Rox holds a 70% interest in the Youanmi Gold Mine (OYG Joint Venture). It is the manager of the JV.
Previously produced 670,000 ounces at 5.4g/t Au; closure in 1997 when gold price was A$400/oz – A$450/oz
Last parcel of ore mined underground at Youanmi (November 1997) was at 14.6g/t Au grade
Existing decline in place – to about 600 metres below ground

Youanmi Total Mineral Resources increased by 466 koz (+39%) to 1,656 koz of contained gold (Au). Junction and Link mineralisation to be incorporated in later models.
$16 per ounce discovery cost for this addition to the resource, well below industry averages.

Resources start from surface and in many cases do not require a pit cutback (Grace, Plant Zone, Hill End)
Opportunity for a high grade starter pit (Grace, and potentially Hill End) followed by a high grade underground (using 1990’s decline as a starting point) Parallel lodes in the hanging wall a key growth opportunity and adds ounces per vertical metre (lower capital to access) Longer term – larger scale open pit expansion opportunity
Exploration is ongoing with Resource growth likely to continue
