Youanmi Deeps Resource Upgrade Lifts Total Youanmi Resource to 3 Moz Au

West Australian focused gold exploration and development company, Rox Resources Limited (“Rox” or “the Company”) (ASX:RXL), in conjunction with its joint venture partner Venus Metals Corporation Limited (ASX: VMC) is pleased to report a significant increase to the Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) for the Youanmi Gold Project near Mt Magnet, WA.


Highlights:

     
  • Youanmi Total Mineral Resource increased by 1.34 Moz Au to 3 Moz Au.
  • Drilling results to the end of October 2021 included in this current resource update to deliver a 156% increase in the Deeps Resource contained gold.
  • Youanmi Deeps very high-grade material increases following seven months of intensive infill and extensional diamond drilling for around 35,000 metres, as well as defining new areas such as Link, Junction, and mineralisation-parallel hanging-wall lodes.
  • The Youanmi surface resource was not updated in this estimation round with further updates pending.
  • All in exploration costs for the project indicate a $7 per ounce discovery cost – an exceptional result.
  • Significant increase in Au metal ounces per vertical metre paves the way for expected robust conceptual economics, particularly with the recent determination of the Albion process as the preferred method for sulphide ore bodies at Youanmi (92.2% average gold extraction for underground). *

Drilling and exploration work at the Youanmi Gold Project in the OYG JV area (Rox 70% and Manager, VMC 30%) has yielded substantial increases in known and defined tonnages and ounces since the acquisition and commencement of drilling in mid-2019.

Rox has used in-house expertise to complete the Youanmi Deeps Resource update (Report Youanmi Deeps Mineral Resource Estimate January 2022 – refer Table 1) and engaged CSA Global (who completed the previous update in June 2021) to conduct independent checks of the modelling process. The previous resource for Youanmi Deeps and Near Surface was published in June 2021 (ASX announcement 23rd June 2021).

Bert Dohmen: Gold, Silver Key as Stock Market Bull Trap Looms

Bert Dohmen, founder and CEO of Dohmen Capital Research, sees physical gold and silver as key safe havens as a potential bull trap in the broad stock market plays out.

"We said we're probably going to go to a new high in a major, widely watched index like the S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX). It's going to be by a small amount a new high, and that's going to close the bull trap," he said.

Top 5 ASX Gold Stocks of 2025

Gold continued to perform well through the second quarter of 2025, reaching a new all-time high of AU$5,425 per ounce on April 22.

The price surge has occurred amid volatile equity and financial markets since the start of the year, driven by concerns over a global trade war and escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

The rising gold price has also been supported by uncertainty over a looming debt crisis in the United States. Some investors have turned away from dollar-denominated haven assets, such as US Treasuries, in favour of precious metals like gold.
