Rockcliff completes earn-in on Bur property in Manitoba
In May, Rockcliff announced results from the fourth-phase drill program at Bur, reporting shallow, high-grade intercepts from underexplored areas. Drill highlights from this work include 3.3 metres of 6.68% zinc, 2.34% copper, 0.04 g/t gold and 16.79 g/t silver (13.51% zinc-equivalent) from 92.7 metres; and 1.9 metres of 9.98% zinc, 1.9% copper, 0.02 g/t gold and 10.72 g/t silver (15.64% zinc-equivalent) starting at 90.5 metres.
Bur includes a historical resource of 1.1 million indicated tonnes, at 8.6% zinc, 1.9% copper, 12.1 g/t silver and 0.05 g/t gold; and 302,000 inferred tonnes, at 9% zinc, 1.4% copper, 9.6 g/t silver and 0.08 g/t gold. The volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit remains open.
The property is road-accessible and includes an existing portal.
Rockcliff Metals has interests in three mineral properties in the Snow Lake area of central Manitoba, within the Flin Flon-Snow Lake greenstone belt, which include current mineral resources and lie within trucking distance of a leased mill and tailings facility.
