Drilling pulled up 28m at 34.81g/t gold from 204m in a largely untested area outside the current 3.2Moz resource at the Rox Resources (ASX:RXL) – Venus Metals (ASX:VMC) Youanmi project JV in WA.

That includes a 10m section grading 79.55g/t from 211m.

RXL managing director Rob Ryan says the result from the first hole at ‘Youanmi South’ opens a new near-mine area for exploration and potential high-grade resource growth.
