Ken Lapierre, President and CEO of Rockcliff commented, "The resource estimation is a very significant milestone for Rockcliff and its shareholders.  The high grade nature of the T-1 Copper Deposit,  its proximity to a major all season highway, power line and our recent discovery of the T-2 Copper Zone is a true testament to the exceptional mine making potential of this property.   We eagerly await the completion of the initial resource estimate for the T-1 Copper Deposit and in moving this property to the next level."

Pursuant to an exploration and option agreement with Pure Nickel Inc., to earn a 70% interest in the property, Rockcliff must pay $150,000 in incremental payments and is required to incur aggregate exploration expenditures totalling $4,000,000.

Rockcliff has recently exercised the option to earn its 50% interest by spending $2,000,000 on exploration expenditures and paying $90,000 to Pure Nickel Inc. over the last two years.  Both parties will now form a joint venture and Rockcliff will earn an additional 20% in the property by

spending an additional $2,000,000 (in progress) in exploration expenditures and paying a total of $60,000 over the next 2 years.  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.
