Rox Resources Limited ( ASX: RXL ) (“ Rox ” or “ the Company ”) is pleased to report that a follow-up reverse circulation (RC) drilling program has commenced at the Bonya copper project, located 350km east of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory.

The follow-up RC drilling is being undertaken at the Bonya Mine prospect where the previous drilling intersected massive copper sulphide mineralisation in a number of drill holes including:

BYRC008: 11m @ 4.4% Cu from 30m, including 3m @ 6.1% Cu from 33m BYRC009: 38m* @ 4.4% Cu from 60m, including 6m @ 8.8% Cu from 60m, and 8m @ 7.9% Cu from 82m

  • ended in mineralisation with last sample returning 6.8% Cu BYRC012: 9m @ 3.8% Cu from 97m, including 3m @ 8.2% Cu from 97m

In addition results from EM Anomalies 03, 04 and 05 have now been received (see Table 1 for full details), with notable results from EM anomaly 03 as follows:

BYRC003: 2m @ 1.9% Cu from 10m, and 2m @ 3.1% Cu from 55m BYRC004: 1m @ 1.2% Cu from 69m

RRL1367D-IM

ROX RESOURCES LIMITED - ASX RELEASE 5 November 2014

Rox Managing Director, Mr Ian Mulholland said “ We continue to be encouraged by these drilling results, which have intersected copper sulphide mineralisation at a number of locations.”

“Although the results from the Bonya Mine prospect were exceptional and are now being followed up with a second drilling program, the results from EM Anomaly 03 are also quite encouraging given the first pass nature of the drilling. The results from the other EM Anomalies, 04 and 05 are anomalous, and also worthy of further investigation.”

“What is emerging now, as a result of this drilling program, is that there are a number of other targets within the area that we should prioritise. The results from the Bonya Mine prospect indicate that other areas of outcropping copper oxide mineralisation have the potential to host high grade copper sulphide mineralisation. We’re designing a much larger and more extensive exploration program to fully assess the tenement area.”

Rox is earning an interest in the Bonya tenement through an Agreement with Arafura Resources Limited (ASX:ARU). Under the Agreement Rox can earn a 51% interest by expenditure of $500,000 by December 2014. Rox anticipates that it will meet this expenditure requirement within the set timeframe. Once that milestone is achieved Rox can then elect to increase its interest to 70% by expenditure of a further $1,000,000 by December 2016.

Appendix

The following information is provided to comply with the JORC Code (2012) requirements for the reporting of the above RC drilling results on tenements EL29599 and EL29701 in the Northern Territory.

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.
A total of 12 RC holes (BYRC001-012 inclusive) were drilled for
1,133m in the first program. Assays from holes BYRC001-007 are
presented herein. Results for BYRC008-012 were previously
reported (ASX:RXL 20 October 2014).
Hole diameter was 5.5" (140 mm) reverse circulation percussion
(RC). Drill holes were generally angled at -600(see Table 1 for
dips and azimuths) to intersect geology as close to perpendicular
as possible. Sampling was undertaken by collecting 1m cone split
samples at intervals.
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
RC drillholes were sampled on 1m intervals using a cone splitter.
Samples were sent to Australian Laboratory Services in Alice
Springs for sample preparation which included crushing to
10mm, drying and pulverising (total prep) in LM5 units. The
pulps were then sent to Perth for analysis by methods ME-ICP61
(0-1% Cu) and ME-OG62 (>1% Cu), which included a four acid
digest with analysis by Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical
(Atomic) Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES). 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 technique was Reverse Circulation (RC) with hole
diameter of 140mm face sampling hammer. Hole depths ranged
from 41m to 120m.
Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing core and chip
sample recoveries and results assessed
RC drill recoveries were visually estimated from volume of
sample recovered. All sample recoveries were above 90% of
expected.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and
ensure representative nature of the samples
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.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in
nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.
Logging

RC
chips
recorded
lithology,
mineralogy,
mineralisation, weathering, colour, and other sample features.

ROX RESOURCES LIMITED - ASX RELEASE 5 November 2014

Criteria JORC Code explanation
Commentary
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.
All of the mineralised samples were collected dry, as noted in
the drill logs and database.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.
The field sample preparation followed industry best practice.
This involved collection of sample from the cone splitter and
transfer to a calico bag for despatch to the laboratory.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-
sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples.
No standards or field duplicate samples were inserted into the
sample runs at this initial stage.
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 standards or field duplicate samples were inserted into the
sample runs at this initial stage.
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/AES analysis (ALS analysis codes ME-ICP61
and ME-OG62) 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.
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.
Documentation
of
primary
data,
data
entry
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.
A hand held GPS has been used to determine collar locations at
this stage.
Specification of the grid system used.
The grid system is MGA_GDA94, zone 53 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 nominal drill hole spacing is 50 metres between drill
sections. Some sections (but not all) have had more than one
hole drilled.
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.
All mineralised intervals reported were sampled at a one metre
interval.

ROX RESOURCES LIMITED - ASX RELEASE 5 November 2014

Criteria JORC Code explanation
Commentary
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 host rock forms an interpreted fold with varying strike
around the nose of the fold. The drill orientations were planned
to be perpendicular to the strike direction at each location
except at the Bonya Mine where the trend of the mineralisation
follows the fold axis and transgresses the geology.
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
transported by the Company directly 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.
The Company carries out its own internal data audits from time
to time as appropriate. Since this is an initial drilling program no
specify audit has yet been carried out for this project.

name/number,
location
and
ownership including agreements or material issues
with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships,
overriding royalties, native title interests, historical
sites, wilderness or national park and environmental

The mineralisation is located within Exploration Licenses
EL29599 and EL29701 in the Northern Territory. Rox Resources is
the 100% holder of EL29599, and is earning-in to EL29701. The
terms of the EL29701 earn-in agreement are for Rox to earn a
51% interest by expenditure of $500,000 by 10 December 2014,
with an option to increase its interest to 70% by expenditure of a
further $1 million (total $1.5 million) by 10 December 2016
(ASX:RXL 12 October 2012).
The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting
along with any known impediments to obtaining a
licence to operate in the area.
The tenements are in good standing and no known impediments
exist.
Exploration done by
other parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other
parties.
No modern exploration for copper has been done in the Bonya
tenement area. Previous exploration involved rock chip sampling
of outcrops and shallow vertical RAB drilling along one access
track.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
The geological setting is of an interpreted metamorphosed
Proterozoic aged volcanogenic massive sulphide system.
Mineralisation is hosted within select units of the Bonya Schist.
The rocks are interpreted to have been hydrothermally altered
during the mineralisation event, and then strongly regionally
metamorphosed to amphibolite grade. The target deposit is
analogous to the adjacent Jervois copper oxide and 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 1 and the Notes attached thereto.
Data aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging
techniques,
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 analysis intervals have been length weighted to 1
metre. No top cuts have been applied. A lower cut-off of 1.0% Cu
has been applied for holes BYRC008-012, with up to 2m of
internal dilution allowed. See Notes to Table 1.

ROX RESOURCES LIMITED - ASX RELEASE 5 November 2014

Criteria JORC Code explanation
Commentary
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 intervals internal to broader zones of mineralisation
are reported as included intervals. See Table 1.
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 attitude of the targeted mineralisation was unknown, but
suspected to be steeply dipping. Drillhole azimuths were
planned to be perpendicular to strike and inclined at -600west
(but see Table 1 for particular hole dips and azimuths). Given the
angle of the drill holes and the interpreted steep dip of the host
rocks and mineralisation, 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 Tables 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.
Other substantive
exploration data
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material,
should be reported including (but not limited to):
geological observations; geophysical survey results;
geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and
method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk
density,
groundwater,
geotechnical
and
rock
characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating
substances.
Selected RC holes have been cased with PVC for future
downhole electro-magnetic geophysical surveying.
Further work The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g.
tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or
large-scale step-out drilling).
Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible
extensions,
including
the
main
geological
interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this
information is not commercially sensitive
Further
drilling
is
warranted
to
locate

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). Teena is the most significant new discovery of zinc in Australia since Century in 1991.

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.
