Rockgate Capital Corp. (TSX VENTURE:RGT) (the "Company") announces that the Company has received notification from joint venture partner Delta Explorations Corp. ("Delta") that the $1.5 million requirement to earn an undivided 60% interest in the Falea project has been met and surpassed. As a result, Rockgate has assumed operator status for the Falea project effective July 1, 2007.
Rockgate's Vice President, Exploration Lorne Warner has been at Falea since mid June and reported from the site that phase 2 diamond drilling is nearing completion with total number of holes completed to date at 33 for approximately 9,900 metres. All these holes were spaced on 100 metre centres, covering an area of approximately 3.3 km sq. Only 2 holes remain to complete this phase. All samples up to hole DF-025 have been submitted to ALS-Chemex for preparation in Bamako, Mali with analysis to be completed in Vancouver, Canada. The drilling program successfully defined potentially significant uranium mineralization trending over 800 metres with widths ranging from 100 to 250 metres, usually contained in coarse sandstones just above the basin unconformity with the height of mineralization typically exceeding 2.0 metres. All holes within this area contain significant scintillometre readings and the zone remains open in three directions. Several other uranium bearing zones occur on the property and will be evaluated through diamond drilling.
Mr. Lorne Warner, P. Geo, Director and VP Exploration is the Qualified Person for this release under NI 43-101.
