The Talbot deposit is located within trucking distance to the Company’s leased +1,000 tonnes per day mill and tailings facility. Rockcliff is the largest junior development and exploration landholder in the Flin Flon-Snow Lake greenstone belt, the most extensive Paleoproterozoic Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (“VMS”) district (copper, gold, zinc, silver) in the world.

Talbot drilling intersected mineralization above the current Talbot deposit resource (TB021, TB023, TB025) and within (TB022, TB025) the existing Talbot deposit resource envelope.  Significant assays are highlighted below:

• TB021: yielded 0.71% CuEq across 11.6 metres including 2.3% CuEq across 0.5 metres
• TB022: yielded 0.79% CuEq across 13.9 metres including 2.1% CuEq across 1.2 metres
• TB024: yielded 6.0% CuEq across 18.3 metres including 10.4% CuEq across 4.8 metres
• TB025: yielded 0.94% CuEq across 23.7 metres including 3.2% CuEq across 2.0 metres and 2.0% CuEq across 2.1 metres

Rockcliff’s President and CEO Alistair Ross commented: “Our first assays from this drill program at Talbot have confirmed additional mineralization outside and above the Talbot deposit. Additionally, the fact that drill hole TB024 is the highest-grade mineralization encountered nearest to surface to date is extremely encouraging. We look forward to completing our earn-in of the Talbot property and increase the confidence of the high-grade mineralization.”

Talbot Property Drill Program

The Talbot drill program, a minimum of 22,000 metres is planned to enhance the confidence of the existing Talbot deposit inferred resource within the main lens.  To-date, 14 holes have been completed (TB021-TB033, TB035) and 4 holes (TB034, TB036-TB038) are in progress for a total of 10,186 metres.

All additional completed holes (TB026 – TB033, TB35) are either being sampled at Rockcliff’s core facility in Snow Lake or have been submitted for assay for copper, gold, zinc and silver.

This current round of drilling will result in Rockcliff earning an initial 51% ownership interest in the Talbot project pursuant to the Company’s option agreement with Hudbay Minerals Inc.  The Talbot project hosts the Talbot copper deposit, a high-grade 4.2M tonne National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) Inferred mineral resource grading 1.61% Cu, 1.4% Zn, 1.77 g/t Au and 27.96 g/t Ag as disclosed in the Rockcliff press release dated January 19, 2018. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Quality Control and Quality Assurance

Samples of half core were packaged and shipped directly from Rockcliff’s core facility in Snow Lake to TSL Laboratories (TSL), in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.  TSL is a Canadian assay laboratory and is accredited under ISO/IEC 17025.  Each bagged core sample was dried, crushed to 70% passing 10 mesh and a 250g pulp is pulverized to 95% passing 150 mesh for assaying.  A 0.5g cut is taken from each pulp for base metal analyses and leached in a multi acid (total) digestion and then analyzed for copper, lead, zinc and silver by atomic absorption.  Gold concentrations are determined by fire assay using a 30g charge followed by an atomic absorption finish.  Samples greater than the upper detection limit (3000 ppb) are reanalyzed using fire assay gravimetric using a 1 AT charge.  Rockcliff inserted certified blanks and standards in the sample stream to ensure lab integrity. Rockcliff has no relationship with TSL other than TSL being a service provider to the Company.

Laguna hosts the historic Rex-Laguna gold mine, Manitoba’s first and highest-grade former gold mine located within the Flin Flon-Snow Lake greenstone belt.  Periodic gold mining from the Laguna quartz vein, between 1916 and 1939, produced over 60,000 ounces of gold with an average of 18.7 gpt. Laguna includes 28 contiguous mining claims totalling 3,501 hectares.

Laguna Phase 2 Drill Program

Kinross completed a total of 3,203 metres of drilling in 17 holes over a portion of  the Laguna gold mine trend, a six kilometre long corridor of prospective geology and quartz veining.  All drill holes intersected quartz veining with 11 of 17 holes intersecting veining/shearing over a minimum of one metre in core length. The program centered on the extension of the Laguna Vein System and the Kiski Vein System

Laguna Vein System (see Figure 1):  Nine of 14 holes intersected the the main quartz vein estimated to be extensions of the Laguna quartz vein. Three of the holes intersected visible gold. Typical mineralization included 1% arsenopyrite in strongly sericitized bands over one to three metres in proximity to quartz veins in a strongly silicified rhyolite. Arsenopyrite is predominantly disseminated within sericitized zones and follow along hairline fractures and vein margins.  Secondary quartz veins were observed often in areas above mined out stopes, with variable widths and mineralized with approximately 1% to 5% disseminated and fracture filling arsenopyrite.

Kiski Vein System (see Figure 2): All three holes encountered quartz veins with strong arsenopyrite mineralization (1% to 5%)  in silicified gabbroic host. Mineralization was highly  constrained between 1 to 3 metres around the intersected vein.

All holes have been sampled and assay results are presently pending.
