  • Rox shareholders strongly endorse the issue of shares to Venus Metals to complete Rox’s acquisition of a 100% interest in the Youanmi Gold Project.

West Australian-focused gold exploration and development company (“ Rox ” or “ the Company ”) (ASX: RXL ), is pleased to advise that it continued to make substantial progress with the exploration and development of its flagship 3.2Moz Youanmi Gold Project, located near Mt Magnet in Western Australia during the June Quarter.

==> picture [79 x 74] intentionally omitted <==

A major resource definition and near-mine exploration program continued throughout the reporting period, delivering outstanding results that indicate strong potential to continue expanding the existing Resource and further upgrading the emerging Youanmi South discovery, which has now been renamed Paddy’s Lode.

In addition, Rox shareholders approved the acquisition of a 100% interest in the Youanmi Project late in the reporting period, providing the Company with a simplified, single ownership structure and a strong platform to progress the project development.

Managing Director Mr Robert Ryan commented:

“The June Quarter has delivered a series of outstanding exploration results at Youanmi, including high-grade assays from the high-priority Link area – which are expected to help upgrade Inferred areas of the Resource to Indicated status – as well as confirming the new near-mine discovery at Paddy’s Lode, previously referred to as Youanmi South.

“In-fill results from the Link area have been very encouraging, delivering widths and grades consistent with our geological model. In addition, deeper drilling has highlighted outstanding potential to extend the deposit at depth, with grades of up to 18.52g/t Au returned from 450m down-hole.

“Meanwhile, follow-up diamond drilling at the emerging Paddy’s Lode discovery, located immediately south of the Youanmi Main Pit, intersected the mineralised shear structure up to approximately 200m south of the bonanza discovery intercept of 28m @ 34.81g/t from RXRC458 reported earlier this year.

“Paddy’s lode presents a new exploration target area for Rox at Youanmi and provides proof-of-concept that significant mineralisation continues south of the historical mining area. Given the transported cover geophysical surveys are underway to aid in targeting the mineralised trends to the south.

“On the corporate front, Rox shareholders voted to approve the issue of shares to Venus Metals to complete our acquisition of a 100% interest in the Youanmi Project, providing us with a simplified ownership structure for the project and an enhanced access to capital.”

Youanmi Gold Project

Resource drilling program

During the Quarter, Rox reported further significant assay results from the ongoing 28,507m (increased from 23,000m) Resource definition and near-mine exploration drilling program at the Youanmi Gold Project. Resource definition drilling, which is focused on the high-priority Link and Kathleen areas of the project, is designed to convert Inferred Resources to the higher confidence Indicated Resource classification.

The Resource definition (in-fill) drilling program was completed at the high-priority Link and Kathleen areas during the June Quarter, with some assay results still outstanding at the end of the reporting period.

Approximately 12,000m of Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling and 7,000m of diamond drilling was undertaken for the resource definition component of the drilling program, focused on converting Inferred Resources to Indicated Resources classification.

The Resource drilling is designed to delineate adequate reserves to accommodate the first years of the production target as part of upcoming feasibility studies, as well as to confirm the continuity of gold grades proximal to the current Indicated Resources. This is expected to be achieved by upgrading part of the existing Inferred Resource in the Youanmi Gold Project Scoping Study (ASX announcement 19 October 2022).

Near-Mine Exploration

In addition to the Resource definition drilling, approximately 9,500m of near-mine exploration drilling is also underway, primarily focused on the new Paddy’s Lode discovery (previously named Youanmi South).

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 o 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 were still pending for the remainder of the drill-hole as at 30 June 2023. 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.

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.

This newly discovered mineralised lode is a demonstration that high grade gold mineralisation continues under cover south of the historic Youanmi mining area. Also of significance is a greater understanding of the role of post-mineral faults that offset the main corridor of mineralisation. 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.

Full details of the assay results reported from Paddy’s Lode during the June Quarter were provided in the Company’s ASX Announcement dated 16 May 2023.

Mt Fisher - Mt Eureka Project

Background

The Mt Fisher - Mt Eureka Project (“ the Project ”) is in the Northern Goldfields, approximately 500km northeast of Kalgoorlie (about 120km east of Wiluna) within the Mt Fisher greenstone belt. This belt is located 40km east of the prolific Yandal greenstone belt, host of significant gold deposits including Jundee, Bronzewing and Mt McClure and is situated immediately along strike of Cannon Resources Limited’s (“ Cannon ”) nickel deposits (134kt of contained nickel at 1.8% Ni) with the host ultramafic unit extending into the Project’s tenure.

The Project is held by Rox 100% for certain tenure with the remaining tenure held by Rox and Cullen Resources Limited (“ Cullen ”) (ASX: CUL) in a joint venture, with Rox earning into 75% (currently 51%).

Rox’s tenure covers a majority position over the Mt Fisher greenstone belt (1,150km² in total, comprising 500km² within Mt Fisher, and 650km² within the Cullen Resources JV).

Mt Fisher – Mt Eureka Gold

The Mt Fisher - Mt Eureka gold resource comprises five separate gold deposits: Damsel, Mt Fisher Mine and Wagtail for 124koz on Rox 100% tenements, and Taipan and Southern for 63koz on Mt Eureka joint venture tenements. The total Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource for the Mt Fisher - Mt Eureka Gold Project now stands at 3.5Mt @ 1.65g/t Au for 187koz of contained gold (ASX: 2 November 2022).

Mt Eureka Nickel

Rox owns 51% of the Mt Eureka Nickel Project and is earning into 75%, with Cullen owning the remaining interest.

The Fisher East Greenstone Belt has a strike length of ~50km, of which ~30km of strike is in the Mt Eureka Nickel Project. This major NNW trending structure (Hootanui Shear) is potentially a major mantle-tapping structure. Such features provide optimum conduits for magma flux from mantle and are linked to the occurrence of nickel-sulphide deposits.

New regional scale high resolution aeromagnetic data and associated nickel sulphide pathfinder geochemistry in regolith (platinum and palladium) has defined the extension of the fertile Fisher East ultramafic basal contact position from Cannon’s tenure onto the Mt Eureka Nickel Project tenure.

Numerous ultramafic flows with associated Ni-Cu-PGE anomalism occur throughout the belt which demonstrates further potential for the project area to host economically viable nickel deposits.

Does the entity expect that it will continue to have the current level of net operating
cash flows for the time being and, if not, why not?
Answer: No, the current drilling programme was completed in the June 2023 quarter with
a targeted geophysical survey (IP) currently in progress along with an internal
analysis of the recently completed drill programme. Accordingly, cash outflows
are currently significantly reduced.
8.8.2 Has the entity taken any steps, or does it propose to take any steps, to raise further
cash to fund its operations and, if so, what are those steps and how likely does it
believe that they will be successful?
Answer: The Company is in the process of planning future exploration activities and costs
associated with further feasibility studies at Youanmi. Once this has been finalised
the Company will assess any potential capital raising, including timing and amount.
