Rockcliff Copper (“Rockcliff” or the “Company”) (TSXV:RCU) (FRANKFURT:RO0) (WKN:A142TR) is pleased to announce that its recently completed surface geophysical survey has identified a large untested conductive plate below the historical Pen Zinc Deposit that is partially located on the Company’s 100% owned Penex zinc property (the “Property”), Snow Lake, Manitoba. The Property is strategically located approximately 4.5 kilometres southwest of Hudbay Minerals Inc.’s (“Hudbay”) high-grade Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide Lalor mine and less than 200 metres from Hudbay’s up-dip near surface portion of the historic high grade unmined Pen zinc deposit. The Property hosts the down dip continuation of the Pen zinc deposit and is part of the Company’s Snow Lake Project, one of the highest grade base and precious metals property portfolios in North America.
As quoted in the press release:

Ken Lapierre, President and CEO of Rockcliff commented, “In exploration, geophysics is crucial in discovering buried conductive plates that could end up becoming high grade base metal mines in the Flin Flon-Snow Lake mining camp. We are fortunate to have acquired 100% interest in the Penex Zinc Property by staking. The Property covers the down dip continuation of the high grade Pen Zinc deposit where it crosses onto our Property at approximately 300-350 metres vertical. With our geophysical survey identifying a strong untested conductive plate immediately below the known deposit and continuing to at depth of at least 800 metres vertical bodes well for high grade zinc mineralization to continue on the Property. We will continue to explore and prepare the Property for a planned drill program in 2017.”
