Robust updates Romang gold project drilling results

(February 01, 2011)--Robust Resources Limited is pleased to announce results of recently completed assays from three holes in the mineralised corridor between the Batu Mas and Batu Hitam prospects on Romang Island, Indonesia. All three holes intersected significant widths of near surface gold-silver mineralisation and underlying polymetallic sulphide mineralisation. The Company believes that these latest results further confirm that significant mineralisation occurs in the 1.5 kilometre-long zone between the two main Lakuwahi targets drilled to date.

The details of the intersections are as follows:

Near Surface Gold and Silver Mineralisation
LWD100: 33m @ 1.83 g/t Au Equivalent (1.16 g/t Au and 40 g/t Ag) from 8m; including
3m @ 4.08 g/t Au Equivalent (1.81 g/t Au and 137 g/t Ag) from 9m; and
2.2m @7.19 g/t Au Equivalent (5.86 g/t Au and 80 g/t Ag) from 23.3m; and
2.2m @3.44 g/t Au Equivalent (3.05 g/t Au and 24 g/t Ag) from 37m
LWD103: 17m @ 1.81 g/t Au Equivalent (1.10 g/t Au and 43 g/t Ag) from 5m
LWD109: 19m @1.70 g/t Au Equivalent (1.15 g/t Au and 33 g/t Ag) from 1m

Polymetallic Sulphide Mineralisation
LWD100: 66.8m @ 1.17% Cu Equivalent (0.31 g/t Au, 11 g/t Ag, 0.16% Cu, 1.15% Pb, 1.50% Zn) from 39.2m,
Including
5m @ 3.58% Cu Equivalent (0.45 g/t Au, 30 g/t Ag, 0.72% Cu, 3.58% Pb, 4.71% Zn) from 48m; and 18m @ 2.03% Cu Equivalent (0.46 g/t Au, 14 g/t Ag, 0.18% Cu, 2.01% Pb, 3.19% Zn) from 85m
LWD103: 13m at 1.78% Cu Equivalent (0.24 g/t Au, 10 g/t Ag, 0.46% Cu, 1.78% Pb, 2.11% Zn) from 76m; including
3m at 5.16% Cu Equivalent (0.26 g/t Au, 27 g/t Ag, 1.52% Cu, 5.22% Pb, 6.20% Zn) from 86m
LWD109: 7m at 2.17% Cu Equivalent (0.56 g/t Au, 25 g/t Ag, 0.55% Cu, 2.47% Pb, 1.40% Zn) from 25m; including
3m at 4.01% Cu Equivalent (1 .06 g/t Au, 48 g/t Ag, 0.72% Cu, 5.13% Pb, 2.98% Zn) from 25m
4m at 1.08% Cu Equivalent (0.36 g/t Au, 8 g/t Ag, 0.17% Cu, 0.80% Pb, 1.50% Zn) from 66m

The mostly oxidised precious metals occur at or very near surface and are underlain by the breccias containing the polymetallic sulphides (copper, lead, zinc, gold and silver). The mineralisation is hosted in veins and crackle breccia and higher-grade zones are commonly associated with more intense silicification of the host rocks.

Managing Director Gary Lewis comments: ?We have long suspected that the precious metal and polymetallic mineralisation that we have been drilling at Batu Mas and Batu Hitam should continue in the 1.5 kilometre zone between the two prospects. Both of these prospects and the intervening targets exist within the large and highly prospective Lakuwahi 6 x 4 kilometre mineralised volcanic edifice.

Convincing evidence of the continuity of mineralisation was obtained from the geophysical surveys completed late 2010 and I am now very gratified to release these strong and remarkably consistent drilling results, which further confirm our exploration concepts. These latest results open up the prospective corridor between Batu Mas and Batu Hitam for further discoveries, and the zone remains one of the high priority targets of our continuous drilling campaign.

I am very pleased to commence our 2011 year with such an important result.? (end of edited excerpt)
