Dear Shareholder
Offer to participate in Rox’s Share Purchase Plan
The Directors of Rox Resources Limited (“ Rox ” or “ Company ”) are pleased to extend an invitation to eligible shareholders to participate in the Company's Share Purchase Plan (“ Plan” ). The Plan allows eligible shareholders to purchase up to $15,000 worth of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (“ Shares ”) without any brokerage or transaction costs. The Plan was announced by the Company to the Australian Securities Exchange (“ ASX ”) on 31 October 2012 (“ Announcement Date ”).
The Shares under the Plan will be issued at 1.5 cents per Share, representing a 12% discount to the closing price of the Company's Shares on the ASX on 30 October 2012 and a 17% discount to the volume weighted average price for the 5 trading days prior to 31 October 2012. The offer of Shares under the Plan is open to all Eligible Shareholders (as defined in the attached Offer) as at 7:00pm (AEDT) on 30 October 2012 (“ Record Date ”).
This is an opportunity for eligible shareholders to take advantage of prevailing market conditions and to participate in the future growth of the Company. Funds raised through the Plan will be used to:
-
(a) assist with the funding of the next stage of the Company’s exploration at the Mt Fisher gold & nickel project;
-
(b) initiate exploration at the newly acquired Bonya copper project: and
-
(c) for general working capital expenses.
Further details on the Plan are set out below.
The Plan allows Eligible Shareholders, irrespective of the size of their shareholding, to apply for one of the following parcels of Shares:
| Offer | Value | Number of Shares |
|---|---|---|
| A | $1,000 | 66,667 |
| B | $2,500 | 166,667 |
| C | $5,000 | 333,333 |

Alternatively you may use the BPAY[® ] facility described later in this documentation. Applications will be processed on a first-come-first served basis.
Rox is currently exploring three highly prospective projects.
Mt Fisher
Mt Fisher is a highly prospective area of 655 km[2] , well endowed with gold , and with strong potential for nickel , only 40km to the east of the prolific Yandal greenstone belt and 100km east of the main Wiluna greenstone belt.
Since acquiring the project 12 months ago Rox has defined a JORC compliant Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 973,000 tonnes grading 2.75 g/t gold for 86,000 ounces of gold.
Three parallel structures at the Dam-Dirks prospect define a 7km long gold-in-regolith anomaly which is largely untested at depth, and which already hosts the 54,000 ounce Damsel gold deposit. There are numerous high grade drill results over the project area including 1m @ 187 g/t Au and 3m @ 67 g/t Au at the Moray Reef prospect where a high grade resource of 8,000 ounces grading 7.5 g/t Au has been defined.
In addition Rotary Air Blast (RAB) drilling has been completed at the Fisher East nickel prospect which is following up and further defining targets from recent RAB/ Air Core (AC) drilling that intersected anomalous nickel geochemistry in an ultramafic unit, with hole 15 of that program intersecting 12 metres grading 0.12% Ni from 32 metres downhole. Importantly, the nickel geochemistry lies directly over a strong VTEM anomaly Rox identified in 2011. A second strong VTEM anomaly of similar size is present 4km to the north and has also been tested by the RAB drilling. Results of this drilling are pending.
Bonya Joint Venture
Rox recently announced that it had entered into a Farm-in Agreement to explore the Bonya Copper Project where it may earn a 70% interest in this large and highly prospective project.
Bonya is located adjacent to the Jervois copper deposit (JORC Mineral Resource of 11.9 Mt @ 1.3% Cu, 25 g/tAg), 350km east of Alice Springs, Northern Territory, and visible outcropping copper mineralisation, which returned assay results of up to 30.7% copper (Cu), 34 g/t silver (Ag) and 0.52 g/t gold, has identified walk up drill targets at the old Bonya Mine prospect.
Assessment of historic mining activities at the old Bonya Copper mine indicates the potential for depth extensions to the outcropping mineralisation, which has never been previously drill tested. Both the Bonya and Jervois copper projects are in an interpreted high metamorphic grade Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) geological setting, similar to other areas such as Mount Hardy in the Northern Territory, and of a similar deposit type to those found in the Doolgunna district in Western Australia, which hosts Sandfire’s DeGrussa deposit.
Bonya is a priority target for the Company.

Reward Joint Venture
Rox has signed an earn-in and joint venture agreement with Teck Australia Pty Ltd. (“Teck”) for Teck to explore its Myrtle/Reward zinc-lead project tenements which cover 669 km[2] adjacent to the world-class McArthur River zinc-lead deposit in the Northern Territory. The terms of the earn-in require Teck to spend $5 million by 31 August 2014 to earn an initial 51% interest, and Teck can increase its interest in the project to 70% by spending an additional $10 million ($15 million in total) over an additional 4 years.
A SEDEX style deposit has been identified by Rox at the Myrtle prospect, where a JORC compliant Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 43.6 million tonnes grading 4.09% zinc and 0.95% lead has been delineated (Indicated: 5.8 million tonnes grading 3.56% Zn and 0.90% Pb, Inferred: 37.8 million tonnes grading 4.17% Zn and 0.95% Pb). A higher grade core of 15.3 million tonnes grading 5.45% zinc and 1.40% lead (Indicated: 1.2 million tonnes grading 5.38% Zn and 1.42% Pb, Inferred: 14.1 million tonnes grading 5.45% Zn and 1.39% Pb) is present, and a large mineralised system is indicated.
In addition to the Myrtle deposit re-sampling of historic drill core from the newly identified Teena zinc prospect located 10km due west of the McArthur River Zinc Mine has returned very promising results. These results included:
-
11.3 metres grading 10.9% Zn + Pb, 14 g/t Ag from 908.8 metres in hole Teena 4
-
8.6 metres grading 9.84% Zn + Pb, 23 g/t Ag from 789.6 metres in hole Teena 4A
-
3.8 metres grading 7.98% Zn + Pb, 4 g/t Ag from 629.2 metres in hole Teena 2
-
13.1 metres grading 6.02% Zn + Pb, 5 g/t Ag from 599.2 metres in hole Teena 6
The drill data indicate the potential for a large zone of high grade zinc-lead mineralisation over an area of at least 1.0 x 1.5 km and cumulative thickness of between 5 and 40 metres.
The next period looks to be an exciting time for Rox and I look forward to your continued support and sharing a successful year with you.
Yours sincerely
