These results extend the surface expression of the gold lode one kilometre further west from previous sampling completed by Rockfire in January 2019. \n· Strike of surface gold-in-soils extended by 1km\n \n· Total strike length of Double Event prospectivity is 4.5km long\n \n· Extremely high gold-in-soil results up to 3.86g/t Au\n \n· Results from rock samples of up to 58.5g/t Au\n \n· A parallel lode is suggested by the geochemical distribution\n \n· Mineralised intervals along strike are being [well-]defined to assist with future drill targeting\n \nIn aggregate, 424 soil samples and 12 rock samples were collected during this field program. Discrete zones of well-defined gold-in-soil anomalism have been identified at Double Event, with each zone approximately 350m in length. A link is provided below which illustrates the distribution and magnitude of the gold-in-soil and gold-in-rock results.\n \nhttp://www.rns-pdf.londonstockexchange.com/rns/0879Y_1-2019-5-3.pdf\n \n \nDavid Price, Chief Executive Officer of Rockfire commented; \n\"To me, the important conclusion from this sampling is not so much the high-grade nature of the results, but the discrete, well-defined distribution of the anomalism. This demonstrates that the soil sampling is working well to define drill targets. Just as important as the higher results, are the areas of barren soils. This clear definition helps to minimise the potential for fruitless drill metres in areas identified as non-mineralised. The high-grade rocks are most encouraging.\"\n\"We are gathering quotes for geophysical surveys to be undertaken at Double Event. Although we have confidence...
