TORONTO, July 14, 2011 /CNW Telbec/ - Rockcliff Resources Inc. (RCR: TSXV) is pleased to announce that a summer drill program has commenced on its Snow Lake Project located in central Manitoba. A minimum of 3,000m of drilling is planned in approximately 12 holes. Four untested geophysical conductors will be drill tested to determine the source of the conductivity. Two conductors each are located at the Tower and Rail Properties. They are the T-3 and the T-1B conductors at Tower which are located proximal to the Tower Copper Deposit and two conductors at Rail which are located along strike to the Rail Copper Deposit. All conductors have significant potential to host a VMS discovery rich in copper, gold, zinc and silver.

Tower Property: Drilling will focus on two untested conductors at Tower. Both conductors were discovered by a geophysical Time Domain Electromagnetic Survey (TDEM) recently completed by Rockcliff. The first is the T-3 conductor which is located approximately 800m west of Rockcliff's Tower Copper Deposit. It has a strike length of over 1 km and has very similar geophysical characteristics to the nearby deposit. The second is the 250m long T-1B conductor located approximately 100m west of the deposit. Additional drilling on the Tower Copper Deposit is planned for the fall.

Rail Property: Drilling will focus on two untested conductors at Rail. The first is a large TDEM conductor immediately north of Rockcliff's Rail Copper Deposit (National Instrument 43-101 Indicated Resource of 822,000T grading 3.04% copper, 0.90% zinc, 0.66g/t gold, 9.25g/t silver. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability). The TDEM conductor has a strike length of 1 km and a vertical depth of over 1 km. The second is a large off hole conductor south of the deposit where the nearest hole (RL10-56) to the conductor intersected 4.1m grading 5.1% copper, 0.6g/t gold, 0.2% zinc and 7.3g/t silver. The off hole conductor has an interpreted size measuring 400m long by 250m high. Additional drilling on the Rail Copper Deposit is planned for the fall.

Rockcliff has the exclusive right to earn a 70% interest in the Tower Property from Pure Nickel Inc. (NIC: TSX). Rockcliff must pay $150,000 in incremental payments over four years and will be required to incur aggregate exploration expenditures totalling $4,000,000 over four years.
