Rockcliff Commences Drill Program at Snow Lake Project
Trading Symbol RCR: TSXV
Rockcliff will initially follow-up on recent drilling at the Rail Property where high grade Rail Zone VMS mineralization grading 9.02% copper, 3.46g/t gold, 1.62% zinc and 36.5g/t silver across 4.74 m (see Press Release dated
Drilling at the Reed property will focus on a series of deep, off-hole anomalies indicative of multiple, stacked, highly conductive lenses with conductivities typical of massive sulphide mineralization. Four off-hole anomalies at vertical depths of 500 m, 750 m, 880 m and 930 m will be tested.
Additional areas to test are at the Freebeth property where a previous borehole survey detected an untested off-hole anomaly in a prospective VMS area and at the Squall and Tramping properties where a recent ZTEM survey has identified buried anomalies in the same juvenile arc rock package as at HudBay's Lalor Deposit. The Squall and Tramping properties are located approximately 6 km north and south respectively of HudBay's Lalor Deposit.
Rockcliff has the exclusive right to earn a 100% interest in the Rail, Reed and Freebeth properties 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, Reed and Freebeth properties, HBED will receive a 2% Net Smelter Return Royalty in each of the properties. If Rockcliff earns a 100% interest in the Rail, Reed and Freebeth properties, HBED then has a right to acquire up to a 65% interest in the Rail, Reed and Freebeth properties.
