Rockcliff Intersects High-Grade Copper Below the Rail Deposit, Drill Program Increased to 15,000 Metres
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 18, 2019) - Rockcliff Metals Corporation (CSE: RCLF) (FSE: RO0A) (WKN: A2H60G) ("Rockcliff" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that new drill core assay results have extended high-grade mineralization below the existing 100% owned NI 43-101 Indicated resource Rail deposit, located in Snow Lake, Manitoba. The Rail property drill program has now been increased to 15,000 metres from its original 10,000-metres. The increase in drill metres is the result of positive assay results (tabled below) which has extended copper mineralization below the Rail deposit from 200 metres vertical to 500 metres vertical. Additional drilling will also focus along strike of the Rail deposit where several nearby priority-one geophysical anomalies have been identified which could represent additional copper-bearing mineralization.
The Company has received assay results from the first five drill holes (see table below). All holes intersected high-grade Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide ("VMS") mineralization below the Rail deposit.The results for drill holes RL19-062 and RL19-064 were released on September 26, 2019.

(m) = metres represent down the hole thickness as true thicknesses are not currently known, g/t = grams per tonne. *CuEq = copper equivalent value used: US$3.00/pound copper, US$1300/ troy ounce gold, US$1.15/pound zinc and US$20 /per ounce silver. 100% metal recoveries were applied. *CuEq = Cu grade (%) + [Zn grade (%) X Zn price per lb / Cu price per pound] + [Au grade (g/t) X Au price per gram / Cu price per tonne X 100] + [Ag grade (g/t) X Ag price per gram / Cu price per tonne X 100].
Rockcliff's President and CEO Alistair Ross commented: "Drill results to date have extended high grade copper mineralization below the existing Rail deposit to 500 metres vertical. With two drills operating around the clock and a total of 15,000 metres now budgeted, we look forward to determining the limits of this extensive copper bearing system on the Rail property."
