Toronto, ON – January 25, 2023 – Rockcliff Metals Corporation (“Rockcliff” or the “Company”) (CSE: RCLF) (OTCQB: RKCLF) is pleased to announce the start of a fully funded minimum 2,000 metres drill program at several of its 100% owned high-grade copper properties in Manitoba. The properties are strategically located and are part of the Company’s extensive property portfolio located within the world class volcanogenic massive sulphide (“VMS”) hosted Flin Flon-Snow Lake Greenstone Belt. Strategic VMS mineralization targeted in the drill program includes metals of copper and zinc.

Rockcliff’s Interim President and CEO Ken Lapierre commented, “We are pleased to announce that our winter drill program has commenced, and road clearing is progressing to two VMS properties with excellent potential for new discoveries. At the Bur Property, drilling will test several untested VMS geophysical targets located proximal to our existing, 100% owned high grade 5.3Mt Bur VMS Deposit. At the Penex Property, drilling will focus on a significant 2.6 kilometres long untested geophysical target located approximately four kilometres west of the world class Lalor VMS and Gold Mine. We will advance these properties with the goal of finding the next big discovery in this world class copper environment. With success, we look forward in releasing a steady stream of exciting results to the market in the first half of 2023.”

Rockcliff remains the largest junior landholder in the in the Snow Lake mining camp area within the Flin Flon-Snow Lake Greenstone Belt (see Figure 1 below).

Bur Property:

The 100% owned Bur Property hosts the Bur VMS Deposit and is located approximately 22 kilometres by gravel road from the center of the Snow Lake Mining Camp. The Bur VMS Deposit is a strategic, high-grade and significant resource of copper and zinc. It remains open at depth and along strike. Additional nearby exploration geophysical targets have been identified which will be tested in this drill program (see Figure 2 below).

A total of 1,000 metres of drilling in four to six holes are planned in an area approximately 1,000 metres northeast of the Bur VMS Deposit. This area has a similar geological and structural environment to that associated with the Bur VMS Deposit.

Rockcliff completed a NI 43-101 Technical Report in Q4 2021 on the Bur Property and press released the report on November 22, 2021. The Technical Report prepared by Stantec, with an effective date of October 26, 2021, is summarized below:

A total of 1,000 metres of drilling in four to six holes are planned to test the 2.6 kilometers long airborne geophysical target identified in historical airborne surveys and in a recently completed surface geophysical survey. Rockcliff will be targeting several areas along its length in order to determine its VMS significance.
