Prospectus to be lodged Renounceable Entitlements Issue to raise up to $1.67 million
Rox Resources Limited (ASX:RXL “Rox” or “the Company”) wishes to announce that it has completed the Share Placement announced on 3[rd] November 2015.
The initial intention was to raise $500,000 through a placement to institutional and sophisticated investors, however due to strong support from an overseas based investor this amount has been increased to $1,000,000.
Eligible Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to participate in an Entitlements Issue on the same terms as the share placement.
These capital raisings will enable the Company to continue to explore and develop both the Fisher East Project where pre-feasibility studies are currently underway and the Bonya Project where significant drill assays (including 38m @ 4.4% copper) warrant follow-up drilling. There is considerable upside to be added from these projects which the Company operates and holds a majority interest.
The Entitlements Offer will be undertaken through a 1-for-10 pro-rata renounceable rights issue to shareholders at 1.5 cents per New Share, and is partially underwritten by Patersons Securities Limited for up to $1 million of the $1.67 million to be raised.

ROX RESOURCES LIMITED - ASX RELEASE 9 November 2015
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.
