Rockcliff Initiates Tower Property Drill Program

Sudbury, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - January 14, 2021) - Rockcliff Metals Corporation (CSE: RCLF) (FSE: RO0) (WKN: A2H60G) ("Rockcliff" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that a drill program has been initiated at the Company's 100% owned Tower Property. The focus of the drill program will be on a highly prospective, buried, untested, geophysical anomaly termed the T3 Anomaly ("T3"). The T3 is strategically located approximately 1,200 m north of the copper-rich Tower Deposit where a recently completed preliminary economic assessment ("PEA") highlighted positive economics. The Tower Property is part of Rockcliff's extensive land package located in one of the most prolific and largest Paleoprotezoic volcangenic massive sulphide ("VMS") district in the world.

Alistair Ross, President and CEO said, "I am pleased to report rapid follow up on one of the key findings of the PEA showing that resource size is a key factor in improved economics. Our development rates and costs as proposed in the PEA indicate that should the T3 provide encouraging grade and size, the cost and schedule of reaching that area will fit very well inside the current intent of extending the proposed mine life at the Tower Property. We are examining the Rail Property for similar opportunities."

The exploration focus of this drill program at the Tower Property will be to determine the conductive source of the untested T3; an approximate 450 m by 450 m sized geophysical conductor topping at 650 metres vertical (Figure 1). The T3 is located on trend and approximately 1,200 m north of the copper-rich Tower Deposit. The Tower Deposit is a NI 43-101 compliant Resource with a mineralized strike length of 1,000 m and has been intersected to depths of between 125 m and 800 m where it remains open at depth and partially to the north.
