Exploration initiated at Copper Dome

("ROCK", "Rockfire" or "the Company")

Exploration initiated at Copper Dome

 

Rockfire Resources plc (LON: ROCK), the copper and gold-focused resource company, announces that simultaneous soil sampling, rock sampling and geological mapping are underway at the Copper Dome porphyry copper prospect in Central Queensland ("Copper Dome"). As announced on 26 November 2018, Rockfire has an option to acquire Copper Dome (the "Option") and results obtained from the current field program will assist the Company in its decision whether to proceed to full acquisition.

 

· Soil sampling, rock sampling and structural and geological mapping are being undertaken simultaneously by multiple field crews;

 

· The surface expression of copper mineralisation is more than 2km x 1km and only the upper parts of the deposit have been tapped;

 

· The prospect remains vastly under-explored and many previous drilling intervals with visible copper mineralisation have not been analysed for copper and gold;

 

· As announced on 26 November 2018, previous diamond drilling results include;

 

Ø15m @ 0.9 % Cu (including 4.6m @ 2.3 % Cu) from 161m downhole depth

Ø12m @ 0.6 % Cu (including 3m @ 1.2 % Cu) from 54m downhole depth

Ø24m @ 0.3 % Cu (including 7m @ 0.4 % Cu) from 225m downhole depth

 

· Diamond hole QML004 - 51.20m @ 0.20 g/t gold (from 72m downhole depth);

 

 · Under its previous name of 'Mount Leslie', Copper Dome is listed in the United States Geological Survey (USGS) 2010 "Global Mineral Resource Assessment", which states that the prospect is characterized by chalcopyrite (copper), with minor galena (lead) and sphalerite (zinc).

 

· The mineralisation outcrops at surface, providing low-cost, near-surface exploration, resulting in lower anticipated exploration costs;

 

· Should Rockfire elect to proceed to full acquisition, Rockfire would have 100% ownership of Copper Dome.

 

 

Chief Executive Officer of Rockfire, David Price, commented:

 

"Now that the flood waters have receded in North Queensland, our exploration schedule for 2019 has commenced with multiple exploration teams mobilizing to site for soil sampling, rock sampling, geological mapping and photogrammetry, which are simultaneously underway at Copper Dome."

 

"We have a busy schedule ahead for the coming months, including expansion of the Double Event soil sampling towards the west into the Kookaburra tenement, initiation of exploration at Native Bee (part of the Lighthouse tenement) and mineralization modeling for both Plateau and Double Event in preparation for maiden resource estimates."
