Rockcliff Files NI 43-101 Report on Indicated and Inferred Resource Estimate for T-1 Copper Deposit, Tower Property, Manitoba

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Jan. 22, 2013) - Rockcliff Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:RCR) is pleased to announce that a National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") Technical Report has been completed for its T-1 Copper Deposit, Tower Property, located in central Manitoba. The report entitled "Independent Technical Report, Tower Property, Grand Rapids, Manitoba" dated January 20, 2013 (the "Tower Deposit Report") was prepared by Zsuzsanna Magyarosi, Julie Selway, Jason Baker and Julie Palich, independent qualified persons under NI 43-101, for Caracle Creek International Consulting Inc. (Caracle Creek). The Tower Deposit Report is available for viewing on www.sedar.com

The Mineral Resource Statement prepared by Caracle Creek for the T-1 Copper Deposit is detailed below.

The Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource for the T-1 Copper Deposit was classified according to the CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (December 2005) by Mr. Jason Baker P.Eng. (APENS#9627), who is an appropriate independent person for the purpose of NI 43-101. Mr. Baker has reviewed and approved the technical content of this news release.

The T-1 Copper Deposit is a remobilized, single, vertical dipping, high grade, VMS lens that is located immediately below a 100m thick layer of Paleozoic limestone cover. It consists of stringers and massive sulphide lenses of chalcopyrite, pyrite, pyrrhotite and sphalerite. Drilling has intersected the deposit over a strike length of 800m and to a vertical depth of up to 600m. The Deposit mineralization remains open along strike and at depth where surface (DPEM) and bore hole geophysics have indicated a continuation of the sulphide conductivity beyond the limits of the resource. The deposit is associated with a 12km long arcuate trending copper horizon hosting a second zone of copper mineralization (T-2 Copper Zone) and several additional conductive targets worthy of follow up exploration.

Ken Lapierre P.Geo., President and CEO of Rockcliff Resources Inc., a Qualified Person in accordance with Canadian regulatory requirements as set out in NI 43-101, is responsible for the information in this press release.

Pursuant to an exploration and option agreement with Pure Nickel Inc., to earn a 70% interest in the property, Rockcliff must pay $150,000 in incremental payments and is required to incur aggregate exploration expenditures totalling $4,000,000.

Rockcliff has recently exercised the option to earn its 50% interest by spending $2,000,000 on exploration expenditures and paying $90,000 to Pure Nickel Inc. over the last two years. Both parties will now form a joint venture and Rockcliff will earn an additional 20% in the property by spending an additional $2,000,000 (in progress) in exploration expenditures and paying a total of $60,000 over the next 2 years. Once completed, Rockcliff will control a 70% interest in the property. An underlying 2% NSR on the property is held by Xstrata Nickel, of which half can be purchased for $1,000,000.
