Rockcliff Completes First Phase Drilling at Rail Property

Rockcliff Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: RCR)(Tier 1) is pleased to announce that the first phase of drilling has been completed at the Rail Property and drilling continued to intersect high grade VMS mineralization rich in copper, zinc and gold. The Rail Property forms part of Rockcliff’s Snow Lake VMS Project located in central Manitoba. A total of 5,871m in 27 surface drill holes have been completed on the Rail Property and have intersected potentially continuous VMS style mineralization across a north-south strike length of over 500 metres and to a vertical depth of 300 metres. Down hole geophysics and a surface, deep penetrating EM geophysical survey over the drill area indicate that mineralization is open along strike and below the depth of the present drilling. The VMS mineralization is associated with juvenile arc rocks, the same type of rocks that presently host all of the mined VMS deposits in the Flin Flon and Snow Lake camps. Additional drilling in 2008 will focus on outlining the limits of the known mineralization identified in the present drill program.

Highlights from holes RL07-01to RL08-23 can be viewed on the Company’s website at www.rockcliffresources.com . Highlights from holes RL08-24 to RL08-27 are tabulated below including:

      – 5.49m grading 2.14% copper, 2.088% zinc and 15ppb gold including        1.83m grading 5.16% copper, 4.91% zinc and 27ppb gold;      – 8.23m grading 1.36% copper, 0.08% zinc and 430ppb gold including        3.20m grading 2.19% copper, 0.05% zinc and 881ppb gold and      – 0.30m grading 3.70% copper, 5.36% zinc and 340ppb gold. 

Significant assay results from drill holes RL08-24 to RL08-27 have been received from the analytical laboratory and are tabulated below along with drill hole information. The lengths reported are drill intersected core lengths and do not represent true widths.

The Rail Property VMS mineralization consists of stringers and massive sulphide lenses of pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite. The mineralization is associated with a 5km long conductive horizon hosting a pervasive, highly altered juvenile arc rock package. Rockcliff’s drilling has intersected VMS style mineralization within and beyond the limits of the historical Rail VMS Deposit across a strike length of over 500m and to a vertical depth of 300m. The mineralization remains open along strike and at depth. The historical Rail VMS Deposit averages 1.6m wide, with a strike length of approximately 300m and a vertical depth of 150m. Rockcliff’s drilling suggests that the Rail VMS Deposit is more extensive than previously interpreted. Additional drilling will be required to define the limits of the Rail VMS Deposit and surrounding VMS mineralization.

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. (TSX: HBM). If Rockcliff earns its interest in the Rail Property, HBED will receive a 2% Net Smelter Return Royalty. If Rockcliff earns a 100% interest in the Rail Property, HBED then has the right to acquire up to a 65% interest in the Rail Property.

QA-QC STATEMENT

Peter Wood, P.Eng., P.Geo., VP Exploration of Rockcliff, a Qualified Person under the definition of National Instrument 43-101, is responsible for the technical information in this press release and is responsible for verification and quality assurance of Rockcliff’s exploration data and analytical results. Samples of half core are packaged and shipped directly from Rockcliff’s field office to TSL Laboratories (TSL), Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. TSL is a Canadian assay laboratory and is accredited under ISO/IEC 17025. Each bagged core sample is 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 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.
