Welcome to Rox Resources

Rox is a Perth-based Australian exploration company with a geographically diversified suite of zinc-lead projects in Australia and Laos. Rox has established strong projects in some of the world's most promising zinc-lead provinces at Myrtle and Pha Luang.

The Myrtle zinc-lead deposit is located just 17km south of the McArthur River zinc-lead mine in the Northern Territory. The McArthur River (HYC) zinc-lead deposit is one of the largest in the world.

At Myrtle, Rox has identified a potentially very large zinc-lead deposit with an Inferred Resource of:

  • 37 million tonnes grading 4.2% Zn, 1.0% Pb at a 3% cut-off

Higher grade continuous zones of mineralisation are included in this resource such as:

  • 15 million tonnes grading 5.5% Zn, 1.5% Pb at a 5% cut-off, or
  • 8.2 million tonnes grading 6.4% Zn, 1.9% Pb at a 6% Zn + Pb cut-off

Myrtle is already in the top 10 SEDEX zinc deposits in Australia, and is probably the most significant zinc discovery of its type in Australia in the last 20 years or so.

Only a small portion of the prospective resource area has been drilled, and it is expected that the ultimate resource will be 3-4 times its current size.

Mineralisation at Myrtle is coarse-grained (majority >100 microns in size), so good metallurgical properties and recoveries are expected.

A scoping study has commenced for the Myrtle project. Similiar projects to Myrtle in terms of deposit size and grade, but in less developed parts of the world have recently achieved positive Pre-Feasibility results. Rox is confident that Myrtle will produce excellent economies once the necessary work has been completed.

The Pha Luang zinc-lead sulphide project in Laos has the potential to become a large new MVT style zinc-lead district. The project area covers a 20km² granted mining concession area and contains numerous zinc-lead prospects. Rox is the first explorer to apply modern techniques to the area.  Mineralisation is widespread with zinc and lead oxides and sulphides outcropping in various places along a strike length of over 10km. A number of very strong drill intercepts have been made, and extensions to known mineralisation remain untested.
