Rockcliff Metals Corp C.RCLF

Rockcliff Metals Corporation is a Canada-based exploration and resource company. The Company is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in Manitoba, Canada. Its projects include Tower Property, Rail Property, Bur Property and Talbot Property. Tower property hosts the tower deposit, a polymetallic copper (zinc-gold-silver)-rich volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposit. Tower Property is in the Flin Flon-Snow Lake district of west central Manitoba approximately 500 Kilometers(kms) northwest of the city of Winnipeg and 50km southwest of the town of Snow Lake. Rail property is engaged in polymetallic copper (zinc-gold-silver) rich VMS deposit. The Rail Property is in the Flin Flon-Snow Lake district of western Manitoba, approximately 700 km north-northwest of the City of Winnipeg. Bur Zone Project is located approximately 145 km east-northeast of Flin Flon, Manitoba. Talbot Deposit is hosted in Paleoproterozoic rocks of the Trans-Hudson Orogen (THO).

Hudbay's Lalor Mine...

Hudbay's Lalor Mine...Referring to the Hudbay Lalor Technical report, starting on page 7-8 (78 pdf):

https://www.miningdataonline.com/reports/Lalor_TechnicalReport_03012017.pdf

"...The Lalor VMS deposit is flat lying, with zinc mineralization beginning at approximately 600 m from surface and extending to a depth of approximately 1,100 m. The mineralization trends about 320° to340° azimuth and dips between 30° and 45° to the north. It has a lateral extent of about 900 m in the north-south direction and 700 m in the east-west direction..."

"...Seven distinct stacked zinc rich mineralized zones have been interpreted within the Lalor deposit..."

"...Footwall gold mineralization is typical of any VMS footwall feeder zone with copper-rich,disseminated and vein style mineralization overlain by a massive, zinc-rich lens. The fact that the footwall zone is strongly enriched in gold suggests a copper-gold association which is comparable to other gold enriched VMS camps and deposits..."

"...Seven lense groups have been interpreted within the deposit area and are present between 750 m to 1,480 m below the surface..."

"...Lalor is interpreted as a VMS deposit that precipitated at or near the sea floor in association with contemporaneous volcanism, forming a stratabound accumulation of sulphide minerals. VMS deposits typically form during periods of rifting along volcanic arcs, fore arcs, and in extensional back arc basins. Rifting causes extension and thinning of the crust, providing the high heat source required to generate and sustain a high-temperature hydrothermal system (Franklin et al., 2005).The location of VMS deposits is often controlled by synvolcanic faults and fissures, which permit a focused discharge of hydrothermal fluids. A typical deposit will include the massive mineralization located proximal to the active hydrothermal vent, footwall stockwork mineralization, and distal products, which are typically thin but extensive. Footwall, and less commonly, hanging wall semiconformable alteration zones are produced by high temperature water-rock interactions(Franklin et al., 2005).
The depositional environment for the mineralization at Lalor is similar to that of present and past producing base metal deposits in felsic to mafic volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks in the Snow Lake mining camp. The deposit appears to have an extensive associated hydrothermal alteration pipe.."

Page 14-3 (132 pdf) of the report gives a nice 3D representation of the deposit with its many mineral enriched stacked plates.

Admittedly, the exact regional geology between the Lalor area and that of Talbot may differ. But the mineral depositional environment is still of a VHS nature which means it is volcanic in origin. For the investor, it is the ultimate size of the mining project that matters the most! The potential similarities between Talbot and Lalor are extremely enticing to me as a shareholder.

Just as at Lalor, copper deposition is also richly associated with gold. And at Talbot it appears that the copper near surface minerialized, down drifting extensions are highly enriched with gold, as they continue to run deeper.

And just as at Lalor, the biggest prize may lay deep and deeper below. At Lalor the massive plate system runs 750 m to 1,480 m below the surface!

At Talbot, a similar system of massive mineralization may begin at the 1000 m, level. Perhaps, this system of massive sized mineralization is even bigger than Lalor!!

The present day geophysics at Talbot revealed the upper portions of a similar 1 km sized, perhaps a plate #1, also similar to Lalor, but initially, mostly horizontal in deposition. How big of a deposit, might this actually be?

The question is: why hasn't this deep mining prospect at Talbot been investigated to date? This is an important matter to Rockcliff shareholders that needs to be addressed in a timely way!

I understand from Hudbay's position, it doesn't matter! They have a locked in 65% ownership of the Talbot property.

But why hasn't Rockcliff done the necessary investigation? Why do they continue to dilute their shareholder base by giving cheap private placements to the major investors associated with the insiders of the company?

This isn't right and it should be questioned.

Serving self interest and greed is not how a public company should behave toward its retail shareholders!

If I am wrong, prove it by drilling the deep Talbot plate and doing the necessary geophysics work with Hudbay standing by, as an active participant in the process, and as an impartial observer who may be better motivated, to reveal all of the truth!

                             Rockcliff, your shareholders are waiting!

                                                  Get going!

                                               All the best! Java
