Further high-grade drill results from Molaoi

Rockfire Resources plc

("Rockfire" or the "Company") Further high-grade drill results from Molaoi

Rockfire Resources plc (LON: ROCK), the base metal, gold, and critical mineral exploration company, is pleased to announce that the Company's geotechnical drilling, has intersected high-grade zinc, silver and lead at its 100%-owned Molaoi zinc deposit in Greece.

 

Highlights

 

· Hole MO_GTK_006 has intersected an excellent interval of 3.3m @ 22.1% ZnEq. (17.1% Zn, 1.9% Pb and 100.4g/t Ag).

 

· The interval quoted above lies within a broader interval of 5.8m @ 13.6% ZnEq. (10.5% Zn, 1.2% Pb and 61.1g/t Ag), which commences at 75.20m depth.

 

· The highest individual assay is just under 1m wide (0.94m), and grades 34.0% Zn, 4.1% Pb and 252.0g/t Ag.

 

· Hole MO_GTK_007 was terminated early due to badly fractured and broken ground, but did intersect the uppermost lode, which returned 1.95m @ 3.0% ZnEq. It is expected that this hole will be redrilled later to intersect the main lode deeper.

 

· This drilling was designed to obtain a sufficiently large sample for geotechnical test work, including crushing and grinding tests. MO_GTK_007 has intersected zinc 300m south of previous Rockfire drilling and assists with targeting more zinc at this location.

 

· Rockfire will continue to keep the market informed of exploration activity planned at Molaoi over the coming weeks.

David Price, Chief Executive Officer of Rockfire, commented:

"These drilling results continue to demonstrate the quality of the Molaoi zinc/lead/silver deposit. Our drilling is designed to obtain sufficient sample volume for crushing and grinding work index studies. Whilst achieving this principal goal, this drilling continues to confirm and infill 179 historical drillholes which were drilled at Molaoi in the 1980's.

 

"The robust nature of the mineralisation is evident, and potentially economic grades and potentially mineable widths continue to be intersected in every drill hole. The Board believes that Molaoi can assist the alternative energy demand and high technology future in Europe."

 

"The market will continue to be regularly informed of our progress at Molaoi, including the timing for commencement of our main drill infill programme and further geotechnical drilling."
