Nickel Price Projections*

  • Nickel is predicted to move the most of the base and precious metals over next 4 years
  • Predicted to be ~US$15,000/t (=US$6.80/lb) by 2021 (4 years)- that's >A$19,000/t (~A$8.80/lb)

* Hartleys Research 17 March 2017

Nickel Projects

  • Two nickel sulphide projects in WA's northern goldfields
  • Fisher East is a new nickel province discovered in 2013 by Rox
  • Collurabbie discovered in 2004 by WMC but relatively unexplored
  • Fisher East and Collurabbie are just 70km apart – project development synergies
  • Mineral Resource1 of ~50,000 tonnes Ni metal @ 2.5% Ni at Fisher East
  • Nickel sulphides contain cobalt ~0.1 – 0.2% Co

Development Studies

  • Low technical risk project:
    • o Toll milling truck ore to nearby plant (two plants within 200km)
    • o Build a plant on site truck concentrate for sale
  • Decline to underground mine ~100m depth to sulphides
  • Standard underground mining techniques and costs (A$130/t)
  • Metallurgical recoveries, 80 99%, and saleable concentrate grades, 10 - 14% Ni, acceptable Fe:MgO ratios, low As (no penalties)
  • Straight forward process flow sheet and logistics
  • Increased resources will increase mine life and project value

Fisher East Nickel

Four deposits discovered so far, Musket, Cannonball, Camelwood & Sabre

Total Mineral Resource* on three deposits of 2.0 Mt @ 2.5% Ni, for 50,000 tonnes Ni metal

* See Appendix for Mineral Resource details

Exploration Targets

Targeting massive nickel sulphides at Sabre, Camelwood and Musket

  • Fresh sulphides in aircore at Mt Tate
  • RC drilling underway at Cutlass, Sabre North, Tomahawk, Mt Tate, Horatio, and Claymore – results in 2-3 weeks
  • Diamond drilling at Sabre, Camelwood & Musket to start shortly
  • Looking to double total resource base

Attractive Gold Potential

$10M JV with Doray Minerals

  • o $1M minimum expenditure in Year 1 before withdrawal (30 June 2017)
  • o $4M over 2 years for 51%
  • o $5M over +2 years for 75%

  • Drill targets for Gold
  • Quality datasets of drilling and extensive geophysics
  • Underdone previous exploration
  • Cheap* counter-cyclical quality acquisition

Exploration Potential

High grade Olympia lens:

  • ❖ 5.8m @ 3.0% Ni, 2.0% Cu, 5.3 g/t PGE
  • ❖ 3.8m @ 2.2% Ni, 1.8% Cu, 3.5 g/t PGE
  • ❖ 1.9m @ 3.6% Ni, 2.8% Cu, 7.0 g/t PGE
  • Elevated Co values ~ 0.1 – 0.2%
  • Open at depth
  • Resource on Olympia out soon
  • Exploration potential over 15km of strike
  • Drilling planned

Spot the Opportunity

  • Rox seems under-valued based on the size and grade of our nickel resources
  • Cash is $15m + $3.75m in receivables

Court Action

On 15 November 2016 Rox Resources Limited (ASX: RXL) (Rox or the Company) advised that it had received correspondence from legal representatives acting on behalf of Marindi Metals Limited (ASX:MZN) (Marindi) in which Marindi has alleged that it considers the Company remains bound to complete the sale of its interest in the Reward Zinc Project to Marindi, notwithstanding the exercise by the Company's joint venture partner, Teck Australia Pty Ltd (Teck), of its pre-emptive right over the project.

The Company continues to maintain that Teck has validly exercised its pre-emptive right to acquire the Reward Zinc Project and will vigorously defend the legal action initiated by Marindi.
