(NIC: TSX) (OTCBB: PNCKF) today announced that its option partner Rockcliff Resources Inc. (RCR: TSXV) reported that 100m step out drill holes south of its previous high\n grade copper intercepts at Tower continues to intersect high grade\n copper and extends the deposit southward.  Rockcliff has now\n intersected high grade copper mineralization across a strike length of\n 600m with the majority of drill holes testing the deposit down to a\n 300m vertical depth.  The Tower Deposit remains open to the south and at depth where down hole\n geophysics has indicated an extensive sheet of sulphide mineralization\n continuing to a minimum vertical depth of 600m. Future drilling will\n target the deposit along strike to the south and to a vertical depth of\n 600m.\n\n\nSignificant assay results from TP11-18 to TP11-24 holes are tabulated\n below.\n\n\n\n1.3% copper, 0.2g/t gold, 0.3% zinc, 5.2g/t silver across 2.7m including \n\n1.8% copper, 0.3g/t gold, 0.4% zinc, 7.6g/t silver across 1.7m (Hole 18)\n\n\n\n\n6.1% copper, 1.6g/t gold, 2.0% zinc, 35.9g/t silver across 4.9m including \n\n10.1% copper, 1.2g/t gold, 2.6% zinc, 56.1g/t silver across 2.6m (Hole\n 21)\n\n\n\n\n4.5% copper, 0.3g/t gold, 1.7% zinc, 21.4g/t silver across 3.7m\n including \n\n10.0% copper, 0.6g/t gold, 2.8% zinc, 49.1g/t silver across 1.4m (Hole\n 22)\n\n\n\n\n1.7% copper, 0.1g/t gold, 1.1% zinc, 8.9...
