34% Cu and 27 g/t Ag are present, with the style of mineralisation similar to the adjacent Jervois copper deposits (see ASX:KGL). EM surveys defined a number of anomalies that could represent sulphide mineralisation at depth (ASX:RXL 5 August 2014). Drill testing has intersected visible copper mineralisation at three prospects, with massive copper sulphides intersected at the Bonya Mine prospect, including 38m @ 4.4% Cu and 11m @ 4.4% Cu (ASX:RXL 20 October 2014).

Under the Farm-in Agreement Rox can earn a 51% interest in the copper, lead, zinc, silver, gold, bismuth and PGE mineral rights at Bonya by spending $500,000 by December 2014. Rox can then elect to earn a further 19% (for 70% in total) by spending a further $1 million by December 2016. Once Rox has earned either a 51% or 70% interest it can form a joint venture with Arafura to further explore and develop the area.

The following information is provided to comply with the JORC (2012) requirements for the reporting of the drilling results on tenement E53/1318.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation
Commentary
Sampling techniques Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels,
random chips, or specific specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should
not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of
sampling.
RC hole diameter was 5.5" (140 mm) reverse circulation
percussion (RC). Sampling of RC holes was undertaken by
collecting 1m cone split samples at intervals.
Diamond drill hole core size is NQ2 size diameter through the
mineralisation. Sampling of diamond holes was by cut half core as
described further below.
Drill holes were generally angled at -600towards grid west (but
see Table for individual hole dips and azimuths) to intersect
geology as close to perpendicular as possible.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used
Drillhole locations were picked up by handheld GPS. Logging of
drill samples included lithology, weathering, texture, moisture and
contamination (as applicable). Sampling protocols and QAQC are
as per industry best practice procedures.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are
Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry
standard’ work has been done this would be relatively
simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to
obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to
produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases
more explanation may be required, such as where
there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation
types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure
of detailed information
Diamond core is dominantly NQ2 size, sampled on geological
intervals, with a minimum of 0.1 m up to a maximum of 1.5 m.
NQ2 core is cut into half, or quarter for HQ holes. RC drillholes
were sampled on 1m intervals using riffle or cone splitter units.
Samples were sent to Intertek Genalysis in Kalgoorlie, crushed to
10mm, dried and pulverised (total prep) in LM5 units (Some
samples > 3kg were split) to produce a sub-sample. The pulps
were then sent to Perth for analysis by four acid digest with a
multi-element ICP-OES finish (code: 4A/OE-multi element). Au, Pt
and Pd were analysed by 50 gram fire assay with a mass
spectrometer finish. Internal laboratory QA uses CRM's, blanks,
splits and replicates, along with 10% repeats.
Drilling techniques Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole
hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc)
and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube,
depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type,
whether core is oriented and if so, by what method,
etc).
Drilling techniques were Reverse Circulation (RC) and diamond
core (DD). The RC hole diameter was 140mm face sampling
hammer. Hole depths range from 126m to 241m.
DD hole diameter was mostly NQ2 with 5 ¼ inch mud rotary pre-
collar and HQ upper hole portions. Hole depths range from
207.6m to 522.7m. The core was orientated using a Camtech
orientation tool. DD holes had RC or rock roller bit pre-collars
drilled, generally to 100-150m depth.
Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing core and chip
sample recoveries and results assessed
Diamond drill core recoveries were logged and recorded in the
database. Overall recoveries were >95%, and there were no
significant core loss or recovery problems.
RC drill recoveries were high (>90%).
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and
ensure representative nature of the samples
Diamond core was reconstructed into continuous sample runs on
an angle iron used for orientation marking. Depths are measured
and checked against marked depths on the core blocks.
RC samples were visually checked for recovery, moisture and
contamination and notes made in the logs.
Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery
and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred
due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
There is no observable relationship between recovery and grade,
and therefore no sample bias.

Logging Whether core and chip samples have been geologically
and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to
support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation,
mining studies and metallurgical studies.
Detailed geological logs have been carried out on all RC drill holes,
but no geotechnical data have been recorded (or is possible to be
recorded due to the nature of the sample). The geological data
would be suitable for inclusion in a Mineral Resource estimate.
Detailed geological and geotechnical logs were carried out on all
diamond drill holes for recovery, RQD, structures etc. which
included structure type, dip, dip direction, alpha angle, beta angle,
texture, shape, roughness, fill material, and this data is stored in
the database.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in
nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.
Logging of diamond core and RC chips recorded lithology,
mineralogy, mineralisation, structure (DD only), weathering,
colour, and other sample features. Core was photographed and is
stored in plastic core trays. RC chips are stored in plastic RC chip
trays.
The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged
All holes were logged in full except for rock roller bit diamond hole
pre-collars (0-120m in most cases).
Sub-sampling
techniques and sample
preparation

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half
or all core taken.
Drill core was cut in half on site using a core saw. All samples were
collected from the same side of the core, preserving the
orientation mark in the kept core half.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split,
etc and whether sampled wet or dry.
RC samples were collected on the drill rig using a cone splitter. If
any mineralised samples were collected wet these were noted in
the drill logs and database.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.
The sample preparation followed industry best practice. This
involved oven drying, coarse crushing of diamond core to ~10mm,
followed by pulverisation of the entire sample in an LM5 or
equivalent pulverising mill to a grind size of 85% passing 75
micron.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-
sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples.
Field QC procedures involve the use of Certified Reference
Materials (CRM’s) as assay standards, along with duplicates and
barren waste samples. The insertion rate of these was
approximately 1:20.
Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in situ material collected,
including for instance results for field duplicate/second-
half sampling.
No diamond core field duplicates were taken. For RC drilling field
duplicates were taken on a routine basis at an approximate 1:20
ratio using the same sampling techniques (i.e. cone splitter) and
inserted into the sample run.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size
of the material being sampled.
The sample sizes are considered more than adequate to ensure
that there are no particle size effects relating to the grain size of
the mineralisation which lies in the percentage range.
Quality of assay data
and laboratory tests
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the
assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether
the technique is considered partial or total.
The analytical technique involved a four acid digest followed by
multi-element ICP/OES analysis (Intertek analysis code 4A/OE).
The four acid digest involves hydrofluoric, nitric, perchloric and
hydrochloric acids and is considered a “complete” digest for most
material types, except certain chromite minerals.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF
instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining
the analysis including instrument make and model,
reading times, calibrations factors applied and their
derivation, etc.
No geophysical or portable analysis tools were used to determine
assay values stored in the database.
Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g.
standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory
checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e.
lack of bias) and precision have been established.
Internal laboratory control procedures involve duplicate assaying
of randomly selected assay pulps as well as internal laboratory
standards. All of these data are reported to the Company and
analysed for consistency and any discrepancies.
Check assays were undertaken at an independent third party assay
laboratory and correlated extremely well.
Verification of
sampling and assaying
The verification of significant intersections by either
independent or alternative company personnel.
Senior technical personnel from the Company (Managing Director
and Exploration Manager) have visually inspected and verified the
significant drill intersections.
The use of twinned holes.
No holes have been twinned at this stage.

procedures, data verification, data storage (physical
and electronic) protocols.
Primary data was collected using a standard set of Excel templates
on Toughbook laptop computers in the field. These data are
transferred to Geobase Pty Ltd for data verification and loading
into the database.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
No adjustments or calibrations have been made to any assay data.
Location of data
points
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate
drillholes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches,
mine workings and other locations used in Mineral
Resource estimation.
Not applicable. A hand held GPS has been used to determine collar
locations at this stage, however DGPS collar surveys will be
undertaken by a licensed surveyor shortly.
Specification of the grid system used.
The grid system is MGA_GDA94, zone 51 for easting, northing and
RL.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
The topographic surface was generated from digital terrain models
generated from low level airborne geophysical surveys.
Data spacing and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.
The drill hole spacing varies 40-100 metres between drill sections,
with some areas at 40 metre drill section spacing. Some sections
(but not all) have had more than one hole drilled. Down dip step
out distance varies 40-60 metres.
Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient
to establish the degree of geological and grade
continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and
Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications
applied.
The mineralisation and geology shows very good continuity from
hole to hole and will be sufficient to support the definition of a
Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve and the classifications contained
in the JORC Code (2012 Edition) in due course.
Whether sample compositing has been applied.
No sample compositing has occurred for diamond core drilling.
Sample intervals are based on geological boundaries with even
one metre samples between.
For RC samples, sample compositing occurred over 4 metre
intervals for non-mineralised material, but all mineralised intervals
were sampled at a one metre interval.
Orientation of data in
relation to geological
structure
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased
sampling of possible structures and the extent to which
this is known, considering the deposit type.
The deposit strikes at about 345 degrees and dips to the east at
between -60 to -70 degrees. The drill orientation was planned to
be 260 - 270 degrees, so slightly oblique to the perpendicular
direction, however, some drill holes have swung slightly south (to
up to 255 degrees) so were drilling essentially perpendicular to
strike. This is confirmed in structural logging of mineralised zones.
If the relationship between the drilling orientation and
the orientation of key mineralised structures is
considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if material.
No sampling bias is believed to have been introduced.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security.
Sample security is managed by the Company. After preparation in
the field samples are packed into polyweave bags and despatched
to the laboratory. For a large number of samples these bags were
transported by the Company directly to the assay laboratory. In
some cases the sample were delivered to a transport contractor
who then delivered the samples to the assay laboratory. The assay
laboratory audits the samples on arrival and reports any
discrepancies back to the Company. No such discrepancies
occurred.
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.
A review of previous sampling techniques and data was carried
out by Optiro Pty Ltd (“Optiro”) as part of the Camelwood Mineral
Resource estimate (ASX:RXL 3 October 2013). The database is
considered by Optiro to be of sufficient quality to support a
Mineral Resource estimate. In addition, from time to time, the
Company carries out its own internal data audits.

The tenement/s is/are in good standing and no known
impediments exist.
Exploration done by

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other
parties.
No previous exploration for nickel had been done at the
Cannonball prospect before Rox’s involvement.
Geology Deposit
type, geological setting and style
of
mineralisation.
The geological setting is of Archaean aged komatiite system,
bounded by hangingwall basaltic rocks and footwall felsic
metasediments. Mineralisation is mostly situated at the (eastern)
basal ultramafic - felsic contact. The rocks are strongly talc-
carbonate altered. Metamorphism is mid-upper Greenschist. The
deposit is analogous to Kambalda style nickel sulphide deposits.
Drill hole Information A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results including a
tabulation of the following information for all Material
drill holes:

easting and northing of the drill hole collar

elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation
above sea level in metres) of the drill hole
collar

dip and azimuth of the hole

down hole length and interception depth

hole length.
Refer to drill results Table/s and the Notes attached thereto.
Data aggregation

maximum
and/or
minimum
grade
truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off
grades are usually Material and should be stated.
All reported assay intervals have been length weighted. No top
cuts have been applied. A lower cut-off of 1% is applied with up to
2m of internal dilution allowed. See Notes to Table/s.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths
of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade
results, the procedure used for such aggregation
should be stated and some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in detail.
High grade massive or semi-massive sulphide intervals internal to
broader zones of mineralisation may be reported as included
intervals. See Table/s.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.
No metal equivalent values have been used or reported.
Relationship between
mineralisation widths
and intercept lengths
These relationships are particularly important in the
reporting of Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to
the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be
reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are
reported, there should be a clear statement to this
effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’).
The mineralisation is moderately east dipping throughout the
deposit. Drillhole azimuths were generally planned at 2700and
holes generally inclined at -600west (but see Table 1). Given the
angle of the drill holes and the interpreted dip of the host rocks
and mineralisation (see Figures 3-4), reported intercepts will be
more than true width.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and
tabulations of intercepts should be included for any
significant discovery being reported These should
include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole
collar locations and appropriate sectional views.
Refer to Figures and Table in the text.
Balanced reporting Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration
Results is not practicable, representative reporting of
both low and high grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration
Results.
At this stage only likely mineralised intervals have been analysed.
Full assays are underway and will be reported in due course.
