Rox Resources Secures Additional Fuel Capacity at Western Australia Gold Project

-- Rox Resources (ASX:RXL) said additional fuel storage capacity at its Youanmi gold project in Western Australia has been secured, increasing to over 430,000 liters in mid-April from 190,000 liters in March, and an additional fuel supply contract has been entered into, in the wake of the conflict in the Middle East, according to a Friday Australian bourse filing.

Fuel saving initiatives were identified, which will be implemented should there be any impact on fuel supply, it added.

Underground development rates at the United North pit at the project are on schedule, with around 726 meters of advance completed in the quarter to March 31, bringing the total advance to 1,013 meters.

Market Chatter: BOJ's Ueda Warns Energy Shock Complicates Policy, Avoids Rate Signals Ahead of April Meeting

Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda said the rising energy prices have created a significant shock, making policy responses very challenging, Bloomberg News reported on Friday.Speaking to reporters in Washington after a G20 finance meeting, Ueda highlighted the difficulty of balancing upside risks to prices against downside risks to the economy from the Middle East conflict, the news wire said.Unlike before the previous two rate hikes, when Ueda sent clear hints to prepare the market, he stopped short of giving a clear signal on interest rates ahead of the board's April 28 decision, the publication said.The governor said the bank would ultimately choose the most appropriate response to achieve its 2% inflation target, depending on factors such as the shock's duration, the report said.His carefully balanced remarks came just before the board releases updated forecasts expected to raise inflation projections while possibly lowering growth estimates, it added.(Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.
