BALLA BALLA ORE RESERVES INCREASE BY 49 PERCENT

Pilbara iron ore developer Aurox Resources Limited (ASX: AXO) is pleased to announce it has increased the JORC compliant Ore Reserve Estimate at Balla Balla by 49 percent to 155 million tonnes.

As announced 29 April 2008, the Mineral Resources for the Central Pit and the Eastern Block deposits were re-estimated by Golder & Associates Pty Ltd (?Golder?) to include new infill and extension

drilling undertaken between October and December 2007.

The updated resource models were delivered to Orelogy Pty Ltd for economic optimisation and calculation of new JORC compliant Ore Reserve estimates for these areas. The new Central Pit and

Eastern Block areas are now contained within a single pit design and their reserve numbers reported together. The new ?Central-East? Ore Reserves were added to the Western Pit Ore Reserve estimate to

increase the total reserves from 103 to 155 million tonnes grading 45% Fe and 0.64% V2O5.

The new Ore Reserve Statement set out by deposit is shown in Table 1 below.

Golder is now remodelling the Western Pit area to include infill and extension drilling completed between January and May of this year. This work will include the results from six deep diamond holes received last month which demonstrate the strong geologic continuity of the deposit. See figure 2 below.

Managing Director Charles Schaus stated that ?the Ore Reserve at Balla Balla will continue to grow this year, with these latest results representing only about one third of the deposit?s full reserve potential.?

A map displaying the location of the various Balla Balla deposit areas is shown as figure 2 below.
