INTRODUCTION
The third quarter of 2014 has seen continued outstanding exploration success for Rox Resources Limited (“Rox” or “the Company”).
At the Mt Fisher project in Western Australia an updated Mineral Resource estimate now comprises 3.6 million tonnes grading 2.0% Ni for 72,100 tonnes of contained nickel . Drilling is continuing to further explore and increase these resources. An aircore drilling program has identified a number of new nickel sulphide targets for further exploration. In addition, an aircore and diamond drilling program was undertaken to test a number of gold targets.
The planned 4,000 metre diamond drilling program commenced in late August at the Teena prospect on the Reward project in the Northern Territory, with the first hole extending the mineralised system a further 400m to the west, to a drilled strike length of over 1.5km. Results from this drilling program are expected to continue through the next quarter. The drilling and exploration program is being fully funded and managed by Teck Australia Pty Ltd (“Teck”) under an earn-in and joint venture agreement. Current project interests are Rox 49%, Teck 51%, with Teck currently increasing their interest to 70% by expenditure of $15m by 31 August 2018.
RC drilling at the Bonya copper project to follow up VTEM anomalies has intersected a number of zones of copper sulphide mineralisation, with exceptional results received from massive sulphides at the Bonya Mine prospect. Follow-up drilling is currently underway.

MT FISHER GOLD-NICKEL PROJECT, WA (Rox 100% & option to purchase 100%)
Rox continued exploration and assessment activities at its Mt Fisher project 500km north of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia, (Figure 1) which hosts the Camelwood and Musket nickel sulphide deposits and the Mt Fisher, Moray Reef and Damsel gold deposits. Work included resource estimation, RC drilling and metallurgical testwork at the Musket and Cannonball prospects, plus an aircore exploration program. In addition a diamond hole was drilled at the Dam prospect to test for gold mineralisation.
Updated Mineral Resource
During the quarter Rox completed a maiden Mineral Resource estimate for the Musket nickel sulphide deposit of 2.1 Million tonnes at 1.8% Ni for 37,500 tonnes of contained nickel at a 1.0% nickel lower cut-off. 64% of the resource is in the Indicated Mineral Resource category (Table 1). (ASX:RXL 4 September 2014).
At a higher cut-off grade of 2.5% nickel the Musket Mineral Resource comprises 100,000 tonnes at 10.1% nickel for 10,100 tonnes of contained nickel with approximately 75% in the Indicated Mineral Resource category (Table 2).
Total project resources (Musket + Camelwood) now stand at 3.6 million tonnes at 2.0% nickel containing 72,100 tonnes of contained nickel . Indicated resources account for 52% of the total resource (Table 3 and Figure 5).

Note: Figures may not add up exactly due to rounding errors.
The Camelwood Mineral Resource was previously reported, ASX:RXL 3 October 2013 while the Musket Mineral Resource was reported, ASX:RXL 4 September 2014.
Musket and Cannonball Drilling
During the quarter final assays were received for RC drilling completed during the second quarter. These results included:
MFEC078: 10m @ 2.2% Ni from 154m at Musket, and
MFEC080: 3m @ 4.7% Ni from 168m, including 2m @ 6.0% Ni at Cannonball
Full results are included in Table 4. (ASX:RXL 13 August 2014).
RC holes drilled at the Red Mulga and Corktree prospects failed to intersect any significant nickel sulphide mineralisation, although anomalous results were received from the Red Mulga holes which warrant follow-up.
Regional Exploration
An aircore drilling program (138 holes for 8,083m) was undertaken to explore various nickel sulphide targets interpreted from airborne magnetics and electro-magnetics (Figure 2).
The aircore results have highlighted three new high priority targets for nickel sulphide mineralisation (Figure 7). One (Cutlass) is along strike 4-6km to the south of the known deposits of Camelwood and Musket, while the other two (Jim’s and Fisher South) are located further west on a possibly dislocated portion of the Mt Fisher ultramafic belt. The new targets have values similar to the aircore values that initially defined the Musket and Camelwood prospects. (ASX:RXL 3 September 2014).
Results from Cutlass (Figure 2) included:
FEAC235; 6m @ 0.18% Ni, 181 ppm Cu, 20 ppb Pt+Pd from 56m FEAC240; 12m @ 0.30% Ni, 147ppm Cu, 20 ppb Pt+Pd from 32m, including
1m @ 0.51% Ni, 330ppm Cu, 24ppb Pt+Pd
FEAC262; 4m @ 0.31% Ni, 53ppm Cu from 91m

Drilling at Red Mulga (Figure 3) confirmed additional anomalous nickel there over a strike length of 600m, with results including:
FEAC219; 17m @ 0.35% Ni, 67 ppm Cu, 34 ppb Pt+Pd from 24m FEAC241; 32m @ 0.26% Ni, 36 ppm Cu from 24m FEAC202; 16m @ 0.22% Ni, 51 ppm Cu from 16m
Drilling results from the Jims prospect (Figure 4) included:
MFAC074; 10m @ 0.26% Ni, 265 ppm Cu, 9ppb Pt+Pd from 32m MFAC067; 4m @ 0.20% Ni, 527 ppm Cu, 16 ppb Pt+Pd from 32m MFAC073; 4m @ 0.21% Ni, 575 ppm Cu, 28 ppb Pt+Pd from 32m
At the Fisher South prospect (Figure 4) best results included:
MFAC092; 2m @ 0.20% Ni, 139 ppm Cu, 3 ppb Pt+Pd from 26m MFAC084; 20m @ 0.12% Ni, 504 ppm Cu, 18 ppb Pt+Pd from 22m
A ground electro-magnetic survey to better define the anomalies at Cutlass prior to RC drill testing was commenced early in the fourth quarter.
Camelwood Metallurgical Testwork
Metallurgical testwork continues on massive and disseminated ore samples from Camelwood and Musket. A series of tests have been conducted and results are expected in the fourth quarter.
Gold Target Drilling
Exploration drilling was undertaken on a number of gold exploration targets during the quarter (ASX:RXL 10 September 2014).
One diamond drill hole, MFDD001, was completed at the Dam Central prospect (Figures 6 & 7) to test interpreted structurally controlled gold mineralisation. The hole intersected several zones of gold mineralisation exceeding a 1 g/t Au cut-off as follows:
1.3m @ 5.47 g/t Au from 125.3m 4.4m @ 2.35 g/t Au from 155.0m 2.8m @ 1.74 g/t Au from 164.1m 1.5m @ 1.52 g/t Au from 189.5m 0.4m @ 25.9 g/t Au from 215.8m 1.3m @ 1.74 g/t Au from 225.0m 2.0m @ 1.03 g/t Au from 266.0m 3.0m @ 2.21 g/t Au from 319.0m
A number of zones of gold mineralisation (16.7m in total) associated with sulphides and quartz veining were encountered, considered to be strong indicators of a sizeable gold system with further drilling warranted.
As part of the Company’s regional target identification approach an aircore drilling program was conducted at the Dirks prospect located about 2km to the east of Dam Central (Figures 7 & 8). This area was considered prospective as previous drilling had identified a high grade intercept

ROX RESOURCES LIMITED QUARTERLY REPORT For Quarter Ended 30 September 2014
==> picture [103 x 51] intentionally omitted <==
of 2m @ 13 g/t Au. The aircore drilling on the Dirks trend (Figure 8) returned a number of anomalous and potentially economically significant gold intercepts, with best results of:
2m @ 4.8 g/t Au from 33m in hole MFAC055
2m @ 3.8 g/t Au from 90m in hole MFAC062
1m @ 1.77 g/t Au from 62m in hole MFAC058
These results add to the prospect that the Dirks area may host a near surface gold deposit similar to Damsel, located to the north-west (Figures 2 & 3), which has a total gold resource of 726,000 tonnes grading 2.4 g/t Au for approximately 56,000 ounces of contained gold (Measured: 26,600t @ 2.91 g/t Au, Indicated: 143,300t @ 2.47 g/t Au, Inferred: 556,100 @ 2.34 g/t Au, ASX:RXL 10 February 2012).

Figure 6: Dam Central Oblique Long Section showing Diamond Drill Hole Results. Leapfrog is a predictive modelling software that can be used to suggest trends in data. In this case Leapfrog was used to model the previous RAB and aircore drilling data to suggest areas where gold might be enriched at 0.3 g/tAu, 0.5 g/tAu and 1.0 g/tAu levels. The Leapfrog “shells” suggested a possible structurally controlled mineralised structure plunging to the north-west, which was tested by the diamond drill hole.

ROX RESOURCES LIMITED QUARTERLY REPORT For Quarter Ended 30 September 2014
BONYA COPPER PROJECT, NT (Rox earning up to 70%)
==> picture [103 x 51] intentionally omitted <==
Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling undertaken at the Bonya copper project, located 350km east of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory, produced some exceptional assay results from an initial drilling program (ASX:RXL 20 October 2014).
A massive copper sulphide mineralised body was intersected in three drill holes at the Bonya Mine prospect (Figure 9) from near surface to approximately 100m depth (Figures 10 & 11). Full results received so far are listed in Table 5. The assay results included:
BYRC008: 11m @ 4.4% Cu from 30m, including 3m @ 6.1% Cu from 33m BYRC009: 38m* @ 4.4% Cu from 60m, including 6m @ 8.8% Cu from 60m, and 8m @ 7.9% Cu from 82m * ended in mineralisation with last sample returning 6.8% Cu
BYRC012: 9m @ 3.8% Cu from 97m, including 3m @ 8.2% Cu from 97m
These initial drilling results have established that massive copper sulphide mineralisation is present at Bonya over substantial widths and over a vertical interval of at least 100m. The high grades, including several 1m samples grading above 10% Cu are also very encouraging. Assays for silver (Ag) and gold (Au) were generally in the 1 - 2 g/t range for Ag, and 0.2 - 0.4 g/t range for Au, over the mineralised intervals.
A follow-up RC drilling program is planned to commence in the fourth quarter.

REWARD ZINC-LEAD PROJECT, NT (Rox 49%, Teck 51% with option to increase to 70%)
Assay results from the first hole of a 4,000m drilling program at the Teena prospect (Figure 12) confirm an extension to the drilled strike length of known mineralisation to over 1.5 kilometres (ASX:RXL 27 October 2014). The drill intercept is located approximately 400m west of previous hole TNDD012 intercept (Figure 13). Highlights were as follows (see Table 6 for details):
3.0m @ 10.1% Zn+Pb from 670.0 – 673.0m, and 7.7m @ 9.9% Zn+Pb from 678.0 – 685.7m,
within a wider intersection of 35.0m @ 6.1% Zn+Pb from 665.0 – 700.0m.
Results from further drilling are expected over the next few weeks.

Correct projected average lateral positions of down hole intercepts are shown on the Figures.
-
Hole dip and azimuth determined at collar by compass and clinometer.
-
Diamond drilling by NQ diamond core, with core cut in half and sampled to either logged significant geological boundaries or even 1 metre intervals. Core recovery generally exceeded 98%.
-
Duplicate core samples were quarter cut.
-
Cut core samples were crushed to nominal 2mm size, then a 3kg split pulverised to nominal 85% passing 75um.
-
Samples sent to Bureau Veritas, Mount Isa, with assay by oxidative fusion with XRF analysis (XF001). This method is considered to completely extract Pb and Zn and is a ISO17025 certified method.
-
3 Certified Reference Materials that range from low grade to high grade Zn (30%) were included in the dispatch at a rate of at least 1 sample in 20, with a higher frequency in mineralized intervals. Field duplicates were included in the dispatch and were sent to the laboratory blind. Blanks were included in the dispatch at a rate of 1 in 40 samples.
-
All quality control data has been assessed to be within an acceptable level of accuracy and precision.
-
Independent assay verification has not yet been completed.
-
Weighted average grade by sample interval quoted using a cut-off grade of 2.5% Zn+Pb over a minimum width of 2m, with up to 2m of internal dilution allowed. Internal higher grade zones are selected at a 5% Zn+Pb cut-off grade or higher.
-
Reported intercepts may exceed the true width; no sampling bias is believed to have been introduced however. Based on structural measurements and downhole surveys, for hole TNDD009 true thickness is believed to be about 60% of downhole thickness, for holes TNDD010 - TNDD013 true thickness is about 80% of downhole thickness.

About Rox Resources
Rox Resources Limited is an emerging Australian minerals exploration company. The company has four key assets at various levels of development with exposure to gold, nickel, zinc, lead, copper and phosphate, including the Mt Fisher Gold Project (WA), Myrtle/Reward Zinc-Lead Project (NT), the Bonya Copper Project (NT) and the Marqua Phosphate Project (NT).
Mt Fisher Gold-Nickel Project (100% + Option to Purchase $2.5 million to pay)
The Mt Fisher gold project is located in the highly prospective North Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia and in addition to being well endowed with gold the project hosts strong nickel potential. The total project area is 655km[2] , consisting of a 485km[2] area 100% owned by Rox and an Option to purchase 100% of a further 170km[2] .
Recent drilling at the Camelwood and Musket nickel prospects has defined a JORC 2012 Mineral Resource (ASX:RXL 3 October 2013 and 4 September 2014) of 3.6Mt grading 2.0% nickel reported at 1.0% Ni cut-off (Indicated Mineral Resource: 1.8Mt grading 2.2% Ni, Inferred Mineral Resource: 1.9Mt grading 1.8% Ni) comprising massive and disseminated nickel sulphide mineralisation, and containing 72,100 tonnes of nickel. Higher grade mineralisation is present in both deposits (refer to ASX announcements above), and is still open at depth beneath each deposit. The nickel Mineral Resource occurs partly on tenements under Option to Purchase to Rox, with an exercise price payable as follows: $0.2 million by 31 December 2014, and $2.3 million by 30 June 2015.
Drilling by Rox has also defined numerous high-grade gold targets and a JORC 2004 Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource (ASX:RXL 10 February 2012) of 973,000 tonnes grading 2.75 g/t gold reported at a 0.8 g/tAu cut-off exists for 86,000 ounces of gold (Measured: 171,900 tonnes grading 4.11 g/t Au, Indicated: 204,900 tonnes grading 2.82 g/t Au, Inferred: 596,200 tonnes grading 2.34 g/t Au) aggregated over the Damsel, Moray Reef and Mt Fisher deposits.
Reward Zinc-Lead Project (49% + Farm-out Agreement)
Rox has signed an Earn-In and Joint Venture Agreement with Teck Australia Pty Ltd. (“Teck”) to explore its highly prospective 670km[2] Myrtle/Reward zinc-lead tenements, located 700km south-east of Darwin, Northern Territory, adjacent to the McArthur River zinc-lead mine.
The Myrtle zinc-lead deposit has a current JORC 2004 Mineral Resource (ASX:RXL 15 March 2010) of 43.6 Mt @ 5.04% Zn+Pb reported at a 3.0% Zn+Pb cut-off (Indicated: 5.8 Mt @ 3.56% Zn, 0.90% Pb; Inferred: 37.8 Mt @ 4.17% Zn, 0.95% Pb).
Recent drilling at the Teena zinc-lead prospect intersected 26.4m @ 13.3% Zn+Pb including 16.2m @ 17.2% Zn+Pb, and 20.1m @ 15.0% Zn+Pb including 12.5m @19.5% Zn+Pb , and together with historic drilling has defined significant high grade zinc-lead mineralisation over a strike length of at least 1.5km (ASX:RXL 5 August 2013, 26 August 2013, 18 September 2013, 11 October 2013).
Under the terms of the Agreement, Teck has now met the expenditure requirement for a 51% interest, with Rox holding the remaining 49%. Teck has elected to increase its interest in the project to 70% by spending an additional A$10m (A$15m in total) by 31 August 2018 (ASX:RXL 21 August 2013).
Bonya Copper Project (Farm-in Agreement to earn up to 70%)
In October 2012 Rox signed a Farm-in Agreement with Arafura Resources Limited (ASX:ARU) to explore the Bonya Copper Project located 350km east of Alice Springs, Northern Territory. Outcrops of visible copper grading up to 34% Cu and 27 g/t Ag are present, with the style of mineralisation similar to the adjacent Jervois copper deposits (see ASX:KGL). EM surveys defined a number of anomalies that could represent sulphide mineralisation at depth (ASX:RXL 5 August 2014). Drill testing has intersected visible copper mineralisation at three prospects, with massive copper sulphides intersected at the Bonya Mine prospect, including 38m @ 4.4% Cu and 11m @ 4.4% Cu (ASX:RXL 20 October 2014).
Under the Farm-in Agreement Rox can earn a 51% interest in the copper, lead, zinc, silver, gold, bismuth and PGE mineral rights at Bonya by spending $500,000 by December 2014. Rox can then elect to earn a further 19% (for 70% in total) by spending a further $1 million by December 2016. Once Rox has earned either a 51% or 70% interest it can form a joint venture with Arafura to further explore and develop the area.
