The Mt Fisher-Mt Eureka Project is located in the Northern Goldfields, about 500km northeast of Kalgoorlie (about 120km east of Wiluna) within the underexplored Mt Eureka greenstone belt. This belt is located 40km east of the prolific Yandal greenstone belt, host of significant gold deposits including Jundee, Bronzewing and Mt McClure.
Rox holds 850km² of the Mt Eureka greenstone belt and surrounding prospective zones (Rox 100% 500km²) and via the Cullen Resources JV, 350km² (Rox currently earning up to 75%, Cullen Resources Limited 25%).
Following the demerger of the Fisher East Nickel Project Rox has renewed its focus on gold exploration in the belt.
Rox has undertaken an extensive project scale review and has planned immediate work to advance the project.
A 7,000m aircore drilling program is currently underway targeting orogenic gold mineralisation and VMS style mineralisation over recently defined key target areas on Rox 100% own tenements.
