Chairman’s Review
Dear Shareholder,
The previous year has seen significant changes taking place at Rox.
Firstly, our long serving Managing Director, Ian Mulholland, stepped down in April this year. Ian was a co-founder of Rox and served
from the Company’s inception in 2003. On behalf of shareholders, I thank Ian for his contribution, and wish him well in his retirement.
Alex Passmore joined Rox as its CEO in February this year and was subsequently appointed as Managing Director in May. Alex is a
geologist with extensive commercial experience.
Since joining Rox, Alex has wasted no time in identifying new opportunities for the Company. In June we completed the acquisition of
an initial 50% interest in the Youanmi Gold Mine Joint Venture, with the ability to increase this interest to 70% within the next 2 years.
The Youanmi Mining Centre produced 667,000 ounces of gold up until when it closed in 1997, and the project acquired by Rox includes
significant Indicated and Inferred JORC2012 Gold Resources of 12.4Mt @ 2.97g/t Au for 1.19million ounces. Rox also entered other
regional joint ventures with Venus Metals Corporation Limited (VMC) to jointly explore the broader Youanmi shear zone. Rox now
holds an attractive tenure position at Youanmi, which is along strike from the recently discovered high- grade Penny West gold deposit.
There is clearly strong potential for the resources in and around the historic pits at Youanmi to have economic prospects at current
gold prices, and early in August we commenced a 14,000m RC drill program over newly developed high-grade targets and extensions
to known mineralisation. VMC, as operator of the Youanmi regional joint ventures, is also undertaking a drilling program at Currans
Find and other regional targets, and early in August significant high-grade intersections at Currans Find North were announced to the
market (refer VMC ASX release August 5). These programs of work will continue through to the end of October.
Rox has also taken the step of looking to build its nickel and gold resources on tenements close to our Fisher East Nickel Project.
In August we reached agreement with Cullen Resources Limited whereby Rox can earn up to a 75% interest in a 290km2 tenement
package known as Mt Eureka, located adjacent to and along strike of Fisher East. An Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 4.4 Mt
@ 1.9% Ni for 78,000 tonnes has previously been identified by Rox at Fisher East and based on our experience we are well placed to
identify and explore prospective new drill targets at Mt Eureka.
Both nickel and gold are excellent minerals to be exploring for at the present time, attested to by the growing EV market for nickel,
and in the case of gold a gold price which in AUD terms is close to being at a 20 year high. Rox intends to aggressively explore for
these commodities at Youanmi and Fisher East, and we can look forward to seeing the results from these programs come forward in
the next few months.
Finally, it is pleasing to see that finally the market is beginning to reward our Company with a higher share price in response to the
initiatives we have recently taken. Thanks must go our shareholders for their continued support, as well to Alex, Brett Dickson and
Rox’s dedicated exploration team for their continued efforts.

Projects
Youanmi Gold Project (Youanmi Gold Mine 50% and option to increase to 70%, Regional JV’s
45-50% earn-in)
The Youanmi Gold Project is located 480 km to the northeast of Perth, Western Australia. The project is accessed by the sealed
Great Northern Highway for a distance of 418 km from Perth to Paynes Find and then for 150 km by the unsealed Paynes Find to
Sandstone Road.
On 10 April 2019 the Company announced the intention to acquire the Youanmi Gold Project in joint venture with Venus Metals
Corporation Limited (“Venus”) and on 21st June 2019 the acquisition transaction was completed.
Project Location Map
The agreement and joint acquisition with Venus resulted in the formation of three joint ventures (refer Figure 3):
1. The OYG JV area covers 65km2, is circa 10km x 7km wide, and surrounds the Youanmi Gold Mine and nearby extensions;
2.
the VMC JV which covers 302km2; and
3.
the Youanmi Joint Venture which covers 270km2
The regional JVs extend the length of tenure to 40km of strike along the Youanmi Shear Zone (Figure 3).
On 15 April 2019 Rox added to its tenure at the Youanmi project by the joint acquisition, with Venus, of a 90% interest in the high-grade
Currans Find and Pinchers projects. The 90% interest in each property being acquired is to be shared equally between Venus and Rox,
with the remaining 10% held by the vendor.

The Youanmi Mining Centre has produced an estimated 667,000 oz of gold (at 5.47 g/t Au) since discovery in 1901 during three main
periods: 1908 to 1921, 1937 to 1942, and 1987 to 1997. Most of the gold was produced from the Youanmi Mine with an estimated
96,000oz produced from Youangarra, Penny West, Columbia-Magenta, Currans and other minor prospects.
The structure of the Youanmi Project is dominated by the north-trending Youanmi Fault Zone. Most of the gold mineralisation seen at
the project is hosted within north-northwest splays off the north-northeast trending Youanmi Fault.
The current Resource Estimates at the Youanmi Gold Project is 2.4Mt at 2.97g/t Au for 1,190,600 ounces of gold (ASX: 7 April 2019).
Exploration Activities
The Currans JV transaction completed prior to the OYG/Youanmi transaction (15th April 2019), accordingly exploration activity
(principally comprising RC Drilling) on that project was able to start earlier than near mine exploration. Exploration at the Currans,
VMC and Youanmi JVs, managed by our joint venture partner, Venus , is ongoing with the current focus areas being Currans high grade
lodes and regional air core drilling along the broader Youanmi trend to the north of the Penny West gold deposit.
Exploration at the Youanmi Gold Project, managed by Rox, commenced in the last week of July 2019 and is ongoing.
As at the date of this report Rox had completed over 9,000m of RC drilling with results released to the ASX in accordance with normal
procedures. Drilling activities are expected to continue into October 2019 with resource estimation work to follow.
The Company is testing both: (1) new conceptual targets that have the potential to open up new areas of mineralisation and (2) drilling
out positions of the significant Youanmi gold deposits or areas where there is potential for repeats.

Geology and Exploration Model
The Youanmi mine area greenstone belt consists of mafic and felsic volcanics, volcaniclastics, minor banded iron formations, cherts
and both syn-and post-mineralisation dolerite dykes. The sequence is bounded to the west by the Rifle Range Fault and also a large
circular layered mafic intrusion which is considered to be younger than the mine sequence. To the east the greenstone belt abuts
the Youanmi Granite which shows both sheared and intrusive margins with the greenstone. The granite and the greenstone belt are
sheared and faulted by the Main Lode Shear Zone which trends north-west from the larger north-east trending Youanmi Shear Zone
at the southern end of the Youanmi Granite.
Displacement on the Main Lode Shear Zone is predominantly strike-slip sinistral (and dip-slip reverse) and is considered to be a very
important control in relation to gold mineralisation at Younami. Areas of relatively low-pressure during displacement (i.e. “pressure
shadows” or dilation zones) along the granite / greenstone contact, in proximity to the shear zone are particularly prospective (Figure
1). Much of the historical mineralisation at Youanmi is located in these zones where the granite/greenstone is oriented more east-west
than north-south thereby supporting the thesis.

Rox Exploration Targeting
Rox is using the above interpretation, among other things, to instruct its targeting at Youanmi. The Company is in the process of
acquiring high quality magnetic data (drone mag) and ground penetrating radar data to further assist the targeting process.
The Company’s exploration focus (Figure 1) for this program is gold mineralisation hosted in:
•
•
Sheared greenstone / granite contact (e.g. Main Lode Shear Zone)
Stock work mineralisation in the Youanmi Granite (e.g. Plant Zone)
• Dilational jogs and shears outside the Main Lode Shear Zone (e.g. Commonwealth)
Historical mining at Youanmi has centred on the Main Lode Shear Zone deposits situated in and around old workings. Plant zone
(Granite hosted mineralisation), Commonwealth (distal dilational jog) and Youanmi South (Main Lode Style) are unmined with
mineralisation occurring from near surface in all cases.

Rox Resources Annual Report 2019
Currans Find
The Currans Find project area is located within the Youanmi Greenstone Belt and situated approximately 5km north-northwest of
the historical Penny West gold mine (Figure 3). High-grade mineralisation is associated with quartz veins that generally plunge to the
southwest and steeply dip to the southeast. The mineralisation is hosted by mafic rocks (amphibolite), ultramafics (talc-tremolite
schist) and diorite. Similar rocks are host to gold mineralisation at Penny West.
The Company, in conjunction with its joint venture partner, has completed three stages of RC drilling at Currans (see ASX releases
13 June, 24 June, 5 August, 5 September). Best results from these programs are as follows:
CFRC26 3m @ 32.58 g/t Au from 115m, Including 1m @ 76.03 g/t Au from 115m
CFRC42 4m @ 9.25 g/t Au from 46m, Including 2m @ 16.05 g/t Au from 48m
CFRC16 3m @ 27.5 g/t Au from 39m, Including 1m @ 72.67 g/t Au from 39m
CFRC14 2m @ 13.34 g/t Au from 61m, Including 1m @ 25.38 g/t Au from 61m
CFRC31 3m @ 25.00 g/t Au from 109m, Including 1m @ 57.15 g/t Au from 110m
CFRC32 1m @ 39.61 g/t Au from 94m
CFRC46 1m @ 13.32 g/t Au from 110m and 2m @ 3.84 g/t Au from 128m
CFRC47 4m @ 5.28 g/t Au from 90m, Including 1m @ 15.30 g/t Au from 92m and 2m @ 5.05 g/t Au from 111m
Results from the program indicated the presence of two stacked lodes at Currans North and show and increase in gold grade and
width in the upper lode (CFRC47 and CFRC46). Results to hand indicate the gold mineralisation remains open at depth and down
plunge. A stage 4 drill program is planned.

Projects
Mt Fisher Gold Project
During the year, a 6,000m+ drilling program was completed at the company’s Mt Fisher Gold Project.
The program comprised 3,075m of aircore drilling and 3,031m of RC drilling for a total of 6,106m. The best results received at the time
of writing are from Dam and Dirks prospects:
• 16m @ 1.74g/t Au from 56m in MFRC047 at the Dam prospect
• 8m @ 1.86g/t Au from 92m in MFRC041 at the Dirks prospect
• 4m @ 1.56g/t Au from 36m and 4m @ 2.93 Au from 52m in MFRC045 at the Dam prospect
The focus for the drilling program was to test deeper basement targets following new modelling of ‘depth to basement’ and conceptual
modelling of the source of Dam regolith hosted gold.
Interpretations are ongoing however, a single basement source of, or a sufficiently large trap site for gold mineralisation site was not
able to be delineated in this phase of drilling.
Fisher East Nickel
The Fisher East nickel project is located in the North Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia and hosts several nickel sulphide
deposits. The total project area is ~350km2.
In response to the continued improvement in nickel sentiment in late 2018 the Company conducted an update to the Fisher East
Scoping Study (ASX: RXL 10 October 2018).
The results of the study demonstrated a project with strong economic and technical credentials at a consensus projected forward
nickel price. In addition, there would be a significant upside to project economics with an increased resource base. Capital costs were
relatively low, with competitive cash operating costs. The high-level study considered two primary development scenarios, building a
stand-alone concentrator or toll milling at a nearby operation.
Discovery of, and drilling at the Camelwood, Cannonball and Musket nickel prospects has defined a JORC 2012 Mineral Resource
(ASX:RXL 5 February 2016) of 4.2Mt grading 1.9% Ni reported at 1.0% Ni cut-off (Indicated Mineral Resource: 3.7Mt grading 1.9%
Ni, Inferred Mineral Resource: 0.5Mt grading 1.5% Ni) comprising massive and disseminated nickel sulphide mineralisation, and
containing 78,000 tonnes of nickel. Higher grade mineralisation is present in all deposits (refer to ASX announcement above) and is
still open at depth beneath each deposit. Additional nickel sulphide deposits continue to be discovered (e.g. Sabre) and these will add
to the resource base. Exploration is continuing to define further zones of potential nickel sulphide mineralisation.

Rox Resources Annual Report 2019
Mt Eureka Project JV
The Mt Eureka Nickel and Gold Project is located in the Northern Goldfields, about 600km northeast of Kalgoorlie (about 120km east
of Wiluna) and immediately to the north of Rox Resources’ Mt Fisher Gold and Fisher East Nickel Projects (Figure 5 below).
In August 2019, the Company entered into a binding terms sheet with Cullen Exploration Pty Ltd (a subsidiary of Cullen Resources
Limited (“Cullen”) which allows Rox to earn up to a 75% interest in Cullen’s Mt Eureka tenements (all minerals).
Key terms of the agreement are as follows:
• Rox may earn a 51% interest by spending $1m on exploration expenditure within a three-year period from satisfaction of
certain Conditions Precedent (Stage 1 Earn In).
• Cullen will receive $40,000 cash upon satisfaction of one of the Conditions Precedent.
•
If Rox earns the 51% interest, it can elect to earn a further 24% interest by expending a further $1m on exploration expenditure
over a three-year period, commencing at the end of the Stage 1 Earn In.
• Rox must spend a minimum of $333,334 and ensure the Cullen tenements are in good standing on a daily pro rata basis before
it may withdraw.
• Upon Rox earning 51% or, if it earns the additional 24%, upon Rox earning 75%, the parties will be associated in an unincorporated
Joint Venture in relation to the Joint Venture Tenements, which will include certain Rox tenements and applications (see the
Schedule and Fig.1 below).
•
•
•
If Rox earns 75%, Cullen will be free-carried, with no liability for any Joint Venture costs, until completion of a Pre-Feasibility
Study.
If Rox only earns 51%, or earns 75% and completes a Pre-Feasibility Study, thereafter Cullen must contribute to Joint Venture
costs pro-rata or dilute under a standard dilution formula.
If a Participant’s interest falls to 10% or less, that Participant’s interest will be converted to a Net Smelter Return Royalty of 1%
on those Cullen tenements already subject to a royalty and 2.5% on the balance of the Joint Venture Tenements.
The Mt Eureka Greenstone belt represents the northernmost 40 strike km of the contiguous Mt Fisher – Mt Eureka belt. The strike
length of prospective ultramafic stratigraphy on the Mt Eureka Group of tenements is extensive with the prospective basal contact unit
extended from Rox’s tenure onto the Mt Eureka tenure.
A dominant feature of the Mt Eureka belt is the prominent magnetic-high Silverbark BIF/chert which runs along the eastern margin
of the belt from the northern end of Camelwood for about 25km to Doyle’s Bore (Figure 5). This metasedimentary horizon is located
at approximately the stratigraphic basal ultramafic position with almost all significant mineralisation discovered at Fisher East
immediately east of this horizon. This has important implications for continued exploration focusing on this eastern margin of the belt
and will be an initial focus for Rox.

Collurabbie Nickel
Late in 2018 the Company completed a diamond drilling program at Collurabbie Nickel Project, located 230km north of Laverton in
Western Australia with encouraging results (ASX: RXL 18 October 2018).
The overall aim of the diamond drilling program was:
•
•
To obtain samples of mineralisation from the Olympia deposit for metallurgical test work, and
To test RC and aircore anomalies at the Olympia North prospect.
Significant results received from Olympia in hole CXDD004 were:
• 1.8m @ 1.27% Ni, 2.81% Cu, 0.09% Co, 5.97 g/t Pt+Pd from 90.4m, and
• 6.05m @ 1.31% Ni, 1.06% Cu, 0.12% Co, 2.25 g/t Pt+Pd from 97.95m, including 1.9m @ 2.25% Ni, 2.02% Cu, 0.07% Co, 3.21 g/t
Pt+Pd from 97.95m
Two diamond holes were drilled at the Olympia North prospect, co-funded by the Western Australian Government. The target
ultramafic unit seems to have thinned at depth below the aircore and RC drilling anomalies. In CXDD002 immediately above the
mineralised ultramafic unit, a thick porphyry unit was intersected and may be associated with potential remobilisation of Ni-Cu
sulphides. Downhole electromagnetic surveys were completed.
Best results were:
• 0.2m @ 0.48% Ni, 0.25% Cu, 0.02% Co, 0.53 g/t Pt+Pd from 167.3m in hole CXDD002, and
• 0.2m @ 0.91% Ni, 0.81% Cu, 0.03% Co, 0.62 g/t Pt+Pd from 202.9m in hole CXDD003
Current JORC 2012 Mineral Resources at Collurabbie total:
• 573,000t @ 1.6% Ni, 1.2% Cu, 0.082% Co and 2.3 g/t Pt+Pd, for contained tonnes of 9,170 Ni, 6,880t Cu, 470t Co, 42,400oz Pt+Pd
(ASX: RXL 18 August 2017).

separate risk management committee.
The Board has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure that management’s objectives and activities are aligned with the risks
identified by the Board. These include the following:
• Board approval of a strategic plan, which encompasses the Group’s vision, mission and strategy statements, designed to meet
stakeholders needs and manage business risk; and

Committee Membership
As at the date of this report, the Group does not have separately constituted Audit and Remuneration Committees. The full board acts
as those committees under specific charters.
Significant Changes in State of Affairs
During the year the Group acquired the Youanmi Gold Project for $2,800,000 cash and $200,000 in ordinary fully paid shares
(25,000,000 shares). In addition, the Group has undertaken to spend $3,000,000 on exploration on the Youanmi Gold Project over the
next two years.
Other than the incorporation of a new wholly owned subsidiary, Rox (Murchison) Pty Ltd, there were no other significant changes in
the state of affairs of the Group during the year.
Matters Subsequent to the End of the Financial Year
On 21 August 2019 the Group announced it had entered into a binding terms sheet with Cullen Exploration Pty Ltd (a subsidiary of
Cullen Resources Limited) which allows Rox to earn up to a 75% interest in Cullen’s Mt Eureka Nickel and Gold Project. The Project is
located in the Northern Goldfields, about 600km northeast of Kalgoorlie (about 120km east of Wiluna) and immediately to the north
of Rox Resources’ Mt Fisher Gold and Fisher East Nickel Projects.
Key terms of the agreement are as follows:
• Rox may earn a 51% interest by spending $1m on exploration expenditure within a three-year period from satisfaction of
certain Conditions Precedent (Stage 1 Earn In).
• Cullen will receive $40,000 cash upon satisfaction of one of the Conditions Precedent.
•
If Rox earns the 51% interest, it can elect to earn a further 24% interest by expending a further $1m on exploration expenditure
over a three-year period, commencing at the end of the Stage 1 Earn In.
• Rox must spend a minimum of $333,334 and ensure the Cullen tenements are in good standing on a daily pro rata basis before
it may withdraw.
• Upon Rox earning 51% or, if it earns the additional 24%, upon Rox earning 75%, the parties will be associated in an unincorporated
Joint Venture in relation to the Joint Venture Tenements, which will include certain Rox tenements and applications
•
•
•
If Rox earns 75%, Cullen will be free-carried, with no liability for any Joint Venture costs, until completion of a Pre-Feasibility
Study.
If Rox only earns 51%, or earns 75% and completes a Pre-Feasibility Study, thereafter Cullen must contribute to Joint Venture
costs pro-rata, or dilute under a standard dilution formula.
If a Participant’s interest falls to 10% or less, that Participant’s interest will be converted to a Net Smelter Return Royalty of 1%
on those Cullen tenements already subject to a royalty and 2.5% on the balance of the Joint Venture Tenements.
On 26 September the Company completed a share placement to institutional and sophisticated investors to raise $4.0 million (before
costs) through the issue of 166,666,667 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.024 per share.
No other matter or circumstance has arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect
the operations of the Group, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Group in subsequent financial periods.

Remuneration Report (Audited)
Remuneration Committee
The full Board acts as the Remuneration Committee and is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements
for the Directors and the Managing Director (MD).
The Board assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of Directors on a periodic basis by reference to
relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a
high quality board and executive team.
Remuneration Philosophy
The performance of the Group depends upon the quality of its Directors and executives. To prosper, the Group must attract, motivate
and retain highly skilled Directors and executives.
To this end, the Group embodies the following principles in its remuneration framework:
• Provide competitive rewards to attract high calibre executives
•
•
Establish appropriate hurdles for variable executive remuneration
Encouragement for Directors to sacrifice a portion of their fees to acquire shares in the Company at market price
Remuneration Structure
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of Non-Executive Director and Director Remuneration is separate
and distinct.
Non-Executive Director Remuneration
Objective
The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain Directors
of the highest calibre, whilst keeping costs acceptable to shareholders.
Structure
The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of Non-Executive Directors shall be determined
from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then divided between the Directors as
agreed. The latest determination was in 2004 when shareholders approved an aggregate remuneration of $150,000 per year.
The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst
Directors is reviewed annually. The Board considers the fees paid to Non-Executive Directors of comparable companies when
undertaking the annual review process.
Each Non-Executive Director receives a fee for being a Director of the Company. The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors for the
years ended 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2018 is detailed later in this report.
Non-Executive Directors have long been encouraged by the Board to hold shares in the Company (purchased by the Director on
market). It is considered good governance for Directors to have a stake in the Company on whose board he or she sits. In addition,
long term incentives in the form of options may be awarded to Non-Executive Directors, subject to shareholder approval, in a manner
which aligns this element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth.
20
Rox Resources Annual Report 2019
Executive Remuneration
Objective
The Group aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities
within the Group and so as to:
•
•
•
•
reward executives for company and individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriate benchmarks;
align the interests of executives with those of shareholders;
link reward with the strategic goals; and
ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.
Structure
In determining the level and make-up of executive remuneration the Board considered market conditions and remuneration paid to
senior executives of companies similar in nature to Rox Resources Limited.
Remuneration consists of the following key elements:
•
Fixed Remuneration
• Variable Remuneration
·
·
short term incentive (“STI”); and
long term incentive (“LTI”)
Fixed Remuneration
Objective
The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the position and is
competitive in the market.
Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board and the process consists of a review of individual performance, relevant
comparative remuneration in the market and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices.
Structure
Executives are given the opportunity to receive their fixed (primary) remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and fringe
benefits such as motor vehicles. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating
undue cost for the Company.
The fixed remuneration component of all of the Directors is detailed later in this report.
Variable Remuneration – Short Term Incentive (“STI”)
Objective
The objective of the STI program is to link the achievement of the Group’s operational targets with the remuneration received by the
executives charged with meeting those targets. The total potential STI available is set at a level so as to provide sufficient incentive to
the executive to achieve those operational targets and such that the cost to the Company is reasonable in the circumstances.
Structure
Actual STI payments granted to executives depend on the extent to which specific targets, set at the beginning of the review period,
being a calendar year, are met. The targets consist of a number of Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) covering both financial and non-
financial, corporate and individual measures of performance. Typically included are measures such as contribution to exploration
success, share price appreciation, risk management and cash flow sustainability. These measures were chosen as they represent the
key drivers for the short term success of the business and provide a framework for delivering long term value.
The Board has predetermined benchmarks that must be met in order to trigger payments under the STI scheme. On an annual basis,
after consideration of performance against KPI’s, the Board, acting as a Remuneration Committee, determines the amount, if any, of
the STI to be paid to each executive. This process usually occurs in the first quarter of the following calendar year. Payments made are
delivered as a cash bonus in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year.
21
Directors’ Report
Remuneration Report (Audited)
STI bonus for 2018 and 2019
For the calendar year ended 31 December 2019 no KPI’s have been set.
For the calendar year ended 31 December 2018, the following key performance indicators were agreed for executives, with the relative
weighting of each shown in brackets.
1. Identify greater than 100,000t of contained nickel at greater than 2% at Fisher East and Collurabbie (35%)
2. (i) Successful “spin out” of Mt Fisher gold asset.
(ii) Identify and implement a strategic transaction for Rox which is value accretive (35%)
3. Ensure adequate safety, board reporting and project management (10%)
4. Engage with market participants to increase performance of the Company to be measured by outperforming the small
resources index (XSR) (20%)
For the 2018 year the maximum bonus available for Mr Mulholland was $82,500 and $41,250 for Mr Dickson. No bonus was paid for
the 2018 year.
Variable Remuneration – Long Term Incentive (“LTI”)
Objective
The objective of the LTI plan is to reward executives in a manner which aligns this element of remuneration with the creation of
shareholder wealth. As such LTI grants are only made to executives who are able to influence the generation of shareholder wealth.
The Company considers that shareholder wealth is measured by changes to the Company’s share price.
Structure
LTI grants to executives are delivered in the form of options. The options, when issued to executives, will not be exercisable for a price
less than the then current market price of the Company’s shares. The grant of LTI’s is reviewed annually, though LTI’s may not be
granted each year. Exercise price and performance hurdles, if any, are determined at the time of grant of the LTI.
To date no performance hurdles have been set on options issued to executives. The Company may, and at times has, imposed
time based service conditions. The Company believes that as options are issued at not less than the current market price of the
Company’s shares there is an inherent performance hurdle on those options as the share price of the Company’s shares must increase
significantly before there is any benefit to the executive.
Employment Contracts
The Managing Director, Mr Passmore is employed under contract. The current employment contract has no fixed term. Under the
terms of the present contact:
• Mr Passmore may resign from his position and terminate this contract by giving three months’ notice.

with section 200F (2) of the Corporations Act.
The Company may terminate the contract at any time without notice if serious misconduct has occurred. Where termination
with cause occurs, the Managing Director is only entitled to that portion of remuneration which is fixed, and only up to the date
of termination. On termination with cause any unvested options he holds will immediately be forfeited.
The Company Secretary, Mr Dickson is employed under a service contract. The current contract terminates on 31 December 2019, at
which time the Company may choose to commence negotiation to enter into a new service contract with Mr Dickson. Under the terms

Corporate Governance Statement
Rox Resources Limited ACN 107 202 602 (Company) has established a corporate governance framework, the key features of which are
set out in this statement. In establishing its corporate governance framework, the Company has referred to the recommendations set
out in the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations 3rd edition. The Company
has followed each recommendation where the Board has considered the recommendation to be an appropriate benchmark for its
corporate governance practices. Where the Company’s corporate governance practices follow a recommendation, the Board has
made appropriate statements reporting on the adoption of the recommendation. In compliance with the “if not, why not” reporting
regime, where, after due consideration, the Company’s corporate governance practices do not follow a recommendation, the Board
has explained it reasons for not following the recommendation and disclosed what, if any, alternative practices the Company has
adopted instead of those in the recommendation.

The Company reports below on whether it has followed each of the recommendations during the 2018/2019 financial year (Reporting
Period). The information in this statement is current at 25 September 2019. This statement was approved by a resolution of the Board
on 25 September 2019.
PRINCIPLE 1 – LAY SOLID FOUNDATIONS FOR MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT
Recommendation 1.1
The Company has established the respective roles and responsibilities of its Board and management, and those matters expressly
reserved to the Board and those delegated to management and have documented this in its Board Charter, which is disclosed on the
Company’s website.
Recommendation 1.2
The Company undertakes appropriate checks before appointing a person or putting forward to shareholders a candidate for election
as a director and provides shareholders with all material information in its possession relevant to a decision on whether to elect or
re-elect a director.
The Company provided shareholders with all material information in relation to the re-election of Mr Brett Dickson as a director at its
2018 Annual General Meeting.
Recommendation 1.3
The Company has a written agreement with each director and senior executive setting out the terms of their appointment. The
material terms of any employment, service or consultancy agreement the Company, or any of its child entities, has entered into with
its Managing Director, any of its directors, and any other person or entity who is related party of the Managing Director or any of
its directors has been disclosed in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 3.16.4 (taking into consideration the exclusions from disclosure
outlined in that rule).
28
Rox Resources Annual Report 2019
PRINCIPLE 1 – LAY SOLID FOUNDATIONS FOR MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT (CONTINUED)
Recommendation 1.4
The Company Secretary is accountable directly to the Board, through the Chair, on all matters to do with the proper functioning of
the Board as outlined in the Company’s Board Charter. The Company’s Secretary’s role is also outlined in the consultancy agreement
between the Company Secretary and the Company.
Recommendation 1.5
The Company has a Diversity Policy. However, the Diversity Policy does not include requirements for the Board to set measurable
objectives for achieving gender diversity and to assess annually both the objectives and the Company’s progress in achieving them. Nor
has the Board set measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity. Given the Company’s stage of development as an exploration
company and the number of employees, the Board considers that it is not practical to set measurable objectives for achieving gender
diversity at this time.
The respective proportions of men and women on the Board, in senior executive positions and across the whole organisation as
at the date of this statement are set out in the following table. “Senior executive” for these purposes means a person who makes,
or participates in the making of, decisions that affect the whole or a substantial part of the business or has the capacity to affect
significantly the Company’s financial standing. For the Reporting Period, this included the Managing Director and the Finance Director:
Whole organisation (including the Board)
Senior executive positions

Recommendation 1.6
Proportion of women

Company’s website.
During the Reporting Period an evaluation of the Board, its committees, and individual directors took place in accordance with the
process disclosed in the Company’s Process for Performance Evaluations.

Corporate Governance
PRINCIPLE 2 – STRUCTURE THE BOARD TO ADD VALUE
Recommendation 2.1
The Board has not established a separate Nomination Committee. Given the current size and composition of the Board, the Board
believes that there would be no efficiencies gained by establishing a separate Nomination Committee. Accordingly, the Board performs
the role of the Nomination Committee.
Although the Board has not established a separate Nomination Committee, it has adopted a Nomination Committee Charter,
which describes the role, composition and responsibilities of the full Board in its capacity as the Nomination Committee. When the
Board convenes as the Nomination Committee it carries out those functions which are delegated to it in the Company’s Nomination
Committee Charter. Separate meetings of the full Board in its capacity as the Nomination Committee are held, and minutes of those
meetings are taken. The Board deals with any conflicts of interest that may occur when convening in the capacity of the Nomination
Committee by ensuring that the director with conflicting interests is not party to the relevant discussions.
Details of director attendance at meetings of the full Board, in its capacity as the Nomination Committee, during the Reporting Period,
are set out in a table in the Directors’ Report on page 18.
Recommendation 2.2
The mix of skills and diversity for which the Board is looking to achieve in its membership is represented by the Board’s current
composition. While the Company is at exploration stage, it does not wish to significantly increase the size of the Board and considers
that the Board, which includes directors with geological qualifications, exploration and mining industry experience, experience in the
development and operation of mining projects in Australia and accounting and finance qualifications, is an appropriate mix of skills
and expertise relevant to the Company. Notwithstanding the boards current view that the composition of the board is appropriate, as
project acquisitions and development opportunities occur a review of the Board size and composition will be undertaken.
Recommendation 2.3
The Board considers the independence of directors having regard to the relationships listed in Box 2.3 of the Principles
& Recommendations. The sole independent director of the Company is Mr Stephen Dennis, Chairman of the Company.
The length of service of each director is set out in the Directors’ Report on page 16.
Recommendation 2.4
During the Reporting Period, the Board did not have a majority of directors who are independent. The Board considered that the
composition of the Board was adequate for the Company’s size and operations and included an appropriate mix of skills and expertise
relevant to the Company’s business.
As noted above, a review of the Board’s size and composition, including the balance of independence on the Board may be undertaken.
Recommendation 2.5
The independent Chair of the Board is Mr Stephen Dennis, who is also not the Managing Director.
Recommendation 2.6
The Company has an induction program that it uses when new directors join the Board and when new senior executives are appointed.
The goal or the program is to assist new directors to participate fully and actively in Board decision-making at the earliest opportunity
and to assist senior executives to participate fully and actively in management decision-making at the earliest opportunity. The
Company’s Induction Program is disclosed on the Company’s website.
The Board regularly reviews whether the directors as a group have the skills, knowledge and familiarity with the Company and its
operating environment required to fulfil their role on the Board and the Board committees effectively using a Board skills matrix.
Where any gaps are identified, the Board considers what training or development should be undertaken to fill those gaps. In particular,
the Board ensures that any director who does not have specialist accounting skills or knowledge has a sufficient understanding of
accounting matters to fulfil his or her responsibilities in relation to the Company’s financial statements. Directors also receive ongoing
education on developments in accounting standards.
PRINCIPLE 3 – ACT ETHICALLY AND RESPONSIBLY
Recommendation 3.1
The Company has established a Code of Conduct for its directors, senior executives and employees, which are disclosed on the
Company’s website.
30
Rox Resources Annual Report 2019
PRINCIPLE 4 – SAFEGUARD INTEGRITY IN CORPORATE REPORTING
Recommendation 4.1
The Board has not established a separate Audit Committee. Given the current size and composition of the Board, the Board believes
that there would be no efficiencies gained by establishing a separate Audit Committee. Accordingly, the Board performs the role of
Audit and Risk Committee.
Although the Board has not established a separate Audit and Risk Committee, it had adopted an Audit and Risk Committee Charter.
When the Board convenes as the Audit and Risk Committee it carries out those functions which are delegated to it in the Company’s
Audit and Risk Committee Charter. Separate meetings of the full Board in its capacity as the Audit and Risk Committee are held, and
minutes of those meetings are taken. The Board deals with any conflicts of interest that may occur when convening in the capacity of
the Audit and Risk Committee by ensuring that the director with conflicting interests is not party to the relevant discussions.
The Company has also established a Procedure for the Selection, Appointment and Rotation of its External Auditor, which is disclosed
on the Company’s website. The Board is responsible for the initial appointment of the external auditor and the appointment of a new
external auditor when any vacancy arises. Candidates for the position of external auditor must demonstrate complete independence
from the Company through the engagement period. The Board may otherwise select an external auditor based on criteria relevant
to the Company’s business and circumstances. The performance of the external auditor is reviewed on an annual basis by the Board.
Details of director attendance at meetings of the full Board, in its capacity as the Audit and Risk Committee, held during the Reporting
Period, are set out in a table in the Directors’ Report on page 18.
Recommendation 4.2
Before the Board approved the Company financial statements for the half year ended 31 December 2018 and the full-year ended
30 June 2019, it received from the Managing Director and the Finance Director a declaration that, in their opinion, the financial
records of the Company for the relevant financial period have been properly maintained and that the financial statements for the
relevant financial period comply with the appropriate accounting standards and give a true and fair view of the financial position and
performance of the Company and the consolidated entity and that the opinion has been formed on the basis of a sound system of
risk management and internal control which is operating effectively (Declaration).
The Board did not receive a Declaration for each of the quarters ending 30 September 2018, 31 December 2018, 31 March 2019
and 30 June 2019 because in the Board’s view its quarterly reports are not financial statements to which the Declaration can be
appropriately given.
Recommendation 4.3
Under section 250RA of the Corporations Act, the Company’s auditor is required to attend the Company’s annual general meeting
at which the audit report is considered, and must arrange to be represented by a person who is a suitably qualified member of the
audit team that conducted the audit and is in a position to answer questions about the audit. Each year, the Company writes to the
Company’s auditor to inform them of the date of the Company’s annual general meeting. In accordance with section 250S of the
Corporations Act, at the Company’s annual general meeting where the Company’s auditor or their representative is at the meeting,
the Chair allows a reasonable opportunity for the members as a whole at the meeting to ask the auditor (or its representative)
questions relevant to the conduct of the audit; the preparation and content of the auditor’s report; the accounting policies adopted
by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements; and the independence of the auditor in relation to the
conduct of the audit. The Chair also allows a reasonable opportunity for the auditor (or their representative) to answer written
questions submitted to the auditor under section 250PA of the Corporations Act.
A representative of the Company’s auditor, Ernst & Young attended the Company’s annual general meeting held on 29 November 2018.
PRINCIPLE 5 – MAKE TIMELY AND BALANCED DISCLOSURE
Recommendation 5.1
The Company has established written policies and procedures for complying with its continuous disclosure obligations under the
ASX Listing Rules. A summary of the Company’s Policy on Continuous Disclosure and Compliance Procedures are disclosed on the
Company’s website.
31
Corporate Governance
PRINCIPLE 6 – RESPECT THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS
Recommendation 6.1
The Company provides information about itself and its governance to investors via its website at www.roxresources.com.au as set out
in its Shareholder Communication and Investor Relations Policy.
Recommendation 6.2
The Company has designed and implemented an investor relations program to facilitate effective two-way communication with
investors. The program is set out in the Company’s Shareholder Communication and Investor Relations Policy.
Recommendation 6.3
The Company has in place a Shareholder Communication and Investor Relations Policy which outlines the policies and processes that
it has in place to facilitate and encourage participation at meetings of shareholders.
Recommendation 6.4
Shareholders are given the option to receive communications from, and send communications to, the Company and its share registry
electronically. The Company engages its share registry to manage the majority of communications with shareholders. Shareholders
are encouraged to receive correspondence from the Company electronically, thereby facilitating a more effective, efficient and
environmentally friendly communication mechanism with shareholders, Shareholders not already receiving information electronically
can elect to do so through the share registry, Computershare Investor Services Pty Ltd at www.computershare.com.au
PRINCIPLE 7 – RECOGNISE AND MANAGE RISK
Recommendation 7.1
The Board has not established a separate Risk Committee. Given the current size and composition of the Board, the Board believes
that there would be no efficiencies gained by establishing a separate Risk Committee. As noted above, the Board performs the role
of an Audit and Risk Committee. Please refer to the disclosure above under Recommendation 4.1 in relation to the Audit and Risk
Committee.
Recommendation 7.2
The Board reviews the Company’s risk management framework annually to satisfy itself that it continues to be sound, to determine
whether there have been any changes in the material business risks the Company faces and to ensure that the Company is operating
within the risk appetite set by the Board. The Board carried out these reviews during the Reporting Period.
Recommendation 7.3
The Company does not have an internal audit function. To evaluate and continually improve the effectiveness of the Company’s risk
management and internal control processes, the Board relies on ongoing reporting and discussion of the management of material
business risks as outlined in the Company’s Risk Management Policy.
Recommendation 7.4
As the Company is not in production, the Company has not identified any material exposure to any environmental and/or social
sustainability risks. However, the Company does have a material exposure to the following economic risks:
• Market risk – movements in commodity prices. The Company manages its exposure to market risk by monitoring market
conditions, and making decisions based on industry experience.
•
Future capital risk – cost and availability of funds to meet the Company’s business requirements. The Company manages this
risk by maintaining adequate reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows.
The Board has adopted a Risk Management Policy and Risk Management Procedures. Under the Risk Management Policy, the
Board oversees the processed by which risks are managed. This includes defining the Company’s risk appetite, monitoring of risk
performance and those risks that may have a material impact to the business. Management is responsible for the implementation of
the risk management and internal control system to manage the Company’s risk and to report to the Board whether those risks are
being effectively managed.
The Company’s system to manage its material business risks includes the preparation of a risk register by management to identify the
Company’s material business risks, analyse those risks, evaluate those risks (including assigning a risk owner to each risk) and treat
those risks. Risks and their management are to be monitored and reviewed at least annually by senior management. The risk register
is to be updated and a report submitted to the Managing Director. The Managing Director is to provide a risk report at least annually
to the Board.
32
Rox Resources Annual Report 2019
PRINCIPLE 8 – REMUNERATE FAIRLY AND RESPONSIBLY
Recommendation 8.1
The Board has not established a separate Remuneration Committee. Given the current size and composition of the Company, the
Board believes that there would be no efficiencies gained by establishing a separate Remuneration Committee. Accordingly, the
Board performs the role of Remuneration Committee. Although the Board has not established a separate Remuneration Committee,
it has adopted a Remuneration Committee Charter, which describes the role, composition and responsibilities of the full Board in its
capacity as the Remuneration Committee. When the Board convenes as the Remuneration Committee it carries out those functions
which are delegated to it in the Company’s Remuneration Committee Charter. Separate meetings of the full Board in its capacity as
the Remuneration Committee are held, and minutes of those meetings are taken. The Board deals with any conflicts of interest that
may occur when convening in the capacity of the Remuneration Committee by ensuring that the director with conflicting interests is
not party to the relevant discussions.
Details of director attendance at meetings of the full Board, in its capacity as the Remuneration Committee, during the Reporting
Period, are set out in a table in the Directors’ Report on page 18.
Recommendation 8.2
Details of remuneration, including the Company’s policy on remuneration and “clawback policy” regarding the lapsing of performance-
based remuneration in the event of fraud or serious misconduct and the clawback of the performance-based remuneration in the
event of a material misstatement in the Company’s financial statements, are contained in the “Remuneration Report” which forms of
part of the Directors’ Report and commences at page 20 of the Company’s Annual Report for year ended 30 June 2019.
Recommendation 8.3
The Company does not have an Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP), though the Company’s Securities Trading Policy includes a
statement on the Board’s policy that participations in the Company’s equity-based remuneration schemes are prohibited from entering
into transactions (whether through the use of derivatives or otherwise) which limit the economic risk of participating in the scheme.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2019
NOTE 1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
Rox Resources Limited is a for profit company incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Stock
Exchange (ASX). The consolidated financial statements of Rox Resources Limited incorporate Rox Resources Limited (the Parent) as
well as its subsidiaries (collectively, the Group) as outlined in Note 26. The financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June
2019 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 25 September 2019.
The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors Report.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Preparation
The financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the
Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting
Standards Board. The financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial investments that have been
measured at fair value. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars.
As a result of the uncertainties inherent in business and other activities, certain items in a financial report cannot be measured with
precision but can only be estimated. The estimation process involves best estimates based on the latest information available.
Going Concern
This report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the
realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Group has incurred a net loss after tax for the year ended 30 June 2019 of $2,790,816 (2018: $3,239,946) and experienced net cash
outflows from operating activities of $2,947,183 (2018: $3,177,681). At 30 June 2019, the Group had net current assets of $3,640,472
(30 June 2018: $9,487,714).
The Directors believe there are sufficient funds to meet the Group’s committed minimum expenditure requirements and as at the
date of this report the directors believe they can meet all liabilities as and when they fall due. However, the Directors recognise that
additional funding either through the issue of further shares, or convertible notes, or the sale of assets, or a combination of these
activities will be required for the Group to continue to actively explore its mineral properties. The Directors are also aware that that
the Group can relinquish certain projects in order to maintain its cash at appropriate levels.
The Directors have reviewed the business outlook and the assets and liabilities of the Group and are of the opinion that the use of the
going concern basis of accounting is appropriate.
However, if the Group is unable to obtain additional funding, there is significant uncertainty whether the Group will be able to continue
as a going concern and therefore whether it will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due and realise its assets and extinguish
its liabilities in the normal course of business at the amounts stated in the financial report.
The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded asset amounts, nor
the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not be able to continue as a going concern.
(a) Compliance statement
The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued
by the International Accounting Standards Board.
(b) New accounting standards and interpretations
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding reporting period except
for the adoption of the new standards and amendments which became mandatory for the first time this reporting period commencing
1 July 2018. The adoption of these standards and amendments did not result in a material adjustment to the amounts or disclosures
in the current or prior year. The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued
but is not yet effective.

Standard
Summary
AASB 16 Leases
AASB 16 requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance
sheet model in a similar way to finance leases under AASB 117 Leases. The
standard includes two recognition exemptions for lessees – leases of ’low-value’
assets (e.g., personal computers) and short-term leases (i.e., leases with a lease
term of 12 months or less). At the commencement date of a lease, a lessee will
recognise a liability to make lease payments (i.e., the lease liability) and an asset
representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term (i.e., the
right-of-use asset).
Lessees will be required to separately recognise the interest expense on the
lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset.
Lessees will be required to remeasure the lease liability upon the occurrence
of certain events (e.g., a change in the lease term, a change in future lease
payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine
those payments). The lessee will generally recognise the amount of the
remeasurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.
Lessor accounting is substantially unchanged from today’s accounting under
AASB 117. Lessors will continue to classify all leases using the same classification
principle as in AASB 117 and distinguish between two types of leases: operating
and finance leases.
This new standard is not expected to have a material impact on the financial
report when adopted as the Group does not have operating or financial leases.

• AASB 112 Income Taxes - income tax consequences of payments on
financial instruments classified as equity
• AASB 123 Borrowing Costs - borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
This Standards amends AASB 119 Employee Benefits to specify how an entity
accounts for defined benefit plans when a plan amendment, curtailment or
settlement occurs during a reporting period. The amendments:
1 January 2019
• Require entities to use the updated actuarial assumptions to determine
current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the annual
reporting period after such an event occurs
Clarify that when such an event occurs, an entity recognises the past service cost
or a gain or loss on settlement separately from its assessment of the asset ceiling.

Conceptual framework

Conceptual Framework for
Financial Reporting
Amendments to Australia
Accounting Standards – Refer
to Conceptual Framework
The revised Conceptual Framework includes some new concepts, provides
updated definitions and recognition criteria for assets and liabilities and clarifies
some important concepts. It is arranged in eight chapters, as follows:
1 January 2020
» Chapter 1 – The objective of financial reporting
» Chapter 2 – Qualitative characteristics of useful financial information
» Chapter 3 – Financial statements and the reporting entity
» Chapter 4 – The elements of financial statements
» Chapter 5 – Recognition and derecognition
» Chapter 6 – Measurement
» Chapter 7 – Presentation and disclosure
» Chapter 8 – Concepts of capital and capital maintenance
AASB 2019-1 has also been issued, which sets out the amendments to Australian
Accounting Standards, Interpretations and other pronouncements in order to
update references to the revised Conceptual Framework. The changes to the
Conceptual Framework may affect the application of accounting standards in
situations where no standard applies to a particular transaction or event. In
addition, relief has been provided in applying AASB 3 and developing accounting
policies for regulatory account balances using AASB 108, such that entities must
continue to apply the definitions of an asset and a liability (and supporting
concepts) in the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial
Statements (July 2004), and not the definitions in the revised Conceptual
Framework.
(ii) New and Revised standards that are effective for these Financial Statements
From 1 July 2018 the Group had applied, for the first time, AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (AASB 15) and AASB 9
Financial Instruments (AASB 9).
Adoption of AASB 15
AASB 15 and its related amendment supersede AASB 111 Construction Contracts, AASB 118 Revenue and related interpretations
and it applied to all revenue arising from contracts with customers, unless those contracts are in the scope of other standards. The
new standard establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under AASB 15, revenue is
recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods
or services a customer.
The Group adopted AASB 15 with the date of initial application being 1 January 2018. In accordance with the transitional provisions in
AASB 15, the standard has been applied using the full retrospective approach.
It was determined that the adoption of AASB 15 had no impact on the Group as the Group does not have any revenue from contract
with customers.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(b) New accounting standards and interpretations (Continued)
(ii) New and Revised standards that are effective for these Financial Statements (continued)
Adoption of AASB 9
AASB 9 replaces AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (AASB 139) for annual periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2018, bringing together all three aspects of the accounting for financial instruments: classification and measurement;
impairment and hedge accounting.
AASB 9 sets out requirements for recognising and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and some contracts to buy or sell
non-financial items. The Group has adopted AASB 9 retrospectively in accordance with the standard. Changes in accounting polices
resulting from the adoption of AASB 9 did not have a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements on transition
or during the year.
AASB 9 largely retains the existing requirements of AASB 139 for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities, however it
eliminates the previous AASB 139 categories for financial assets held to maturity, loans and receivables and available for sale financial
assets. Under AASB 9, on initial recognition a financial asset is classified as measured at either:
(a) Amortised cost;
(b) Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (“FVOCI”) – debt investment;
(c) FVOCI – equity investment; or
(d) Fair Value through Profit or Loss (“FVTPL”).
The classification of financial assets under AASB 9 is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and
its contractual cash flow characteristics. A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component that
it initially measured at the transaction price) is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not a FVTPL, transaction costs that are
directly attributable to its acquisition. For financial assets measured at amortised cost, these assets are subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses.
Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on recognition is
recognised in profit or loss.
As of 30 June 2019, the Group’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, financial investments and trade
and other payables.
Cash and cash equivalents and other receivables previously designated as receivables under AASB 139 are now classified as amortised
cost under AASB 9. The trade and other payables are designated as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortised cost.
Financial investments are measured at FVTPL and comprise derivative instruments and quoted equity instruments which the Group
has not irrevocably elected, at initial recognition, to classify at FVOCI.
Impairment of financial assets
In relation to the financial assets carried at amortised cost, AASB 9 requires an expected credit loss (“ECL”) model to be applied as
opposed to an incurred credit loss model under AASB 139. The ECL model requires the Group to account for expected credit losses
and changes in those expected credit losses at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the
financial asset. In particular, AASB 9 requires the Group to measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to the lifetime expected
credit loss. If the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group is required to
measure the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to the ECL within the next 12 months.

Impairment of financial assets
As at 1 July 2018, the directors of the Group reviewed and assessed the Group’s existing financial assets for impairment using
reasonable and supportable information. In accordance with AASB 9, where the directors concluded that it would require undue cost
and effort to determine the credit risk of a financial asset on initial recognition, the Group recognises lifetime ECL. The result of the
assessment is as follows:

The change in classification has not resulted in any re-measurement adjustment at 1 July 2018.
(c) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Rox Resources Limited and the subsidiaries it controls (as
outlined in Note 26).
Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the
ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights
results in control. To support this presumption, and when the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an
investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee.
The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more
of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases
when the Group loses control of the subsidiary.
Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated
financial statements from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of the subsidiary to bring their accounting policies in line with
the Group’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions
between members of the Group are eliminated on consolidation.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group
loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, non-controlling interest and other
components of equity while any resultant gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any investment retained is recognised at fair value.
42
Rox Resources Annual Report 2019
for the year ended 30 June 2019
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(d) Summary of significant accounting policies
(i) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows comprise
cash at bank and in hand and deposits that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant
risk of changes in value.
(ii) Deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation costs are written off in the year they are incurred apart from acquisition costs which are carried forward
where right of tenure of the area of interest is current and they are expected to be recouped through sale or successful development
and exploitation of the area of interest or, where exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not reached a stage
that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
Where an area of interest is abandoned or the directors decide that it is not commercial, any accumulated acquisition costs in respect
of that area are written off in the financial period the decision is made. Each area of interest is also reviewed at the end of each
accounting period and accumulated costs written off to the extent that they will not be recoverable in the future.
Amortisation is not charged on costs carried forward in respect of areas of interest in the development phase until production
commences.
(iii) Trade and other payables
Trade payables and other payables are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently carried at amortised costs and represent
liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group
becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.
(iv) Issued capital
Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction, net of tax, of the share
proceeds received.
(v) Income tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid
to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantially enacted
by the balance sheet date.
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities
and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences:
•
•
except where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a
transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor
taxable profit or loss; and
in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interest in joint
operations, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the
temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused
tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and
the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised:
•
•
except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition
of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the
accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss;
in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interest in joint
operations, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse
in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
43
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2019
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(d) Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(v) Income tax (continued)
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become
probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset
is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the
reporting date.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the statement of comprehensive income.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against
current tax liabilities and the preferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
(vi) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost less an allowance for impairment.
(vii) Equipment
All classes of equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the specific asset as follows:
Equipment
Impairment
2019
3-10 years
2018
3-10 years
The carrying values of equipment are reviewed for impairment at each balance date, with recoverable amount being estimated when
events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. For an asset that does not generate largely
independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs, unless the
asset’s value in use can be estimated to be close to its fair value.
An impairment exists when the carrying values of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The
asset or cash-generating unit is then written down to its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount of equipment is the greater of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use,
the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating
unit to which the asset belongs, unless the asset’s value in use can be estimated to be close to its fair value.
Derecognition
Equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of
the asset.
Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying
amount of the item) is included in the Profit or Loss in the period the item is derecognised.

for the year ended 30 June 2019
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(d) Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(viii) Employee benefits
Provision is made for the employee benefits accumulated as a result of employees rendering services up to the reporting date. These
benefits include wages and salaries, annual leave, sick leave and long service leave.
Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and other employee benefits expected to be settled within 12 months
of the reporting date are measured at the nominal amounts based on remuneration rates which are expected to be paid when the
liability is settled. All other employee benefit liabilities are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflow to be
made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. In determining the present value of future cash outflows,
the market yield as at the reporting date on national corporate bonds, which have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the
related liability, are used.
(ix) Revenue recognition
Interest revenue
Interest income is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method, which is the rate that exactly discounts
estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument) to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
(x) Leases
Leases are classified at the inception as either operating or finance leases, based on the economic substance of the agreement so as
to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership.
Operating leases
The minimum lease payments of operating leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of
ownership of the leased item, are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Contingent rentals are
recognised as an expense in the financial year in which they are incurred.
(xi) Goods and service tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
• where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the
GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
•
receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the
Statement of Financial Position.
Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing
and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.
(xii) Earnings/loss per share
Basic earnings/loss per share is calculated by dividing the profit/loss from ordinary activities after related income tax expense by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.
Diluted earnings/loss per share is calculated as net profit/loss attributable to members, adjusted for:
•
•
costs of servicing equity (other than dividends);
the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as
expenses; and
• other discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary
shares;
divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares adjusted for any bonus element.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(xiii) Share based payment transactions
The Group provides benefits to employees (including Directors) of the Group in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees
render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (‘equity-settled transactions’).
The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the shares at the grant date.
In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of
the shares of Rox Resources Limited (‘market conditions’).
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss, together with a corresponding
increase in equity, over the period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant
employees become fully entitled to the award (‘vesting date’).
The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to
which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the Directors of the Company, will ultimately
vest. This opinion is formed based on the best available information at balance sheet date. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of
market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or service conditions have not
been met. Where awards include a market or non-vesting condition, the transactions are treated as vested irrespective of whether the
market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.
Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been
modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any increase in the value of the transactions a result of the modification, as
measured at the date of modification.
Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet
recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and designated
as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were modification of the
original award, as described in the previous paragraph.
The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share.
(xv) Provisions
The Group recognises a liability for long service leave and annual leave measured as the present value of expected future payments to
be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration
is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures, and periods of service. Expected future
payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity and
currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. The Group has classified its long service leave as
current as it is expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of each reporting date as it is unconditional.
(xvi) Interests in Joint Arrangements
Joint arrangements represent the contractual sharing of control between parties in a business venture where unanimous decisions
about relevant activities are required.
Joint operations represent arrangements whereby joint operators maintain direct interests in each assets and exposures to each
liability of the arrangement. The Group’s interests in the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the joint operations are included
in the respective line items of the financial statements. Information about the joint arrangements is set out in Note 25.

NOTE 3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND POLICIES
Overview
This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the below risks, its objectives, policies and processes for
measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital.
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. Management
monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through regular reviews of the risks.
The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
•
•
credit risk
liquidity risk
• market risk
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual
obligations. The Group’s credit risk exposure arises principally from the Group’s receivables, including receivables from related parties,
security deposits and cash and cash equivalents.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Group’s cash and cash equivalents are maintained in banks with credit ratings of AA as per Standard & Poor’s as at year-end.
Trade and other receivables
As the Group operates in the mining exploration sector its receivables generally relate to GST receivable from the Australian Taxation
Authority and the credit risk is assessed similar to other financial instruments under AASB 9 and the credit risk is low
Presently, the Group undertakes exploration and evaluation activities in Australia. At the balance sheet date there were no significant
concentrations of credit risk.
At financial year end the Group has a non-current receivable of $2,652,508 in present value terms resulting from the sale of the Teena
zinc project in 2017 (note 12). This receivable is due from Teck Resources Limited, Canada’s largest diversified mineral company and
as such the risk of non-payment is very low.
Exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets represents the Group’s maximum credit exposure. None of the Group’s trade and
other receivables are past due (2018: nil). At 30 June 2019 the Group does not have any collective impairment on its other receivables
(2018: nil).
Guarantees
At the date of this report there are no outstanding guarantees (2018: nil).
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to
managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both
normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows.
The Group’s liquidity risk arises from trade and other payables.
Trade and other payables maturing profiles as follows:
Less than 6 months
6 months to 1 year
Later than 1 year but not later than 5 years
Over 5 years

NOTE 3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the
Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and
control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
Currency risk
The Group considers that its exposure to currency risk is minimal and has not developed any policies or procedures to manage
such risk.
The Group has not entered into any derivative financial instruments to hedge such transactions and anticipated future receipts or
payments that are denominated in a foreign currency.
Exposure to currency risk
The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at reporting date was nil (2018: nil).
Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk. The Group considers that its exposure to interest risk is minimal, however it has a policy of
monitoring interest rates offered by competing financial institutions to ensure it is aware of market trends and it receives competitive
interest rates.
Profile
At the reporting date the Group’s only exposure to interest rate risk is related to the balance of its cash and cash equivalents. The
following table represents the Group’s exposure to interest rate risk:
Variable rate instruments
Cash and cash equivalents
Carrying amount
2019
$
2018
$
3,912,742
10,378,334
A change of 1% (2018: 1%) in variable interest rates would have increased or decreased the Group’s equity and profit by $39,127 (2018:
$103,783) and would have had the same effect on cash. The 1% sensitivity is based on reasonable possible movements over a financial
year, after observation of a range of actual historical rate movement over the past five years.
Capital Management
When managing capital, managements objective is to ensure the Group continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal
returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Management also aims to maintain a capital structure that ensures the
lowest cost of capital available to the Group.
The Group will raise equity through the issue of shares from time to time as the board sees fit to ensure it meets its objective of
continuing as a going concern. The Group does not have any borrowings and has no current plans to obtain any debt facilities; as a
result, the Group’s total capital is defined as shareholders’ equity, and at 30 June stood at:
Equity
The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

NOTE 3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Fair Values
At the end of the current and prior year the net fair value of assets and liabilities approximates their carrying value because of their
short term to maturity.
The fair value hierarchies comprise:
Level 1 – the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets.
Level 2 – the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset
or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).
Level 3 – the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
NOTE 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets,
liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements and estimates on historical experience and
on various factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which form the basis of the carrying values of
assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Management has identified the following critical accounting policies for which significant judgements, estimates and assumptions are
made. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and may materially affect financial
results or the financial position reported in future periods.
Further details of the nature of these assumptions and conditions may be found in the relevant notes to the financial statements.
Exploration and Evaluation
The Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation is set out in Note 2(c) to the accounts. The application of this policy
necessarily requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances, in particular, the
assessment of whether economic quantities of reserves have been found. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new
information becomes available. If, after having capitalised expenditure under our policy, management conclude that they are unlikely
to recover the expenditure by future exploitation or sale, then the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to the Consolidated
Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Share options
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at
the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using the binominal formula. For options issued in this financial year,
the assumptions detailed as per Note 19 were used.
NOTE 5. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Identification of Reportable Segments
Operating segments that meet the quantitative criteria of AASB 8 are reported separately. However, an operating segment that does
not meet the quantitative criteria is still reported separately where information about the segment would be useful to the users of the
financial statements.
The Group operates within the mineral exploration industry within Australia.
The Group determines its operating segments by reference to internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors
(the chief operating decision maker) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. The Board of Directors
currently receive Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income information
that is prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2019
NOTE 5. SEGMENT INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Identification of Reportable Segments (continued)
The Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income information received by
the Board of Directors does not include any information by segment. The executive team manages each exploration activity of each
exploration concession through review and approval of statutory expenditure requirements and other operational information. Based
on this criterion, the Group has only one operating segment, being exploration, and the segment operations and results are the same
as the Group results.

Potential future income tax benefits attributable to gross tax losses of $25,113,196 (2018: $23,222,814) carried forward have not been
brought to account at 30 June 2019 because the Directors do not believe it is appropriate to regard realisation of the future tax benefit
as probable. These benefits will only be obtained if:
(i)
the Group derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the losses
and deductions to be released;
(ii)
the Group continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the law; and
(iii) no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Group in realising the benefit from the deductions for the losses
Tax losses carried forward have no expiry date.

(i) Employee Share Incentive Scheme
An Employee Share Scheme (ESS) has been established where Rox Resources Limited may, at the discretion of Directors, grant options
over the ordinary shares of Rox Resources Limited to Directors, executives and employees of the Company. The plan is designed to
provide long-term incentives for employees and to deliver long term shareholder returns. Participation in the plan is at the Board’s
discretion and no individual has a contractual right to participate in the plan or to receive guaranteed benefits. In addition, under the
Plan, the Board determines the terms of the options including exercise price, expiry date and vesting conditions, if any.
Options granted under the plan are unlisted and carry no dividend or voting rights. When exercised, each option is convertible into an
ordinary share of the Company with full dividend and voting rights.
No options were issued during the year (2018: 4,250,000) and there are no other options on issue that have been issued under
the plan.
Set out below is a summary of options issued.

B. Unrelated Parties
Currans Find Gold Project
The Group acquired a 45% interest in the Currans Find Gold Project during the year ended 30 June 2019. This transaction has been
accounted for as an asset acquisition. The consideration paid was settled via payment of $75,000 cash and the issue of 7,500,000 fully
paid ordinary shares in the Company during the year ended 30 June 2019.
Youanmi Gold Project
During the year, the Group acquired a 50% interest in the Youanmi Gold Project. Consideration paid was $2,800,000 in cash and the
issue of 25,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company.
In accordance with AASB 2 Share Based Payments, there is a rebuttable presumption that the fair value of goods or services received
can be estimated reliably for transactions with parties other than employees. This presumption has been rebutted given that the
fair value of the underlying assets (being exploration and evaluation assets) could not be reliably measured. Accordingly, the assets
acquired have been recorded based on the fair value of the shares issued, calculated at the closing share price on the date of issue.
There were no other options issued to unrelated parties during the 2018 or 2019 financial years.

On 21 August 2019 the Group announced it had entered into a binding terms sheet with Cullen Exploration Pty Ltd (a subsidiary of
Cullen Resources Limited) which allows Rox to earn up to a 75% interest in Cullen’s Mt Eureka Nickel and Gold Project. The Project is
located in the Northern Goldfields, about 600km northeast of Kalgoorlie (about 120km east of Wiluna) and immediately to the north of
Rox Resources’ Mt Fisher Gold and Fisher East Nickel Projects.
Key terms of the agreement are as follows:
• Rox may earn a 51% interest by spending $1m on exploration expenditure within a three-year period from satisfaction of certain
Conditions Precedent (Stage 1 Earn In).
• Cullen will receive $40,000 cash upon satisfaction of one of the Conditions Precedent.
•
If Rox earns the 51% interest, it can elect to earn a further 24% interest by expending a further $1m on exploration expenditure
over a three-year period, commencing at the end of the Stage 1 Earn In.
• Rox must spend a minimum of $333,334 and ensure the Cullen tenements are in good standing on a daily pro rata basis before
it may withdraw.
• Upon Rox earning 51% or, if it earns the additional 24%, upon Rox earning 75%, the parties will be associated in an unincorporated
Joint Venture in relation to the Joint Venture Tenements, which will include certain Rox tenements and applications.
•
•
•
If Rox earns 75%, Cullen will be free-carried, with no liability for any Joint Venture costs, until completion of a Pre-Feasibility
Study.
If Rox only earns 51%, or earns 75% and completes a Pre-Feasibility Study, thereafter Cullen must contribute to Joint Venture
costs pro-rata, or dilute under a standard dilution formula.
If a Participant’s interest falls to 10% or less, that Participant’s interest will be converted to a Net Smelter Return Royalty of 1%
on those Cullen tenements already subject to a royalty and 2.5% on the balance of the Joint Venture Tenements.
On 26 September the Company completed a share placement to institutional and sophisticated investors to raise $4.0 million (before
costs) through the issue of 166,666,667 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.024 per share.
No other matter or circumstance has arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect
the operations of the Group, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Group in subsequent financial periods.
