Rockcliff Identifies Multiple DPEM Targets near Spruce Point Copper Mine Diamond Drill set to test DPEM Massive Sulphide Potential

Trading Symbol RCR: TSXV

TORONTO, Feb. 8, 2012 /CNW/ - Rockcliff Resources Inc. ("Rockcliff") (RCR: Tier 1 TSXV) is pleased to announce that the DPEM geophysical survey at the Spruce Point Property, located in central Manitoba, has identified multiple DPEM targets centered around the former Spruce Point Copper Mine.  A drill has now been secured to test the DPEM targets beginning in mid-February.  The Spruce Point Property hosts a former copper producer (Spruce Point Copper Mine) located within the Snow Lake Mining camp.  The property is part of Rockcliff's Snow Lake Project which is located within the prolific Flin Flon greenstone belt, host to the largest Paleoproterozoic VMS district in the world.

Drilling will focus on at least two preliminary DPEM targets (T-4 and T-5) identified in the recently completed survey.  The T-4 target has a strike length of +500m and begins at a vertical depth of approximately 300m.  The T-5 target has a strike length of greater than 150m and begins at a vertical depth of approximately 100m.  Both targets are high priority drill targets with massive sulphide potential. 

The Spruce Point Mine was discovered in 1972 and one-650m deep production shaft was completed by 1981.  Production began in 1982 and was completed in 1988 from several VMS-rich (copper, gold, zinc, silver) zones.  Production figures are tabulated below.

Tonnes	Copper/pounds	Zinc/pounds	Silver/ounces	Gold/ounces
1,364,000	2.36%/70,800,000	2.8%/84,000,000	25.00g/t/1.09M	2.0g/t/87,500

Additional historical resources within and below the underground workings are tabulated below. The historical resources were documented in the Mineral Deposit Series Report #33 completed by the Manitoba Energy and Mines Geological Services in 1996 and by Hudson Bay Exploration and Development Company Limited (HBED) in 1992.

Zones	Tonnes	Copper	Zinc	Silver	Gold
Multiple zones	567,000	2.15%	1.7%	15.04g/t	1.44g/t
Copper (lower, central)	900,172	2.34%	----	----	----

Although the historical resources are viewed as reliable and relevant based on the information and methods used at the time they do not satisfy the requirements set out by NI 43-101.  Neither Rockcliff nor its Qualified Persons have done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current mineral resources and are not treating the historical estimates as current mineral resources.  The historical resources should not be relied upon.

Rockcliff has the exclusive right to earn a 100% interest in the Spruce Point Property from HBED, a wholly owned subsidiary of HudBay Minerals Inc. (HBM: TSX). Rockcliff will be required to incur aggregate exploration expenditures totalling $2,400,000 over four years.  If Rockcliff earns its interest in the Spruce Point Property, HBED then has a right to acquire up to a 65% interest in the Spruce Point Property. Please refer to the Press Release dated February 14, 2011 for further details.
