Grace's gold looks to be getting bigger for Rox

High-grade hit recorded 100m from promising prospect

This article is 3 years old. Images might not display.

The hit was made 100m south of the previous known extent of Grace, with further results pending.

The targeting for Rox's drilling is based on a re-interpretation of the structural controls on mineralisation following work campaigns undertaken in 2020. 

RC drilling is continuing.

A new resource estimate is due this year, with feasibility work also planned.

Additionally, diamond core drilling is planned after problems with a previous contractor last year.  

Funding for the work was confirmed earlier this month when gold growth company backer Hawke's Point bought an 13% stake in Rox for A$11 million.

That investment took Rox's treasury (including receivables) to circa-$20 million.

Shares in Rox were up 10% to 4.4c in afternoon trade, capitalising the company at $90 million.
