Airborne Survey Identifies Structural Lineaments
Trading Symbol RCR: TSXV
TORONTO, Sept. 28 /CNW/ - Rockcliff Resources Inc. (RCR: Tier 1 TSXV) is pleased to announce that exploration at the Gold Dust Property has returned high grade surface grab samples up to 24.2g/t gold and 35.6 g/t silver.
The samples occurred in sulphide rich quartz veins hosted in sheared mafic volcanic and quartz feldspar porphyry rocks and were coincident with regional and local structural lineaments outlined by a recently completed 605 line km airborne magnetometer and VLF-EM geophysical survey.
Table 1 highlights significant assay results yielding gold values above 5.0 g/t sampled by Rockcliff Resources on the Gold Dust property.

The Bow Vein samples were part of a larger sample program collected over a 100m strike of the vein. The Bow Vein has been traced historically a distance of approximately 300m and remains open along strike and at depth. Gold Dust rock samples were removed from several historical pits and trenches. The Gold Pan sample was removed from a waste pile adjacent to an historic overgrown pit.
The airborne survey was conducted by CMG Airborne using three potassium magnetometers sensors, two VLF-EM sensor coils, radar altimeter, GPS antenna and on-board electronics to digitize and transmit all geophysical data to the recording system in the helicopter. The system specializes in identifying structural features and low volume sulphide material which could represent gold bearing environments.
