West Australian gold exploration and growth firm, Rox Sources Restricted (“Rox” or “the Firm”) (ASX: RXL), has acquired the ultimate batch of assays from its 11,000m DD and RC program on the Youanmi Gold Undertaking in WA.
- The most recent batch of assays have been acquired from the 11,000m drilling program (each diamond core and reverse circulation) on the excessive gold-grade Youanmi Gold Undertaking, situated centrally in Western Australia’s prolific gold fields
- The recently-completed infill/exploration program aimed to enhance useful resource confidence and open up corridors for useful resource development; to underpin the Definitive Feasibility Examine (DFS), and, moreover, present pattern materials for ongoing metallurgical optimisation test-work for the DFS program
- Newest highlights from this system embody:
- RXDD131: 4.38m @ 19.07 g/t Au from 387.98m,
- incl. 1.73m @ 41.43 g/t Au from 389.96m
- RXDD119: 4.56m @ 14.60 g/t Au from 220.64m
- RXDD115: 2.99m @ 21.11 g/t Au from 249.88m
- RXDD119: 4.0m @ 7.37 g/t Au from 162.0m
- RXDD132: 7.19m @ 3.90 g/t Au from 263.61m
- RXDD133: 2.83m @ 6.53 g/t Au from 431.00m
- RXDD128: 3.82m @ 4.51 g/t Au from 364.59m,
- incl. 1.73m @ 8.22 g/t Au from 364.59m
- RXDD122: 0.95m @ 13.50 g/t Au from 204.44m
- §These outcomes additional display the continuity of high- grade gold mineralisation alongside the Youanmi greenstone belt belt, and the potential for useful resource development each at depth and along-strike, with discovery potential to the south
- 35,000m Step-up drill marketing campaign effectively underway with the plan to carry ahead ounces and improve the mine plan
This system targeted on changing Inferred stopes at Pollard, United North and Youanmi Principal to increased confidence Indicated classification and offering materials for metallurgical testing for the upcoming Definitive Feasibility Examine (DFS) – on observe for H2 CY25.
This ultimate consignment of diamond assay outcomes are the fourth batch of assays outcomes returned from the drill program and have been solely drilled from the Pollard, Youanmi and United North areas (Determine 1).
Rox Sources’ Chief Government Officer, Phillip Wilding, commented:
“It’s pleasing to spherical out the 11,000m RD and DD drilling program with one other batch of wonderful intercepts.
“Extra importantly, this system has considerably improved our data of the excessive grade and underexplored Youanmi ore system, and proven that mineralisation stays open at depth.
“Subsequent steps are to transform Inferred areas of the Useful resource to the upper confidence Indicated classification, and finalise key intercepts of pattern materials for metallurgical take a look at work to feed into the Youanmi DFS.
“We’re excited to have commenced the 35,000m Step-up program to doubtlessly carry ahead ounces within the mine plan and considerably improve the dimensions of the Pollard ore zone.”
Youanmi Main Development Drill program
Useful resource drilling has targeted on changing chosen Inferred stopes within the present Mineral Useful resource of 16.2Mt at 4.4g/t Au for two.3Moz (Indicated: 10.7Mt at 4.5g/t Au for 1.6 Moz : Inferred 5.5Mt at 4.2g/t Au for 0.7 Moz) 1 to increased confidence Indicated classification at Pollard, United North and Youanmi Principal as proven in plan on Determine 1. The drilling has additionally offered each pattern materials for metallurgical testing and helpful geological information for the pending Definitive Feasibility Examine (“DFS”) deliberate for second half of 2025.

Exterior of the fast useful resource space, drilling was additionally carried out on near-mine exploration and targeted on the Youanmi South prospect space, or Paddy’s Lode, first reporting high-grade intercepts in 20232. The drilling at Paddy’s has complimented the Firm’s exploration technique shifting south alongside the Principal Lode Shear Zone (MLSZ) and including further gold ounces to the Useful resource. Youanmi South has the potential to develop the Useful resource above the 103kozpa Manufacturing Goal outlined within the lately accomplished Pre-Feasibility Examine (“PFS”)3.
