ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 29 July 2022

June 2022 Quarterly Activities Report

Rubix Resources Limited (ASX: RB6, “ Rubix ”, or the “ Company ”) is pleased to provide a quarterly update on its activities for the June 2022 quarter.

CORPORATE

Entitlement Issue of Listed Options

On 16 May 2022, the Company announced a non-renounceable entitlement issue of options to eligible shareholders on the basis one (1) option (“Listed Option”) for every two (2) ordinary shares held by eligible at an issue price of A$0.001 (0.1 cents) per Loyalty option (“Entitlement Offer”). Each Listed Option will be exercisable for one fully paid ordinary share, at the exercise price of $0.20 (20 cents) per option on or before 16 June 2025.

POST QUARTER

Paperbark Project (Cu, Zn-Pb) – 100%

On 25 July 2022, the Company advised that drilling at the Paperbark Project in northwest Queensland is expected to commence this month. The Paperbark Project comprises EPM14309, held 100% by Rubix, and contains several prospective targets for both Zn-Pb and Cu mineralisation. Located approximately 25km to the southwest of the Century Pb-Zn deposit, the EPM encompasses the same geology which is host to the Century, Mount Isa, George Fisher and MacArthur River giant Pb-Zn deposits. This region is host to one of the world’s largest accumulations of zinc. Rubix is planning to drill a combination of reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drill holes for up to 2,000 metres, following up on prospective targets including unexplained high-grade surface copper mineralisation (Grunter North), a cryptic conductivity anomaly (Triangle) and to investigate the southern and eastern extension of the JB Zone Pb-Zn mineralisation (Figure 1).

The first hole will test an area of anomalous conductivity, a target known as Triangle. Previous drillholes in this area missed the target zone and did not intersect the causative source of the anomaly. Rubix will attempt to intersect this zone with a planned drillhole of 250m depth. Subsequent drillholes will investigate the potential for economic copper mineralisation at Grunter North (Figure 2). Previous exploration identified a zone of surface copper mineralisation (e.g., Figure 3), with 18 samples yielding > 1% Cu (oxides) over a strike length of 900m. High grade rock chips up to 42.7% Cu have been reported from Grunter North. Despite this, there has been very limited drilling at depth.

The remaining drillholes are designed to investigate the continuity of the JB Zone Pb-Zn mineralisation to the south and east. Rubix will release further information as drilling progresses.

The Company has entered into a land access and use agreement with the Waanyi people, who are the recognised Native Title Holders of the land covering the Paperbark Project area. In line with the customary industry standards, Rubix and the broader of the Waanyi Community will receive significant economic, social and environmental benefits.
