FISHER EAST NICKEL PROJECT, WA (Rox 100% & option to purchase 100%)
Mineral Resource Update
An updated Mineral Resource of 4.2 Mt @ 1.9% Ni for 78,000 tonnes of contained nickel metal was released during the quarter (ASX:RXL 5 February 2016).
This represents an increase of 8% in contained nickel, on the previous mineral resource. The proportion of Indicated Resource increased to 91% allowing for most of the resource to be able to be classified as an ore reserve at the appropriate time.
Revised modelling parameters resulting from a better understanding of the geological and metallurgical aspects of the deposits allowed better definition of the Mineral Resource, with the massive and disseminated sulphide mineralised zones now clearly separated, defined and modelled.
The high grade massive and blebby sulphide portion of the resource is 0.5 Mt @ 4.6% Ni for 21,100 tonnes of contained nickel.
Added to the total Fisher East Mineral Resource was the Cannonball deposit with 0.26 Mt @ 2.8% Ni for 7,300 tonnes of contained nickel. The deposit is still open at depth, with un-tested downhole EM anomalies still to be drilled.
Due to re-modelling and separation of massive sulphides from disseminated sulphides, the Camelwood Mineral Resource was updated to 2.0 Mt @ 1.9% Ni for 39,000 tonnes of contained nickel.
Incorporation of recent drilling, and re-modelling and separation of massive sulphides from disseminated sulphides resulted in an updated Mineral Resource for Musket of 1.9 Mt @ 1.7% Ni for 31,600 tonnes of contained nickel.
Indicated resources now account for 91% of the total resource:
Indicated: 3.7 Mt @ 1.9% nickel (for 71,000 tonnes of contained nickel) Inferred: 0.5 Mt @ 1.5% nickel (for 7,000 tonnes of contained nickel)
Other sub-divisions of the Mineral Resource include:
Massive & Blebby Sulphides: 0.5 Mt @ 4.6% Ni for 21,100 t of contained nickel Higher grade disseminated sulphides: 3.0 Mt @ 1.6% Ni for 48,300 t of contained nickel Low grade disseminated sulphides: 0.7 Mt @ 1.2% Ni for 8,500 t of contained nickel

Mining Pre-Feasibility Study
The mining portion of the Pre-Feasibility Study for the Fisher East nickel sulphide project was completed. While providing a greater accuracy of estimates, the results were not materially different to the Scoping Study results:
-
The optimum extraction method is underground mining using a long-hole open stoping with cement aggregated fill. A possible variation could be the “Avoca” method, which is an un-aggregated fill. These methods achieve a 95% mining recovery.
-
The mining cost was estimated to be A$63.50/tonne, which together with the other associated operating costs (e.g. processing, transport etc.) gives an overall operating cost of approximately A$130/tonne, with is in line with the A$132/tonne estimate in the Scoping Study (ASX:RXL 17 February 2015).
-
Because of the development (and therefore cost) required to access the ore, a larger tonnage – lower grade mining approach (600,000 tpa) produces a better overall financial outcome than a high-grade mining approach.
-
An onsite mill (vs. offsite toll milling) is the most profitable processing option.
-
Additional ore tonnes create substantial additional value.
-
The project is highly sensitive to nickel price, exchange rate and operating costs.
-
There is scope to optimise the mining plan further.
-
No significant environmental issues identified from baseline studies.
-

ROX RESOURCES LIMITED QUARTERLY REPORT For Quarter Ended 31 March 2016
==> picture [103 x 51] intentionally omitted <==
The results indicate that in the right price environment the project can be very profitable. However, further pre-feasibility level work is on hold until a recovery of the nickel price to levels close to what could support the development of the project.
Next Quarter’s Activities
-
Aircore and RC drilling is being designed to follow up on excellent results achieved during the third quarter of 2015.
-
Evaluation of the results from the Pre-Feasibility Mining Study to determine further options for the project.
MT FISHER GOLD PROJECT, WA (Rox 100% & option to purchase 100%)

REWARD ZINC-LEAD PROJECT, NT (Rox 49%, Teck 51% with option exercised to increase to 70%)
During the quarter, project manager Teck Australia Pty Ltd (“Teck”) completed the Annual Report to the NT Mines Department, continued development of the Surprise Creek prospect as a new target for zinc-lead mineralisation, revised the 3D model for the Teena deposit, completed QA/QC and re-logging of Teena drilling from campaigns in 2013 and 2014.
Target Generation
Mapping at the Surprise Creek prospect (Figure 6) led to the interpretation of a possible cross-section which indicated that room might exist for the accumulation of zinc-lead mineralisation of sufficient volume to be of interest. Follow up work will include geophysics and geochemistry.
Seismic Interpretation
The processing and interpretation of a seismic section acquired during the 4[th] quarter of 2015 continued. Data verification was undertaken during the current quarter. Results are expected in Q2 2016.

Expenditure
During the quarter Teck’s unaudited expenditure was ~$169,000, bringing their total expenditure to ~$13.85 Million.
The Reward project is subject to an option/joint venture (JV) agreement between Rox (49%) and Teck Australia Pty Ltd (“Teck”) (51%), a subsidiary of Teck Resources Limited. Teck has elected to exercise the option to increase their JV interest to 70% by expending up to $15 million in total by 31 August 2018. Once Teck has reached 70%, Rox can either contribute at 30% or dilute using an industry standard formula.
Rox has announced that it is seeking to commercialise its interest in the project either by way of outright sale to a third party, or by a spin-off into a dedicated zinc company (ASX:RXL 3 November 2015). The Company is continuing to actively explore these options.
Next Quarter’s Activities

About Rox Resources
Rox Resources Limited is an emerging Australian minerals exploration company. The company has three key assets at various levels of development with exposure to gold, nickel, zinc, lead, and copper, including the Mt Fisher Gold Project (WA), Myrtle/Reward ZincLead Project (NT), and the Bonya Copper Project (NT).
Mt Fisher Gold-Nickel Project (100% + Option to Purchase)
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 675km[2] , consisting of a 600km[2] area 100% owned by Rox and an Option to purchase 100% of a further 75km[2] of nickel and gold prospective ground.
Discovery of, and drilling at the Camelwood, Cannonball and Musket nickel prospects has defined a JORC 2012 Mineral Resource (ASX:RXL 5 February 2016) of 4.2Mt grading 1.9% Ni reported at 1.0% Ni cut-off (Indicated Mineral Resource: 3.7Mt grading 1.9% Ni, Inferred Mineral Resource: 0.5Mt grading 1.5% Ni) comprising massive and disseminated nickel sulphide mineralisation, and containing 78,000 tonnes of nickel. Higher grade mineralisation is present in all deposits (refer to ASX announcement above), and is still open at depth beneath each deposit. Additional nickel sulphide deposits continue to be discovered (e.g. Sabre) and these will add to the resource base. Exploration is continuing to define further zones of potential nickel sulphide mineralisation.
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 Au 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 diluting to 30%)
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 zinclead mine.
The first deposit explored, Myrtle, has a current JORC 2004 zinc-lead 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).
Drilling at the Teena zinc-lead prospect includes intersections of 38.8m @ 16.9% Zn+Pb, 26.4m @ 13.3% Zn+Pb, and 20.1m @ 15.0% Zn+Pb , and together with historic drilling has defined significant new high grade zinc-lead mineralisation over a strike length of at least 1.9km (ASX:RXL 5 August 2013, 26 August 2013, 18 September 2013, 11 October 2013, 27 October 2014, 10 November 2014, 15 December 2014, 29 September 2015, 9 November 2015, 17 November 2015, 17 December 2015). Teena is the most significant new discovery of zinc in Australia since Century in 1990.
Under the terms of the Agreement, Teck has earned a 51% interest, with Rox holding the remaining 49%. Teck has elected to earn a further 19% (for 70% in total) by spending an additional A$10m by 31 August 2018 (ASX:RXL 21 August 2013).
Bonya Copper Project (51% + Farm-in Agreement to earn up to 70%)
Rox (51%) is exploring the Bonya Copper Project located 350km east of Alice Springs, Northern Territory, in joint venture with Arafura Resources Limited (49%) (ASX:ARU). 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). 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, 5 November 2014, 1 December 2014).
Under the Farm-in Agreement Rox has earned a 51% interest in the copper, lead, zinc, silver, gold, bismuth and PGE mineral rights at Bonya after spending $500,000 (ASX:RXL 16 December 2014). Rox has elected to earn a further 19% (for 70% in total) by spending a further $1 million by 10 December 2016.
