Trading Symbol RCR: TSX-V

    SUDBURY, ON, Jan. 8 /CNW/ - Rockcliff Resources Inc. (RCR: Tier 1 TSX-V)
is pleased to announce that drilling will commence shortly on the Jackfish
Nickel Property at its Snow Lake Project located in central Manitoba. A 3,000
m drill program is planned on the project which will initially focus at
Jackfish where prospective, near surface, historical nickel-copper targets
correspond with airborne VTEM anomalies outlined in RCR's recently flown
airborne VTEM survey. The drill targets occur along the margin of the Jackfish
Layered Gabbro Intrusion. The intrusion is interpreted as a classic host for
near surface nickel-copper-platinum group metal (PGM) mineralization. Drilling
is planned to commence in January.
    Rockcliff's drilling will focus on several high priority VTEM anomaly
trends located along the margin of the intrusion with strike lengths ranging
from 150 m to 350 m. Limited historical drilling, coincident with the
anomalies, intersected near surface, multiple, stacked zones of nickel-copper
mineralization. No PGM assay results were ever reported.
    Significant near surface (above 30 m), historical, nickel-copper results
of drill intersected core lengths along the margin of the intrusion include:

    <<
    -   7.7 meters grading 1.39% nickel and 0.84% copper including
        2.7 meters grading 2.22% nickel and 1.25% copper;
    -   2.5 meters grading 1.84% nickel and 1.58% copper including
        1.4 meters grading 2.82% nickel and 2.53% copper; and
    -   2.1 meters grading 2.73% nickel and 0.50% copper.

    Ken Lapierre, President and CEO of Rockcliff commented, "Limited work
completed in the 1950s and our recent exploration confirms that potential for
a near surface, nickel-copper-PGM discovery at Jackfish is considered
excellent. Our initial drill holes will focus only on areas that have the
greatest potential for success".
    To earn a 100% interest in the property, Rockcliff must pay $100,000 and
issue 100,000 shares in escalating, incremental payments over a four year
period to W. Bruce Dunlop Limited. In addition, Rockcliff will be required to
incur aggregate, escalating, exploration expenditures totalling $350,000 over
a four year period. Please refer to the Press Release dated September 6, 2007
for further details.
