Exciting New Nickel Discovery at Sabre Prospect

Perth, Mar 25, 2015 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Rox Resources Limited (googlechartASX:RXL) (googlechartRXRS:OTCMKTS) ("Rox" or "the Company") is pleased to report a new nickel discovery from an aircore drilling program undertaken at its 100% owned Fisher East Nickel Project, 500km north of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.

The results are from the newly identified Sabre prospect located 6km south of the Musket nickel sulphide deposit (Figure 2 in link below). The drill holes are situated on E53/1802, acquired late in 2014 (ASX RXL 8 December 2014) under an Option agreement with a local prospector.

The nickel targets were identified using methods developed by Rox's exploration team, which successfully discovered the Camelwood, Musket and Cannonball deposits.

The high copper (Cu) and platinum group element (PGE) values in holes FEAC278 and 293 are on sections 200m apart along strike and are strongly suggestive of massive sulphides at depth.

Managing Director Ian Mulholland commented, "These first aircore results at Sabre are very exciting, as the highly anomalous copper, platinum and palladium results over a strike length of 200m are by far the best we've reported to date. The nickeliferous gossan drilled is indicative of nickel sulphide mineralisation at depth."

"We are enjoying remarkable exploration success along the Fisher East ultramafic belt which is confirming our long-held belief that we have discovered a new nickel sulphide camp at Fisher East similar to Kambalda and Leinster, not just an isolated deposit."

The results include:

FEAC278 8m @ 0.87% Ni, 1,500ppm Cu, 330ppb PGE (Pd+Pt+Au) from 72-80m,
including 5m @ 1.08% Ni from 74-79m
FEAC277 6m @ 0.45% Ni, 130ppm Cu, from 47-53m
FEAC293 6m @ 0.40% Ni, 808ppm Cu, 25ppb PGE from 65-71m
FEAC292 2m @ 0.35% Ni, 124ppm Cu from 79-81m
