Shallow gold target at Plateau confirmed

Rockfire Resources plc (LON: ROCK), the gold and base metal exploration
company, is pleased to announce that soil sampling at the Plateau gold deposit
in Queensland, Australia, has returned strongly elevated gold results, which
outline a readily accessed and untested target at least 200 m long.

·    This target is outside the area included in the +200,000 ounces of
JORC resource already drilled at Plateau

 

·    Unusually high soil results up to 0.67 g/t gold and 2.3 g/t silver
have been returned

 

·    The gold anomaly is undrilled and extends for over 200 m

 

·    The soil anomaly is open along strike and extends beyond the limit of
the sampling grid

 

·    Gold results are strongest at the edges of the intruded breccia pipe,
where the main gold resource at Plateau is also located

 

·    105 samples were collected, of which 41 samples were above 0.1 g/t Au
(1,000 ppm), representing 39% of the samples

David Price, Chief Executive Officer of Rockfire, commented,

"Rockfire has previously reported that the northern side of the breccia may
present a target based on high-grade gold-in-rock samples. These soil sampling
results are more coherent than expected and confirm the outline and extent of
near-surface gold on the north-eastern edge of the breccia.

"The magnitude of the results is pleasing and provides a clear target for
drilling. In addition to our on-going work in Greece, Rockfire intends to
drill the near-surface gold targets at Plateau to increase the JORC resources
already defined.

"We will continue to update the market with progress on our exploration across
the entire portfolio."
