ASX: RXL ASX Announcement 11 November 2025

First cut fired at Youanmi Gold Project
Blasting at United North pit exploration decline commences
WA gold exploration and development company Rox Resources Limited ( “Rox” or “the Company” ) ( ASX: RXL ) is pleased to provide an update on development of its 100%-owned Youanmi Gold Project in Western Australia.
Highlights:
-
First decline cut at United North pit successfully fired
-
Site works progressing for next phases of development and construction
-
Updated indicative commitments from Lenders confirm strong Project bankability
Managing Director & CEO Mr Phill Wilding commented:
“ We have officially commenced underground mining operations at our Youanmi Gold Project, with the first cut fired at the United North pit, marking a major milestone in our pathway towards production.
“Successful firings continued to occur over the weekend to square up the face and take the first full cut, with the team now preparing the batch plant to allow fibrecreting and continued development to advance.
“On the corporate front, debt providers have reaffirmed indicative credit endorsed term sheets over the past week, with debt appetite consistent with the Company’s expected funding requirements on competitive terms.
“This show of support from debt providers comes as the Definitive Feasibility Study nears completion, which we believe will present a highly compelling business case for the full-scale development of Youanmi. “Momentum is truly gaining as we continue to advance our plan to become one of the highest-grade new gold producers in Western Australia.”
First cut at United North
Rox Resources has established the exploration decline at United North pit with the first firings completed.
The Byrnecut Australia team has delivered this significant development activity on time as per the mobilisation plan, with the first trim shot fired on Saturday 8 November, followed by decline cut on Sunday.
Works are now progressing to commission the batch plant to commence fibrecreting the initial sections of the decline, allowing continuous mining to start in the coming week.

Competent Persons Statement
Exploration Results
The information in this release that relates to Data and Exploration Results is based on information compiled and reviewed by Andrew Shaw-Stuart a Competent Person who is a Fellow Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists (AIG). Mr Shaw-Stuart is the Exploration Manager for Rox Resources and holds securities and performance rights in the Company. The aforementioned has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of target/deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the Australian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Mr Shaw-Stuart consents to the inclusion in the release of the matters based on the information in the form and context in which it appears.
Where reference is made to previous releases of exploration results in this announcement, the Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in those announcements and all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the exploration results included in those announcements continue to apply and have not materially changed.
The information in this report that relates to previous Exploration Results was prepared and first disclosed under the JORC Code 2012 and has been properly and extensively cross-referenced in the text to the date of the original announcement to the ASX.
Resource Statements
The information in this report that relates to Mineral Resources at the Youanmi Gold Project is based on information compiled by Steve Le Brun, a Competent Person who is a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr Le Brun is the Principal Resource Geologist for Rox Resources and holds shares and performance rights in the Company. Mr Le Brun has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’. Mr Le Brun consents to the inclusion in this report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.
Production Target
The Production Target and forecast financial information derived from the Production Target referred to in this release are underpinned by Indicated Mineral Resources (approximately 71%) and Inferred Mineral Resources (approximately 29%). The total Life of Mine Production Target includes 29% Inferred Resources ounces, 7% Indicated Resource ounces outside of Reserve and the remaining 64% is underpinned by Probable Ore Reserves. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Mineral Resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of Indicated Mineral Resources or that the Production Target or forecast financial information reported will be realised. Accordingly, the Company has scheduled the Production Target such that Inferred Mineral Resources do not feature as a significant proportion of the first 4 years of the 9-year mine plan. Approximately 19% of the Production Target material mined over the first 4 years is underpinned by Inferred Mineral Resources. The Company is satisfied that the Inferred Mineral Resources partially underpinning the Production Target is not the determining factor of the viability of the Youanmi Gold Project.
Pre-Feasibility Study
The information in this announcement that relates to the production target for the Youanmi Gold Project was reported by Rox in accordance with ASX Listing Rules and the JORC Code (2012 edition) in the announcement “Youanmi Gold Project - Positive Pre-Feasibility Study” released to the ASX on 24 July 2024, and for which the consent of the Competent Person Mr Daniel Marchesi was obtained. A copy of that announcement is available at www.asx.com.au. Rox confirms it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in that market announcement and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the production target, and the related forecast financial information derived from the production target in that market announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed. Rox confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Person's findings are presented have not been materially modified from that market announcement.
