Rockcliff Expands Talbot Drill Program to 7,500m Intersects 5.6m Grading 5.90% Cueq including 2.8m Grading 9.9% Cueq

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jan. 18, 2017) - Rockcliff Copper Corporation ("Rockcliff" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:RCU)(FRANKFURT:RO0)(WKN: A142TR) is pleased to announce drill hole assay results from its on-going Phase 2 drill program on the Talbot Property, Manitoba. The Talbot Property forms part of Rockcliff's Snow Lake Project which is located within the prolific Flin Flon-Snow Lake Greenstone Belt, Manitoba, Canada.

Ken Lapierre, President and CEO commented, "Diamond drilling at the gold-rich Talbot copper deposit continues to intersect significant high grade mineralization and the mineralization remains open in all directions. The deposit is comprised of multiple lenses which is typical of large producing mines in the Flin Flon-Snow Lake mining camp. The drill program has now been expanded from 6,000 metres to 7,500 metres. We continue to focus on resource expansion of the deposit as well as drill testing geophysical plates/anomalies recently discovered from the resurveying of historical drill holes."

Completed drill hole information from its ongoing Phase 2 drill program is tabled below.

Hole #	From (m)	To (m)	Length (m)	Cueq (Copper equivalent %)*	Copper %	Gold g/t	Zinc %	Silver g/t
TB-016	849.38	855.01	5.63	5.9	2.64	2.94	1.67	23.00
includes	849.38	852.18	2.80	9.9	4.61	5.08	2.09	39.12
and	865.77	869.16	3.39	1.4	0.64	0.24	1.04	5.60

(m) = metres represents down the hole thickness as true thickness is not currently known,% = percentage, g/t = grams per tonne, *copper equivalent value used US$2.50/pound copper, US1300/ troy ounce gold, US$1.15/pound zinc and US$20 /per ounce silver, 100% metal recoveries were applied, copper equivalent calculation is: CuEq = Cu grade + ((Zn grade%/100 x Zn price) + (Au grade gpt x Au price/gram) + (Ag grade gpt x Ag price/gram))/Cu price x 100. The numbers may not add up due to rounding.

TB-016 was drilled at UTM NAD83 co-ordinates 458511E/5997012N, to a depth of 1,028 metres, along an azimuth of 285 degrees, and a dip of -70 degrees.
