JORC COMPLIANT RESOURCE ESTIMATE,
ROMANG ISLAND UPDATE

Robust Resources Limited (‘Robust’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to announce that a JORC
compliant mineral resource estimate (JORC resource estimate) for the Lakuwahi Project on
Romang Island, Indonesia is being undertaken by independent consultants, Micromine
Consulting Services (MCS) (http://www.micromine.com/consulting-services) of Perth, WA. This
estimate is being conducted within a compressed timescale due to delays caused by a method
change for the assaying of lead (Pb) samples at the Company’s laboratory in Jakarta. The Pb
QA/QC checks have been completed to the Company’s satisfaction and the resource estimation
process has been underway since early December.
Robust have received the draft resource estimate from MCS and the global resource numbers
meet the Company’s expectations. MCS have advised that final QA/QC analysis is in progress,
which will allow for the final classification and completion of the JORC resource estimate in
approximately one week.
The timeline described above means that the company will miss, by a few days, its internal
deadline for the completion of an independent JORC resource estimate before the end of 2011.
The company anticipates publicly releasing the JORC resource estimate in early January, 2012.
Robust's Managing Director Gary Lewis commented: "While this minor delay is frustrating we
need to ensure that our maiden JORC resource estimate is completed to both the Company's and
MCS’ satisfaction.
"This maiden JORC resource estimate is an important milestone for Robust and we look forward
to updating shareholders at the first opportunity in the next week or so."
