__________________________________________________

Australian gold and nickel company, Rox Resources Limited ("Rox" or "the Company") (ASX: RXL), in conjunction with its joint venture partner Venus Metals Corporation Limited (ASX: VMC) is pleased to provide an update on exploration activities at Youanmi Gold Project near Mt Magnet, WA, in the OYG JV area (Rox 70% and Manager, VMC 30%).

RC drilling at Youanmi continues to yield high grade results building on the known extent of mineralisation at Link.

Assay results have been received for further 8 holes from the current RC program, results are awaited for 13 holes. Pleasingly, all holes received intersected gold mineralisation (refer to Table 1 for significant intersections) The Company notes assay turnaround times are running at approximately 5- 6 weeks.

Encouragingly, recently returned drill results have extended the known area of high-grade mineralisation at Link by 100m beneath the historically mined high-grade United North Pit. The highlight of this round of results being 4m @ 7.2g/t Au from 131m, including 2m @ 12.6g/t Au from 131m intersected in RXRC369 (Table 1, Figures 1 and 2).

These results also define a zone of high-grade mineralisation within 150m of existing underground development.

RC drilling remains ongoing. The current program has been designed to follow up recent high-grade results at Link, Junction and the Grace deposit.

Managing Director Alex Passmore commented: "We are pleased to report these near mine extensional drill results from Youanmi. The structural targets down plunge of historic pits that comprise Link are close to historic mine

RRL1743D

development and have the potential to add to mineable inventory for relatively low cost. We look forward to updating the market as more results come to hand."

Link Target Area

The Link Target is the area beneath the historically mined northern pits (United/Rebel/ Kathleen/ Kurrajong). Rox's exploration model shows this area is directly down plunge of high-grade shoots mined in the northern pits and underground Hill End Deeps mine. Little to no previous drilling has been completed in this area.

The RC holes reported in this announcement (RXRC369: 4m @ 7.2g/t Au from 131m, including 2m @ 12.6g/t Au from 131m and RXRC368: 4m @ 2.7g/t Au from 164m, including 2m @ 4.9g/t Au from 164m) demonstrate the Link area has strong potential to significantly enhance near mine gold inventory with close proximity to existing underground development. Follow up RC drilling at Link is underway.

Forward plan

Current drilling is delineating and extending shallow high-grade ore shoots at Grace, Link and Junction (Figure 1) with the aim of increasing the near-mine resource. Additionally, results from the RC program will aid in refining deeper down plunge targets for drill testing with an extensive upcoming diamond core drilling program.

The current drilling in near mine and resource extension areas will feed into mineral resource estimation and a subsequent definitive feasibility study for the project. Work for 2021 will include substantial RC and diamond drilling programs, metallurgical, hydrogeological, geotechnical and environmental studies to underpin an updated and optimised development plan.

The Company looks forward to updating the market on the further results of ongoing drilling programs as results are available.

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). The 1.2Moz Youanmi Gold Project and the Fisher East Nickel Project (78kt Ni) being the most advanced projects with exploration ongoing at the Mt Fisher Gold Project and the Collurabbie Nickel-Copper-PGE Project.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Youanmi Gold Project (Youanmi Gold Mine 70%, Regional JV's 50%)

The Youanmi Gold Mine is located 480 km to the northeast of Perth, Western Australia. The Youanmi Mining Centre has produced an estimated 667,000 oz of gold (at 5.47 g/t Au) since discovery in 1901 during three main periods: 1908 to 1921, 1937 to 1942, and 1987 to 1997.

The project is situated in the Youanmi Greenstone Belt, within the Southern Cross Province of the Archaean Yilgarn Craton in Western Australia. The structure of the Youanmi Project is dominated by the north-trending Youanmi Fault Zone. Most of the gold mineralisation seen at the project is hosted within north-northwest splays off the north-northeast trending Youanmi Fault.

Fisher East Nickel Project (100%)

The Fisher East nickel project is located in the North Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia and hosts several nickel sulphide deposits. The total project area is ~350km2.

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.

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. A JORC 2012 Inferred Mineral Resource of 573,000t grading 1.63% Ni, 1.19% Cu, 0.082% Co, 1.49g/t Pd, 0.85g/t Pt has been defined at Olympia (ASX: RXL 18 August 2017). 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 @ 2.4g/t Au from the Naxos prospect.

Mt Fisher Gold Project (100%)

The Mt Fisher gold project is located in the North Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia, adjacent to the Fisher East nickel project, and hosts several gold deposits. The total project area is ~220km2.

Drilling by Rox has defined numerous high-grade gold targets and a JORC 2012 Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource (ASX:RXL 11 July 2018) of 1.0 million tonnes grading 2.7 g/t Au reported at a 0.8 g/t Au cut-off exists for 89,000 ounces of gold (Measured: 170,000 tonnes grading 4.1 g/t Au, Indicated: 220,000 tonnes grading 2.7 g/t Au, Inferred: 630,000 tonnes grading 2.3 g/t Au) aggregated over the Damsel, Moray Reef and Mt Fisher deposits.

If any mineralised samples were collected wet thesewere noted in the drill logs and database.AC samples were scooped directly from drill sample piles.
For all sample types, the nature, quality andappropriateness of the sample preparation technique. The sample preparation followed industry best practice.Photon samples were dried, crushed to nominal minus3mm, and c. 500g linear split into photon assay jars foranalysis.Fire Assay samples were dried, coarse crushing to ~10mm,followed by pulverisation of the entire sample in an LM5 orequivalent pulverising mill to a grind size of 85% passing 75micron.
Quality control procedures adopted for all subsampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. Field QC procedures involve the use of Certified ReferenceMaterials (CRM's) as assay standards, along withduplicates and blank samples. The insertion rate of thesewas approximately 1:20.
Measures taken to ensure that the sampling isrepresentative of the in situ material collected,including for instance results for field duplicate/secondhalf sampling. For RC drilling field duplicates were taken on a routine basisat an approximate 1:20 ratio using the same samplingtechniques (i.e. cone splitter) and inserted into the samplerun.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain sizeof the material being sampled. The sample sizes are considered more than adequate toensure that there are no particle size effects relating to thegrain size of the mineralisation which lies in the percentagerange.
Quality of assaydata andlaboratory tests The nature, quality and appropriateness of theassaying and laboratory procedures used and whetherthe technique is considered partial or total. The analytical technique involved Photon assay method on500g sub-sample.The analytical technique involved Fire Assay 50g for check

Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g.standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratorychecks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e.lack of bias) and precision have been established. Internal laboratory control procedures involve duplicateassaying of randomly selected assay pulps as well asinternal laboratory standards. All of these data are reportedto the Company and analysed for consistency and anydiscrepancies.
Verification ofsampling andassaying The verification of significant intersections by eitherindependent or alternative company personnel. Senior personnel from the Companyhave visuallyinspected mineralisation within significant intersections.
The use of twinned holes. Two twin RC holes have been completed at the GraceProspect and confirm reliability of previous results.

Quality and adequacy of topographic control. The topography of the mined open pits is well defined byhistoric monthly survey pickups
Data spacing anddistribution Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. RC drill hole spacing varies 40-200 metres between drillsections, with some areas at 40 metre drill section spacing.Down dip step-out distance varies 20-100 metres.
Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficientto establish the degree of geological and gradecontinuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource andOreReserveestimationprocedure(s)andclassifications applied. Data spacing and distribution are sufficient to establish thedegree of geological and grade continuity appropriate forJORC(2012) classifications applied.
No sample compositing has occurred for diamond coredrilling. Sample intervals are based on geologicalboundaries with even one metre samples between.
Whether sample compositing has been applied. For RC samples, 1m samples through target zones weresent to the laboratory for analysis. The remainder of the holewas sampled using 4m composite samples. For 4mcomposite samples >0.25g/t Au, 1m samples were collectedand sent to the laboratory for analysis.
Orientation ofdata in relationto geologicalstructure Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiasedsampling of possible structures and the extent to whichthis is known, considering the deposit type. The mineralisation strikes generally NNW-SSE and dips tothe west at approximately -50 degrees. The drill orientationwas 065 and 245 degrees and -60 to -90 dip. Drilling isbelieved to be generally perpendicular to strike.
If the relationship between the drilling orientation andthe orientation of key mineralised structures isconsidered to have introduced a sampling bias, thisshould be assessed and reported if material. No sampling bias is believed to have been introduced.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security. Sample security is managed by the Company. Afterpreparation in the field samples are packed into polyweavebags and despatched to the laboratory. For a large numberof samples these bags were transported by the Companydirectly to the assay laboratory. In some cases the samplewere delivered bya transport contractor the assaylaboratory. The assay laboratory audits the samples onarrival and reports any discrepancies back to the Company.No such discrepancies occurred.
Audits orreviews The results of any audits or reviews of samplingtechniques and data. No audits have yet been completed.

Thisstructure separates two discordant greenstone terrains, withthe stratigraphy to the west characterised by a series ofweakly deformed, layered mafic complexes (Windimurra,Black Range, Youanmi and Barrambie) enveloped bystrongly deformed, north-northeast trending greenstones.Gold mineralisation is developed semi-continuously in shearzones over a strike length of 2,300m along the westernmargin of the Youanmi granite.The Youanmi gold lodes are invariably associated with a highpyrite and arsenopyrite content and the primary ore ispartially to totally refractory.There are a series of major fault systems cutting through theYouanmi trend mineralisation that have generated somesignificant off-sets.The Youanmi Deeps project area is subdivided into threemain areas or fault blocks by cross-cutting steep south-easttrending faults; and these are named Pollard, Main, and HillEnd from south to north respectively.Granite hosted gold mineralisation occurs at several sites,most notably Grace and the Plant Zone Prospects. Goldmineralization occurs as free particles within quartz-sericitealtered granite shear zones.The Commonwealth-Connemarra mineralised trend iscentred 4km northwest of the Youanmi plant. The geologycomprises a sequence of folded mafic and felsic volcanicrocks intercalated with BIF and intruded by granite along theeastern margin. Gold mineralisation is developed over a600m strike length, associated with a north trending andsteeply west dipping shear zone that traverses the northwesttrending succession.
Drill holeInformation A summary of all information material to theunderstanding of the exploration results including atabulation of the following information for all Material drillholes:•easting and northing of the drill hole collar•elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevationabove sea level in metres) of the drill holecollar•dip and azimuth of the hole•down hole length and interception depth•hole length. Refer to drill results Table/s and the Notes attached thereto.
Data aggregationmethods In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averagingtechniques,maximumand/orminimumgradetruncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-offgrades are usually Material and should be stated. All reported assay intervals have been length weighted. Notop cuts have been applied. A lower cut-off of 0.5g/t Au wasapplied for RC.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths ofhigh-grade results and longer lengths of low-graderesults, the procedure used for such aggregation shouldbe stated and some typical examples of suchaggregations should be shown in detail. Mineralisation over 0.5g/t Au has been included inaggregation of intervals for RC and diamond core.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
The assumptions used for any reporting of metalequivalent values should be clearly stated. No metal equivalent values have been used or reported.
Relationshipbetweenmineralisationwidths andintercept lengths These relationships are particularly important in thereporting of Exploration Results.If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to thedrill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.If it is not known and only the down hole lengths arereported, there should be a clear statement to this effect(e.g. 'down hole length, true width not known'). The mineralisation strikes generally NNW-SSE and dips tothe west at approximately -50 degrees. The drill orientationwas 065 and 245 degrees and -60 to -90 dip. Drilling isbelieved to be generally perpendicular to strike. Given theangle of the drill holes and the interpreted dip of the hostrocks and mineralisation (see Figures in the text), reportedintercepts approximate true width.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) andtabulations of intercepts should be included for anysignificant discovery being reported These shouldinclude, but not be limited to a plan view of drill holecollar locations and appropriate sectional views. Refer to Figures and Table in the text.
Balancedreporting Where comprehensive reporting of all ExplorationResults is not practicable, representative reporting ofboth low and high grades and/or widths should bepracticed to avoid misleading reporting of ExplorationResults. Representative reporting of both low and high grades andwidths is practiced.
Othersubstantiveexploration data Other exploration data, if meaningful and material,should be reported including (but not limited to):geological observations; geophysical survey results;geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size andmethod of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulkdensity,groundwater,geotechnicalandrockcharacteristics; potential deleterious or contaminatingsubstances. All meaningful and material information has been included inthe body of the announcement.
Further work The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. testsfor lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scalestep-out drilling).Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possibleextensions, including the main geological interpretationsand future drilling areas, provided this information is notcommercially sensitive Further work (RC and diamond drilling) is justified to locateextensions to mineralisation both at depth and along strike.
