8 AUGUST 2018 R R L 1 5 8 2 D HELIOS ACQUIRES BRONZEWING SOUTH GOLD PROJECT

Rox Resources Limited (ASX: RXL) (“Rox” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that its 100%-owned subsidiary, Helios Gold Limited (“Helios”) has acquired an option to purchase the Bronzewing South gold project from private company, Carnegie Exploration Pty Ltd (“Carnegie”).

Rox plans to list Helios on the Australian Stock Exchange (“ASX”) via an Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) in the near future (ASX:RXL 8 May 2018).

The Bronzewing South gold project complements Helios’ existing Mt Fisher gold project which hosts mineral resources of 1.0 Mt @ 2.7 g/tAu for 89,000 ounces gold (ASX:RXL 11 July 2018) (Figure 1).

There are seven tenements covering 115 km[2] comprising the Bronzewing South project, located south and west of the Bronzewing gold mine (Figure 2), including E36/854 which was famously fought over in the High Court by a number of parties in the late 1990’s.

There are a number of historic drill intersections* from the tenements including:

4m @ 6.53 g/tAu from 56m depth, and 4m @ 2.03 g/tAu from 108m depth, in aircore drilling, and

4m @ 2.36 g/tAu from 124m depth, 1m @ 5.67 g/tAu from 127m depth, and

1m @ 4.42 g/tAu from 230m depth, in RC drilling

* Sourced from old Mines Dept reports by Audax Resources and Newmont Exploration Pty Ltd (See Appendix JORC Table).

Aircore results from tenement E36/854 (south of the Bronzewing mine) indicate untested gold anomalism along a trend east of where previous exploration for the southerly extension of the Bronzewing gold lodes had focussed. Examination of these data show that a depressed regolith

profile exists here (Figure 3), similar to that originally found in early drilling over the 3.6 million ounce Bronzewing orebody.

The tenements north west of Bronzewing (called the Orelia North trend) are along strike from the Orelia gold deposit recently announced to contain > 1 million ounces of gold (ASX:EAR 14 June 2018), and extension of the shear hosting Orelia has been interpreted to continue into the Helios tenements (Figure 4).

Helios plans to aggressively explore these tenements (and the Mt Fisher tenure) upon a successful IPO and ASX listing.

Commercial Terms

The commercial terms of the option agreement are:

  1. Payment of a non-refundable deposit of $20,000 cash up signing of the agreement for a six- month option period,

  2. Payment of $80,000 cash and the issue of 2,000,000 shares in Helios to Carnegie upon the successful IPO and ASX listing of Helios (at this point the option will have been exercised),

  3. A further issue of $725,000 in cash or Helios shares when an Inferred Mineral Resource of greater than 250,000 ounces of gold is announced by Helios, and

  4. $1,250,000 in cash or Helios shares when an Indicated Mineral Resource of greater than 500,000 ounces of gold is announced by Helios.

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), and the Collurabbie Nickel-Copper-PGE Project (WA).

Fisher East Nickel Project (100%)

The Fisher East nickel project is located in the North Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia and hosts several nickel sulphide deposits. The total project area is ~350km[2] .

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.

Mt Fisher Gold Project (100%)

The Mt Fisher gold project is located in the North Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia, adjacent to the Fisher East nickel project, and hosts several gold deposits. The total project area is ~220km[2] .

Drilling by Rox has also defined numerous high-grade gold targets and a JORC 2012 Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource (ASX:RXL 11 July 2018) of 1.0 million tonnes grading 2.7 g/t Au reported at a 0.8 g/tAu cut-off exists for 89,000 ounces of gold (Measured: 170,000 tonnes grading 4.1 g/t Au, Indicated: 220,000 tonnes grading 2.7 g/t Au, Inferred: 630,000 tonnes grading 2.3 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 123km[2] 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 (ASX:RXL 18 August 2017). 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 (40%)

Rox (40%) has agreeed to sell its interest in the Bonya project to Thor Mining PLC for A$550,000 in Thor shares (29 March 2018). Completion is expected during the next quarter.
