New high-grade drill results confirm Paddy’s Lode discovery at Youanmi

- High grade mineralisation now intersected up to 200m south of previous bonanza intercept of 28m @ 34.81g/t

  • Diamond drilling to follow up on the bonanza 28m @ 34.81g/t drill intercept has confirmed the discovery of a significant new mineralised lode at Youanmi.

  • Initial results for the first follow-up diamond holes include:

  • RXDD080: 5.70m @ 8.26g/t Au from 233.30m

  • RXDD095: 5.08m @ 9.56g/t Au from 225.80m

  • RXDD098: 3.32m @ 8.29g/t Au from 200.05m

  • The newly-discovered Paddy’s Lode (initially termed Youanmi South) has a similar strike and dip extent to the Youanmi Main Lodes, with similar mineralised widths.

  • The Rox exploration team believes that this new lode is the southern offset of the Youanmi Main Lode, offset by a post-mineral fault

  • Additional follow-up diamond holes have also intersected the new lode structure, revealing a well-developed shear structure of similar widths to the Youanmi Main Lode. Assays are pending for these potential mineralised intersections.

Rox Resources Limited (“Rox” or “the Company”) ( ASX: RXL ) , in conjunction with its joint venture partner Venus Metals Corporation (ASX: VMC), is pleased to confirm the discovery of a new high-grade mineralised position immediately south of the Youanmi Main Lode at its 3.2Moz Youanmi Gold Project (OYG JV), located near Mt Magnet in WA.

The new mineralised lode, referred to previously as the ‘Youanmi South’ prospect, has now been intersected over a considerable strike and dip extent, confirming its significance as an important new discovery within the Youanmi gold field (Figure 2).

In light of this, the mineralised structure has been named the Paddy’s Lode after the former Director of Operations at Youanmi Gold Mines Ltd, Patrick (Paddy) Fitzgerald. Mr Fitzgerald led Youanmi Gold Mines through one of is most prosperous periods with the company producing more than 100,000oz of gold from shafts located just to the North of Paddy’s Lode between 1937 and 1942.

==> picture [70 x 65] intentionally omitted <==

Current drilling has intersected the mineralised shear structure at Paddy’s Lode up to approximately 200m south of the bonanza discovery intercept of 28m @ 34.81g/t from RXRC458 reported earlier this year.

This high-grade, mineralised structure located immediately south of the Youanmi Main Pit represents an extremely exciting opportunity for the Youanmi Gold Project (OYG JV).

The geological interpretation of this mineralised structure is developing, and Rox is prioritising its understanding with an initial phase of diamond drilling. The potential is clearly significant with the mineralised structure remaining open along strike and largely untested up-dip and at depth.

The exceptional drilling results received to date will be followed up immediately with approximately 3,000m of Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling to further develop this new high-grade structure along strike and to test the updip and down-dip extents.

Managing Director Comments

Rox Resources Managing Director, Mr Robert Ryan, said the new batch of high-grade assay results, coupled with visual observations of additional drill intercepts for which assays are pending, has confirmed Paddy’s Lode as a significant new discovery within the historic Youanmi gold field.

“Diamond drilling has provided important structural information that has helped to define a significant new mineralised position which we believe has enormous potential.

“Put simply, Paddy’s Lode is emerging as a likely game-changing discovery which has now been defined over a strike length of 200m and has the potential to extend significantly further to the south.

“Early indications are that the structure is an offset of the Youanmi Main Lode to the south and, given historical underground gold production of 411koz from the Youanmi Main lode, Paddy’s Lode presents a new, unmined mineralised system with huge growth potential.

“RC drilling will commence in the coming weeks as we look to build upon the known extents of the Paddy’s mineralised system and to test for near-surface mineralisation.”

Paddy’s Lode Drilling Results

Diamond drilling designed to follow up the Paddy’s Lode discovery hole (RXRC458, 28m @ 34.81g/t Au) initially targeted the up-dip and down-dip positions of this intercept.

The down-dip drill hole (RXDD080) showed a well-developed shear zone with similar widths and strike-trend to the Youanmi Main lode.

  • RXDD080: 5.70m @ 8.26g/t Au from 233.30m

The up-dip drill hole (RXDD097) also showed mineralised shearing with a similar strike-trend to the Youanmi Main Lode. As the drill hole was located proximal to the approximately 200m offsetting sinistral fault, the hole is believed to have passed through the disrupted drag fault zone proximal to the offsetting fault.

This resulted in two thinner mineralised shear zones:

  • RXDD097: 0.48m @ 4.60g/t Au from 225.26m; and

0.34m @ 4.44g/t Au from 237.33

The next two follow-up diamond drill holes tested targets to the south of the discovery hole following the striketrend of the structural measurements taken from the initial two diamond drill holes.

These two drill holes (RXDD095 & RXDD098) showed a well-developed shear zone with a similar strike-trend to the Youanmi Main Lode:

  • RXDD095: 5.08m @ 9.56g/t Au from 225.80m

  • RXDD098: 3.32m @ 8.29g/t Au from 200.05m

These three drill holes have only had the assays received for the immediate main shear zone to date. Assays are still pending for the remainder of the drill-hole. A number of thinner, sulphide-rich shear zones were geologically logged and there remains the potential to define additional parallel striking hanging and footwall wall lodes to the main shear zone.

Four additional diamond holes have been drilled through the target structure. All holes have intersected the well-developed shear zone with assays pending. The last of the diamond holes (RXDD102) is being extended to test for potential additional lodes to the east of the newly discovered “Paddy” Lode (see Figures 3, 4 and 5).

  • RXDD099: Shear zone intercepted. Assays pending.

  • RXDD100: Shear zone intercepted. Assays pending.

  • RXDD101: Shear zone intercepted. Assays pending.

  • RXDD102: Shear zone intercepted. Assays pending.

The mineralised shear zones intersected all show a well-developed shear zone with clear contacts to a package of mafic rock, generally basalt. The level of shearing varies from moderate to intense, with pyrite and arsenopyrite sulphides present varying generally from one to two percent, but up to five percent in zones.

It is observed in the drill hole closest to the sinistral offsetting fault (RXDD097) that there is a potential drag fault disrupted zone due to the approximate 200m offset displacement. Drill-holes intersecting the mineralised structure to the south of the offsetting fault show a well-developed clear cohesive shear zone with sharp contact boundaries up against a relatively unsheared surrounding mafic rock package.

From the drilling and results to date, this newly discovered mineralised lode is most likely to represent the southern offset of the Youanmi Main Lode. The gold intercepts show similar mineralised widths to the Youanmi Main Lode, but more exciting is the fact that the gold grades returned to date are generally of a higher tenor compared to the Youanmi Main Lode.

Next Steps

Now that the strike and dip of the newly-discovered Paddy’s Lode has been established, the structure will be further developed with a series of RC drill holes to test the up-dip extension through the transition and oxide zones. One of the main objectives of this RC drilling is to test for a potential supergene mineralised zone in the oxide zone. The understanding of E-W faults in offsetting strongly mineralised zones, will be important in future exploration targeting.

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.

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.

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.

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 dip and strike of the mineralisation is generally
understood, but it is yet to be fully determined.
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

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
mylonite

geological setting and style of and in solid solution in arsenopyrite. The lodes
contain between 10% and 25% sulphide, the principal
species being pyrite (10% to 20%) and arsenopyrite
(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
three main areas or fault blocks by cross-cutting steep
south-east trending faults; and these are named
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
dipping shear zone that traverses the northwest
trending succession.

JORC Table 1 - Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Drill hole
Information
A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results including a
tabulation of the following information for all Material drill
holes:

easting and northing of the drill hole collar

elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation
above sea level in metres) of the drill hole
collar

dip and azimuth of the hole

down hole length and interception depth

hole length.
Refer to drill results Table/s and the Notes attached
thereto.
Data aggregation
methods
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.
