TORONTO , May 7, 2014 /CNW/ - Rockcliff Resources Inc. ("Rockcliff") (RCR:Tier 1 TSXV) is pleased to announce that it has exercised its option to earn an
additional 20% interest in the Tower Property and now holds a 70%
controlling interest in the property. The Tower property hosts high
grade copper in the National Instrument 43-101 T-1 Deposit, the T-2
Copper zone and numerous untested VMS targets worthy of additional
drill testing.
Ken Lapierre , President and CEO of Rockcliff commented, "The T-1 Deposit
is an exceptional asset in a world class VMS camp located beside a
highway and two active power lines. With the addition of the high
grade Talbot Deposit (see news release dated April 23, 2014 ), Rockcliff
now has the potential to achieve critical mass by expanding on both of
these deposits. We plan an aggressive drilling campaign and look
forward to advancing our copper assets in this area".

Notes:
-
CIM definitions were followed for the estimation of mineral resources.
-
T-1 Mineral resources are estimated at a Cu cut-off of 0.5%. Talbot
estimated at minimum zinc equivalent cut-off of 4%
-
T-1 cut-off grade was based on a copper price of US$3.63 per pound.
Talbot was based on $2 /pound.
-
Given the tonnage, grade and orientation of the deposit, Caracle Creek
considers the T-1 Copper Deposit to be reasonably amenable to
extraction using underground mining methods.
-
T-1 specific gravity measurements were taken on a portion of the samples
and where actual measurements were not available an average of 3.00 was
used. Talbot specific gravity measurements were taken by HBED and HBM
personnel.
-
Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated
economic viability.

Historical Talbot estimates of grade and tonnage given in this Press
Release are viewed as reliable and relevant based on the information
and methods used at the time. They were prepared in compliance with
resource definitions under NI 43-101 but must be considered only as
historic resources as the Talbot Report is not a public document.
Neither Rockcliff nor its Qualified Persons have done sufficient work
to classify the historic estimate as a current mineral resource under
current mineral resource or mineral reserve terminology and are not
treating the historic estimate as a current mineral resource. The
historic resource should not be relied upon.
Pursuant to an exploration and option agreement with Pure Nickel Inc. (NIC: TSXV), to earn a 70% interest in the property, Rockcliff has paid a total of
$150,000 in payments and has incurred exploration expenditures
totalling over $4,000,000 . After review and confirmation of the
expenditures by Pure Nickel, Rockcliff now controls a 70% interest in
the property while Pure Nickel holds the remaining 30%. An underlying
2% NSR on the property is held by Xstrata Nickel (Glencore Xstrata
plc), of which half can be purchased for $1,000,000 .
Ken Lapierre P.Geo ., President and CEO of Rockcliff Resources Inc., a
Qualified Person in accordance with Canadian regulatory requirements as
set out in NI 43-101, is responsible for the information in this press
release.
