ASX/MEDIA RELEASE

ROX SPP OVER-SUBSCRIBED, RAISES $3.2 M ADDITIONAL PLACEMENT FOR $0.7 M

Rox Resources Limited ( ASX: RXL ) (“ Rox ”) is pleased to announce that the Company’s Share Purchase Plan (“SPP”) has closed over-subscribed with $3.2 million raised, an outstanding result given current market conditions. In addition Rox will complete a top-up Placement of $0.7 million on the same terms as the SPP. The Placement is being managed by Patersons Securities.

The price for the shares to be issued under the SPP and top-up Placement (“New Shares”) has been determined to be $0.0200 per New Share, being a 20% discount to the 5 day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) immediately prior to the issue of the shares, and accordingly the Company expects to issue about 195,000,000 New Shares for a total raised of approximately $3.9 million.

Given the strong demand from shareholders the Board of Rox has determined that all legal subscriptions to the SPP will be accepted and therefore no scale back to shareholders will occur.

As disclosed in the SPP documentation, the funds raised will be used to acquire 100% ownership of the Fisher East nickel sulphide project tenements (2011 Option[1] ) by making the final option payment due (approximately $2.4 million including government stamp duties), with the remainder for general working capital[2] to progress the Company’s exploration projects.

Rox Managing Director, Mr Ian Mulholland said, “ It is a very pleasing result to receive such strong support from our shareholders. The over-subscription of the SPP is exceptional, and additional demand for the top-up Placement shows that our innovative pricing model has been very attractive to shareholders and investors. We look forward to further rewarding this support by continuing active exploration on our high quality projects, and working towards development of the Fisher East nickel sulphide project.”

At Fisher East, Rox has defined a mineral resource of 3.6 Mt @ 2.0% Ni (ASX:RXL 9 October 2013 and 4 September 2014), and completed a Scoping Study which showed that the project was financially robust with low technical risk (ASX:RXL 17 February 2015). Exploration at Fisher East has been ongoing, with the recent discovery of a new nickel sulphide zone at the Sabre prospect, and the delineation of a potential mineral resource at the Cannonball prospect (ASX:RXL 4 June 2015).

1 Rox has held an option since 1 July 2011 to purchase five tenements (E53/1318, E53/1319, P53/1496, P53/1497, and M53/127) from Gerard Victor Brewer (ASX:RXL 27 May 2011, 29 January 2014). The remaining exercise price to purchase 100% ownership of the tenements is $2.3 million payable by 30 June 2015. Government Stamp Duty on this payment is estimated at approximately $100,000.

2 An additional $100,000 option payment is due to Gerard Victor Brewer on 30 June 2015 for the second option tenements, E53/1788 and E53/1802 (ASX:RXL 8 December 2014).
