New Nickel Sulphide Mineralisation Discovered at Fisher East

Key Points

  • Massive and disseminated nickel sulphides intersected in RC drilling at the Mt Tate prospect
  • 2m @ 1.45% Ni from 94m, and 2m @ 1.42% Ni from 146m

Rox Resources Limited (ASX: RXL) ("Rox" or "the Company") is pleased to report encouraging results from the recently-completed RC drilling program at Fisher East (ASX:RXL 19 April 2017) (Figures 1 and 2).

The program generated the first ever intersection of massive and disseminated nickel sulphides at Mt Tate (Figure 3), and expands the prospectivity of the Fisher East Ultramafic Belt.

Rox Managing Director, Mr Ian Mulholland said: "This new discovery at Mt Tate supports our confidence that Fisher East is an extremely fertile Ultrmafic Belt. Mt Tate is now the fifth nickel sulphide mineralised zone we have identified after Camelwood, Musket, Cannonball and Sabre."

"In addition, the indications of nickel sulphides at Cutlass and Sabre North are also encouraging and worthy of follow-up."

"Our Mineral Resources at Fisher East are 2.04 Mt @ 2.5% Ni (at a 1.5% Ni cut-off) for 50,600 tonnes of contained nickel (ASX:RXL 5 February 2016), and we are confident of adding to these resources as we continue to test new targets and drill deeper holes at known deposits."

Details of the results are listed in Table 1, with highlights as follows:

Mt Tate

MFEC127: 1m @ 0.88% Ni from 121m, within semi-massive sulphides.

MFEC128: 2m @ 1.45% Ni from 94m, transitional disseminated nickel sulphide.

MFEC135: 4m @ 0.57% Ni from 141m, disseminated sulphides.
MFEC136: 2m @ 1.42% Ni from 146m, disseminated sulphides.
MFEC137: 1m @ 0.81% Ni from 196m, disseminated sulphides.
MFEC140: 1m @ 0.85% Ni from 125m, within massive sulphide.
Cutlass
MFEC132: 4m @ 0.43% Ni from 108m,
and
4m @ 0.35% Ni from 134m, two zones of low grade disseminated nickel
sulphides.

Sabre North

MFEC133: 5m @ 0.67% Ni from 115m, disseminated sulphides.

A 7m thick massive pyrite zone at Mt Tate sits approximately 20m stratigraphically above (downhole because sequence is over-turned) the nickel sulphide zone.

This massive pyrite zone was also intersected at Tomahawk. It is significant because it shows that a strong sulphide source is present, which is an essential ingredient to the formation of nickel sulphides.

The mineralisation at Mt Tate will be further investigated with downhole EM before deeper drilling is contemplated.

Diamond drilling is now underway at Fisher East to test downhole EM anomalies at Camelwood, Musket, and Sabre.

About Rox Resources

Rox Resources Limited is an emerging Australian minerals exploration company. The company has a number of key assets at various levels of development with exposure to gold, nickel, copper and platinum group elements (PGE's), including the Mt Fisher Gold Project (WA), the Fisher East Nickel Project (WA), the Collurabbie Nickel-Copper-PGE Project (WA), and the Bonya Copper Project (NT).

Mt Fisher Gold-Nickel Project (100% + Option to Purchase)

The Mt Fisher project is located in the highly prospective North Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia and in addition to being well endowed with gold, the project hosts several nickel sulphide deposits. The total project area is 675km2, consisting of a 600km2 area 100% owned by Rox and an Option to purchase 100% of a further 75km2 of nickel and gold prospective ground.

Discovery of, and drilling at the Camelwood, Cannonball and Musket nickel prospects has defined a JORC 2012 Mineral Resource (ASX:RXL 5 February 2016) of 4.2Mt grading 1.9% Ni reported at 1.0% Ni cut-off (Indicated Mineral Resource: 3.7Mt grading 1.9% Ni, Inferred Mineral Resource: 0.5Mt grading 1.5% Ni) comprising massive and disseminated nickel sulphide mineralisation, and containing 78,000 tonnes of nickel. Higher grade mineralisation is present in all deposits (refer to ASX announcement above), and is still open at depth beneath each deposit. Additional nickel sulphide deposits continue to be discovered (e.g. Sabre) and these will add to the resource base. Exploration is continuing to define further zones of potential nickel sulphide mineralisation.

Drilling by Rox has also defined numerous high-grade gold targets and a JORC 2004 Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource (ASX:RXL 10 February 2012) of 973,000 tonnes grading 2.75 g/t Au reported at a 0.8 g/tAu cut-off exists for 86,000 ounces of gold (Measured: 171,900 tonnes grading 4.11 g/t Au, Indicated: 204,900 tonnes grading 2.82 g/t Au, Inferred: 596,200 tonnes grading 2.34 g/t Au) aggregated over the Damsel, Moray Reef and Mt Fisher deposits.

A joint venture has been signed with Doray Minerals Limited ("Doray") to explore the Mt Fisher gold tenements (ASX:RXL 16 May 2016), with Doray required to spend \$1 million within the first year. Following that Doray can spend \$4 million over a further two years to earn a 51% interest, and increase its interest to 75% by expenditure of a further \$5 million over an additional two years.

Collurabbie Gold-Nickel Project (100%)

The Collurabbie project is located in the highly prospective North Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia and is prospective for gold and nickel. The project area of 123km2 hosts the Olympia nickel sulphide deposit and a number of other prospects for nickel sulphide mineralisation. Drilling results of 5.8m @ 3.00% Ni, 1.96% Cu, 5.3g/t PGE, have been returned from Olympia. The style of nickel sulphide mineralisation is different to that at Fisher East, with a significant copper and PGE component at Collurabbie, and has been compared to the Raglan nickel deposits in Canada (>1Mt contained nickel).

In addition there is potential for gold mineralisation, with several strong drilling intersections including 2m @ 5.2g/t Au from the Naxos prospect.

Bonya Copper Project (51% + Farm-in Agreement to earn up to 70%)

Rox (51%) is exploring the Bonya Copper Project located 350km east of Alice Springs, Northern Territory, in joint venture with Arafura Resources Limited (49%) (ASX:ARU). Outcrops of visible copper grading up to 34% Cu and 27 g/t Ag are present, with the style of mineralisation similar to the adjacent Jervois copper deposits (see ASX:KGL). Drill testing has intersected visible copper mineralisation at three prospects, with massive copper sulphides intersected at the Bonya Mine prospect, including 38m @ 4.4% Cu and 11m @ 4.4% Cu (ASX:RXL 20 October 2014, 5 November 2014, 1 December 2014).

Under the Farm-in Agreement Rox has earned a 51% interest in the copper, lead, zinc, silver, gold, bismuth and PGE mineral rights at Bonya after spending \$500,000 (ASX:RXL 16 December 2014). Rox is earning a further 19% (for 70% in total) by spending a further \$1 million by 10 December 2017.

and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard
tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or
other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by
what method, etc).
Drilling techniques were Reverse Circulation (RC) and

There is no observable relationship between recovery
and grade, and therefore no sample bias.
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of
detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource
estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.
Detailed geological logs have been carried out on all RC
drill holes, but no geotechnical data have been recorded
(or is possible to be recorded due to the nature of the
sample). The geological data would be suitable for
inclusion in a Mineral Resource estimate.

mine workings and other locations used in Mineral
Resource estimation.
Not applicable. A hand held GPS has been used to
determine collar locations at this stage, however DGPS
collar surveys will be undertaken by a licensed surveyor
shortly.
Specification of the grid system used. The grid system is MGA_GDA94, zone 51 for easting,
northing and RL.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control. The topographic surface was generated from digital
terrain models generated from low level airborne
geophysical surveys.
Data spacing
and distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. The drill hole spacing varies 40-200 metres between drill
sections, with some areas at 40 metre drill section
spacing. Some sections (but not all) have had more than
one hole drilled. Down dip step out distance varies 20-
100 metres.
Whether the data spacing and distribution is
sufficient to establish the degree of geological and
grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s)
and classifications applied.
The mineralisation and geology shows good continuity
from hole to hole and will be sufficient to support the
definition of a Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve and the
classifications contained in the JORC Code (2012)
Edition) if applicable.
Whether sample compositing has been applied. For RC samples, sample compositing occurred over 2 or
4 metre intervals for non-mineralised material, but all
mineralised intervals were sampled at a one metre
interval.
Orientation of
data in relation
to geological
structure
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves
unbiased sampling of possible structures and the
extent to which this is known, considering the
deposit type.
The mineralisation strikes at between about 320-340
degrees and dip to the east at between -50 to -70
degrees. The drill orientation was planned to be between
240-250 degrees, however, some RC drill holes have
swung slightly south (to up to 230 degrees). Drilling is
essentially perpendicular to strike. This is confirmed in
structural logging of mineralised zones.
If the relationship between the drilling orientation and
the orientation of key mineralised structures is
considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if material.
No sampling bias is believed to have been introduced.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security. Sample security is managed by the Company. After
preparation in the field samples are packed into
polyweave bags and despatched to the laboratory. For a
large number of samples these bags were transported by
the Company directly to the assay laboratory. In some
cases the sample were delivered to a transport contractor
who then delivered the samples to the assay laboratory.
The assay laboratory audits the samples on arrival and
reports any discrepancies back to the Company. No such
discrepancies occurred.
Audits or
reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.
A review of previous sampling techniques and data was
carried out by Optiro Pty Ltd ("Optiro") as part of the
Camelwood Mineral Resource estimate (ASX:RXL 3
October 2013). The database is considered by Optiro to
be of sufficient quality to support a Mineral Resource
estimate. In addition, from time to time, the Company
carries out its own internal data audits.

Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths
These relationships are particularly important in the
reporting of Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to
the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be
reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are
reported, there should be a clear statement to this
effect (e.g. 'down hole length, true width not known').
The mineralisation is moderately east dipping throughout
the deposit. Drillhole azimuths were generally planned at
$240^0$ -270 0 and holes generally inclined at -60 0 west (but
see Table in text). Given the angle of the drill holes and
the interpreted dip of the host rocks and mineralisation
(see Figures in the text), reported intercepts will be more
than true width.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and
tabulations of intercepts should be included for any
significant discovery being reported These should
include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole
collar locations and appropriate sectional views.
Refer to Figures and Table in the text.
