Agreement Provides Framework for Cooperation Agreement Negotiations and Community Consultation

FREDERICTON, June 27, 2013 /CNW/ - Northcliff Resources Ltd. ("Northcliff" or the "Company") (TSX: NCF) is pleased to announce it has signed a Process Agreement (the "Agreement") with the Woodstock First Nation for the Sisson Tungsten-Molybdenum Project located in central New Brunswick. The Agreement provides a framework for Northcliff and the Woodstock First Nation to negotiate a Cooperation Agreement and to work together on community consultation efforts.

Woodstock First Nation Chief Len Tomah, Jr. said, "This is a first and important step for the Woodstock First Nation to take with the Company in assessing whether the proposed Sisson Project can provide sustainable opportunities for our community. There is a great deal that our membership needs to learn about with respect to both the potential impacts and benefits of this Project, and through this Process Agreement, we hope to become better informed about the Sisson Project."

Northcliff President & CEO Chris Zahovskis said, "I would like to thank the Woodstock First Nation for their willingness to explore opportunities with us related to the development of the Sisson Project. We believe the proposed project has the potential to create long term benefits for New Brunswick First Nations and this agreement is a step in that direction. We have agreed to implement a community consultation process that is based on open dialogue and good faith. We have also agreed to implement a process to negotiate a long term Cooperation Agreement with the Woodstock First Nation. Northcliff is committed to meaningful consultation with First Nations and we look forward to establishing a long term partnership with the Woodstock First Nation."

The Process Agreement consists of the following key areas:

Cooperation Agreement Negotiations

The Process Agreement outlines the approach for the establishment of a Cooperation Agreement that would record the formal relationship and associated benefits negotiated between the two parties. A Cooperation Agreement, commonly referred to as an Impact and Benefits Agreement, is a long term agreement between a company and a First Nation setting out the obligations, responsibilities and benefits of the various parties.   Northcliff and the Woodstock First Nation have agreed to negotiate in good faith and in a spirit of cooperation and mutual respect. A Cooperation Agreement could contain commitments related to environmental protection, education and employment of Woodstock First Nations members, social and cultural protection and enhancements, and economic benefits.

Community Consultation Process

A key aspect of the consultation process is engaging First Nations community members to discuss potential impacts of the project on First Nations' interests.   As part of the Process Agreement, the Woodstock First Nation will implement a community consultation process that will inform the community about the status of the potential development and learn what the community thinks about the Sisson Project.
