MORE MASSIVE SULPHIDES AT MUSKET

  • Further massive sulphides intersected near surface
    • o 3m @ 5.9% Ni, including 1m @ 14.8% Ni
    • o 17m @ 2.1% Ni, including 1m @ 8.9% Ni
  • Musket deposit still open at depth and along strike
  • Resource estimation work underway

Rox Resources Limited (ASX: RXL) ("Rox" or "the Company") is pleased to confirm massive high grade nickel sulphides were intersected near surface during a Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program at the Musket prospect (Figure 1), which forms part of the 100% owned Fisher East Nickel Project located 500km north of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.

The RC drilling is being undertaken to define and delineate additional near-surface nickel sulphide mineralisation as part of a resource estimation currently underway.

Managing Director Ian Mulholland commented, "This additional RC drilling will add new tonnes to our overall project mineral resource, and will assist in the resource model planning for Musket."

Massive high grade nickel sulphides were intersected in both holes drilled (Figures 2-4):

  • MFEC066: 3m @ 5.9% Ni from 189m downhole, including 1m @ 14.8% Ni of massive sulphide from 190m downhole
  • MFEC067: 17m @ 2.1% Ni from 161m downhole, including 1m @ 8.9% Ni of massive sulphide from 161m downhole

"Intersecting significant grades of massive sulphides close to surface will undoubtedly boost the project economics," Mulholland said.

Further RC drilling is planned over the coming weeks at Musket, Cannonball and Corktree (Figure 1). In addition, the aircore/Rotary Air Blast (RAB) drilling program previously advised is progressing well.

Results from both the RC and aircore/RAB drilling will be advised when available.

RC Drill holes MFEC034 to MFEC065 have been reported previously (ASX:RXL 6 March 2014 and 27 March 2014).

Notes to Table:

  • New results shown in bold.
  • Grid coordinates GDA94: Zone 51, collar positions determined by hand held GPS.
  • All holes nominal RL 542 +/- 1m AHD estimated from regional Digital Elevation Model.
  • Hole azimuths planned as 270 degrees, downhole deviations result in hole paths slightly different to those intended.
  • RC drilling (hole prefix MFEC) by reverse circulation face sampling hammer, then 1 metre samples cone split and bagged.
  • Diamond drilling (hole prefix MFED) by HQ/NQ diamond core, with core cut in half and sampled to either significant geological boundaries or even metre intervals.
  • Diamond drill samples weighed in water and air to determine bulk density, and then crushed to 6.5mm. 3-5kg sample preparation by pulp mill to nominal P80/75um.
  • Ni analysis by Intertek Genalysis Perth method 4A/OE: Multi-acid digest including Hydrofluoric, Nitric, Perchloric and Hydrochloric acids in Teflon Tubes. Analysed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical (Atomic) Emission Spectrometry. For higher precision analyses (e.g. Ni > 1%), Intertek Genalysis Perth method 4AH/OE: Modified (for higher precision) multi-acid digest including Hydrofluoric, Nitric, Perchloric and Hydrochloric acids. Analysed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical (Atomic) Emission Spectrometry.
  • Certified Reference Standards and field duplicate samples were inserted at regular intervals to provide assay quality checks. Review of the standards and duplicates are within acceptable limits.
  • Cut-off grade for reporting of 1% Ni with up to 2m of internal dilution allowed.
  • Given the angle of the drill holes and the interpreted 60-65 degree easterly dip of the host rocks, reported intercepts will be slightly more than true width.

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 $3.6 million)

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 170km2 .

Recent drilling at the Camelwood nickel prospect has defined a JORC 2012 Mineral Resource (ASX:RXL 3 October 2013) of 1.6Mt grading 2.2% nickel reported at 1.0% Ni cut-off (Indicated Mineral Resource: 0.6Mt grading 2.4% Ni, Inferred Mineral Resource: 1.0Mt grading 2.1% Ni) comprising massive and disseminated nickel sulphide mineralisation, and containing 34,600 tonnes of nickel. A higher grade core of 520,000 tonnes grading 3.1% nickel reported at a 2.5% Ni cut-off (Indicated Mineral Resource: 240,000 tonnes grading 3.2% Ni, Inferred Mineral Resource: 280,000 tonnes grading 3.0% Ni) is present. The mineralisation is still open in all directions. The nickel Mineral Resource occurs partly on tenements under Option to Purchase to Rox, with an exercise price payable as follows: $1.1 million by 30 June 2014, $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 670km2 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.

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 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. Under the 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 within the first two years. Rox can then elect to earn a further 19% (for 70% in total) by spending a further $1 million over a further two years. 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.

Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that areMaterial to the Public Report. In cases where 'industrystandard' work has been done this would be relativelysimple (e.g. 'reverse circulation drilling was used toobtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised toproduce a 30 g charge for fire assay'). In other casesmore explanation may be required, such as wherethere is coarse gold that has inherent samplingproblems. Unusual commodities or mineralisationtypes (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosureof detailed information Diamond core is dominantly NQ2 size, sampled on geologicalintervals, 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 drillholeswere sampled on 1m intervals using riffle or cone splitter units.Samples were sent to Intertek Genalysis in Kalgoorlie, crushed to10mm, dried and pulverised (total prep) in LM5 units (Somesamples > 3kg were split) to produce a sub-sample. The pulpswere then sent to Perth for analysis by four acid digest with amulti-element ICP-OES finish (code: 4A/OE-multi element). Au, Ptand Pd were analysed by 50 gram fire assay with a massspectrometer finish. Internal laboratory QA uses CRM's, blanks,splits and replicates, along with 10% repeats.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been geologicallyand geotechnically logged to a level of detail to Detailed geological logs have been carried out on all RC drill holes,but no geotechnical data have been recorded (or is possible to berecorded due to the nature of the sample). The geological datawould be suitable for inclusion in a Mineral Resource estimate.
support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation,mining studies and metallurgical studies. Detailed geological and geotechnical logs were carried out on alldiamond drill holes for recovery, RQD, structures etc. whichincluded structure type, dip, dip direction, alpha angle, beta angle,texture, shape, roughness, fill material, and this data is stored inthe database.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative innature. 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 isstored in plastic core trays. RC chips are stored in plastic RC chiptrays.
The total length and percentage of the relevantintersections logged All holes were logged in full except for the rock roller bit diamondhole pre-collars (0-120m in most cases).
Sub-samplingtechniques and samplepreparation If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, halfor all core taken. Drill core was cut in half on site using a core saw. All samples werecollected from the same side of the core, preserving theorientation 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. Ifany mineralised samples were collected wet these were noted inthe drill logs and database.
For all sample types, the nature, quality andappropriateness of the sample preparation technique. The sample preparation followed industry best practice. Thisinvolved oven drying, coarse crushing of diamond core to ~10mm,followed by pulverisation of the entire sample in an LM5 orequivalent pulverising mill to a grind size of 85% passing 75micron.
Quality control procedures adopted for all subsampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. Field QC procedures involve the use of Certified ReferenceMaterials (CRM's) as assay standards, along with duplicates andbarren waste samples. The insertion rate of these wasapproximately 1:20.
Measures taken to ensure that the sampling isrepresentative of the in situ material collected,including for instance results for field duplicate/secondhalf sampling. No diamond core field duplicates were taken. For RC drilling fieldduplicates were taken on a routine basis at an approximate 1:20ratio using the same sampling techniques (i.e. cone splitter) andinserted into the sample run.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain sizeof the material being sampled. The sample sizes are considered more than adequate to ensurethat there are no particle size effects relating to the grain size ofthe mineralisation which lies in the percentage range.
Quality of assay dataand laboratory tests The nature, quality and appropriateness of theassaying and laboratory procedures used and whetherthe technique is considered partial or total. The analytical technique involved a four acid digest followed bymulti-element ICP/OES analysis (Intertek analysis code 4A/OE).The four acid digest involves hydrofluoric, nitric, perchloric andhydrochloric acids and is considered a "complete" digest for mostmaterial types, except certain chromite minerals.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRFinstruments, etc, the parameters used in determiningthe analysis including instrument make and model,reading times, calibrations factors applied and theirderivation, etc. No geophysical or portable analysis tools were used to determineassay values stored in the database.

Primary data was collected using a standard set of Excel templateson Toughbook laptop computers in the field. These data aretransferred to Geobase Pty Ltd for data verification and loadinginto the database.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data. No adjustments or calibrations have been made to any assay data.
Location of datapoints Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locatedrillholes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches,mine workings and other locations used in MineralResource estimation. Not applicable. A hand held GPS has been used to determine collarlocations at this stage, however DGPS collar surveys will beundertaken by a licensed surveyor shortly.
Specification of the grid system used. The grid system is MGA_GDA94, zone 51 for easting, northing andRL.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control. The topographic surface was generated from digital terrain modelsgenerated from low level airborne geophysical surveys.
Data spacing anddistribution 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 stepout distance varies 40-60 metres.
Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficientto establish the degree of geological and gradecontinuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource andOre Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classificationsapplied. The mineralisation and geology shows very good continuity fromhole to hole and will be sufficient to support the definition of aMineral Resource or Ore Reserve and the classifications containedin 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 evenone metre samples between.
For RC samples, sample compositing occurred over 4 metreintervals for non-mineralised material, but all mineralised intervalswere sampled at a one metre interval.
Orientation of data inrelation to geologicalstructure Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiasedsampling of possible structures and the extent to whichthis is known, considering the deposit type. The deposit strikes at about 345 degrees and dips to the east atbetween -60 to -70 degrees. The drill orientation was planned tobe 260 - 270 degrees, so slightly oblique to the perpendiculardirection, however, some drill holes have swung slightly south (toup to 255 degrees) so were drilling essentially perpendicular tostrike. This is confirmed in structural logging of mineralised zones.
If the relationship between the drilling orientation andthe orientation of key mineralised structures isconsidered to have introduced a sampling bias, thisshould 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 inthe field samples are packed into polyweave bags and despatchedto the laboratory. For a large number of samples these bags weretransported by the Company directly to the assay laboratory. Insome cases the sample were delivered to a transport contractorwho then delivered the samples to the assay laboratory. The assaylaboratory audits the samples on arrival and reports anydiscrepancies back to the Company. No such discrepanciesoccurred.
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of samplingtechniques and data. A review of previous sampling techniques and data was carriedout by Optiro Pty Ltd ("Optiro") as part of the Camelwood MineralResource estimate(ASX:RXL 3 October 2013). The database isconsidered by Optiro to be of sufficient quality to support aMineral Resource estimate. In addition, from time to time, theCompany carries out its own internal data audits.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Mineral tenement andland tenure status Type, reference name/number, location and ownershipincluding agreements or material issues with thirdparties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overridingroyalties,nativetitleinterests,historicalsites,wilderness or national park and environmentalsettings. The mineralisation is located within Exploration License E53/1318.Rox Resources holds an option to purchase E53/1318 (amongother tenements) from Gerard Victor Brewer payable in threeinstalments; $1.1 million payable by 30 June 2014, $0.2 millionpayable by 31 December 2014, and $2.3 million payable by 30June 2015.
The security of the tenure held at the time of reportingalong with any known impediments to obtaining alicence to operate in the area. The tenement/s is/are in good standing and no knownimpediments exist.
Exploration done byother parties Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by otherparties. No previous exploration for nickel has been done at theCannonball or Musket prospects.
Geology Deposittype,geologicalsettingandstyleofmineralisation. The geological setting is of Archaean aged komatiite system,bounded by hangingwall basaltic rocks and footwall felsicmetasediments. Mineralisation is mostly situated at the (eastern)basal ultramafic - felsic contact. The rocks are strongly talccarbonate altered. Metamorphism is mid-upper Greenschist. Thedeposit is analogous to Kambalda style nickel sulphide deposits.
Drill hole Information A summary of all information material to theunderstanding of the exploration results including atabulation of the following information for all Materialdrill holes:•easting and northing of the drill hole collar•elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevationabove sea level in metres) of the drill holecollar•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 aggregationmethods In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averagingtechniques,maximumand/orminimumgradetruncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-offgrades are usually Material and should be stated. All reported assay intervals have been length weighted. No topcuts have been applied. A lower cut-off of 1% is applied with up to2m of internal dilution allowed. See Notes to Table/s.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengthsof high grade results and longer lengths of low graderesults, the procedure used for such aggregationshould be stated and some typical examples of suchaggregations should be shown in detail. High grade massive sulphide intervals internal to broader zones ofmineralisation are reported as included intervals. See Table/s.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metalequivalent values should be clearly stated. No metal equivalent values have been used or reported.
Relationship betweenmineralisation widthsand intercept lengths These relationships are particularly important in thereporting of Exploration Results.If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect tothe drill hole angle is known, its nature should bereported.If it is not known and only the down hole lengths arereported, there should be a clear statement to thiseffect (e.g. 'down hole length, true width not known'). The mineralisation is moderately east dipping throughout thedeposit. Drillhole azimuths were planned at 2700 and holesgenerally inclined at -600 west (but see Table 1). Given the angle ofthe drill holes and the interpreted dip of the host rocks andmineralisation (see Figures 3-4), reported intercepts will be morethan true width.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) andtabulations of intercepts should be included for anysignificant discovery being reported These shouldinclude, but not be limited to a plan view of drill holecollar locations and appropriate sectional views. Refer to Figures and Table in the text.
Balanced reporting Where comprehensive reporting of all ExplorationResults is not practicable, representative reporting ofboth low and high grades and/or widths should bepracticed to avoid misleading reporting of ExplorationResults. At this stage only likely mineralised intervals have been analysed.Full assays are underway and will be reported in due course.

Other substantiveexploration 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 All core samples are measured for bulk density by the laboratoryusing the water displacement method. Multi element assaying onall samples was carried out for a suite of potentially deleteriouselements such as Arsenic and Magnesium.
method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulkdensity,groundwater,geotechnicalandrockcharacteristics; potential deleterious or contaminatingsubstances. Geotechnical data was collected from all diamond drillholesincluding recovery and RQD. Structural information was recorded;structure type, thickness, lithology, and alpha/beta angles (dip anddip direction).
Further work The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g.tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions orlarge-scale step-out drilling).Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possibleextensions,includingthemaingeologicalinterpretations and future drilling areas, provided thisinformation is not commercially sensitive Further work (RC and diamond drilling) is justified to locateextensions to mineralisation both at depth and along strike. Inaddition a resource estimate for the Musket prospect is planned.
