Lower Footwall Zone
Much of the footwall drilling for this release was from the 2400 drill bay. This area was first tested in the closing days of the old mine where three holes intersected broad zones of stringer type mineralization of 2% copper over varying widths. Unfortunately none of the historical core or drill logs were preserved after the mine�s closure and until now only one other hole, RM04-03, confirmed the exceptional copper grades in this area which returned 12.14 m of 2.32% Cu and 22.10 m of 2.26% Cu.
These latest holes have exceeded all historically reported mineralization, including the 2004 drill hole, reconfirming that that Lower Footwall Zone is capable of supporting 2% and better copper grades over significant distances. This new drilling information will upgrade most of this area into the indicated category or better in-turn strengthening the reported resource estimate. An updated resource estimate for the entire Ming Mine is expected during calendar 1Q2009.
George Ogilvie, P.Eng, President and CEO, Rambler commented;
�We continue to produce good drilling results from the Lower Footwall Zone which will bolster our long term mining plan. We are confident that the results of this drill program will continue to build upon the resource estimate outlined in the NI43-101 Report released on June 16th, 2008.�
The table below summarizes the widths, grades and drill station of the recent holes. All underground drill holes in this release targeted the Lower Footwall Zone.

Larry Pilgrim, P.Geo. is the Qualified Person responsible for the technical content of this release and has reviewed and approved it accordingly. Mr. Pilgrim is an independent consultant contracted by Rambler Metals and Mining plc.
All tonnes are dry metric tonnes.
Drill intercepts quoted are core lengths; true widths for the Lower Footwall Zone are estimated to be in excess of 90% of the intersected core lengths. Analytical results for Rambler core are first determined at Eastern Analytical, Springdale, NL. S amples are then shipped by courier to Activation Laboratories Ltd.(�Actlabs�), Ancaster Ontario, where a 34 element ICP analysis and gold fire assay are performed. The results presented in this release are based on assay data from Eastern Analytical and Actlabs�. ActLabs� data, being the accredited lab for this project, will supersede all other results.
