Rockcliff Purchases Lucky Jack Gold Property, Manitoba

Toronto, Ontario (FSCwire) - Rockcliff Metals Corp. (“Rockcliff” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: RCLF) (FRANKFURT: RO0, WKN: A2H60G) is pleased to announce that the Company, through its 100% owned subsidiary, Goldpath Resources Corp., has purchased a 100% interest in the Lucky Jack Gold Property, located in the historic Wekusko-Herb Lake gold camp in Snow Lake, Manitoba.  The Lucky Jack Gold Property totals 15 mining claims covering 2,557 hectares and is located immediately south of the Company’s Laguna Gold Property which hosts the former producing Laguna Gold Mine, Manitoba’s first and highest-grade gold mine. The Lucky Jack Gold Property becomes part of the Company’s Manitoba property portfolio, one of the highest-grade base and precious metals property portfolios in North America. The Company’s property portfolio is in the Snow Lake mining camp located within the prolific Flin Flon-Snow Lake greenstone belt hosting high-grade precious and base metal deposits and mines.

Ken Lapierre President & CEO stated “While we remain focused on advancing our high grade Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide deposits and are presently drilling the high-grade Bur Zinc Deposit, the opportunity to grow our gold portfolio adjacent to the high-grade Laguna Gold Property was opportunistic and now strengthens our growing gold assets in the camp.  The Lucky Jack Gold Property has superior gold potential within the historic Wekusko-Herb Lake gold camp, excellent infrastructure and complements our existing gold assets. We look forward to exploring and advancing our geological understanding and gold potential at the Lucky Jack Gold Property next year.”

Lucky Jack Gold Property Highlights

At the Lucky Jack Gold Property, gold mineralization is hosted in foliated and fractured zones and sulphide bearing quartz veins and stringers located near the contact of granite, granodiorite and pegmatite rocks with the surrounding volcanic, intrusive and sedimentary rocks. Geophysical evidence suggests that gold mineralization is associated along the contacts of multi-kilometre long magnetometer anomalies and that at least 6 magnetometer anomalies have been identified within the Lucky Jack Gold Property.

Limited historical work has been completed at the Lucky Jack Property.  A main shaft was sunk in 1924 on a quartz vein system 1,000 metres long and up 15 to 25 metres wide, as documented by the Mineral Inventory of Manitoba (J.D. Bamburak-1980). A total of 21 grab samples from the main shaft area were reported to have averaged 66.0 grams per tonne(g/t) gold.  In 1982, channel samples completed by Cangold Ltd. near the main shaft assayed from 11.0 gpt across 0.4 metres to 44.2 g/t gold across 1.4 metres and gold values were recorded over a strike length of 130 metres.  In 1988, drilling completed by Granges Exploration Ltd. around the main shaft area intersected significant gold assays including in Hole # BAR-3 of 8.9 g/t across 1.0 metres, 15.9 g/t across 1.0 metres, 19.6 g/t across 0.5 metres and 32.5 g/t across 0.5 metres above 75 metres vertical.   In 1985, one drill hole (KUS169) completed by HudBay Minerals Inc. on a separate gold-rich system 1.7 kilometres west of the main shaft intersected gold values above 75 metres vertical of 5.6 g/t across 0.3 metres, 11.5 g/t across 0.46 metres and 58.5 g/t across 0.40 metres.  A third area of gold potential 5.5 kilometres northwest of the main shaft intersected a gossan-rich zone 5 to 10 metres wide with samples up to 20.6 g/t gold.
