Rockcliff to Commence Winter Drill Program at Tower Property and Grants Stock Options; Large Coincident Magnetometer and EM Anomaly to be Drilled

Trading Symbol RCR: TSXV
www.rockcliffresources.com

TORONTO, Jan. 22, 2014 /CNW/ - Rockcliff Resources Inc. ("Rockcliff") (TSXV: RCR) is pleased to announce that work permits and geophysical and drill contracts are finalized for a winter drill program to commence shortly on the Tower Property.  Rockcliff will initially drill a large coincident magnetometer and EM anomaly untested by previous drilling. The drill program is targeting copper, zinc, gold and silver (VMS) mineralization.

A minimum 1,000 meter drill program is planned to begin in early February at the Tower Property.  Last year's reconnaissance DPEM (Deep Penetrating Electro Magnetic) survey completed east of the high grade T-1 Copper Deposit outlined a strong electromagnetic response southeast of the deposit and worthy of follow-up exploration.  This year's geophysical survey covering the area identified a highly conductive, west dipping, DPEM anomaly with a coincident high magnetic response.  The +600m long, north-south trending anomaly is a "priority 1 anomaly" and is very similar in appearance to the geophysical anomaly related to the high grade T-1 Copper Deposit (see below table for the NI 43-101 T-1 Deposit Resource). Prior to drilling, additional geophysics will be completed immediately south of the anomaly where it remains open along strike.  A minimum 4 holes will test the anomaly under approximately 100m of limestone cover for its copper, zinc, gold and silver potential.

Additional geophysical maps from recent surveys can be found at www.rockcliffresources.com.

Outlined below is a National Instrument   43-101 Mineral Resource Statement, T-1 Copper Deposit, Manitoba, completed by Caracle Creek International Consulting Inc., dated December 2, 2012:

Resource Category    Tonnes   Cu (%)   Zn (%)   Ag (g/t)   Au (g/t)   Contained Pounds-Cu 
                         
Indicated     1,084,186   3.73   1.05   17.28    0.55   88,968,303
Inferred     1,253,522   2.00   1.02   9.78   0.27   55,154,968
                         

Notes:

  1. CIM definitions were followed for the estimation of mineral resources.
  2. Mineral resources are estimated at a Cu cut-off of 0.5%.
  3. Cut-off grade was based on a copper price of US$3.63 per pound.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.
  7. The report entitled "Independent Technical Report, Tower Property, Grand Rapids, Manitoba" dated January 20, 2013 (the "Tower Deposit Report") was prepared by Zsuzsanna Magyarosi, Julie Selway, Jason Baker and Julie Palich, independent qualified persons under NI 43-101, for Caracle Creek International Consulting Inc. (Caracle Creek).

At Tower, Rockcliff exercised the option to earn its 50% interest by spending $2,000,000 on exploration expenditures and paying $90,000 to Pure Nickel Inc.  A 50/50 Joint venture has now been formed. Rockcliff can now earn an additional 20% interest in the property by spending an additional $2,000,000 (approximately $1,900,000 of which has been spent to date) in exploration expenditures and paying a total of $60,000 to Pure Nickel ($30,000 has been paid to date) by March of 2014.  Once completed, Rockcliff will control a 70% interest in the property.   An underlying 2% NSR on the property is held by Xstrata Nickel, of which half can be purchased for $1,000,000.

Ken Lapierre, P.Geo., President & CEO of Rockcliff Resources Inc., is a Qualified Person under the definition of National Instrument 43-101.  Mr. Lapierre has reviewed and approved the technical information in this press release.

Rockcliff also wishes to announce that an aggregate of 1,325,000 options to purchase common shares of Rockcliff at $0.10 per share for five years have been granted to two (2) executive officers (675,000), four (4) directors (575,000) and one (1) employee (75,000) of Rockcliff.
