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

ABN: 53 107 202 602

Projects:

Mt Fisher: nickel-gold (100%)

Reward: zinc-lead (49%)

Hole TNDD020 was drilled on the same north-south section as holes TNDD021 and TNDD014 (Figures 2 & 3), and intersected further high grade zinc and lead sulphide mineralisation in both defined lenses:

Lens 2: 35.4m @ 13.2% Zn+Pb from 817.0m, including

21.2m @ 18.6% Zn+Pb from 831.2m, and

Bonya: copper-silver (earning up to 70%)

Lens 1: 12.8m @ 9.4% Zn+Pb from 895.2m, including

6.8m @ 12.5% Zn+Pb from 895.2m

Managing Director Ian Mulholland commented, “We continue to receive outstanding drilling results from the Teena prospect. This latest hole was targeted close to the keel position of the synclinal basin between previous drill holes and suggests good continuity of mineralisation in this area, as well as confirmation of very high grade mineralisation in the keel position.”

Assays are pending for one more hole, TNDD022, located between holes TNDD011 and TNDD017 (Figure 2).

“Each drill hole this season has made an important contribution to the growing definition of a significant body of high grade zinc-lead mineralisation. The intercepts from drilling this year have been some of the best received, which demonstrates our increased understanding and the strong potential of this project, ” Mr Mulholland said.

ROX RESOURCES LIMITED - ASX RELEASE 17 November 2015

Mineralisation at Teena occurs as lenses that parallel stratigraphy (dip and strike). They are hosted within the HYC Shale Member (see Figure 3). Two main lenses are present, termed Lens 1 (the lower lens) and Lens 2 (uppermost). In the positions drilled to date Lens 2 is generally thicker and higher grade than Lens 1. The mineralised lenses at Teena can be punctuated by mass and debris flows, which sometimes separate the lenses. If that separation is more than 2 metres (i.e. the mass/debris flow is more than 2 metres thick), then a lens may be reported as two separate intervals (using the minimum gap criteria as explained in the notes to Table 1).

The latest hole adds to the outstanding results received this year from Teena, which have included intersections from both lenses:

Drill Hole Lens 2 Lens 1
TNDD019 38.8m @ 16.9% Zn+Pbfrom 1068.9m 5.0m @ 10.8% Zn+Pbfrom 1164.3m
TNDD020 35.4m @ 13.2% Zn+Pbfrom 817.0m 12.8m @ 9.4% Zn+Pbfrom 895.2m
TNDD021 19.7m @ 14.9% Zn+Pbfrom 997.4m 7.2m @ 9.2% Zn+Pbfrom 1041.8m

A summary of the drill intercepts of each major lens intersected in other holes is tabulated below:

Drill Hole Lens 2 Lens 1
TNDD017 14.7m @ 13.2% Zn+Pbfrom 801.0m 3.6m @ 9.7% Zn+Pbfrom 828.4m

Zinc Deposits Around The World

A compilation of zinc deposits from around the world (Leach et. al., 2005 – see caption to Figure 1 for reference), shows that there are just eight zinc-lead deposits that would be termed “world class” or “Tier 1”. These “supergiant” deposits contain >12 million tonnes of contained zinc and lead at a grade greater than 8% Zn+Pb (Figure 5). All of these deposits are owned and operated by major companies. For example, the Red Dog mine in Alaska is owned and operated by Rox’s partner Teck Resources Limited, Canada’s largest diversified resource company.

Australia hosts six of the eight supergiant zinc deposits, five of which occur in the belt from Mt Isa to McArthur River (the “Carpentaria Zinc Province”) (Figure 4), in addition to three Tier 2 “giant” zinc deposits(See Table below), demonstrating the strong endowment of this province.

Most of the major deposits in the Carpentaria Zinc Province were discovered more than 50 years ago. The most recent discovery, being the Century deposit, in 1990. The project was put into production in the year 2000, and produced about 500,000 tonnes of zinc in concentrate per year from about 5 million tonnes of ore

mined each year. The mine had a 15 year mine life mining ceasing earlier this year. The Dugald River deposit is currently being developed for full production in 2018.

“While it is still early days, and more drilling is certainly required, it is evident already that Teena has the potential to deliver significant tonnage and grade,” Mr Mulholland said.

Ownership

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 Teck Resources Limited. Teck has elected to exercise the option to increase their JV interest to 70% by expending up to $15 million in total by 31 August 2018. As at 30 September 2015 Teck had spent approximately $12.4 million.

Rox has announced that it is seeking to commercialise its interest in the project either by way of outright sale to a third party, or by a spin-off into a dedicated zinc company. The Company is continuing to actively explore these options.

  • 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 6% 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 - TNDD021 true thickness is 80-90% of downhole thickness.

About Rox Resources

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

Mt Fisher Gold-Nickel Project (100% + Option to Purchase)

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 675km[2] , consisting of a 600km[2] area 100% owned by Rox and an Option to purchase 100% of a further 75km[2] of nickel and gold prospective ground.

Discovery of, and drilling at the Camelwood and Musket nickel prospects has defined a JORC 2012 Mineral Resource (ASX:RXL 9 October 2013 and 4 September 2014) of 3.6Mt grading 2.0% Ni 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. Additional nickel sulphide deposits continue to be discovered (e.g. Cannonball, Sabre) and these will add to the resource base. Exploration is continuing to define further zones of potential nickel sulphide mineralisation.

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 Au 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 diluting to 30%)

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 first deposit explored, Myrtle, has a current JORC 2004 zinc-lead 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).

Drilling at the Teena zinc-lead prospect includes intersections of 38.8m @ 16.9% Zn+Pb, 26.4m @ 13.3% Zn+Pb, and 20.1m @ 15.0% Zn+Pb , and together with historic drilling has defined significant new high grade zinc-lead mineralisation over a strike length of at least 1.9km (ASX:RXL 5 August 2013, 26 August 2013, 18 September 2013, 11 October 2013, 27 October 2014, 10 November 2014, 15 December 2014, 29 September 2015). Teena is the most significant new discovery of zinc in Australia since Century in 1990.

Under the terms of the Agreement, Teck has earned a 51% interest, with Rox holding the remaining 49%. Teck has elected to earn a further 19% (for 70% in total) by spending an additional A$10m by 31 August 2018 (ASX:RXL 21 August 2013).

Bonya Copper Project (51% + Farm-in Agreement to earn up to 70%)

Rox (51%) is exploring the Bonya Copper Project located 350km east of Alice Springs, Northern Territory, in joint venture with Arafura Resources Limited (49%) (ASX:ARU). 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). 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, 5 November 2014, 1 December 2014).

Under the Farm-in Agreement Rox has earned a 51% interest in the copper, lead, zinc, silver, gold, bismuth and PGE mineral rights at Bonya after spending $500,000 (ASX:RXL 16 December 2014). Rox has elected to earn a further 19% (for 70% in total) by spending a further $1 million by 10 December 2016.

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 70-800towards 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, 014-021), 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 at the
Teena prospect range from 317.6m 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).

Commentary
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.
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.
Check assays have been undertaken by an independent third party
assay laboratory. No issues were revealed.
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
Company, have visually inspected and verified the significant drill
intersections.
The use of twinned holes.
No holes have been twinned at this stage.
Documentation

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, 014-021), 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.
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.

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.

other parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other
parties.
7 of the 8 holes previously drilled at the Teena prospect (Teena 2-
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.

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 3500and holes
generally inclined at minus 700– 800(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.
