New 200 metre
Step-down Holes Planned
London, England
& Baie Verte, Newfoundland
and Labrador � Rambler Metals and Mining plc (TSXV: RAB, AIM:
RMM) is pleased to announce new results from its surface diamond drilling
exploration program.
�
RM07-20k returns 8.76 m of 2.32%
copper with 0.88 g/T gold
�
RM08-20m returns 4.00 m of 6.33%
copper with 2.10 g/T gold
�
RM08-20na returns 2.02 m of 2.78%
copper with 1.21 g/T gold
1807 Massive Sulphide Zone
The
1807 Massive Sulphide Zone is proving to be an important focus for Rambler�s
directional drilling program. These latest holes are the deepest
intersections on the zone to date bringing its total plunge length to
500m. With its high grade mineralization and close proximity to the
existing underground infrastructure the 1807 Zone will play a key role when the
economics of this project are evaluated.
The
success from this drill setup has confirmed that the high grade mineralization
continues at depth and new targets have been planned to test the zone 200m down
plunge from the current setup. Both of the surface drills on the property
are now testing the 1807 Zone because of the positive impact these results will
have on Rambler�s NI43-101 resource estimate, due for publication calendar Q2,
2008. Assay results from these new holes are expected to be released in
the coming weeks.

Larry
Pilgrim, P.Geo and Independent Consultant comments;
�The tight controlled drilling to date utilizing directional drilling
technology and based on a drill pattern of 25 meters laterally and 50 meters downdip has
increased the geological confidence in the geometry of the gold rich 1807
massive sulphide zone. This confidence along with positive results has enabled
the Rambler team to plan larger 100 meter to 200 meter downdip
step-outs to test the zone at depth. The first 100 meter step-out should
be completed within a week.�

All tonnes are dry metric tonnes.
Drill intercepts quoted
are core lengths; true widths for the 1807 zone are estimated to be 90% to 95% of the
intersected core lengths. Analytical results for Rambler core in this
press release were determined at Eastern Analytical, Springdale, NL.
Samples are then shipped by courier to Activation Laboratories Ltd.,
Ancaster Ontario,
where a 34 element ICP analysis and gold fire assay are performed.
