[{"type":"text","content":"\n \nRNS Number : 8764Z Rockfire Resources PLC 22 May 2019 \n\n22 May 2019\nRockfire Resources plc\n(\"ROCK\", \"Rockfire\" or \"the Company\")\nCopper-in-soil defines clear targets at Copper Dome\nRockfire Resources plc (LON: ROCK), the gold and base metal-focused resource company, is pleased to announce that recent extension soil sampling at the Copper Dome Project in Queensland, Australia, has returned strongly anomalous results up to 0.1% Cu in the soils. As announced on 26 November 2018, Rockfire has an option to acquire Copper Dome (the \"Option\") and a decision to exercise is required by 23 May 2019.\n· Anomalous copper and gold results have been returned from the soils;\n \n· The copper anomaly has been extended south from the previous Rockfire survey by 500m;\n \n· Copper-in-soil is strongest at the margins of the mapped porphyries;\n \n· Gold-in-soil occurs in a confined east-west band between the two largest mapped porphyries;\n \n· The anomaly remains open towards the east and west;\n \n· Soil results are up to 1,115ppm (0.11%) Cu and 145ppb (0.15ppm) Au\n \n \nAs part of the recent extension soil survey at Copper Dome, 108 soil samples were collected over an area of approximately 850m x 600m. As previously announced, this extension was to test south of strongly anomalous soil samples collected by Rockfire during March 2019. A link is provided below which illustrates the distribution and magnitude of the copper-in-soil and gold-in-soil results.\n \nhttp://www.rns-pdf.londonstockexchange.com/rns/8764Z_1-2019-5-22.pdf\n \n \nDavid Price, Chief Executive Officer of Rockfire commented; \n\"These soil sample results are very pleasing. The copper appears to adhere to the margins of the mapped porphyry, whilst the gold forms an impressive east-west trend precisely at the contact point between the two porphyries as mapped.\"\n\"Our exploration to date at Copper Dome has included preliminary geological mapping, prospect-scale rock sampling and comprehensive soil sampling over the known outcrops of the intrusions. This exploration has returned very high-grade copper-in-rock samples, medium...
