Program Doubles in Size
Trading Symbol RCR: TSXV
An additional 2500m of drilling has been added to the on-going program. The program will focus on defining the outer limits of the Rail Zone and test other high priority geophysical targets identified in previous surveys in the area.
Highlights from previous holes (RL07-01 to RL08-32) completed by Rockcliff on the Rail Zone at the Rail Property can be viewed on the Company's website at www.rockcliffresources.com. Highlights from the recent drill holes RL09-33 to RL09-38 are tabulated below including:
- 8.38m grading 2.65% copper, 0.43g/t gold, 0.06% zinc and 4.5g/t silver including 5.94m grading 3.03% copper, 0.28g/t gold, 0.06% zinc and 5.0g/t silver (RL09-33); - 4.11m grading 2.29% copper, 0.50g/t gold, 0.08% zinc and 4.5g/t silver including 2.23m grading 2.91% copper, 0.35g/t gold, 0.05% zinc and 5.3g/t silver (RL09-34); - 4.74m grading 9.02% copper, 3.46g/t gold, 1.62% zinc and 36.5g/t silver including 3.99m grading 10.63% copper, 3.86g/t gold, 1.77% zinc and 42.5g/t silver (RL09-37); - 3.97m grading 2.65% copper, 1.18g/t gold, 1.64% zinc and 11.8g/t silver including 1.83m grading 5.58% copper, 2.54g/t gold, 3.28% zinc and 24.4g/t silver (RL09-38).
To date, a total of 1,970m in six surface drill holes (RL09-33 to RL09-38) have been completed in this program on the Rail Property. The Rail Zone intersected in holes 33, 34 and 35, were drilled south of the historic Rail Deposit and have confirmed that the copper-rich R1 VMS Zone (please see news release dated
Drilling is expected to continue up to the Christmas break and then continue into the New Year.
Significant assay results from drill holes RL09-33 to RL09-38 are tabulated below along with drill hole information. The lengths reported are drill intersected core lengths and do not represent true widths.
