INTRODUCTION

The second quarter of 2014 has seen significant exploration success for Rox Resources Limited ("Rox" or "the Company"), at the Mt Fisher project in Western Australia (Figure 1) where a coherent body of high grade nickel sulphide mineralisation has been identified at the Musket prospect by RC and diamond drilling. The Musket deposit is still open at depth and along strike. In addition, encouraging exploration results have been received at the Cannonball prospect, with more drilling warranted.

Teck Australia Pty Ltd ("Teck") is planning an exploration program at the Reward project (Rox 49%, Teck 51%) in the Northern Territory where approximately 4,000 metres of diamond drilling is scheduled to commence in late August 2014, mainly at the Teena prospect where previous diamond drilling in 2013 returned significant intersections of sulphide mineralization over a strike length of 1.3km, including 20m @ 15% Zn+Pb from 944m.

An RC drilling program is also planned at the Bonya copper project to follow up VTEM anomalies that could represent deposits of copper sulphide mineralisation.

During the quarter the company relinquished the Marqua phosphate project following unsuccessful attempts at finding a joint venture partner or an outright purchaser.

MT FISHER GOLD-NICKEL PROJECT, WA (Rox 100% & option to purchase 100%)

Rox continued exploration at its Mt Fisher project area 500km north of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia, (Figure 1) which hosts the Camelwood and Musket nickel sulphide deposit and the Mt Fisher, Moray Reef and Damsel gold deposits. Work focussed on diamond and RC drilling at the Musket and Cannonball prospects, plus a RAB/aircore exploration program.

Musket and Cannonball Nickel Sulphide Deposits

Significant widths and grades of nickel sulphide mineralisation continued to be intersected by drilling at Musket and Cannonball (Figure 2) as listed below (and released as ASX:RXL 6 May 2014, 27 May 2014, 9 July 2014, 17 July 2014 and 30 July 2014). Full results are listed in Table 1 and intercepts are shown on Figures 3 - 5.

Musket

A total of 14 diamond drill holes were completed at Musket. A coherent body of massive and disseminated nickel sulphides has been defined to a depth of about 400m below surface (Figure 4), that is still open at depth and along strike at that depth.

The massive sulphide zone is very high grade (up to 20% Ni), regularly reporting grades >13% Ni, while the disseminated sulphide zone varies in grade between 1.5 and 4.0% Ni.

Drilling highlights were:

16.2m @ 2.8% Ni from 305.1m downhole in hole MFED043,

including 0.8m @ 19.0% Ni from 305.1m.

15.9m @ 2.1% Ni from 248.0m downhole in hole MFED044,

including 10.2m @ 2.6% Ni from 252.2m.

16.9m @ 2.0% Ni from 352.1m downhole in hole MFED049,

including 6.6m @ 2.6% Ni from 358.0m.

2.8m @ 4.5% Ni from 298.5m downhole in hole MFED054,

including 0.7m @ 14.6% Ni from 298.8m.

RC drilling during July was undertaken to test the near-surface mineralisation at Musket to complete the drilling pattern required for resource estimation. Some very high grades and increased thicknesses were encountered, including:

3m @ 5.9% Ni from 189m downhole in hole MFEC066,

including 1m @ 14.8% Ni from 190m.

17m @ 2.1% Ni from 161m downhole in MFEC067,

including 1m @ 8.9% Ni from 161m.

4m @ 8.4% Ni from 178m downhole in hole MFEC071,

including 2m @ 14.7% Ni from 178m.

5m @ 8.4% Ni from 205m downhole in hole MFEC072,

including 3m @ 12.1% Ni from 206m.

These grades are similar to those reported from the early stages of exploration of the Cosmos deposit, which ultimately paid for the early development capital for that mine.

Cannonball

One diamond hole and some additional RC holes were drilled at Cannonball (ASX:RXL 9 July 2014 and 30 July 2014). The diamond drill hole tested to about 300m depth (Figure 5) and returned:

1.1m @ 4.1% Ni from 367.8m downhole in hole MFED051.

Subsequent to this some additional RC holes (Table 1) were drilled at Cannonball (MFEC068, 069, 079 and 080). Some of these holes intersected visual nickel sulphide mineralisation and assays are pending.

The Cannonball deposit remains very prospective, with only a limited amount of drilling being completed, mostly near surface (Figure 3).

Regional Exploration

Two RC holes were drilled at each of the Corktree and Red Mulga prospects. Visual inspection of the samples from Red Mulga indicate the presence of low level nickel sulphides, while the samples from Corktree do not appear to contain any nickel sulphides. Assay results are pending.

A RAB/aircore drilling program was undertaken to test the prospective ultramafic units south of Musket from Corktree to Red Mulga (Figure 2). Results are pending and will be reported as available.

Camelwood Metallurgical Testwork

Following the strong result from the primary massive sulphide sample from Camelwood (91 - 95% recovery of nickel with a concentrate grade of 14 - 17% Ni, with low MgO (2.6% - 2.8% MgO), and a high Fe/Mg ratio (15 - 16), ideal for typical nickel smelters), testwork continued on the primary disseminated sample to increase nickel recovery and reduce the amount of pyrite (and thus increase the nickel grade) in the primary disseminated sulphide concentrate. This work is ongoing, but is showing positive signs.

Resource Potential

The potential for extensions to the defined resources at Camelwood and Musket is very high, with both of these deposits still open at depth and along strike at various depths, and in addition, further drilling at Cannonball is expected to continue to define additional nickel sulphide mineralisation (Figure 6).

A resource estimation is currently underway for the Musket deposit and should be available during the next quarter.

The nickel sulphide system so far defined at Fisher East is up to 3km long in strike length (Figure 6), but has only been explored to a maximum depth of 500m in just one location (Camelwood). Typically these nickel sulphide systems contain multiple shoots that extend to considerable depths (viz. > 1km, e.g. Kambalda, Forrestania, Cosmos, Leinster etc.). There is scope to increase nickel resources beneath both Camelwood and Musket, at Cannonball and also along strike at other targets still being tested by RAB/aircore drilling.

Option

During the quarter the first significant option payment of $1.2 million was paid to the vendor to acquire the Fisher East tenements. Further payments of $200,000 by 31 December 2014 and $2.3 million by 30 June 2015 are due.

Next Quarter's Activities

  • Assessment of RAB/aircore results.
  • Continued metallurgical testwork on samples from Musket and Camelwood.
  • Resource estimation for the Musket deposit.

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 $3.6 million)

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 655km2 , consisting of a 485km2 area 100% owned by Rox and an Option to purchase 100% of a further 170km2 .

Recent drilling at the Camelwood nickel prospect has defined a JORC 2012 Mineral Resource (ASX:RXL 3 October 2013) of 1.6Mt grading 2.2% nickel reported at 1.0% Ni cut-off (Indicated Mineral Resource: 0.6Mt grading 2.4% Ni, Inferred Mineral Resource: 1.0Mt grading 2.1% Ni) comprising massive and disseminated nickel sulphide mineralisation, and containing 34,600 tonnes of nickel. A higher grade core of 520,000 tonnes grading 3.1% nickel reported at a 2.5% Ni cut-off (Indicated Mineral Resource: 240,000 tonnes grading 3.2% Ni, Inferred Mineral Resource: 280,000 tonnes grading 3.0% Ni) is present. The mineralisation is still open in all directions. The nickel Mineral Resource occurs partly on tenements under Option to Purchase to Rox, with an exercise price payable as follows: $1.1 million by 30 June 2014, $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 670km2 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.

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 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. Under the 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 within the first two years. Rox can then elect to earn a further 19% (for 70% in total) by spending a further $1 million over a further two years. 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.
