Rockcliff Completes 51% Earn-in on Talbot Property, Reports Additional High-Grade Drill Results Including 10.15% CuEq across ...
2019年12月18日 - 10:10PM
Rockcliff Metals Corporation (
“Rockcliff” or the
“Company”) (CSE: RCLF) (FRANKFURT: RO0, WKN:
A2H60G) is pleased to announce that is has completed all
work required for the Company to earn a 51% ownership interest in
the Talbot Property pursuant to the Company’s option agreement with
Hudbay Minerals Inc. (“Hudbay”) dated April 14, 2014 (the “Option
Agreement”). Rockcliff has delivered written notice to Hudbay
advising Hudbay of the achievement of this milestone. In addition,
the Company announces additional high-grade assay results from the
Talbot Property of 4.04% Copper Equivalent (“CuEq”) across 11.13
metres including 10.5% CuEq across 3.46 metres.
- The Talbot Property, one of Rockcliff’s core projects, is a
gold-rich, copper asset. The Talbot deposit hosts a National
Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) inferred mineral resource of 4.2
million tonnes at 1.6% Cu, 1.8 g/t Au, 1.4% Zn, 28 g/t Ag as
disclosed in the Rockcliff press release dated January 19, 2018.
Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have
demonstrated economic viability.
- To the best of knowledge of Rockcliff, the Talbot deposit
constitutes one of the largest pre-production inferred resource
estimates in the Flin Flon belt. The Talbot deposit is
located within trucking distance to the Company’s leased +1,000
tonnes per day mill and tailings facility.
Rockcliff’s 51% Interest in
Talbot
Highlights from the Talbot Property Option
Agreement:
- Rockcliff has incurred the $6.12 million in expenditures
required to earn its 51% interest in the property;
- Hudbay has a 24 month back-in right which expires in November
of 2021. The back-in right gives Hudbay the right to acquire
an additional 2% ownership interest in the property, thereby
raising their ownership stake to 51%, and resulting in Hudbay
becoming the operator of the property;
- If, as operator, Hudbay takes the property into production,
Rockcliff could retain a minimum 35% carried interest in the
property through life-of-mine;
- If Hudbay does not exercise its back-in right, Rockcliff as
operator could take the property into production and earn a minimum
65% interest in the property.
Rockcliff is the largest junior development and
exploration landholder in the Flin Flon-Snow Lake greenstone belt,
a region Rockcliff believes is the most extensive Paleoproterozoic
Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (“VMS”) district (copper, gold, zinc,
silver) in the world.
Talbot Drill Results in 4.04% CuEq
Across 11.13 Metres Including 10.5% CuEq Across 3.46
Metres
The latest round of drill results includes 4.04%
CuEq across 11.13 metres including 10.5% CuEq across 3.46
metres. The Talbot drill program has been designed to
enhance the confidence of the existing Talbot deposit inferred
resource within the main lens. To-date, 19 holes totaling
11,669 metres have been completed (holes TB021-TB039). Holes
TB033-TB039 have been submitted to the assay lab for analysis for
copper, gold, zinc and silver. Holes TB021-TB025 assay results were
pressed released on November 12, 2019 and filed on
Sedar.

Quality Control and Quality
Assurance
Samples of half core were packaged and shipped
directly from Rockcliff’s core facility in Snow Lake to TSL
Laboratories (TSL), in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. TSL is a
Canadian assay laboratory and is accredited under ISO/IEC
17025. Each bagged core sample was dried, crushed to 70%
passing 10 mesh and a 250g pulp is pulverized to 95% passing 150
mesh for assaying. A 0.5g cut is taken from each pulp for
base metal analyses and leached in a multi acid (total) digestion
and then analyzed for copper, lead, zinc and silver by atomic
absorption. Gold concentrations are determined by fire assay
using a 30g charge followed by an atomic absorption finish.
Samples greater than the upper detection limit (3000 ppb) are
reanalyzed using fire assay gravimetric using a 1 AT
charge. Rockcliff inserted certified blanks and standards in
the sample stream to ensure lab integrity. Rockcliff has no
relationship with TSL other than TSL being a service provider to
the Company.
Ken Lapierre P.Geo., Vice-President, Exploration
of Rockcliff, a Qualified Person in accordance with Canadian
regulatory requirements as set out in NI 43-101, has reviewed and
approved the scientific and technical information that forms the
