Rockcliff Drilling Extends Rail Copper Deposit at Snow Lake and High Grade Gold Results Uncovered at Black Gold Property

Trading Symbol RCR: TSXV

TORONTO, Oct. 5, 2011 /CNW/ - Rockcliff Resources Inc. (RCR: TSXV) is pleased to announce that recent drilling at the Rail Property, Manitoba has extended the Rail Deposit 100m south where the deposit remains open along strike and at depth.  Additionally, trenching and surface sampling at the Black Gold Property, Ontario has uncovered high grade gold mineralization within the WK Gold Zone.  The zone presently has a surface strike length of over 85m and widths between 2 to 8m.  Systematic, surface grab sampling of the zone has yielded values ranging up to 55.3g/t gold.

Rail Property, Snow Lake, Manitoba: 

Hole RL11-61 intersected a down the hole width (not true thickness) grading 1.6% copper, 0.2g/t gold, 0.1% zinc and 3.8g/t silver across 2.3m including 3.4% copper, 0.3g/t gold, 0.1% zinc and 6.6g/t silver across 0.75m. The hole extended the known Rail mineralization an additional 100m to the south of the present deposit. A second hole (RL11-60) undercut the mineralization and failed to intersect significant copper values.

An additional hole (RL11-59) tested the top edge of a large DPEM conductor north of the deposit at a vertical depth of approximately 450m.  The hole intersected anomalous (0.1%) copper mineralization within massive sulphides associated with classic style VMS alteration.

Additional winter drilling is planned at Rail to expand the deposit southwards and to determine the overall copper potential of the north DPEM conductor below 450m vertical.

Black Gold Property, Kirkland Lake, Ontario:

Trenching uncovered the WK Gold Zone over a strike length of 85m.  Gold values recorded below were systematically collected within and along the zone which has a known surface width ranging between 2m to 8m.

The arithmetic average of the 43 grab samples within the zone yielded a grade of 7.77g/t gold.  The north-south striking WK Gold Zone is associated with visible native gold and disseminated pyrite within a shear zone hosted quartz stockwork system.  Trenching has outlined the zone to a known strike length of approximately 85m with widths ranging between 2 and 8m wide.  The zone is located along the western limit and is part of an Induced Polarization (IP) anomaly striking for over 300m.  The remainder of the anomaly is covered by overburden.  Prospecting and geological surveys are presently in progress on the remaining unexplored areas of the property.

A winter drill program is planned on the WK Gold Zone.

Tower Property:

Drilling the Tower Property, initially scheduled for fall drilling, will begin after winter freeze-up due to abnormally wet ground conditions.  Two untested geophysical conductors (T-3 and T-1B) located proximal to the Tower Deposit will be tested.  The T-3 conductor is located 800m west of the Tower Deposit, has a strike length of over 1 km and has very similar geophysical characteristics to the nearby Tower Deposit.  The deposit has intersected pervasive high grade copper mineralization over a strike length of 700m and to a vertical depth of over 400m and remains open in all directions.  Some of the higher grades at Tower include 8.2m grading 7.6% copper, 2.0g/t gold, 1.7% zinc and 35.4g/t silver (hole 8) and 4.9m grading 6.1% copper, 1.6g/t gold, 2.0% zinc and 35.9g/t silver (hole 21) which were previously drilled and reported in press releases dated March 1 and May 17, 2011.

Rockcliff has the exclusive right to earn a 70% interest in the Tower Property from Pure Nickel Inc. (NIC: TSX).  Rockcliff must pay $150,000 in incremental payments over four years and will be required to incur aggregate exploration expenditures totalling $4,000,000 over four years.  Please refer to the Press Release dated February 28, 2008 for further details.

Rockcliff has the exclusive right to earn a 100% interest in the Rail Property from Hudson Bay Exploration and Development Company Limited (HBED), a wholly owned subsidiary of HudBay Minerals Inc. (HBM: TSX). If Rockcliff earns its interest in the Rail Property, HBED will receive a 2% Net Smelter Return Royalty in the property. If Rockcliff earns a 100% interest in the Rail Property, HBED then has a right to acquire up to a 65% interest in the Rail Property. Please refer to the Press Release dated March 23, 2007 for further details.
