Significant Drill Intercepts At the Tower Deposit

SUDBURY, ON - Rockcliff Metals Corporation reported that additional drilling completed at its 100% owned Tower Property has expanded the Tower Deposit mineralization along strike and at depth. Management has determined that it is appropriate that this additional mineralization be added to the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) currently being prepared by the Company and its independent consultants. The Tower Deposit's mineralization strike length has increased to approximately 1,000 meters and has been intersected to depths of approximately 800 meters.

These latest drill results in the deep part of the Tower Deposit appear to add depth and strike length, therefore Rockcliff will complete an updated Mineral Resource model as part of its PEA work. Management is using these new drill hole results to gain further geotechnical knowledge including rock quality characteristics and structural data for the Tower Deposit. This drill program will provide additional and more representative rockmass data for use in the PEA's engineering design for the ground support requirements and the stope designs. The new drill data should support the PEA assumptions for the rate of advance in development headings, the stope dilution and recovery and the host rock behavior, especially in the crown pillars.

Alistair Ross, President and CEO, said, "It is fortunate for us to be able to incorporate, mid-stream, this new drill data into our PEA. Although this extends the date for publishing our PEA, it allows us to maintain our promise to deliver a high quality study to the market. The PEA results are anticipated to be known before the end of the year. I believe that when the PEA has been finalized, our shareholders will appreciate the level of confidence they can place in the study results."

Drilling at the TGR NI-PGE Prospect and surrounding area totaled 1,452 m in 4 holes. No significant observable mineralization was noted in the drill holes. Samples have been sent to the lab for nickel and PGE analysis. Additional exploration included geophysical probing of all drill holes where induction surveys identified additional anomalous areas for drill testing. A compilation study from the drill program is ongoing and will aid in understanding what additional exploration is required.
