• Orebody crosscut in the 2341mRL level access
• Underground mining at United North progressing to plan, with over 1,200m completed to date
• Infill drilling at United North identifies additional high-grade ounces outside of DFS mine plan

Rox Resources Limited (ASX: RXL) has provided an update on its 100%-owned Youanmi Gold Project in Western Australia. Key highlights include the successful crosscutting of the orebody at the 2341mRL level, with the mapped placement of the mineralised shear zone contacts matching the interpretation of the United North DFS ore lode. This confirms the anticipation that the mineralised shear will be visibly distinct and operationally controllable, allowing for efficient economic protocols to be implemented during mining development and stoping operations. Underground mining at United North is also progressing to plan, with over 1,200m completed to date. Surface resource infill drilling at United North has intersected significant high-grade gold mineralisation, including 5m @ 14.15g/t Au, 15m @ 3.63g/t Au, 7m @ 6.29g/t Au, and 4m @ 4.41g/t Au. These results have de-risked the initial production fronts scheduled for late 2026 and indicate substantial potential to increase production with additional levels and stopes from the initial mine plan. Dewatering of the Main Pit is also progressing well, with the historic Main Decline now exposed. Construction of site infrastructure, including camp expansions and mining office and changeroom facilities, is also advancing rapidly.

Rox's indicative pathway to production remains on track, with key next steps including detailed mine planning and scheduling, review and award of contracts for further long lead items, continued definition of near-mine and regional targets, completion of dewatering the Main Pit, and continued development of the United North exploration decline.
