ROCA - MAX Mine Rockfall Extends Maintenance Break
=======================================================================
Vancouver, British Columbia: Roca Mines Inc. (ROK: TSX-V) ("Roca" or
"the Company") announces that it will extend the planned Christmas
shutdown of its MAX mill and concentrator, originally scheduled between
December 12 and 29, 2008, to now restart on January 19, 2009.
The extension is a direct result of a rockfall that occurred
underground at the mine on December 4, 2008 that has impacted the
availability of production ore.
The rockfall was localized to the stope development area of the 875
level. No workers were present on the level at the time and no one was
harmed. The rockfall poses no threat to other working areas of the
mine, but does impact the immediate production schedule. A review and
investigation of the rockfall event has been undertaken by the
Company's geotechnical consultants, inspectors from the Ministry of
Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources and senior Roca staff.
