Trading Symbol RCR: TSXV
TORONTO, March 19, 2014 /CNW/ - Rockcliff Resources Inc. ("Rockcliff") (TSXV: RCR) has completed a winter drill program completing three (3) holes
totalling 1046m on the Tower Property, central Manitoba. The main
focus of the drill program was to test one of four flanking conductive
DPEM (Deep Penetrating Electro Magnetic) anomalies located near the
high grade T-1 Copper Deposit. Drilling successfully identified semi
massive to massive sulphide lenses up to five (5) meters thick.
Mineralization consisted of sporadic anomalous copper, zinc, gold and
silver values. A down hole geophysical survey identified a new off
hole anomaly below the semi massive to massive sulphide lenses. The
off hole anomaly and remaining three (3) DPEM anomalies represent
viable VMS style targets worthy of follow-up geophysics and drilling.
Also, Rockcliff is pleased to announce it has now exceeded its final
$2.0M expenditure requirement to earn an additional 20% interest in the
Tower Property. Subject to review by its joint venture partner, Pure
Nickel Inc., and payment of the $30,000 option payment due on March 26,
2014, Rockcliff will control a 70% interest in the property. An
underlying 2% NSR on the property is held by Xstrata Nickel, of which
half can be purchased for $1,000,000. The property hosts the high
grade T-1 Copper Deposit (see below) with significant credits in zinc,
gold and silver and is strategically located beside a major paved all
season highway and two (2) active power lines.

Notes:
-
CIM definitions were followed for the estimation of mineral resources.
-
Mineral resources are estimated at a Cu cut-off of 0.5%.
-
Cut-off grade was based on a copper price of US$3.63 per pound.
-
Given the tonnage, grade and orientation of the deposit, Caracle Creek
considers the T-1 Copper Deposit to be reasonably amenable to
extraction using underground mining methods.
-
Specific Gravity measurements were taken on a portion of the samples and
where actual measurements were not available an average of 3.00 was
used.
-
Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated
economic viability.
