==> picture [70 x 65] intentionally omitted <==
West Australian gold exploration and development company Rox Resources Limited (“Rox” or “the Company”) ( ASX: RXL ) , in conjunction with its joint venture partner Venus Metals Corporation (ASX: VMC), is pleased to report further significant assay results from the ongoing resource development program at the 3.2Moz Youanmi Gold Project (OYG JV), located near Mt Magnet in WA.
The assays are from a recently completed 28,507m (increased from 23,000m) resource development and nearmine 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.
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.
Near-mine exploration drilling was focused on further evaluating the Midway exploration target identified in 2021, as well as the more recent Paddy’s Lode discovery in the Youanmi South Project area identified in early 2023.
Both prospects continue to demonstrate significant upside potential for the Youanmi Gold Project which will be an important focus for ongoing exploration. A geophysical survey has commenced recently to help further define the high-grade dilatational zones for the next phase of drill targeting.
Managing Director Comments
Rox Resources’ Managing Director, Mr Robert Ryan, said the latest drilling results continued to improve confidence in the Resource at Link while also reinforcing the exciting upside potential at both Midway and Paddy’s Lode.
“The latest two holes from Link continue to confirm the current geological interpretations and will improve the confidence in the Inferred Mineral Resources. Assays are outstanding for the four remaining diamond holes, which we expect will further increase confidence in the Resource and set the foundation for the Mineral Resource update targeted for later this year.
“Results from the near-mine discovery at Midway also continue to impress with high-grade results returned at excellent underground mining widths. The high-grade zone at Midway has been intersected over a 150m strike and 200m vertical extent and is still open along strike and down plunge.
“Meanwhile RC drilling at Paddy’s Lode targeting the potential for shallow high-grade material up-dip of the discovery holes has returned a broad zone of lower grade mineralisation close to the east-west offsetting fault.
“Our interpretation is that high-grade mineralisation appears to be constrained within 80m to 100m of the E-W fault, but remains open down-plunge. Similar to the Youanmi Main Lode and Link, further dilatations of the mineralised structure will yield further high-grade exploration targets and the geophysical survey currently underway will provide valuable information to target these high-grade zones both to the north, and stepping along strike to the south.
“We are still a long way from unravelling the potential of this emerging Paddy’s Lode area and we remain confident in the potential of this area to host a significant zone of high-grade mineralisation. With the help of the current geophysical survey, we look forward to getting rigs back on the ground for the next phase of exploration.”

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 (13 June 2023), assay results have now been received for two diamond tails. The resource definition drilling program is now complete with assays for just four diamond tails yet to be received (Figures 3 and 4).
The Link resource drilling continues to confirm the current interpretation and expected grade tenor of the deposit. The full list of significant results is shown in Table 2, with highlight drill intercepts for Link including:
-
RXDD090: 5.86m @ 2.87g/t Au from 393.83m, incl:

Exploration Drilling Results
The near-mine exploration drilling focused on the developing high-grade Midway structure, as well as Paddy’s Lode in the Youanmi South project area.
The Midway drilling surpassed expectations with multiple high-grade results that demonstrate the high-grade nature of this developing lode structure. High grade mineralisation has been intersected over a 150m strike and 200m vertical extent and remains open along strike and down plunge (Figures 5 and 6). The results for all diamond holes following up the Paddy’s Lode structure have now been received. The Youanmi main and Link mineralised zones further to the North are defined by high-grade dilation zones that pinch and swell along strike. The dilatational zone at Paddy’s looks to be initially over a strike of 80 to 100m from the E-W offsetting fault, however with the continuation of mineralised structure further to the south, there will likely be further dilatational zones along the trend. The geophysical survey that is underway will help define these dilatational zones for follow-up drilling later in the year.
Assay results for 11 of the 15 completed RC drill-holes testing the up-dip extension of mineralisation at Paddy’s Lode and potential oxide/supergene mineralisation have been received. The eight holes received have intersected low-grade mineralisation indicating that there is a significant depletion zone above the Paddy’s Lode. Paddy’s lode looks to be a high-grade, blind target, with further work required to understand this structurally complex area. The results for four RC holes are still pending.
The RC drilling at Youanmi South returned 3m @ 3.46g/t Au (RXRC459) on the northern side of the major E-W offsetting structure demonstrating that further exploration drilling is required on the north side of the offsetting structure.

JORC Table 1 - Section 1 Data and Sampling Techniques
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation Commentary |
|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. RC hole diameter was 5.5" (140 mm) reverse circulation percussion (RC). Sampling of RC holes was undertaken by collecting 1m cone split samples at intervals. Diamond drill hole core size is NQ2 size diameter through the mineralisation. Sampling of diamond holes was by cut half core as described further below. Drill holes were generally angled at -600towards grid northeast (but see Table for individual hole dips and azimuths) to intersect geology as close to perpendicular as possible. |
| Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used Drillhole locations were picked up by differential GPS. Logging of drill samples included lithology, weathering, texture, moisture and contamination (as applicable). Sampling protocols and QAQC are as per industry best practice procedures. |
|
| Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information RC drillholes were sampled on 1m intervals using a cone splitter. A nominal 3-4kg sample is taken and analysed for gold by Fire Assay 50g (FA50). Diamond core is dominantly NQ2 size, sampled on geological intervals, with a minimum of 0.3 m up to a maximum of 1.2 m. The diamond core was cut in half, with one half sent to the lab and one half retained. The sample was analysed for gold by Fire Assay 50g (FA50). |
|
| Drilling techniques |
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc). Drilling technique was Reverse Circulation (RC) and diamond core (DD). The RC hole diameter was 140mm face sampling hammer. |
| Drill sample recovery |
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed RC drill recoveries were high (>90%). |
| Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples Samples were visually checked for recovery, moisture and contamination and notes made in the logs. |
|
| Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. There is no observable relationship between recovery and grade, and therefore no sample bias. |

JORC Table 1 - Section 1 Data and Sampling Techniques
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation Commentary |
|---|---|
| Logging | Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. Detailed geological logs have been carried out on all RC, but no geotechnical data have been recorded (or is possible to be recorded due to the nature of the sample). Detailed geological and geotechnical logs were carried out on all diamond drill holes for recovery, RQD, structures etc. which included structure type, dip, dip direction, alpha angle, beta angle, texture, shape, roughness, fill material, and this data is stored in the database. The geological data would be suitable for inclusion in a Mineral Resource estimate. |
| Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. Logging of diamond core and RC chips recorded lithology, mineralogy, mineralisation, weathering, colour, and other sample features. RC chips are stored in plastic RC chip trays. |
|
| The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged All holes were logged in full. |
|
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. Drill core was cut in half on site using a core saw. All samples were collected from the same side of the core, preserving the orientation mark in the kept core half. |
| If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. RC samples were collected on the drill rig using a cone splitter. If any mineralised samples were collected wet these were noted in the drill logs and database. |
|
| For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. The sample preparation followed industry best practice. Fire Assay samples were dried, coarse crushing to ~10mm, followed by pulverisation of the entire sample in an LM5 or equivalent pulverising mill to a grind size of 85% passing 75 micron. |
|
| Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. Field QC procedures involve the use of Certified Reference Materials (CRM’s) as assay standards, along with duplicates and blank samples. The insertion rate of the CRM’s was approximately 1:20, and blank sample insertion rate was approximately 1:50. |
|
| Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. For RC drilling field duplicates were taken on a routine basis at an approximate 1:20 ratio using the same sampling techniques (i.e. cone splitter) and inserted into the sample run. No diamond core field duplicates were taken. |
|
| Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. The sample sizes are considered more than adequate to ensure that there are no particle size effects relating to the grain size of the mineralisation which lies in the percentage range. |
|
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. The analytical technique involved Fire Assay 50g. |

| Criteria | JORC Code explanation Commentary |
|---|---|
| For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. No geophysical or portable analysis tools were used to determine assay values stored in the database. |
|
| Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established. Internal laboratory control procedures involve duplicate assaying of randomly selected assay pulps as well as internal laboratory standards. All of these data are reported to the Company and analysed for consistency and any discrepancies. |
|
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. Senior personnel from the Company have visually inspected mineralisation within significant intersections. |
| The use of twinned holes. No twinned holes to date. |
|
| Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. Primary data was collected using a standard set of Excel templates on Toughbook laptop computers in the field. These data are transferred to Geobase Pty Ltd for data verification and loading into the database. |
|
| Discuss any adjustment to assay data. No adjustments or calibrations have been made to any assay data. |
|
| Location of data points |
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drillholes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. Drill hole locations have been established using a differential GPS with an accuracy of +/- 0.3m. |
| Specification of the grid system used. The grid system is MGA_GDA94, zone 50 for easting, northing and RL. |
|
| Quality and adequacy of topographic control. The topography of the mined open pits is well defined by historic monthly survey pickups |
|
| Data spacing and distribution |
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. RC and diamond drill hole spacing varies 40-200 metres between drill sections, with some areas at 40 metre drill section spacing. Down dip step-out distance varies 20-100 metres. |
| Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. Data spacing and distribution are sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for JORC (2012) classifications applied. |
|
| Whether sample compositing has been applied. No sample compositing has occurred for diamond core drilling. Sample intervals are based on geological boundaries with even one metre samples between. For RC samples, 1m samples through target zones were sent to the laboratory for analysis. The remainder of the hole was sampled using 4m composite samples. For 4m composite samples >0.2g/t Au, 1m samples were collected and sent to the laboratory for analysis. |

JORC Table 1 - Section 1 Data and Sampling Techniques
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation Commentary |
|---|---|
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. The mineralisation strikes generally WNW and dips to the SW at approximately -60 degrees. The drill orientation was 065 and -60 dip. Drilling is believed to be generally perpendicular to strike. |
| If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should 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. After preparation in the field samples are packed into polyweave bags and despatched to the laboratory. For a large number of samples these bags were transported by the Company directly to the assay laboratory. In some cases the sample were delivered by a transport contractor the assay laboratory. The assay laboratory audits the samples on arrival and reports any discrepancies back to the Company. No such discrepancies occurred. |
| Audits or reviews | The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. No audits have yet been completed. |

| Geology | The Youanmi Project straddles a 40km strike length | |||||||
| of the Youanmi Greenstone Belt, lying within the | ||||||||
| Southern Cross Province of the Archaean Yilgarn | ||||||||
| Craton in Western Australia. The greenstone belt is | ||||||||
| approximately 80km long and 25km wide, and | ||||||||
| incorporates an arcuate, north-trending major crustal | ||||||||
| structure termed the Youanmi Fault Zone. This | ||||||||
| structure separates two discordant greenstone | ||||||||
| terrains, with the stratigraphy to the west |
||||||||
| characterised by a series of weakly deformed, layered | ||||||||
| mafic complexes (Windimurra, Black Range, |
||||||||
| Youanmi and Barrambie) enveloped by strongly | ||||||||
| deformed, north-northeast trending greenstones. | ||||||||
| Gold mineralisation is developed semi-continuously in | ||||||||
| shear zones over a strike length of 2,300m along the | ||||||||
| western margin of the Youanmi granite. | ||||||||
| Gold is intimately associated with sulphide minerals | ||||||||
| and silicates in zones of strong hydrothermal | ||||||||
| alteration and structural deformation. Typical | ||||||||
| Youanmi lode material consists of a sericite- | ||||||||
| carbonate- quartz- pyrite- arsenopyrite schist or | ||||||||

| (1% to 5%). | ||||||||
| There are a series of major fault systems cutting | ||||||||
| through the Youanmi trend mineralisation that have | ||||||||
| generated some significant off-sets. | ||||||||
| The Youanmi Deeps project area is subdivided into | ||||||||

| Pollard, Main, and Hill End from south to north | ||||||||
| respectively. | ||||||||
| Granite hosted gold mineralisation occurs at several | ||||||||
| sites, most notably Grace and the Plant Zone | ||||||||
| Prospects. Gold mineralization occurs as free | ||||||||
| particles within quartz-sericite altered granite shear | ||||||||
| zones. | ||||||||
| The Commonwealth-Connemarra mineralised trend | ||||||||
| is centred 4km northwest of the Youanmi plant. The | ||||||||
| geology comprises a sequence of folded mafic and | ||||||||
| felsic volcanic rocks intercalated with BIF and | ||||||||
| intruded by granite along the eastern margin. Gold | ||||||||
| mineralisation is developed over a 600m strike length, | ||||||||
| associated with a north trending and steeply west | ||||||||

In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. All reported assay intervals have been length weighted. No top cuts have been applied. A lower cut- off of 0.5g/t Au was applied for RC and diamond core. |
| Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high-grade results and longer lengths of low-grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. Mineralisation over 0.5g/t Au has been included in aggregation of intervals for RC and diamond core. |
|
| The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. No metal equivalent values have been used or reported. |
|
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, 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 to the west at approximately -60 degrees. Drill orientations are usually 060 degrees and -60 dip. Drilling is believed to be generally perpendicular to strike. Given the angle of the drill holes and the interpreted dip of the host rocks and mineralisation (see Figures in the text), reported intercepts approximate true width. |
| Diagrams | Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. Refer to Figures and Table in the text. |
| Balanced reporting |
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. Representative reporting of both low and high grades and widths is practiced. |
| Other substantive exploration 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 and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. All meaningful and material information has been included in the body of the announcement. |
