Cautionary Statement – Scoping Study Parameters
The updated Scoping Study released to the ASX on the 10[th] of October 2018 is based on low-level technical and economic assessments, and is insufficient to support estimation of Ore Reserves or to provide assurance of an economic development case at this stage, or to provide certainty that the conclusions of the updated Scoping Study will be realised.
The updated Scoping Study and the production targets derived from the updated Scoping Study are preliminary in nature as the conclusions are drawn on Inferred Mineral Resources (12%) and Indicated Mineral Resources (88%).
The Indicated Mineral Resources and Inferred Mineral Resources underpinning the conclusions from the updated Scoping Study, including the production targets, have been prepared by a competent person in accordance with the requirements of JORC Code 2012 Edition. This announcement does not include an estimate of Ore Reserves as the supporting modifying factors have not been determined to a sufficient level of confidence.
Some (12%) of the Mineral Resources used in the study are Inferred Mineral Resources. When subset to the Resources in the Mining Plan there are only 4.2% Inferred Resources. There is a lower level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Mineral Resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of Indicated Mineral Resources or that the predictions of expected costs or production rates contained herein, and the production targets themselves, will be realised.
Unless otherwise stated all financial figures are in Australian dollars, are undiscounted and are not subject to inflation or escalation factors. All years are calendar years.
At this stage no toll milling agreement has been negotiated and there is no certainty that an acceptable toll milling agreement can be negotiated.
The forward nickel price and exchange rate assumptions in this report are based on a careful consideration of market forecasts and consensus by a number of third parties. There is no guarantee that this nickel price or exchange rate will be realised.
The Company has concluded that there is a reasonable basis for providing the forward-looking statements included in this report and detailed reasons for that conclusion are contained herein. The Company cautions though that there is no certainty that the forecast financial information or production targets will be realised. Material assumptions underpinning the production target and forecast financial information derived from the production targets are set out in this announcement.
The Study referred to in this announcement is a technical and economic investigation of the viability of the Fisher East Project. It is based on low accuracy technical and economic assessments, (+/- 35% accuracy) and is insufficient to support estimation of Ore Reserves or to provide assurance of an economic development case at this stage, or to provide certainty that the conclusions of the Study will be realised. The Production Target referred to in this presentation is based on JORC Resources which are approximately 96% Indicated and 4% Inferred. The mine plan has been generated using stope optimisation and averaging of grades over multiple year periods prior to the application of mining dilution. To achieve the outcomes indicated in this study initial funding in the order of A$48 to A$87 million is likely to be required. Investors should note that there is no certainty that Rox will be able to raise funding when needed. It is also possible funding may only be available on terms that may be dilutive to or otherwise effect the value of Rox’s shares.

Gold remains a key focus of Rox Resources
Gold development projects can be scaled to suit capital availability Lower complexity in development
The company has a commanding position in two underexplored greenstone belts along strike from Dingo Range and Duketon belts
Mt Fisher Project comprises 573km2 of granted tenure Collurabbie Project comprises 167km[2] of granted tenure
Two of the most remote greenstone belts in Western Australia
A lack of known gold occurrences reflects remoteness and increasing cover not a lack of prospectivity

Large scale gold-in-regolith anomaly along complex Mt Fisher western shear zone (Damsel-Dam-Shiva) – 10km long.

JORC Mineral Resource of 89,000 oz*
@ 2.7 g/t Au
Majority of the known gold mineralisation (excluding extensions to historical Moray Reef and Mt Fisher) is found within regolith. Basement source of gold not yet found or adequately tested.
Amount of gold seen in the regolith suggests a significant basement source
Intersection of NNE and NS structures the most prospective Deeply weathered profile means aircore is of limited utility

Conceptual Model - Mt Fisher gold mineralisation
==> picture [10 x 10] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [10 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Mt Fisher gold mineralisation is typical of greenstonehosted Archean lode gold
Lithology, structure and weathering are primary controls on gold mineralisation

Quartz vein / extensional fracture / en-echelon shear
-
BIF Hosted
-
Small, shallow open pit mined at 4.3 g/t Au (c.22.4koz
-
Mt Fisher Au)

-
Relatively continuous mineralisation
-
Looking for dilational jogs, changes in orientation of major shear within mafic rocks

Archaean narrow vein quartz hosted gold reef system. The mineralisation is hosted in a narrow shear zone in relatively massive tholeiitic basalt
-
Quartz reef strikes north-south, with a sub-vertical to steep easterly dip
-
Two ore shoots have previously been interpreted to exist along the shear
zone
==> picture [8 x 8] intentionally omitted <==
- the main shoot having a strike length of approximately 150m
==> picture [8 x 8] intentionally omitted <==
- the southern shoot has a strike length of 20m
Geological continuity remains remarkably consistent along strike and down dip

the Wonganoo Anticline
- The sequence strikes north northeast and dips to the east between 40 and 90 degrees
The gold deposit is hosted within a well defined sulphidic chert and banded iron unit
The chert, and also the gold mineralisation, varies in thickness from a couple of metres to several metres thick and dips to the east at about 45 degrees Potential for a pit cutback

Previous work has identified the presence of considerable supergene gold enrichment along a number of separate parallel structures. However basement sources have not been identified with any certainty

==> picture [7 x 8] intentionally omitted <==
- 9 metres at 7.1 g/t Au from 76 metres
==> picture [7 x 7] intentionally omitted <==
- 3 metres at 17.4 g/t Au from 30 metres

Olympia: 1.0% Ni block cut-off grade. Values may not sum due to rounding.
Information provided as required by section 50 of the JORC Code 2012
*NiEq = (Ni grade x Ni price x Ni recovery + Cu grade x Cu price x Cu recovery) / (Ni price x Ni recovery) Where Ni price = US$13,000/t, Cu price = US$6,300/t (as of 10 October 2018) Ni recovery = 85%, Cu recovery = 85%
Metallurgical recoveries based on results from deposits with similar mineralogy, e.g. Savannah (83% recovery for both Ni and Cu), and Nova (88% recovery for both Ni and Cu). In general, the metallurgical recoveries of nickel and copper are similar, so the factors cancel each other out in the metal equivalent calculation. In addition, metallurgical recoveries at the Fisher East project average 88% for nickel. It is the Company’s reasonable opinion that all metals in the metal equivalent will be able to be recovered and sold, as they are at Savannah and Nova.
Fisher East: 1.0% Ni block cut-off grade. Values may not sum due to rounding.
