Strongly Anomalous Nickel-Copper-PGE in Successful Collurabbie Aircore Drilling
Key Points
- Aircore drilling program completed at Collurabbie
- Strong nickel-copper-platinum-palladium and gold anomalies define new prospects over significant strike lengths
- Excellent potential for further nickel-copper sulphide discoveries
- RC drilling program to follow
Rox Resources Limited (ASX: RXL) ("Rox" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed and received assays from an initial aircore drilling program at its Collurabbie project 250km north of Laverton in Western Australia (Figure 1) (ASX:RXL 6 September 2017).
The drilling program comprised 104 holes for 5,427 metres, and tested several targets (Figure 2) within the Company's tenements.
Stand out results were from the new Olympia North and Ortus prospects (Figure 3) including:
Olympia North
24m @ 0.38% Ni, 0.17% Cu, 126ppb Pt, 235ppb Pd from 28m in hole CXAC013, including 8m @ 0.50% Ni, 0.29% Cu, 228ppb Pt and 317ppb Pd from 36m
32m @ 0.60% Ni, 0.36% Cu, 273ppb Pt, 405ppb Pd from 4m in hole CXAC086, including 20m @ 0.70% Ni, 0.40% Cu, 305ppb Pt, 464ppb Pd from 8m
8m @ 0.40% Ni, 0.24% Cu, 175ppb Pt, 247ppb Pd from 40m in hole CXAC090.
Weathering at Collurabbie is at least 80-100m deep, so the Company considers these results, from as shallow as 4m depth, as very significant.
The anomalous results from Olympia North are located along a 300m strike length over a strong magnetic signature, similar to that at the Olympia deposit where a maiden Inferred Mineral

Resource of 573,000 tonnes grading 1.63% Ni, 1.19% Cu, 0.082% Co, 1.49g/t Pd, 0.85g/t Pt was announced recently (ASX:RXL 18 August 2017).
The drilling has defined a northerly trend along an ultramafic horizon (termed the Olympia horizon), which has been poorly tested by historical drilling and extends to the north for at least 10km, all covered by Rox tenements. Future work will be focused on testing the Olympia horizon with further aircore drilling and geophysics to define more targets.
Ortus
24m @ 0.56% Ni, 0.12% Cu, 178ppb Pt and 212 Pd from 16m in hole CXAC008, including 12m @ 0.74% Ni, 0.19% Cu, 309ppb Pt and 315ppb Pd from 20m
24m @ 0.56% Ni, 0.04% Cu, 78ppb Pt and 84ppb Pd from 16m in hole CXAC046, (hole did not reach target depth).
The Ortus prospect appears to lie on a structure running SW-NE through Olympia, where it intersects the north trending ultramafic Beta Sill.
Rox Managing Director, Ian Mulholland said: "These are very strong aircore results, with the high Cu, Pt and Pd results especially significant. In our experience, the level of these elements is indicative of nickel sulphide mineralization at depth. We are therefore planning to undertake an initial RC drilling program as soon as possible."
In addition, anomalous nickel results were received north of Ortus along the Beta Sill (Figure 2). The results indicate lateritic enrichment above a potential large low-grade disseminated nickel sulphide mineralized body:
27m @ 0.45% Ni from 4m in hole CXAC011
20m @ 0.39% Ni from 4m in hole CXAC041
Drilling to test gold targets was also undertaken at the Naxos prospect. These holes were following up an historic RC hole, CLD172, that contained 2m @ 2.4g/t Au. A gold anomaly 600m in strike length has now been defined (Figure 4), and further drilling is warranted. All samples are currently 4m composites and will be re-split to 1m intervals for further assay. Selected results (see Table 1 for further details) were:
4m @ 0.15g/t Au from 44m in hole CXAC020
4m @ 0.25g/t Au from 44m in hole CXAC031
4m @ 0.58g/t Au from 52m in hole CXAC033
4m @ 0.21g/t Au from 32m, and 4m @ 0.22g/t Au from 40m in hole CXAC037
4m @ 0.22g/t Au from 80m in hole CXAC038

Rox Managing Director, Ian Mulholland said: "This was our first exploration program at Collurabbie since acquiring the project in May. We are very excited by these results, which show the great potential of this project area."
"The synergies with our Fisher East nickel sulphide project are obvious, being only 70km to the west."

Table 1: Aircore Drilling Results
Notes to Table:
- Grid coordinates GDA94: Zone 51, collar positions determined by hand held GPS.
- All drill holes were angled at -600 towards 0900 (MGA94 East), designed to intersect geology generally as close to perpendicular as possible. Sampling was undertaken by collecting 2-5 metre composite samples and single 1m intervals. Drill spoils were scanned with pXRF as a preliminary screening tool and a guide to sampling. Not all samples were assayed.
- Aircore drilling was sampled (scooped) using a combination of composite sampling (2m to 5m) and single 1m sampling.
- Samples were delivered to Intertek Genalysis in Kalgoorlie, crushed to 10mm, dried and pulverised (total prep) in LM5 units (Some samples > 3kg were split) to produce a sub-sample.
- Ni-Cu-PGM samples were assayed by a Four Acid Digest with a multi-element ICP-OES finish (for elements including Ni, Cu, Co, Cr, Mg, Fe. Intertek code: 4A/OE-multi-element) and Fire Assay for Au-Pt-Pd (Intertek code FA25/MS). Au, Pt and Pd were analysed by 25 gram fire assay with a mass spectrometer finish. Au-only samples were assayed via 10gram aqua regia (Intertek code AR10/MS).
- Cut-off grade for reporting of 2,000 ppm Ni or 0.1 ppm Au with up to 4m of internal dilution allowed.
- Given the angle of the drill holes and the interpreted 60-65 degree westerly 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 a number of key assets at various levels of development with exposure to gold, nickel, copper and platinum group elements (PGE's), including the Mt Fisher Gold Project (WA), the Fisher East Nickel Project (WA), the Collurabbie Nickel-Copper-PGE Project (WA), and the Bonya Copper Project (NT).
Mt Fisher Gold-Nickel Project (100% + Option to Purchase)
The Mt Fisher 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 several nickel sulphide deposits. The total project area is 675km2 , consisting of a 600km2 area 100% owned by Rox and an Option to purchase 100% of a further 75km2 of nickel and gold prospective ground.
Discovery of, and drilling at the Camelwood, Cannonball and Musket nickel prospects has defined a JORC 2012 Mineral Resource (ASX:RXL 5 February 2016) of 2.0Mt grading 2.5% Ni reported at 1.5% Ni cut-off (Indicated Mineral Resource: 1.9Mt grading 2.5% Ni, Inferred Mineral Resource: 0.1Mt grading 2.3% Ni) comprising massive and disseminated nickel sulphide mineralisation, and containing 50,600 tonnes of nickel. Higher grade mineralisation is present in all deposits (refer to ASX announcement above), and is still open at depth beneath each deposit. Additional nickel sulphide deposits continue to be discovered (e.g. 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.
Collurabbie Gold-Nickel Project (100%)
The Collurabbie project is located in the highly prospective North Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia and is prospective for gold and nickel. The project area of 123km2 hosts the Olympia nickel sulphide deposit and a number of other prospects for nickel sulphide mineralisation. A JORC 2012 Inferred Mineral Resource of 573,000t grading 1.63% Ni, 1.19% Cu, 0.082% Co, 1.49g/t Pd, 0.85g/t Pt has been defined at Olympia. The style of nickel sulphide mineralisation is different to that at Fisher East, with a significant copper and PGE component at Collurabbie, and has been compared to the Raglan nickel deposits in Canada (>1Mt contained nickel).
In addition there is potential for gold mineralisation, with several strong drilling intersections including 2m @ 2.4g/t Au from the Naxos prospect.
Bonya Copper Project (51%)
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, and a joint venture between Rox (51%) and Arafura (49%) is now in operation.

The following information is provided to comply with the JORC (2012) requirements for the reporting of the aircore drilling results on tenement E38/2009.
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Samplingtechniques | Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cutchannels,randomchips,orspecificspecialised industry standard measurementtools appropriate to the minerals underinvestigation, such as down hole gammasondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc).These examples should not be taken aslimiting the broad meaning of sampling. | The program of Aircore drilling entailed 104 holes for 5,427m.All drill holes were angled at -600 towards 0900 (MGA94 east),designed to intersect geology generally as close to perpendicularas possible. Sampling was undertaken by collecting 2-5 metrecomposite samples and single 1m intervals. Drill spoils werescanned with pXRF as a preliminary screening tool and a guideto sampling. Not all samples were assayed. |
| Include reference to measures taken toensuresamplerepresentivityandtheappropriate calibration of any measurementtools or systems used | Drillhole locations were picked up by handheld GPS. Logging ofdrill samples included lithology, weathering, texture, moistureand contamination. Sampling protocols and QAQC are as perindustry best practice procedures. | |
| Aspectsofthedeterminationofmineralisation that are Material to the PublicReport. In cases where 'industry standard'work has been done this would be relativelysimple (e.g. 'reverse circulation drilling wasused to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kgwas pulverised to produce a 30 g charge forfire assay'). In other cases more explanationmay be required, such as where there iscoarse gold that has inherent samplingproblems.Unusualcommoditiesormineralisationtypes(e.g.submarinenodules) may warrant disclosure of detailedinformation | Aircore drilling was sampled (scooped) using a combination ofcomposite sampling (2m to 5m) and single 1m sampling.Samples were delivered to Intertek Genalysis in Kalgoorlie,crushed to 10mm, dried and pulverised (total prep) in LM5 units(Some samples > 3kg were split) to produce a sub-sample.The pulps were then sent to Perth for analysis. Ni-Cu-PGMsamples were assayed by a Four Acid Digest with a multielement ICP-OES finish (for elements including Ni, Cu, Co, Cr,Mg, Fe. Intertek code: 4A/OE-multi-element) and Fire Assay forAu-Pt-Pd (Intertek code FA25/MS). Au, Pt and Pd were analysedby 25 gram fire assay with a mass spectrometer finish.Au-only samples were assayed via 10gram aqua regia (Intertekcode AR10/MS). | |
| Drillingtechniques | Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation,open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger,Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (e.g. corediameter, triple or standard tube, depth ofdiamond tails, face-sampling bit or othertype, whether core is oriented and if so, bywhat method, etc). | Drilling technique was aircore (AC) with hole diameter of 85mm.Maximum hole depth was 113m. |
| Drill samplerecovery | Method of recording and assessing core andchipsamplerecoveriesandresultsassessed | Aircore recoveries were logged and recorded in the database.Overall recoveries were good and there were no significantrecovery problems. |
| Measurestakentomaximisesamplerecovery and ensure representative natureof the samples | Aircore samples were collected from the rig-mounted cyclone bybucket and placed directly on the ground in rows of 10. Sampleswere visually checked for recovery, moisture and contaminationand notes made in the logs. | |
| Whether a relationship exists betweensample recovery and grade and whethersample bias may have occurred due topreferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. | There is no observable relationship between recovery andgrade, and therefore no sample bias. |

| Quality control procedures adopted for allsub-samplingstagestomaximise | At this stage of the exploration, field QC involves the review oflaboratory supplied certified reference material, in housecontrols, blanks, splits and duplicates. These QC results arereported by the laboratory with final assay results. | |
| representivity of samples. | Anomalous samples were checked against logging and fieldobservations. Selected samples were re-analysed to confirmanomalous results. | |
| Measures taken to ensure that the samplingis representative of the in situ materialcollected, including for instance results forfield duplicate/second-half sampling. | No field duplicates were taken. | |
| Whether sample sizes are appropriate to thegrain size of the material being sampled. | The sample sizes are considered more than adequate to ensurethat there are no particle size effects. | |
| Quality of assaydata andlaboratory tests | The nature, quality and appropriateness ofthe assaying and laboratory proceduresusedandwhetherthetechniqueisconsidered partial or total. | A complete four-acid digest followed by multi-element ICP/OESanalysis (Intertek analysis code 4A/OE33) was undertaken. Thefour acid digest involves hydrofluoric, nitric, perchloric andhydrochloric acids and is considered a "complete" digest formost material types, except certain chromite minerals. Selectsamples were also analysed with a 25 gram Fire Assay with amass spectrometer finish for Au-Pt-Pd (Intertek code FA25/MS).The majority gold targeted drillholes were assayed for gold onlyvia 10gram aqua regia (Intertek code AR10/MS). |
| Forgeophysicaltools,spectrometers,handheldXRFinstruments,etc,theparameters used in determining the analysisincluding instrument make and model,reading times, calibrations factors appliedand their derivation, etc. | No geophysical or portable analysis tools were used todetermine assay values stored in the database. | |
