  • 7.7m @ 9.9% Zn+Pb

Rox Resources Limited ( ASX: RXL ) (“ Rox ” or “ the Company ”) is pleased to report assays from the current core drilling program at the Teena zinc prospect (Figure 1), which forms part of the Reward project in the Northern Territory.

Assay results from the first hole of a 4,000m drilling program confirm visual results first reported to ASX on 17 September 2014. Diamond drill hole TNDD013 has extended the drilled strike length of known mineralisation to over 1.5 kilometres. The drill intercept is located approximately 400m west of previous hole TNDD012 intercept (Figure 2). Highlights were as follows (see Table 1 for details):

3.0m @ 10.1% Zn+Pb from 670.0 – 673.0m, and

7.7m @ 9.9% Zn+Pb from 678.0 – 685.7m,

within a wider intersection of 35.0m @ 6.1% Zn+Pb from 665.0 – 700.0m.

==> picture [140 x 206] intentionally omitted <==

Managing Director Ian Mulholland commented, “We are delighted that the first hole of the 4,000m drilling program has extended the strike length of mineralisation at Teena, which further strengthens our belief that we are dealing with a very large deposit.”

“We look forward to further results from the drilling program over the next 2-3 months.”

The Reward project is subject to an option/joint venture (JV) agreement between Rox (49%) and Teck Australia Pty Ltd (“ Teck ”) (51%), a subsidiary of Canada’s largest diversified resource company Teck Resources Limited. Teck have elected to exercise the option to increase their JV interest to 70% by expending up to $15 million in total by 31 August 2018.

  • Correct projected average lateral positions of down hole intercepts are shown on the Figures.

  • Hole dip and azimuth determined at collar by compass and clinometer.

  • Diamond drilling by NQ diamond core, with core cut in half and sampled to either logged significant geological boundaries or even 1 metre intervals. Core recovery generally exceeded 98%.

  • Duplicate core samples were quarter cut.

  • Cut core samples were crushed to nominal 2mm size, then a 3kg split pulverised to nominal 85% passing 75um.

  • Samples sent to Bureau Veritas, Mount Isa, with assay by oxidative fusion with XRF analysis (XF001). This method is considered to completely extract Pb and Zn and is a ISO17025 certified method.

  • 3 Certified Reference Materials that range from low grade to high grade Zn (30%) were included in the dispatch at a rate of at least 1 sample in 20, with a higher frequency in mineralized intervals. Field duplicates were included in the dispatch and were sent to the laboratory blind. Blanks were included in the dispatch at a rate of 1 in 40 samples.

  • All quality control data has been assessed to be within an acceptable level of accuracy and precision.

  • Independent assay verification has not yet been completed.

  • Weighted average grade by sample interval quoted using a cut-off grade of 2.5% Zn+Pb over a minimum width of 2m, with up to 2m of internal dilution allowed. Internal higher grade zones are selected at a 5% Zn+Pb cut-off grade or higher.

  • Reported intercepts may exceed the true width; no sampling bias is believed to have been introduced however. Based on structural measurements and downhole surveys, for hole TNDD009 true thickness is believed to be about 60% of downhole thickness, for holes TNDD010 - TNDD013 true thickness is about 80% of downhole thickness.

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 655km2, consisting of a 485km2 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.

Appendix

The following information is provided to comply with the JORC (2012) requirements for the reporting of the Teena drilling results on tenement EL30042.

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.
Diamond drill hole core size is initially HQ size but 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 minus 70-80
0towards north
to intersect geology and mineralisation as required (but see Table
for individual hole dips and azimuths).
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used
Drillhole locations were either determined by hand held GPS
(TNDD009-012), or DGPS (TNDD013). Logging of drill samples
included lithology, weathering, alteration, mineralisation, colour,
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 0.3m up to a maximum of 1.3m.
NQ2 core is cut into half, or quarter for HQ holes.
Samples were sent to Bureau Veritas, Mount Isa, where they are
dried, crushed to 2mm, split in a rotary splitter to 2kg, and
pulverised in LM5 units, to 90% passing 75um. Samples were then
sent to Bureau Veritas, Perth for analysis. The pulps were then
analysed by oxidative fusion with XRF analysis (XF001). This
method is considered to completely extract Pb and Zn and is a
ISO17025 certified method. Trace elements were determined by
LA-ICPMS of the fused beads.
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 diamond core (DD). Hole depths range from
1,005m to 1,383m. DD hole diameter was mostly NQ2 with 5 ¼
inch mud rotary pre-collar and HQ upper hole portions. The core
was orientated using a Reflex orientation tool.
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 generally >98%, and there were
no significant core loss or recovery problems.
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.
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 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 recorded lithology, mineralogy,
mineralisation, structure (DD only), weathering, colour, and other
sample features. Core was photographed and is stored in plastic
core trays.
The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged
All holes were logged in full except for the 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.

ROX RESOURCES LIMITED - ASX RELEASE 27 October 2014

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split,
etc and whether sampled wet or dry.
All holes were cored.
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 ~2mm,
followed by pulverisation of a representative split of sample in an
LM5 to a grind size of 90% passing 75 micron.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-
sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples.
Subsampling was controlled by the insertion of duplicates of
material created both after the crushing stage and after the
pulverization stage. These quality control measures are inserted at
the company’s request and not a component of the laboratory’s
internal quality system. Both these stages of sub-sampling were fit
for purpose.
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.
Field QC procedures involve the use of 3 different Certified
Reference Materials (CRM’s) to monitor accuracy, along with
duplicates to monitor precision and blank samples to monitor
contamination. Routine samples were cut as half core and one half
was sent for analysis. The other half was retained as a geological
record. However, 1 sample in 50 was a core duplicate. In this case,
both halves were submitted blind to the laboratory to monitor
geological representivity. This showed that the geological sampling
was fit for purpose.
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 an oxidative fusion with XRF
analysis (XF001). This method is considered to completely quantify
Pb and Zn and is a ISO17025 certified method.
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.
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.
Samples submitted to the laboratory are split into batches of 50
samples. Each batch contains 3 CRM’s appropriate to the project
to monitor bias, a coarse blank and a fine blank to monitor
contamination in sample preparation and the laboratory and a
core duplicate, crush duplicate and a pulp duplicate to monitor
sampling and sub sampling. The results of this system have been
acceptable in line with industry best practice.
No check assays have yet been undertaken an independent third
party assay laboratory. This will be completed at the end of the
current field season for all holes drilled in 2014.
Verification of
sampling and assaying
The verification of significant intersections by either
independent or alternative company personnel.
Senior technical personnel (Exploration Manager and Senior
Geologist) from Teck Australia Pty Ltd (“Teck”), the operating

procedures, data verification, data storage (physical
and electronic) protocols.
Primary data is logged using an Acquire logging interface that has
been setup with appropriate codes for the Teena drilling program.
The data are transferred to Teck’s Perth Office 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. No Mineral Resource estimate has yet been made.
Drillhole locations were either determined by hand held GPS
(TNDD009-012), or DGPS (TNDD013). A Reflex downhole camera
was used to record downhole survey data at approximately 30m
intervals.
Specification of the grid system used. The grid system is MGA_GDA94, zone 53 for easting, northing and
RL.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Quality and adequacy of topographic control. A 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 250-500 metres between and along
drill sections.
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 given sufficient in-fill drilling will be suitable 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.
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 080 degrees and takes a synclinal
form plunging to the east. The drill orientation was planned to
intersect the mineralised system at specific targeted positions. No
bias is believed to have been introduced because of this, but down
hole intersections will have varying true widths. 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 Teck. 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 regular review of sampling techniques and data is carried out by
Teck personnel experienced in this field. The database is
considered to be of sufficient quality to support a Mineral
Resource estimate as and when appropriate.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Mineral tenement and
land tenure status
Type, reference 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
settings.
The mineralisation is located within Exploration License EL30042 in
the Northern Territory. Teck (51% interest) is operating the project
under an Earn-in and Joint Venture Agreement with Rox Resources
Limited (“Rox”) (49% interest). Under the Agreement Teck can
increase its interest in the project by expending a total of $15
million by 31 August 2018.
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 tenement is in good standing and no known impediments
exist.
Exploration done by
other parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other
parties.
7 of the 8 holes previously drilled at the Teena prospect (Teena 1-
8 inclusive) were drilled from 1976 to 1978 by MIM Exploration
Pty Ltd. Teena 1 was drilled in 1961.
Geology Deposit
type,
geological
setting
and
style
of
mineralisation.
The geological setting is of Proterozoic aged sedimentary hosted
zinc-lead system, bounded by growth faults in synclinal sub-
aqueous basins. Mineralisation is mostly situated in the HYC Shale
(or equivalent) within the Barney Creek Formation. The rocks are
not significantly metamorphosed or altered, although there is
pervasive carbonate addition. The deposit is analogous to the
McArthur River and Mt Isa style zinc-lead 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
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 assay intervals have been length weighted. No top
cuts have been applied. A lower cut-off of 2.5% Zn+Pb 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 sulphide intervals internal to broader zones of
mineralisation are 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 deposit strikes at about 080 degrees and takes a synclinal
form plunging to the east. The drill orientation was planned to
intersect the mineralised system at specific targeted positions.
Drillhole azimuths were planned at approximately 350
0and holes
generally inclined at minus 70
0– 80
0(but see Table 1 for individual
hole details).
Given the angle of the drill holes and the interpreted dip of the
host rocks and mineralisation (see Figures), reported intercepts
will be more than true width (see notes to Table).
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 visually mineralised intervals have been fully
analysed. Selected samples outside of mineralised intervals have
been sampled and analysed for geochemical data purposes.
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.
All core samples are measured for bulk density in the field by Teck
using the water-air displacement method. Multi element assaying
on all samples was carried out, including potentially deleterious
elements.
Geotechnical data was collected from all diamond drillholes
including recovery and RQD. Structural information was recorded;
structure type, thickness, lithology, and alpha/beta angles (dip and
dip direction).
Geophysical data: specific gravity (SG), gamma and magnetic
susceptibility were collected.
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 work (diamond drilling) is justified to fully determine the
size of the mineralised system both across and along strike and at
depth.
