Spectacular high-grade gold results delivered from Link

  • o Link is a fast-developing strike extension to the historically mined lodes at Youanmi, and benefits from its proximity to established underground infrastructure.
  • o Recent assay batch received from Youanmi resource development drilling at Link include:
    • o RXDD088: 24.43m @ 12.79g/t Au from 369.00m, incl:
    • 6.03m @ 25.01g/t Au from 372.97m, and:
    • 1.87m @ 28.65g/t Au from 383.13m, and:
    • 2.68m @ 36.51g/t Au from 390.75m
    • o RXDD092: 7.73m @ 3.12g/t Au from 366.90m, incl:
    • 4.10m @ 4.65g/t Au from 366.90m
    • o RXDD093: 3.89m @ 5.75g/t Au from 408.00m, incl:
    • 1.93m @ 9.21g/t Au from 409.96m, and:

    • 2.15m @ 13.50g/t Au from 412.51m
  • o These results strongly support Rox's agenda of moving resources at Link to a higher confidence category to support feasibility studies and to also demonstrate significant resource upside.
  • o The consistency of the high-grade results received-to-date bodes well for future Resource updates as well as for potential depth extensions.
  • o Further phase of RC drilling currently underway testing advanced near-mine targets and greenfield regional targets.

West Australian gold exploration and development company Rox Resources Limited ("Rox" or "the Company") (ASX: RXL) is pleased to report spectacular assay results received from resource development drilling at its flagship 100%-owned 3.2Moz Youanmi Gold Project, located near Mt Magnet in WA.

The assays are from the recently completed 28,507m (increased from 23,000m) resource development and near-mine exploration drilling program. Resource development drilling, which was

focused on the high-priority Link and Kathleen areas of the project, was designed to convert Inferred Resources to the higher confidence Indicated Resource classification. Results continue to confirm the substantial gold endowment of the Youanmi Project.

Drilling at Link was designed to target an upgrade of the Inferred Resource over a strike length of 460m and between 230m and 475m below surface. Assays received to date at Link have provided confidence in the geological interpretation and bode well for improving resource confidence as part of future resource updates, while also highlighting the down-dip potential of the ore zone that increasingly looks to be a significant strike extension to the historically mine lodes at Youanmi.

Managing Director Comments

Rox Resources' Managing Director, Mr Robert Ryan, said the final batch of drilling results from the resource definition drilling at Link reinforced the outstanding gold endowment of the Youanmi mineralised system and bode well for feasibility studies.

"The final batch of assay results from Link have proven to be some of the best yet, with a spectacular intercept of 24.43m at 12.79g/t reinforcing the high-grade nature of the Youanmi Gold Project.

"The latest campaign has defined Link down to ~475m below surface, with the mineralisation remaining open and no deeper drilling completely beyond this depth. Given that the Youanmi Main Lode, which sits just next door, has been intersected at depth of up to 970m below surface, we believe there is immense potential for the mineralisation at Link to continue at depth.

"Following our recent consolidation of tenure ownership over the broader high-grade Youanmi belt, drilling is also underway on regional targets that extend from north of Youanmi to south of the Penny West mine. Drilling is currently underway at Curran's Find and our near-mine targets at Youanmi South, with assay results expected in the coming weeks. "

Resource Drilling Results

The diamond and Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program at the Youanmi Project was completed on 11 June 2023 with a total of 28,507 metres drilled.

The resource development drilling focused on converting Inferred Resources to the Indicated Resources classification at the high-priority Link and Kathleen areas (Figure 2). This drilling is targeting high-grade mineralisation over a 460m strike length and to a depth of 475m below surface. The drilling was designed to delineate sufficient Indicated Resources for future feasibility studies, as well as to confirm the continuity of gold grades proximal to the current Indicated Resources.

Following the last ASX announcement (6 July 2023), assay results have now been received for the final four diamond tails. The resource definition drilling program is now complete with all assays now received (Figures 3 and 4).

The Link resource drilling continues to confirm the current interpretation with recent results showing greater than expected grade tenor of the deposit. The full list of significant results is shown in Table 2, with highlight drill intercepts for Link including:

  • RXDD088: 24.43m @ 12.79g/t Au from 369.00m, incl:
    • 6.03m @ 25.01g/t Au from 372.97m, and:
    • 1.87m @ 28.65g/t Au from 383.13m, and:
    • 2.68m @ 36.51g/t Au from 390.75m
  • RXDD092: 7.73m @ 3.12g/t Au from 366.90m, incl:
    • 4.10m @ 4.65g/t Au from 366.90m
  • RXDD093: 3.89m @ 5.75g/t Au from 408.00m, incl:
    • 1.93m @ 9.21g/t Au from 409.96m, and:
    • 1.02m @ 29.88g/t Au from 425.45m
  • RXDD096: 3.84m @ 9.13g/t Au from 412.51m, incl:
    • 2.15m @ 13.50g/t Au from 412.51m*: and*
    • 22.00m @ 1.32g/t Au from 533.00m, incl:
    • 1.22m @ 5.89g/t Au from 542.00m

With all the assay results now received, it is noted that a number of high-grade results from this in-fill and extensional drill program are positioned near the lower limit of the current resource below the historic United North pit, and to the north of the lower defined resource area below the historic Hill End pit, with intercepts including (Figure 4):

RXDD088: 24.43m @ 12.79g/t Au
RXDD052: 4.00m @ 14.85g/t Au; and
1.73m @ 36.91g/t Au
RXDD078: 5.96m @ 5.34g/t Au
RXDD058: 6.53m @ 10.31g/t Au; and
7.61m @ 8.20g/t Au
RXDD096: 3.84m @ 9.13g/t Au

Paddy's Lode

The section of the deposit below 125mRL beneath United North pit represents a strong opportunity to extend the resource area at depth in future drilling programs.

About Rox Resources

Rox Resources (ASX: RXL) is a West Australian focused gold exploration and development company. It is the 100 per cent owner of the historic Youanmi Gold Project near Mt Magnet, approximately 480 kilometres northeast of Perth, and owns the Mt Fisher - Mt Eureka Gold and Nickel Project approximately 140 kilometres southeast of Wiluna, with 100% ownership of certain tenure with the remaining tenure held via a joint venture (Rox 51%, earning into 75%).

Youanmi Project has a Total Mineral Resource of 3.2Moz of contained gold, with potential for further expansion with the integration of existing prospects into the Resource and further drilling. Youanmi was a high-grade gold mine and produced ~667,000oz of gold (at 5.47 g/t Au) before it closed in 1997. It is classified as a disturbed site and is on existing mining leases which have significant existing infrastructure to support a return to mining operations.

Logging Whether core and chip samples have been geologicallyand geotechnically logged to a level of detail to supportappropriate Mineral Resource estimation, miningstudies and metallurgical studies. Detailed geological logs have been carried out on allRC, but no geotechnical data have been recorded (oris possible to be recorded due to the nature of thesample).Detailed geological and geotechnical logs were carriedout on all diamond drill holes for recovery, RQD,structures etc. which included structure type, dip, dipdirection, alpha angle, beta angle, texture, shape,roughness, fill material, and this data is stored in thedatabase.

Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-samplingstages to maximise representivity of samples. Field QC procedures involve the use of CertifiedReference Materials (CRM's) as assay standards,along with duplicates and blank samples. The insertionrate of the CRM's was approximately 1:20, and blanksample insertion rate was approximately 1:50.
Measures taken to ensure that the sampling isrepresentative of the in situ material collected, includingfor instance results for field duplicate/second-halfsampling. For RC drilling field duplicates were taken on a routinebasis at an approximate 1:20 ratio using the samesampling techniques (i.e. cone splitter) and insertedinto the sample run. No diamond core field duplicateswere taken.

Quality and adequacy of topographic control. The topography of the mined open pits is well definedby historic monthly survey pickups
Data spacing anddistribution Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. RC and diamond drill hole spacing varies 40-200metres between drill sections, with some areas at 40metre drill section spacing. Down dip step-out distancevaries 20-100 metres.
Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficientto establish the degree of geological and gradecontinuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource andOreReserveestimationprocedure(s)andclassifications applied. Data spacing and distribution are sufficient to establishthe degree of geological and grade continuityappropriate for JORC (2012) classifications applied.
No sample compositing has occurred for diamond coredrilling. Sample intervals are based on geologicalboundaries with even one metre samples between.
Whether sample compositing has been applied. For RC samples, 1m samples through target zoneswere sent to the laboratory for analysis. The remainderof the hole was sampled using 4m composite samples.For 4m composite samples >0.2g/t Au, 1m sampleswere collected and sent to the laboratory for analysis.

Orientation ofdata in relation togeologicalstructure Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiasedsampling of possible structures and the extent to whichthis is known, considering the deposit type. The mineralisation strikes generally WNW and dips tothe SW at approximately -60 degrees. The drillorientation was 065 and -60 dip. Drilling is believed tobe generally perpendicular to strike.
If the relationship between the drilling orientation andthe orientation of key mineralised structures isconsidered to have introduced a sampling bias, thisshould 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 the Company. Afterpreparation in the field samples are packed intopolyweave bags and despatched to the laboratory. Fora large number of samples these bags weretransported by the Company directly to the assaylaboratory. In some cases the sample were deliveredby a transport contractor the assay laboratory. Theassay laboratory audits the samples on arrival andreports any discrepancies back to the Company. Nosuch discrepancies occurred.
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of samplingtechniques and data. No audits have yet been completed.

Geology Deposittype,geologicalsettingandstyleofmineralisation. The Youanmi Project straddles a 40km strike lengthof the Youanmi Greenstone Belt, lying within theSouthern Cross Province of the Archaean YilgarnCraton in Western Australia. The greenstone belt isapproximately 80km long and 25km wide, andincorporates an arcuate, north-trending major crustalstructure termed the Youanmi Fault Zone. Thisstructure separates two discordant greenstoneterrains,withthestratigraphytothewestcharacterised by a series of weakly deformed, layeredmaficcomplexes(Windimurra,BlackRange,Youanmi and Barrambie) enveloped by stronglydeformed, north-northeast trending greenstones.Gold mineralisation is developed semi-continuously inshear zones over a strike length of 2,300m along thewestern margin of the Youanmi granite.Gold is intimately associated with sulphide mineralsand silicates in zones of strong hydrothermalalteration and structural deformation.TypicalYouanmi lode material consists of a sericitecarbonate-quartz-pyrite-arsenopyrite schist ormylonitewhichfrequentlycontainssignificantconcentrations of gold, commonly as fine, free goldparticles in the silicates, occluded in sulphide mineralsand in solid solution in arsenopyrite. The lodescontain between 10% and 25% sulphide, the principalspecies being pyrite (10% to 20%) and arsenopyrite(1% to 5%).There are a series of major fault systems cuttingthrough the Youanmi trend mineralisation that havegenerated some significant off-sets.The Youanmi Deeps project area is subdivided intothree main areas or fault blocks by cross-cutting steepsouth-east trending faults; and these are namedPollard, Main, and Hill End from south to northrespectively.Granite hosted gold mineralisation occurs at severalsites, most notably Grace and the Plant ZoneProspects. Gold mineralization occurs as freeparticles within quartz-sericite altered granite shearzones.The Commonwealth-Connemarra mineralised trendis centred 4km northwest of the Youanmi plant. Thegeology comprises a sequence of folded mafic andfelsic volcanic rocks intercalated with BIF andintruded by granite along the eastern margin. Goldmineralisation is developed over a 600m strike length,associated with a north trending and steeply westdipping shear zone that traverses the northwesttrending succession.

Drill holeInformation A summaryofall informationmaterialtotheunderstanding of the exploration results including atabulation of the following information for all Material drillholes:•easting and northing of the drill hole collar•elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevationabove sea level in metres) of the drill holecollar•dip and azimuth of the hole•down hole length and interception depth•hole length. Refer to drill results Table/s and the Notes attachedthereto.
Data aggregationmethods In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averagingtechniques,maximumand/orminimumgradetruncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-offgrades are usually Material and should be stated. All reported assay intervals have been lengthweighted. No top cuts have been applied. A lower cutoff of 0.5g/t Au was applied for RC and diamond core.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths ofhigh-grade results and longer lengths of low-graderesults, the procedure used for such aggregation shouldbe stated and some typical examples of suchaggregations should be shown in detail. Mineralisation over 0.5g/t Au has been included inaggregation of intervals for RC and diamond core.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metalequivalent values should be clearly stated. No metal equivalent values have been used orreported.
Relationshipbetweenmineralisationwidths andintercept lengths These relationships are particularly important in thereporting of Exploration Results.If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to thedrill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.If it is not known and only the down hole lengths arereported, there should be a clear statement to this effect(e.g. 'down hole length, true width not known'). The mineralisation strikes generally WNW and dips tothe west at approximately -60 degrees. Drillorientations are usually 060 degrees and -60 dip.Drilling is believed to be generally perpendicular tostrike. Given the angle of the drill holes and theinterpreted dip of the host rocks and mineralisation(see Figures in the text), reported interceptsapproximate true width.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) andtabulations of intercepts should be included for anysignificant discovery being reported These shouldinclude, but not be limited to a plan view of drill holecollar locations and appropriate sectional views. Refer to Figures and Table in the text.
Balancedreporting Where comprehensive reporting of all ExplorationResults is not practicable, representative reporting ofboth low and high grades and/or widths should bepracticed to avoid misleading reporting of ExplorationResults. Representative reporting of both low and high gradesand widths is practiced.
Othersubstantiveexploration 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 andmethod of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulkdensity,groundwater,geotechnicalandrockcharacteristics; potential deleterious or contaminatingsubstances. All meaningful and material information has beenincluded in the body of the announcement.
