ROMANG INTERSECTS RICHEST
POLYMETALLIC BASE / PRECIOUS METAL
ZONE TO DATE ON ROMANG ISLAND
? 21.1% combined base metals (Pb 12.3% + Zn 7.7% + Cu 1.1%) with 1.27 g/t Au and 58
g/t Ag intersected at Batu Hitam prospect (LWD085)
? Hole LWD085 mineralised for entire length of 188 metres
? First drillhole to be guided by geophysics intersects massive sulphide mineralisation
? assays awaited (LWD093)
? Interim geophysics results (80% complete) confirms continuity of precious and base
metal mineralisation between Batu Mas and Batu Hitam (over 2 kilometre strike
length) and outlines extensive new target zones
? Additional two diamond drill rigs acquired to progress resource delineation work at
Lakuwahi project
? Exploration programme advances in north Romang Solath project with IP Resistivity
survey to commence later this month and drilling scheduled for December 2010
Robust Resources Limited (?Robust? or ?the Company?) is pleased to report significant progress on the
delineation of the Batu Mas and Batu Hitam discoveries on Romang Island, Indonesia. Initial results from a
major 3D IP-Resistivity survey over the flagship Lakuwahi target, as well as new drilling results,
significantly extends the discovery target zones and therefore the gold and base metal resource potential.
Managing Director Gary Lewis comments: ?Technical work on Romang Island has reached a crucial stage
with the completion of the initial 3D IP-Resistivity survey only days away. While we would normally await
assay results prior to releasing drilling information, in the case of hole LWD093 at Batu Hitam, we have
made an exception. This hole was the first to be guided by our recent resistivity results and it has
intersected visually impressive massive sulphide mineralisation. This result is a particularly gratifying,
strong confirmation of the efficacy of our current exploration methods and the approach of our technical
team. It lends further legitimacy to the potential of the extensive geophysical anomalies being produced by
the IP-resistivity survey.
?The high grade assay results from LWD085 are also very encouraging as this hole expands the known
mineralisation at Batu Hitam beneath the limestone cover and is also consistent with the new geophysical
model. The gold and silver bearing massive sulphides are the highest grade yet to be assayed in our 2-
year long exploration drilling campaign.
?The IP-Resistivity model is still being compiled and interpreted, but the interim results announced here
are significant. In particular the large anomaly to the south of Batu Hitam, as well as more subtle
anomalies associated with the strong geological and geochemical indicators at Batu Perak (to the west of
Batu Hitam) and Batu Hitam North, indicates plenty of scope to continue the achievement of positive
drilling results.
?The IP-resistivity work undertaken to date, has already demonstrated its effectiveness and it is now clear
that a number of the anomalies identified by the initial survey are not closed off. As a result, planning is
underway for an extension of the survey, which will commence immediately upon the completion of the
Romang North IP-resistivity grid.
?Robust now has four diamond drill rigs operating on Romang with a further two drills purchased and on
their way to the Island. These machines are dedicated to our stated dual aims of exploration discovery and
the delivery of a maiden JORC mineral resource from the Lakuwahi project.?
Drilling
Robust is also pleased to announce recently received assay results from drilling on the Batu Hitam
prospect on Romang Island. Hole LWD085 was drilled under limestone cover in the northeast corner of
the Batu Hitam prospect (see Figure 2 over leaf). This hole was mineralised for its entire 188m length,
averaging over 1% combined zinc (Zn) + lead (Pb) + copper (Cu). Within this broad zone, LWD085
intersected a number of richer zones of mineralisation including the highest grade base metals (21.1%
combined Pb + Zn + Cu) drilled at Lakuwahi over economically significant widths. Notably, the base metals
mineralisation also contained elevated gold (1.27 g/t) and silver (58 g/t).
A summary of the results from hole LWD085 is found below and more details can be located in Table 1.
? 188m at 1.1% combined Cu + Pb + Zn from surface including:
o 7m at 6.1% combined base metals from 22 metres; and
o 13m at 2.1% combined base metals from 78 metres; and
o 3m at 21.1% combined base metals (Pb 12.3% + Zn 7.7% + Cu 1.1%) with 1.27 g/t Au and
58 g/t Ag from 133m
Drill hole LWD093 was the first hole to be drilled using specific guidance from the new 3D IP - Resistivity
modelling. Although assays are yet to be received from the laboratory, geological logging of the hole has
registered a six-metre zone of massive sulphide mineralisation. Visual inspection of the core shows
coarse-grained sulphide mineralisation rich in zinc, lead and copper (Figure 1). This massive sulphide
zone is part of a more extensive zone of mineralisation in this hole.
