-
The 16,000m RC and 7,000m DD drill program will be ongoing from January to April 2023 with first drill assay results expected in late February
-
Resource drilling is focused on converting the inferred resources to indicated classification at the high priority areas Link and Kathleen which is integral to the Youanmi Gold Project and will form the early production for the purposes of the upcoming feasibility studies
-
Exploration drilling will initially focus on the exciting, high-grade ‘Midway’ discovery made by the OYG JV in 2021
-
The ‘Youanmi South’ prospect will also be tested and has previously shown broad high-grade gold
intersections

- Newly defined exploration corridor that is located within 300m of the hanging-wall of
the Youanmi Main Lode
- Open in all directions, with only 4 holes drilled to date all intersecting +20gm to
+100gm intercepts in a multi-lode system

1. C1 cash cost includes mining, processing, administration, concentrate charges and accounting adjustments for stockpile movements, and is calculated based on payable metal.
2. All-In Sustaining Cost (AISC) per ounce payable includes C1 cash cost, royalties and sustaining capital calculated based on payable metal. It does not include corporate cost, exploration cost and non-sustaining capital.
3. Financial results are unleveraged and pre-tax numbers calculated based on a 100% basis and in Australian dollars unless stated otherwise. Rox owns 70% of the OYG joint venture. 4. Payback period is calculated from the first month of the gold production target.
5. Capital intensity is calculated by dividing pre-production capital by annual payable metal.

High Quality Low Arsenic Gold Concentrate
==> picture [141 x 83] intentionally omitted <==
From Rox’s recent testwork and historic performance, simplified metallurgy is as follows:
-
Historical production shows consistent concentrate production of >40g/t gold in concentrate with ~2% As[1]
-
Recent test-work confirms conventional floatation produces a high-grade, low arsenic gold concentrate
-
With only partial Sulphur Oxidation of the concentrate (33%) gold leach extraction is 90-95%

Changes to Chinese regulations have created an increased demand for low Arsenic gold concentrates (<6% As). Youanmi gold concentrate will attract a premium due to the low As content and high gold content.

Project Potential – Resource Stope Optimisation
